"When I was 20 years old I was very sick with a serious illness that threatened my life if I did not take serious action and have a very brutal and invasive surgery. I was dying slowly for a year with my illness and losing weight rapidly. I was half the man I was before I became ill.
I knew I wanted to survive so I decided to have the surgery but the procedure went poorly and I began to bleed internally. The doctors tried giving me many blood transfusions but I was losing too much blood and having seizures so they opened me back up and tried to find the problem at the site of the first surgery. It turns out that I wasn't clotting blood because I needed Plasma infusions instead of blood transfusions which ultimately corrected the internal bleeding.
When I was discharged from the hospital a month later I was very very weak and couldn't even walk on my own. I was taking very strong painkillers and spent my days lying in bed in a lot of pain.
I had never heard the song before but the imagery coupled with the beauty of the music instantly made me begin to cry. Like the main character in the film I felt the feeling of being in a prison with my illness and I loved how the music brought this emotion fully into focus.
The way the song begins is with an extreme amount of tension, so you are instantly trapped inside this very uncomfortable, uneasy place. The tension builds and builds until you can't take it anymore and then suddenly the tension breaks and you are lifted into this beautiful chorus that is well worth the wait.
This chorus feels like flying and like dying, it is a pleasant and sweet relief, only to be thrown back into that state of anxiety and tension moments later.
I love this song very much because it represents this very dark and very formative time in my life when I stared into the pitch black mouth of death and found a way to claw my way back again, back to the neverending tension and the unease of life."
Quiet day at home, time for some nostalgia, when the world seemed better 🎶🙏🏻 #thewalkerbrothers #scottwalker #noregrets #originalpressing #vinyl #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinyladdict #vinylcollector #vinyljunkie #vinylporn https://www.instagram.com/p/CFmy-VuA6TE/?igshid=kf6zkx0bp5i3
