"sotd, 12/27/2K1, part 2"
 
   hmm... so I've been re-listening to all this Big Country since Stuart Adamson died, and I'm reminded that, months ago when I first saw the last episode of Revolutionary Girl Utena, I intended to make this the Song of the Day for her, relative to those events, at some point. However, thinking of it now, I can't find any record that I ever did. So here's to the Rose Knight, especially the italicized part.

(Come up screaming)
(Come up screaming)

I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you

I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone
Who is still a child

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might've wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

   Oh. My. God.

That happens to be one of my favorite songs. But mainly for the soaring melody. I've never actually _listened_ closely to the lyrics. Holy hell! That's dead on for Utena!!
