Lightbulb The Horses of Adore

across the deluxe version of the album, there are several references to horses, typically in motion:

Behold! The Night Mare - "and the night mare rides on"

For Martha - "long horses we are born, creatures more than torn, mourning our way home"

Once In A While - "the horses run, once in a while, for you"

Valentine - "let the horses run"


they're not exactly an afterthought either -- that part in For Martha is the climax of the song. on Behold! The Night Mare, it's the title and a frequently repeated line, and the rhythm of the song itself sounds like a gallop in a way. and on both Once In A While and Valentine, horses are in the opening line of the song

let us all appreciate the Galloping Horses of Adore!!

There was a time when James kinda looked like an alpaca, albeit an intergalactic one.


Hope this helps.

they're noble, mournful animals.

possess tremendous power yet often end up as the prey.

i guess it seemed like a good image for him at the time to express his feelings about the death of his mom and/or his relationship with himself

not meant as a meme, was a sincere observation

but many of the quotes people have brought up are from non adore albums

i like the one you bring up though, it feels of the same vein

Amen to that. Love how the image is clean and unmarred by the tracklisting smacked across it: just relegated all of those to the little tiny spine gap on the front. Great design call.

Came to this thread hoping for answers on where this was from, alas, no.

Note to self: ask WPC the next time he puts up a Q&A and get mercilessly ridiculed with zombie gifs!
