In The Meantime

Spacehog's 'In The Meantime' is a song that encapsulates a message of universal love and the anticipation of a better future. The lyrics suggest a journey towards achieving a 'divine' state, where positivity and happiness are abundant, and where the stars align in one's favor. The repeated phrase 'when all is well and well is all for all' conveys a sense of communal well-being and shared success. The song seems to advocate for a collective happiness, rather than individual fulfillment, emphasizing the importance of unity and harmony among all people.

The chorus, 'We love the all, the all of you,' further reinforces this message of inclusivity and affection for humanity as a whole. The band expresses a desire for a world where nature is flourishing ('lands are green and skies are blue') and where everyone is connected by their commonalities rather than divided by their differences. This utopian vision is tempered by the recognition that such a world is not yet a reality ('maybe in the meantime something's gone'), but there remains a hopeful outlook for the future.

The song also touches on personal longing and the search for love ('there's a girl who fits the crime / for a future love dream that I'm still to find'). This personal narrative is woven into the broader theme of hope and expectation for what is yet to come. The mention of giving love to the future of humankind suggests an investment in the well-being of future generations, and a belief that love and kindness can lead to a better world. 'In The Meantime' is a call to cherish the present while looking forward to a brighter future, filled with love and unity.
