I don't get Ember's lyrics. But just reading Into Thin Air's lyrics sent chills down my spine, and still do whenever I hear them.

I don't totally either-but the possibilities are extremely intriguing. I doubt Carl's intent is totally one-dimensonal. It has many possibilities and implications-and has a very uplifting inspirational spiritual feel to it-even the darker shades. Still my fav tune, and one of my top 2 or 3 GH songs, and one of my top 4 or 5 Neo-Prog songs of all time.A masterpiece. ITA is great too, but just not as quite as innovative as the rest of the CD IMO. But it's soaring mood up inot the heights is very effective, and exciting.Sam Gamgee wrote:I don't get Ember's lyrics.

Carl wrote the lyrics? Well, gee, no wonder it didn't seem much like Glass Hammer (specifically Steve)'s ususal style.
That's why there's these things in the album called credits...

This is weird to me, because I seemed (maybe due to my love for odd lyrics and meanings) to hit home with the lyrics for Ember really well. I have a pretty good grasp on what it's about also, but that would only be my own interpretation, so it may not make sense to everyone else.yeshead 777 wrote:I don't totally either-but the possibilities are extremely intriguing.
