  • "..drove 300 miles from the place I call.. home

    and I tip my hat to the angel of the north...

    ...

    I will sailed over this country side with new friends and old

    We are nowhere but man, we're alright..."

    Sounds like he loved somebody very much and something went wrong.. and went sorta crazy because his heart doesnt' know what else to do.

  • The song is about his love for his job, his wife, family and friends. "Drove 300 miles from the place I call home" is about going away on tour...

  • There is a part where he comments on his love for his wife and how much he misses her while he is away playing the music he loves so much... "I just can't wait to see you on sunday, far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise [home in Brighton]. For this evening I will play back every message that you sent. So I can sleep to the sound of your voice."

  • At the end he is talks about how much he loves playing music, "Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive... I choose this [playing live], I choose this, I choose this..." Beautiful song.

    (Sorry for the three-part reply!)

  • Now I don't like using words like forever

    But I will love you til the end of today

    And in the morning when I remember everything that you are

    I know I'll fall for you over again

    ... it's perfect

  • Absolutely. As is "while poets try to engineer definitions of love, you know all I can think of is you"

    In fact the whole song says it all!

  • I just discovered David yesterday! Oh my God! What an amazing artist. This song is just a thing of beauty. Wow! stunning.

  • Ahh, I didn't know much of the backround reasoning behind the words.. I guess I was making them tell reason to how I hear them, lol. Thanks for putting it into a perspective for me.

    It is a beautiful song.. one of the most heartfelt I've ever had the pleasure of listening too. When I hear it... I think it might paint my own special picture, perhaps... and that is the beauty of art.

  • i love your voices... David Ford and Frances Law... you are amazing..!!

  • david ford is a genious!
