Reflections on "Soul Meets Body"

This song paints such a peaceful picture when it flows through the air that I am honestly not sure if there's anywhere I would rather live! It speaks of this place where soul meets body and that is such a lovely way of putting it. Who can imagine a place better than your soul's deepest desires fulfilled in a physical form? The environment that is described is beautiful and calming. Many of the natural aspects of the song seem personified, which seems very comforting to me.

My favorite line of the song is:

 "'Cause in my head there's a greyhound station where I send my thoughts to far off destinations so they may have a chance of finding a place where they are far more suited than here."

This line is beautifully put and touches on an idea that I didn't realize I felt so deeply. The idea of a place where you could send your unwanted thoughts away to. How utopic is that? It sounds like a dream to me.
