Review by flyfolkmusic Oct 14, 2009
A truly beautiful piece of music - to build a home is both haunting, yet warming and inspiring. I imagine this song will mean something different to everyone who hears it, but to me, for some reason, it reminds me of childhood.
I'd love to know what the lyrics were really about - and what they really meant to the person who wrote them.
The track itself is very down-tempo and consists mainly of a piece of music played on piano, but other elements, such as a selection of strings, add to the melancholy of the singers voice and piano's notes.
One of my favourite pieces of music - it's terribly sad and almost upsetting to listen to, but in a beautiful, uplifting way. A tragic masterpiece for me. A fairy-tale with out the happy ending. The musical equivalent of Romeo and Juliet. You'll be weeping tears of joy from your inner soul, out of your ears cluching your pillow, screaming ''Why!!'' and ''Oh, the humanity!'' and when the track ends you'll just keep putting the needle to the start of the record and listening to it over and over and over again. That's how I'd describe it anyway. Steer clear of this if you are prone to depression or have ever had suicidal thoughts tough.
