Album - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
Lyrics:
The more you see, the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
(cut)
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

    This song represents most strongly music's power to attach itself to a certain moment for me. As soon as it begins, I'm transported back to my childhood, sat driving in the back of a hire car on the streets of cannes on a wonderful evening as the sun sets alongside the endless beach. My brother and sister are sat sleeping either side of me, and my parents are in the front, their smiles beaming back at me. I feel at home, I am privileged to have such memories, and owe them to this glorious song

    So true. And you cannot FULLY understand the sentiments of this song until you've reached a certain age or level of maturity. The bliss of youth and the novelty of life has a way of vanishing to the realities of life and time. Bruce Springsteen once wrote (and still sings) "...now I'm ready to grow young again..." (No Surrender).
