Its not that hard. Its about being able to see. The big sun on the screen is from the ending of the film Tommy, the deaf dumb and blind kid. From the sun and the rain there are other images each a bit more mythical. |

Spiro Agnew chaired the Space Task Group. On July 16 1969 - the launch of Apollo 11- as part of a push to double NASAs budget he announced that NASA would send humans to Mars by the year 2000. This was derided in the press and ridiculed in the song. |

Ancient musicians return to Earth in the future sadly to find their song still stinks. Has strange relativistic properties though, 3 minutes listening to it seems like an eternity. |

The competition in the performance is between Clapton and Bruce, anyone who know Cream knows that, what they did outside of performance has nothing to do with the meaning of the song. |

| David Bowie – Where Are We Now? Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
|
Having now heard the rest of the album it seems "where are we now" is the final question after reflecting on what has happened to Bowie and Europe over the course of Bowie's life, there's the holocaust, Normandy, love and death, escape, youth and fame, the pointlessness of it all. Bruges la Mort meets industrial with fixes of psychadelia when its all too much. |

A song does not necessarily mean what the songwriter says it means. Also a song does not mean what it means to you particulary if you don't listen so good. How many hotels in the town, and why is that important? How many hotels in Grtafton? So its not Grafton, it's a fictional place created for the purpose of..? |

50 Words for Snow is about how fleeting existence is and how the most beautiful things are the those that are lost so quickly, and lost over and over again, in different incarnations, and the tighter you try to hold on, the quicker they are lost again. |

| Foreigner – Waiting For A Girl Like You Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
The opening motif one of the works of genius of the 20th century, a closer look ...
the first two notes wide apart and dissonant, its a C then a B more than an octave apart, moving closer together, finally resolving on A. The whole meaning of the song captured in those descending converging tones. |

No, the line is ironic, it shows contempt for the judgemental line before it, but most lines in the song should be read as ambiguous since that is the whole point of the work, (also, whenever you use the word should you should stop writing about glam, they thought the concept of should was hilarious.) |
