Your starlit eyes
The afterglow a sign
You’ve set us wandering
So let me ride through night
Til love is everything
Now an age has come out of the loneliness
Your hand in mine
Your hand in mine
The great divide
A stitch in time
Then we recombine
The way it was
Well dust to dust
Has led us here to collide
The blind collective mind of man is all they’re offering
Then you bring a breath of life out of the emptiness
Your hand in mine
Your hand in mine
The great divide
A stitch in time
Then we recombine
The way it was
well dust to dust
Has led us here to collide
Oh love of mine
Bright as the starlight shines
Into the night
Changing our whole lives
You trace the lines through space and time
Until you find they all align
You give to me
A memory
Just a melody
I have to sing

Man life just played me a cruel trick. I dreamed that I was talking to my brother who has just recently died. In the dream I was with him and my sister was there. We started talking and he asked me if I have seen the show the great divide, or it was possibly the great escape. I realized that he was dead and that he didn't realize it. I asked my sister if she could see him but she just looked at me like I was crazy. So I just hugged him and told him how much I loved him. And then few moments later I woke up and searched for both. Of course something would have that name. Man it's super hard.

I’m a fierce Shins and Broken Bells fan. Listened to each song over thousands of times. Shaped my life, and then those of my children. My take on this song (which doesn’t matter) is that I wished that James Mercer had taken it more evenly, and slow. We all know his gift of falsetto, why waste them here, the entire song. Lyrics got lost. Point was made. Cheers y’all
