Wants to set sail to catch a star, he had to fail it was too far... Here we have yet another Greek mythology drenched set of images from Messrs Brown/Bruce, Pete Brown loved cinematic images and references to ancient mythology, it tallied with his psychedelic experiences and unquiet spirit, if you look at all of the significant songs from this era, with Cream you get Ulysses, Worlds of pain and wah-wah induced hypnotic sound poems, The Sun is Black was always a symbol of deep melancholia, and Cream expressed the profound melancholia of this era, saturated in cinematic imagery |

It is impossible to deliver a conclusive account of the essential meaning of this song. We are dealing with the realm of metaphor, imagery and subjective idiomatic language. However, we are presented with the opening lines, which immediately gives us the 'painted picture' - 'It is already written that today will be one to remember'-And-'The feeling's the same as being outside of the law'. The spirit of the times, when any day could be historical, new ground was being explored, eventful and significant times, memories being forged out of the raw materials of new experiences. Being outside of the law - obviously we are dealing with exceptional times, people , the feeling is the same as if we are set free of normal constraints, we are enabled and our potential is opened up, risky, potentially dangerous but exhilarating. And then we have the references to a girl, a relationship, seeing a 'Sign' but not being able to access the person? I missed you there - perhaps a dying romance, a fading connection which brings sadness. We have to go with our own feelings, our own responses-but these were some of mine. |
