Haha, thx. Yeah, I love this journal to be honest, and am having a lot of fun updating it. I'm kinda learning as I go, and I feel it was pretty sloppy at the start, but improving. I have quite a few items in mind that I want to talk about still, and I really hope it will continue to be helpful if you are able to keep up.

I especially liked a sound he incorporated repeatedly in the music...it sounds like a ship's deck or a wooden floorboard creaking when under tension while someone walks on it. The lullaby bell-like melody combined with the powerful lower notes makes me imagine the song is describing the delicacy of his child's life that is so fleeting while also being connected to the lives of those around her (parents, ancestors, and humanity in general).

Very cool interpretations. I can see all those things you mentioned as I watched it again with those in mind. Personally, I always pictured the first half of the song as the middle of the night and early morning, with not much going on and just the creaks and groans of the house settling as he, or someone, thinks about their kid. Then around the 4:00 to 4:30 mark in the song, the sun comes through the window, the alarms go off and they get out of bed to get their child dressed. Then the rest of the song is them walking down the street holding hands in slow motion, on a sunny day, to get to the bus.
I think both work. That's what's great about songs like this right? There's no right or wrong way to interpret it.
