patrick wolf - to the lighthouse

[music7598]

We shouldn't fight about what songs are about.... I think everyone should have there own view or moral about it and just enjoy the music

[GlockFromThaBlock]

Is he singin`about a flood who destroyed their houses, and he sings " To The Lighhouse my friend...."?

[yranac]

uhm, no actually. He's singing about a war, I think. You can referance the lyrics if you want. But he talks about orange skies, and how bombs are thrown at them[ for a more literal example] and perhaps the lighthouse is protection and thats why they're going there? As for "Great great minds, against themself conspire" i dont know how that relates to a war. but maybe the war is unternal?

The song's about Virginia Woolf & her novel To The Lighthouse, which takes place during the war. The line "Great great minds against themselves conspire" as well as "Build your castle, stop collecting stones/ And the riverbed shall not be your home" refer directly to Virginia and her suicide (she collected stones in her pockets to weigh herself down and walked into a river).

i cannot believe how amazing this song is.

If anyone other than Mr. Wolf sang this, it wouldn't be the same. He has this attractive personality and thoughtful vocals that transform any song into a masterpiece.
