[Opinions] Re: Hannah
in reply to a message by Martha
I love this name with an association of purity and innocence: also I "grew up with" a folk-like song by an older rock group by the name of Styx entitled "Sing for the day". I always thought the message to be beautifully tragic - that the singer lost a young child (sibling or daughter??) and would call upon the spirit of this child(?) with all the questions, worries, and splendors of existence - as though a personalized guardian angel. The lyrics would imply a sad longing, although the tone of the song is quite uplifting. (Now I've just learned that the 'Hannah' represents the audience). Am I pathetic?? (smile)
Hannah you're with me in spirit wherever I go
To the ends of the earth and all points between high and low
Each night by the stage you appear as you are
The ever intangible child
Ageless and timeless as Dorian Grey
Oh Hannah I know that it's you and you're leading me on
Hannah you're my inspiration my fountain of youth
And as your surrogate leader I'm bound in your search for the truth
And yes how the truth rushes out
When it's become honestly clear
I see your anxious and curious eyes
But Hannah I need you as much as you think you need me
Come to your window tonight and we'll fly to your dreams...
