Slight Return Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The essential restraint is scarecly moving backward
To form ties with old alliences
You move me
Underwater you breath for me and i'll breath for you
A view of separate locations
A horizon I can't see
In "Stockholm" by Slight Return, the lyrics are invoking a sense of admiration and respect for someone. The singer is infatuated with the beauty and subtlety of their beloved, and seemingly the distance between the two. The "essential restraint" in the lyrics may indicate a sense of hesitance or barrier, but it is overcome as the singer finds themselves moved by their beloved's existence. The lyrics also speak of an intimacy between the two, as they breathe for each other underwater - a metaphorical reminder of the depths of their connection. Yet despite this, the horizon remains unseen, indicating that there may be things left undiscovered or unresolved.
Overall, the song's lyrics can be interpreted as a reflection on the complexity of love and relationships. There is an appreciation for both the inherent beauty of the object of the singer's affection and the challenges that come with it, such as past alliances and unknown futures. The interwoven themes of intimacy and distance illustrate the balance between connection and autonomy that can exist between partners.

It's incredible what three men can do with three instruments.
Hope they're doing even better in paradise. Rest in peace legends.

The drumming from Mitch was great.

Hendrix family finally starting to give up their grip in Jimi's music? It was all about the money for them.
Paolo
The technique of Jimi is unbelievable. He drops every note in a perfect way with the timing of the song. He was not a guitarist. He was a master of soul experiences, speaking his wisdom through the mythical sound of his guitar. Nobody will be close to him, 'cause there are guitarists, and then there is the only Jimi!
