 Topic: Suppers Ready- What is it all about?
Posted: March 31 2008 at 10:43 |

I've formed my own belief over the years that it is about fear, both real and imagined, and overcoming it through faith. But then Tuxon has a pretty good bead on it, too.

I was going to post this question but figured it had been done already. I think the definitive answer is it's about twenty-two minutes and fifty-two seconds. The live version is about twenty-four minutes and thirty-two seconds. Which leads to another interesting question, what's in those extra minutes? Extra music or did they just play it a little slower?

something like that.

I think that about sums it up! Except may I add, that it's the Last Supper, so no more supper's!

suppers ready is about a man reflecting on his past battles between good and evil....all subjective ofcourse. the whole piece is basicly explaining the changes withen him trough the years. after the first movement where he is already at peace and happy he starts to reflect on his spiritual journey which is basicly a downward that inevitably results in insanity( the part where everything "changes") after that he struggles with evil and ultamitly (as always) good prevails.
Atleast thats my impression I could be wrong

OK can anyone give a synopsis of what Suppers Ready is about. Is it a ramble or is there method in the madness of the lyrics?
