| Peter, Paul and Mary – Puff (The Magic Dragon) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I dare any of you to listen to this song while alone and sing along. Someone asked "why would he bring the dragon sealing wax?" Puff was an imaginary friend, but he probably had some sort of medium: like a "dragon" he made out of strings, sealing wax and "other fancy stuff." Then he'd pretend he was going on adventures with him, like visiting kings and scaring away pirates. Eventually the kid grew up and stopped playing with it, so it ceased to "roar"/live. Eventually it started to fall apart ("green scales fell like rain") so the parents moved it into the garage...or threw it away ("sadly slipped into his cave"). I can relate to this. When I was a kid, I had an imaginary friend that was basically the rocking horse I sat on 24/7 as a toddler. |

I always thought it was "The way she had to have the color of her hair" I can't even fool myself into hearing "acted and" over "had to have." I guess it could be the accent, but... |

Firstly, I think the simplest answer would be that this song introduces us to the Writer. I think he's basically dwelling over Erica Court (or perhaps some/all the girls in the story) and talking about how he doesn't really want anything to do with this anymore, and he might as well just kill all of them off, since they're his characters. However, I have a moe unlikely theory. Did anyone ever think that maybe nothing in this album ever really happens? And it's called "Always & Never" because it's the Writer imagining/dreaming it happens, though it doesn't actually? It would set a good basis, as if you notice all of the other events in this album, you'll notice half the story is "seeing" things (talking to Ten Speed, flashbacks of Erica Court, flashbacks of the Killgannons, Jesse dies but is mentioned later, and then at the finale, the guillotine and the Crowing). It could also be, which perhaps may be more likely, that this is just a very long dream of Claudio's. I don't know...I just feel as if there's some parts in this album that really make one think that it's simply not true. |

The awkward music at the end of the song is actually the "hidden track", officially labeled as "Bron Y Aur". Bron Y Aur is the name of the house that Led Zeppelin stayed in (1969-1970) while they were recording Led Zeppelin III. Led Zeppelin entitled two songs with Bron Y Aur in it: one which featured a 12-string guitar (as it sounds in CO&CA's "Bron Y Aur") and one which was a country-like hoedown (again, like CO&CA's "Bron Y Aur") where Robert Plant sang about his dog (and, a dog barks at the end of CO&CA's "Bron Y Aur"). However, although it could be in paying respect to Led Zeppelin or, obviously, influenced by Led Zeppelin, the "track" itself I believe is important to the storyline. The dog at the end is most probably Apollo, and I don't know about anyone else, but the music to me makes me think of a new beginning, or redemption, or a new world of peace. For instance, for anyone who is familiar with the anime Trigun, at the end (and I won't ruin the ending) this music plays, and it has a very similar theme. |
