GUEST,Zeph Origins: Bright Blue Rose (Jimmy MacCarthy) (76* d) RE: Help: Bright Blue Rose 06 Feb 16


I read somewhere, but unfortunately can't remember where, that he wrote this just after the birth of his child, which is a pretty mind-blowing and spiritual sort of time anyway. It kind of made sense to me then.

I'm only repeating what I read, I don't even know if he had any children, and I don't want to undermine any of the thoughtful and interesting interpretations above.

It's not an easy song to introduce: the thing that appeals to me personally about it is the lovely and powerful imagery of it. One doesn't want to appear to be preaching religion at an audience, whatever one's personal beliefs. Just share the wonderful visions that such poetic words can conjure up, whatever the origin
