Every so often - and not very often at that - a song comes along that literally takes your breath away. The last time I felt like this about one particular song was when I first heard 'Cygnet Committee' by David Bowie and that shows you how long ago that was. Anyway, I need to share this song with all you good people who recognize and appreciate good music when you hear it.
This song is so very beautiful and is over 10 years old now. It's by a band called Jump Little Children and it's called 'Cathedrals'. This is the live version because, unfortunately, although the production of the original is good, often you can't hear the lyrics fully. Actually, I prefer the live version.
Although, initially, I could make very little sense of the song, I now have my own interpretation of what the writer's getting at. I think it's one of those songs, without going too deep into it that you can make up your own mind about.
Please listen to it. Appreciate feedback and maybe lyrical interpretation? Enjoy.
Jump Little Children - Cathedrals

In the shadows of tall buildings
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
The line moves slowly past the electric fence
Across the borders between continents
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
In the shadows of tall buildings
The architecture is slowly peeling
Marble statues and glass dividers
Someone is watching all of the outsiders
The line moves slowly through the numbered gate
Past the mosaic of the head of state
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
In the shadows of tall buildings
Of open arches endlessly kneeling
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
Someone is listening from a safe distance
The line moves slowly into a fading light
A final moment in the dead of night
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is
