Quote from: initially_yours on June 02, 2011, 10:16:02 amWow. I don't really know what to say. Compare this to "A Thousand Miles" and the change in all those years is astounding. Also, I can totally picture this playing in the background of a movie, so I have no doubt V would be an excellent composer. Yes, it's really dark, gloomy, atmospheric and different than what we've heard but man, I can't stop listening to it. Reminds me of Clint Mansell's "The Last Man" from The Fountain. It's oddly reassuring at the same time, even though it's about, literally, the end. I know what you mean about reassuring! The lyrics are about dying, but turning into diamonds -- I get a reincarnation vibe you know ? that we die but we can be reborn, or our spirits live on..that it really isn't the end. the end is just the beginning to something else, a new chapter, a new book. so on one hand the album is ending darkly but gives new hope

I saw it as diamonds lasting forever ("diamonds are forever"), and thus, us lasting forever. Since they're the hardest substance on earth, not to mention the fact that they're beautiful to many people, we become diamonds in the end, gone but lasting forever and that "it will be beautiful."
a comforting point of view of death. that's what i get in this song.
In tribute to Stephen Hawking, Carlton explains, "In the End," the final song on Rabbits on the Run, has the album "disintegrating back to nothing." The haunting track - with a prayer to her brother woven in, addressing the death of a friend - actually uses the music from another song, "Tall Tales for Spring," with the tape slowed down. It's a perfect end note to an emotional and creative journey that represents nothing less than the rebirth of an artist.

And in the endBegin againIt's the way of all thingsYour body's likeA wishing wellA million diamondsBones to dustBursting into a million diamondsCarry onIn the endIt's the way of all thingsAnd it will be beautiful
