The last part of this verse almost brought me to tears when I first heard it simply because of the simplicity of the comparison... Hanging on for dear life atop a tree blowing in the wind is very much like hanging on for dear life amidst a dying love. I think we've all been there and I'm not sure I need to say much more. The tree is quite obviously representative of the writer and, quite frankly, makes me want to plant a tree for my kids if/when I have them. General CommentThis is a beautiful song, no doubt, but the second verse in particular is one of the most beautiful uses of imagery I've heard in a long time.

He needs to fight, but he is as sad as this song. A strong relationship, full of meaning, hope and love was established between two lovers, two lovers whom had suffered a lot. Between the two, they each felt safe with one another. Until one day the girl became ill and passed.
A man placed all of his self-worth into a relationship and she changed. At some point she made the statement "you're not the man i married" and left. Probably for someone more 'dangerous', more fun. His domesticity repelled her, even though he left his old self behind for the two to plan a future together.

It's important to note that a tree is there rather than trees... One seed survived and despite its condition the subject climbed it hoping to see the world. You might be right but the house might be a aspiration as itself or just a step closer to love.
To me, this song strikes a chord inside about a wonderful woman I know whom I have been talking with for going on two years now. We have talked on the telephone, laughed and smiled and spoke to each other on skype, and we have imed like no other two people have in the world. I love her immensely, and I have not even met her face-to-face yet. The next verse is important because seeds were planted, this may be symbolic of the hope for the budding relationship.

Things come and go, but we live, we love, and we always remember. This song is one if not is my favourite song of all time, and reading what you said i couldn't agree more i hope your doing well 15 years later man much love. The line "branches were sewn by the color green" indicates the tree/writer has grown into a healthy mature being. The song’s music video was directed by Andrew Griffin and features actors Peter Mullan and Julia Ford in a look at love, life and death. The full version of the short film also contains the first single from Ma Fleur, “Breathe”, and can be watched on Griffin’s Vimeo channel.
They sheltered and protected each other. But she changed, and turned away from him; she changed so suddenly and drastically that the woman he knew “ disappeared. ” perhaps literally it could mean mental illness or death, but sometimes, when lovers part, the one left behind speaks of how they don't even know the other person anymore in the song, she is a stranger to him now. I don't think she actually died, but the part of her that sheltered him (loved him, built/dreamed a future with him) died. Genius is the ultimate source of music knowledge, created by scholars like you who share facts and insight about the songs and artists they love. I once thought of myself and my husband when I heard this song.
To Build A Home lyrics
The tree, personified with skin, is the only thing not decimated, not in ruins. It has been standing guard over the shards of his past, his great wound. The tree is his only witness that there was ever a planned life, a great love, existing in this space. The tree is faithful, and has not forsaken him.
When the marriage collapsed, I did everything I could to try to save it. Now, I liken it to my brother, who was like a second father to me. My brother has the disease of addiction.
The subject's "person" wanted them to stay, to live, to grow. I don't know why the song was written or even if it was a track from a movie. When I first heard it there was just something about it that moved me.

A home is symbolic to the joining of man and wife. It is the place they will make their life together and raise children and grow old together. With the woman gone, whether she passed away, or became "lost," the home has fallen apart.
I just wrote, but my message is not there. I forgot to mention, I didn't build the house, I bought the house where he lives. He works on it, he's building it back up, it was originally built in the 1690's as far as my research has found. Point being - his voice is part of the song for his life and part of the song is my voice. The relevance is permeable throughout many situations I can relate to.
To me it makes me think of my Dad — all the good times and all the lost time. His imagery viscerally conjures this ascendance and eventual decline. The artist isn’t overly lamenting the situation. He’s still fond of what he had and understanding of what is to come.
