the lyric goes...
"the journey is the destination, that keeps us alive"
these words are like a net,
to try and catch the longing, with pen and with a page
but nothing seems to come, elusive as a shadow, beyond my reach"
and i always loved the lyric nothing seems to come, elusive as a shadow etc
but it struck me just how good the journey lyric was, for 2 years it never dawned on me, as i was pulled by the shadow lyric.. totally missed it
the song is called always been there, by duke
and it struck me for the first time having actually got that lyric, either rightly or wrongly, that the song is about the vulnerability of a songwriter, possibly with writers block or lack of confidence
which is very apt as it was his first proper commecial release in over 4 years, having been working on theatre and side projects.
i bet you're sorry you asked now lol
what was your lyric surprise?
