[Verse 1]
So as you canyoneered from our world upwards
And the angels took their place
I was the loser at your funeral
And no emotion conveyed
It was drawn out in vain
And the idiot I am just figured
In the wake of your leave
That I'd never hear from you again
[Pre-Chorus]
And that I'd sing
With all this feeling
That your spirit would afford me
[Chorus]
My hand
On heart
It's not a thing that I've been dreaming of
And it goes without my blessing
And leaves me in a rut
But it comes and goes
And shows me all I'm missing
And it comes and goes
[Verse 2]
I was there at the backstage trying
But the words, they never came
And I was available for a statement but I just
Hung my head in shame
It felt nothing to me
All the ceremony I'd wasted
And then I'd thank them and leave
And say, "God bless you all, goodnight"
[Pre-Chorus]
And then I'd think
The grave was turning
And that nothing would absolve me
[Chorus]
My hand
On heart
It's not a thing that I've been dreaming of
And it throws me without warning
And leaves me in the dust
But it comes and goes
And fills me when I'm empty
Then it comes and goes
And I will need it when it's gone
[Bridge]
It quakes
And moves
Then breaks
Then shatters over me
In shapes of all these
Quiet sacred things I need
[Chorus]
My hand
On heart
If there's a line or something in these songs
That are worthy of some mention
You're free to let me know
But it comes and grows
And leaves me in my weakness
And it comes and goes
My hand
On heart
It's not a thing that I've been dreaming of
And it goes without my blessing
And leaves me in a rut
But it comes and goes
And holds me when I'm sleepless
Then it comes and shows
How I need you when you're gone

The lyrics really conveys how Iāve usually felt during funerals and there ceremonies. Lifeless. Drained. My mind out of focus during the whole thing. Iām sad, but Iām calm and collected. Itās only after the ceremony and I donāt see them there anymore, that it really hits me. And I canāt stop the tears from flowing in.
Thatās how I feel Iāll be during my cats funeral. Heās pretty old for an outdoor cat, but heās always been one of my best friends ever since Iāve gotten the chance to know him. Needy, but friendly. Loves being pet and headbutts your hand when he wants more. A VERY loud purrer. And always mainly hangs out with me. When Iām outside heāll walk with me. He only ever hangs in my bedroom when Iām home at the time. When Iām away he never touches it. Itās weird that a cat could make me feel this way as Iāve always felt like a dog person, but I guess Iām just an animal person in general. Maybe Iāve just met a really extraordinary cat.
When that day comes, Iāll miss you Ziggy. And Iāll reminisce about this song.
but nows not the time for tears me!! God heās still alive rn keep yourself together!! š

My dad passed in 2019 and this album is heartbreakingly relatable. Gang of youths music has always been special to me in a lot of ways. The cover of Both sides now I was listening to a few days after he died, and my mum told me that it was the only song he managed to learn on guitar and played it for her. They were long divorced when he died but it was a small insight to his younger self.

Love this song. Lost my father several years ago now and for a while thought I was fine but these things take their own time to consolidate. Quite a young age for the singer to lose his father as well and from what I've read he was a complicated person with puzzles to solve, resolve and absolve. Love the "singing in the rain" throwback look of the video as well. Best album I've heard in quite a while to boot and as a 54 year old don't get to say that too often these days.

Find this song genuinely interesting. The lyrics are very emotional, however the song itself and the video are very joyous almost and I absolutely love it.
Think youāve nailed this on the head in more ways than one. Congratulations, guys. You deserve all the success that comes your way. Looking forward to seeing you live again in March.

btw - the clip is a remake of Fred Astaire singing the song āSinging in the Raināā¦and singing in the rain is a metaphor for acknowledging sadness though not letting it take you over, which is what this song is about. Itās a staple topic for pop music - though it has to be said, this particular song does it the best Iāve ever heard. And Iāve been an avid music fan for 54 years.

The film clip is gorgeous - aesthetically itās just beautiful to watch, the movement and feeling, the joyousness of it all. But above all, the lyricism. As per usual, nothing less than absolute perfection from you guys. I have listened to āin the wake of your leaveā and ātend the gardenā probably a hundred times each and I canāt get enough. The storytelling is so beautiful and painful, yet hopeful. It is a revelation.
