Toad the Wet Sprocket - Begin video free download
My favourite song by TTWS. Enjoy!
Band: Toad the Wet Sprocket
Song: Begin
Album: Dulcinea
Year: 1994
Lyrics:
Are you given vision
Are you second sight
Are you older than your life
Eighty days of sorrow
Endless more in sight
Still you child burn bright
And you see me crying again
And you hold out your little hand
Lead me shaking to his room
I thought I'd never see again
Close the door behind you
Turning out the light
Press a flashlight up against the wall
You say: "This is how we knew him,
In a little egg
It opened up and this is daddy now"
Now you're stepping back towards me
'Til the room is bathing in light
And the answer there before me
There's no ending when we die
Are you sleeping here beside me
Are you shining bright as the sky
Are you breathing now inside me
There's no ending when we die

A condensed, simplified, alternative rock version of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings"? It feels like similar emotional territory to me. This song is so perfectly constructed and beautifully executed, it fills me with wonder.10 years ago

I have loved this song since Dulcinea dropped. The best explanation I read is that is from a woman's point of view who just lost her husband. Her son takes her into a room and uses the light from a flashlight to explain they knew "Daddy' as a small egg (flashlight up against the wall) but as he pulls the flashlight back the light is all around the room, hence "Daddy" is all around them. There's no ending when we die. I read that a month ago, amazing I loved the song for 20 years and now love it even more. 11 years ago

+buellerferris - To answer your question, no, Glen does not sing lead on this one. Todd does. FYI, Todd sings lead on the following Toad songs: I Think About, Nothing Is Alone, Inside, Begin, Hope, All In All (Glen did chorus), All Right, Crazy Life. -- Just saw them this past weekend at the Keswick, in Glenside, PA. They were phenomenal and met them after the show. Nice guys everyone of them!11 years ago

It feels like this song holds many different emotions, while keeping a consistent tone and smooth transition between versus and chorus. It's disturbing, tragic, illusive, and resolute in many different ways.13 years ago
