One of the freshest voices I've heard in a long time and really a great arrangement. Let me say at the outset that when I first hear this song I was blown away. That's not a detraction in any way because that show introduced me to many other great tunes. OK, I admit I heard this song first (like many) in that infamous House episode.

Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd. Our love is passionate and leaves some marks as a reminderĪnother symbol of love, symbolized by the color of reddish rouge The lakes are peaceful, and we sound like the laughing loons Nothing else in life is as important as love I travel a lot, like water from one shore to another There's a portrait of my mother on the wall she's always with us The sky is a nurturing mother and the moon is her child. Strange things scatter in life, like feathers from different birds stuck together in a flume Love is the most important thing in life, symbolized by the color maroon I dress in a way that highlights my identity The mesmerizing music of word clusters matching the music is originating from the old fashioned romantic campfire guitar touching the new age synthesizer´s sphere depicting a Sound-Mandala of marooned aspects of love.Having just my mother as family is sufficient for me The maroon colour´s burnig rope´s reddish rouge or lapping lakes like leary loons leaving might give an idea what it is about? Mother and son and womb and flume and water and the moon in the sky which is mother? Remember the Salvador Dalí painting? In an interview Justin Vernon expressed the special importance of this song connected to dream spheres connected to him. "Sky is a womb and she is the moon" which refers less to school knowledge and more to the truth of dreams and the patterns of subconsciousness. Maroon is a dark brown red colour? The text states: "Only love is all maroon". In the song you see "gluey feathers on the flume". Flume - the title - is a word with a meaning not very common? Had to check it out in the dictionary. ![]()
