ELP - 'From The Beginning'

Last edited Wed May 22, 2024, 09:50 PM - Edit history (2)

Perhaps may think it strange and not very spiritually acceptable, but...
2 nites in a row while playing this I communicated with my reposed husband. However and whatever it takes. Yes, unconventional but not anathema or heretical.

Just found this on 'Song Meanings'. Whoa...

~From the Beginning
Emerson, Lake & Palmer~

There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind
Perhaps there's a thing or two

I think of lying in bed
I shouldn't have said
But there it is

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

(Someone's comment...)
"My Interpretation:
How about considering a deeper meaning? What if it the song causes us to pause and reflect on the events in our life and how they brought us to where we are? Might we perhaps consider the Creator who says He "inhabits eternity" and "knows the end from the beginning"? Rock stars aren't theologians, but the Spirit which hovered over the earth at its creation still works in the minds of men and inspires things they themselves are unaware of. Just my 2¢."
