(11) Floating Away

[superval99]

The general ambience of this song reminds me very much of "Spooky"! 

[Love Expresso]

"My brush my wooden flail
My ancient thresher"

What are these things hinting to?

A flail is used in farming - as a thresher - in threshing - that is seperating the grain from the stuff round it - literally the wheat fro the chaff. He is using it as a metaphor  - the paint brush stripping away to what is important, the way a flail and thresher does in farming?

...But I need a pair of boots
About as heavy as boots can be...

I think these words are the key to this song.

Thanks for sharing! I loved this version and started listening to Jakob Dylan on Spotify. After an hour or so, I thought, this is really lovely music, and I looked up his Wiki to find out he's Bob's son. Not sure how I missed that!
