![]() Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. ![]() To me it all points to the physical and spiritual bond between mother and child. Perhaps another bonding moment where mother shows tender love and takes care of her injured child The special bond of a mother in a child's upbringing where the mother reads silly poems or sings silly songs, or even helps the child's understanding of the alphabet by emphasizing all of the "L" sounds in a silly way. and even the reverse of that wherein a soldier heading for war has with him or her the great ever-present love of his mother I move in water shore to shore, nothings moreĮspecially strong case for nothing being more powerful than the love of a worried praying mother for a son or daughter going into harms way on ships headed for war. He's telling us exactly who he is describing - the idea that a mother's love is always with us The bond of motherhood with the mother (moon) being the brightest thing in the child's life from gestation through all of the life of her child. The moon is the brightest thing in the dark night sky (womb). Proof again that there is a bond between mother and child with a proud mother wearing a maternity topĪ mother's love for her child goes much deeper than redĮither school projects requiring much assistance and a mother's loving help or perhaps as the waters of life flow by there are sticky situations a child can get into which are impossibly messy like feathers and glue, but a devoted mother will be right beside her child through it all.

I was intrigued for several days thinking about this song and its possible meanings. My hats off to this project - nicely done! By the way I think its awesome that he did this song and produced a whole album of very interesting material. Since this was the first version of the song that I heard, I will comment on Peter Gabriel's forum. ![]()
