Sometimes the song writer of a band has been moved, and writes about the experience. Doesn't make the whole band "about " something. Heaven forbid we might get a Biblical message along with our entertainment. (pun intended)

Nothing about this song strikes me as overtly Christian? Many songs have religious undertones....that's life, deal with it. It's not like this song is trying to convert you. (pimp)

It is a Neid Diamond colaboration with Stix...

Did they nick their name from the opening track on the Verve's first album? Methinks that is the case, judging by this song. It is pretty good nevertheless. :)

I'm not sure what all the backlash is about re Starsail0r. I feel that more artists that sound like U2 and Coldplay would be welcome. Thank God they don't sound like Justin Timberlake or Britney. I don't think they come across as crass or sappy. This song made me think. It sounds like it's about a young life leaving this world and shedding his/her accumulated memory for beginning a new one (reincarnation). Makes me think of that teenage girl in Florida who was found dead after her abduction a few days ago. It's a sad story. The song is sad and happy at the same time. Sadness of a young life ending and the wonder of a new one starting. It's just my perception. Does anyone get the same sort of thing from this song?

does nothing for me.
if I was a 14 year old girl I might like it.

but then I would like that 70's song
" we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun"

Sorry to all that now have that crappy tune looping thru there head.
why do bad songs stick in your brain so well ?

Whiny overwrought vocals that challenge the listener to remain concious. Ok that was a little over-the-top - but I have to say I find nothing appealing at all about the voice - and the music just feels pedestrian to me.

Good - although you can overdose on their over-wrought emotions on a whole album of their music.

you know... i am liking the new Starsailor that i've heard so far, but i have to admit that i'm a little disappointed. i was kind of hoping that they would take their music a little bit farther - maybe do something besides recording basically the exact same songs that they did on the first album, and just changing up the lyrics a little bit.

oh well.

sounds like they've taken some notes from Matt Pond in the time since their previous album. tasteful (read - not too sappy) string arrangements and all.

glad to hear it!

That sure was some nice writing, although, like the song, it's a bit jumbled in its metaphors.

Still not sure if I like the song or not yet.

The lead singer is reminding me of the frontman for The Origin.
