It´s pretty obvious, isn´t it? The song might be full of metephors, but they are quite self-explenatory, especially after the chorus.
It´s a beautiful love song. One of his best. |

About the interpretation: I´m not quite sure. BUT I have 2 say that I think this song is absolutely brilliant and very very underrated. And I honestly can´t believe that this song wasn´t chosen over Still Would Stand All Time for GB, because I´ve never "gotten" SWSAT - it doesn´t really make any special impression on me. The Grand Progression, on the other hand, is fantastic! What do U guys think about this? Do U think SWSAT was the right choice or would U, like me, prefer the other one??
But I like that U pull this song into the spotlight, InternationalLover  |

I like it more than SWSAT, but that's still a good song. This song sounds more Parade-y to me.

Me, too. I think because of the piano.
Lyrics:
Can it be in this seemingly short space of time We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds? Now I want 2 whisper in your ear That U're OK
If love were gold then I would be fixed 4 life If I was a star, then baby, U would be the night And I want 2 live my whole life through Inside of U
CHORUS: Darling it seems I have found the grand progression Whenever I'm in your arms From July until June, every sun and every moon Melting inside of your charms
If there really is a God up above 2 him I owe my life 4 U my love Now ... darling, if I died yesterday It's OK
CHORUS {x2}
Can it be in this seemingly short space of time We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds? Now I want 2 spend my whole life through Inside of U |

I think SWSAT was the right choice. I've never understood the praise for Grand Progression, it has left absolutely no impression on me whatsoever. |

That´s fine - and interesting. I guess it just sums up all the different types of music he has, and a song that is anonymous 2 me is the other way around 2 U, and vice versa.  |
