As a matter of fact, there's a whole lot of Astral Weeks I don't even want to tell you about. Both because whether you've heard it or not it wouldn't be fair for me to impose my interpretation of such lapidarily subjective imagery on you, and because in many cases I don't really know what he's talking about. he doesn't either: "I'm not surprised that people get different meanings out of my songs," he told a Rolling Stone interviewer. "But I don't wanna give the impression that I know what everything means 'cause I don't. . . . There are times when I'm mystified. I look at some of the stuff that comes out, y'know. And like, there it is and it feels right, but I can't say for sure what it means." There you go Starin' with a look of avarice Talking to Huddie Leadbetter Showin' pictures on the walls And whisperin' in the halls And pointin' a finger at me I haven't got the slightest idea what that "means," though on one level I'd like to approach it in a manner as indirect and evocative as the lyrics themselves. Because you're in trouble anyway when you sit yourself down to explicate just exactly what a mystical document, which is exactly what Astral Weeks is, means.

If I ventured in the slipstream / Between the viaducts of your dreams /Where the mobile steel rims crack / And the ditch and the backroads stop /Could you find me / Would you kiss my eyes /And lay me down / In silence easy / To be born again

"The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement - in fact, of nervous functions in general, - are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance."
~Aristotle
"If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?"
