“Stratospheric traces of our transitory flight
Trails of condensation held
in narrow paths of white
The sun is turning black
The world is turning gray
All the stars fade from the night
The oceans drain away
Horizon to Horizon
memory written on the wind
Fading away, like an hourglass, grain by grain
Swept away like voices in a hurricane”
This song always reminds me of 9-11. There is one song on the album that was written about 9-11. However, many of the songs in my mind relate to that day. Most of the album is based on the writer's (Neil Peart) experiences and recovery from the loss of his wife (cancer) and daughter (car wreck) within a year of each other.
But - to me, the lyrics of all of the songs are relatable to anyone, or a nation, trying to deal with loss and grief.
Good evening, 21twelve...nice tune, nice lyrics.
Thanks for the link.
