We've said this before . . . part of the allure . . . is the mystery. . . . keep 'em guessing . . . it piques curiosity.

KR2 I say; Don't explain yourself, keep us in the dark and retitle the song: Stay Lost :D

and who is this fella you were sitting by? . . . phantom ache? . . . one of those guys your mother warns you about? . . . or a sad memory? . . .

. . . and then all of a sudden you're sprawled out on the floor of your attic, (writing these lyrics?) being snapped back to reality by the local TV news of a tragic buildings collapse.

Like Vic said, the scenes would make for a video . . . call it Daydream Tripper . . . no wait, that's been done.

You don't HAVE to explain yourself . . . but if you keep us in the dark . . . we'll stay lost.

That's how it works for me, anyway. Like I said in a different post, I have a vivid imagination - I can almost see the soft focus video for this, with a sudden cut at the end to a news programme showing the disaster....

I could see this working well as a kind of low key, Jim-Morrison type song - minimalist music, almost-spoken softly voiced lyrics, building up to a loud crescendo where the sudden reality of everyday desperation creeps in..

:D :D :D

Wow! A timely tragedy for inspiration. :shock:
This is the incident you are referring to. Yes?
Cologne building collapses, at least 2 missing 2009-03-04 11:08:27

I think that one of the worst ways to die would be in the ruble of a collapsed building and the horror of the family members standing by waiting to find survivors.

Very intriguing lyrics. Nice job!

I got on at Ashdown Forest
Though the direction was all wrong

I dozed all through the landscapes
Of minor day descriptions
And refused to shake a hand

I must have missed a couple of stops
Where you or someone else
Had been waiting for me to get off

I sat beside phantom ache for a while
To the sound of distant song or lightning
Until a book called out

And I am still sprawled on the floor of my attic room
As two houses collapse in Cologne

...and now I'm almost on the train to Berlin to catch one of two buses to Cardiff :D
