| Some great comments here, even some that are a long way off from what the writer evidently had in mind. i particularly like the one equating Sandman with the sand running out in an hourglass. Also the one equating the fire inside with unrepressed feelings about war experiences. | |

@[taverner:45039] Of the comment I've seen this is the one that rings the truest, e.g. it's the only one that gives context to the line in Italian. Nowadays it's easy to follow up on breadcrumbs such as 'Ghana Rondo'. A rondo musically speaking is a movement with a recurring theme, and a quick look at the Wikipedia page for Ghana, specifically the section on History of Ghana (1966–1979) with the political 'go-arounds' happening then, gives a pretty good idea of what that line is about. |
