| Gareth Liddiard – The Radicalisation of D Lyrics | 15 years ago |

A great insight into gaz's thoughts on the song, courtesy of M&N: http://theworldaccordingtogaz.com/ I'm interested to know how the imagery is exaggerated in this song though david_lpfan. Are you referring to the details of Hicks' life being portrayed inaccurately? Liddiard admits in the interview that the song contained events that were derived from his own personal experience. In some of the other interviews floating around, he seems almost reluctant to acknowledge the Hicks story as the primary influence of the song, yet in this interview he doesn't shy away from it. I completely agree that the final two stanzas are the song's high point. Those are probably the best lyrics his ever written. It conjures memories of Jezebel, the high point of Gala Mill. Any suggestions on the significance of 'Cliff' though? Or is it irrelevant? |
