Thanks Keno. My bad re Sister Morphine. I’d erroneously assumed it was there at first and can see that it is correctly omitted. No direct reference to dying but when I saw your comment I had to reread the lyrics, as I’d never in all the time of listening thought for a moment that the singer didn’t die in the end. Last few lines always sealed it for me, with “in the morning I’ll be dead”, albeit from the obvious druggie haze. Having reread I can see that’s not clear and I like your perspective that to have written the song they must have survived. I’d always thought of it as being sung directly from a drug infused deathbed, shortly before death. Guess Mick and Marianne for that matter sing it pretty well if that’s the case and all things considered!
Again I agree with your PIB points and it’s not clear that the song is directly about death. There’s the reference to the loss of a love one, and is primarily about the resultant grief I think, but it’s such a raw and primeval sounding song that that grief seems to go way past depression to me to a point of the singer seeking total and utter oblivion let alone death. I agree here tho that he doesn’t get that death, but not so sure in Sister Morphine!
Interesting polls again Keno. Thanks
