Spocks Beard - Wind At My Back

Spock's Beard performing Wind At My Back in Sherman Oaks California on September 16, 2002 right before Neal Morse left the band.

Lyrics:
How can you be
Like a sky stretched out before me
And the world is turning your way
Even darkness is better this way

Can it be true
That it all comes rushing from you
When my resistance is gone
And there's nothing that I can lean on

You are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land

You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back

All of the above
I'II have the lot for my love
And as we're becoming somehow
As we're changing the future to now

I just want to live
In the place that you have to give
I'll let the heat beat me down
Until the water comes down

You are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land

Yon're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back

You are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land

And my soul has been kissed
Just because you exist
You're the dream that's a fact
You're the wind at my back

You're the wish that I make
You're the prize I might take
You're the gold that is free
You're the groom on one knee

You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back

Thanks for letting me know. I will make this a private video.

[mrjekyll09]

i miss neal :(

[ceysu89]

love nick's voice

[acjuelich]

The things I would do to see this lineup perform the entirety of 'Snow.' It would probably be my one dying wish......

[TheCrazybeat]

Graet to see Neal playing with the "Boys"

[jesolinger79]

In his book Testimony Neal declares that this song is about Jesus.

[Buggusmac]

If Neal left because of God, that is something he and I will need to discuss when/if I get up there. I love and miss this band soooo much. Too bad!

[Sc0ttPrian]

things like this should not be removed off youtube. because there are MANY people like me who dont have the money to go out and buy every artists videos, the albums are one thing, videos are extra.

Anyway, we make up most of the population who listens, we are the ones who talk about the band and expose them to all who we know, as they aren't known by enough.

just my opinion..

[futsal1958]

Sublime.

[ToothTwister77]

@RanulfoKnox Considering Neals conversion to Christianity, it is an interesting question. I personally think that God is the subject of the song, but it could be applied to Snow or anyone really who inspires and nurtures others to be the best that they can be.

@RanulfoKnox

I think the song is Snow singing about his love Carie. Later in the album when the song is reprised it must be about all his friends saving him from the brink of death

[RanulfoKnox]

Who is this song for? snow's son? god?

love the album but i have always wondered this

[Guitarz1970]

Nice harmonies!
