Fragaria (Virginiana)

from HSAL #40 - "Wild Strawberry" by TLVS

/

about

Originally two song ideas, "Fragaria" came together in the spring of 2018. It has since become a live favorite.

lyrics

This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward.
