  • I did a 5 page essay about the merits and metaphors of this song

  • @etherealunion would you be willing to share the essay? I'd love to know more about the metaphors in the song, I find it deeply moving.

  • @billsutherland1 Bill, the comment about the essay is from user/bowiefan517. You should ask him. It really would be interesting to read his essay.

    I tried to link his account here but YT won't let you place links in the comment area. Just click on his name in the comment area & you should be able to send him a reply....

  • @bowiefan517 Wow, 5 pages... cool.

  • So glad that you all enjoy this song as much as I do..  thank you...

  • as I understand, Peter builds up a great flowing 'tension' that keeps me motivated and on the egde that continues throughout the middle section of the song, and when he says " I hold the line" and on, he releases that tension to the end. so powerful...

    among the very few composers that take advantage of 'diptych' and does it like no other.

  • letting go of life

  • @jackhillty good luck :)

  • @61Turboman My thoughts exactly man. Hands down one of the most powerful songs ever created. This is pure inspiration.

  • i think I'm losing it....

  • I too, hold the line. in fact, I'm holding it right now. wish me luck

  • This is Peter's finest work.It is without doubt a masterpiece!

  • @etherealunion Yeah but he used 70pt font..
