See Dean Wareham's blog from Feb. 27, 2015, shortly after Leonard Nimoy died: http://deanwareham.com/blog/112236414439 "Today’s song is one of my own, for the great Leonard Nimoy. I had the pleasure of seeing him on Broadway in the late 1970s, in a production of Equus. I can’t remember why I titled this “Spook” instead of “Spock,” perhaps I was embarrassed to have written a song based on a Star Trek episode. The lyric concerns the episode Operation Annihilate where Spock is blinded in an experiment. Bones thinks the blindness permanent and blames himself. But no, Vulcans have a second eyelid, and Spock is alive and well, and overhears Bones saying that Spock is the best First Officer in Starfleet history.

Glenn Mercer, Glide Magazine, May 2016: Reflecting on the album and the song, Glenn Mercer says, “When I wrote Only Life, I had been thinking about how hard we often struggle to navigate our lives toward our goals and that, ultimately, we have very limited control over what actually happens throughout our existence. I also thought about how that can be seen in either a positive or negative way. It can be depressing to work at something only to have it go wrong, but it can also be liberating to not be too attached and obsessed over outcomes. I think it’s about finding a balance between our desire and our destiny. When those are at odds, we feel anxiety and when they align we feel at peace. We decided to re-record the song because we had introduced a new arrangement that seemed to work in an acoustic setting. We did it here at my house, so the comfort level was high.” http://www.glidemagazine.com/156938/song-premiere-listen-re-worked-version-feelies-classic-life-upcoming-barnone-reissue/ |
