@[Talastra:54636] Livgren's true conversion to Christianity was in July 1979, Closet Chronicles was 1977. Before 1979 Kerry was a spiritualist who was really into the book Urantia which supposedly was a cosmic vision from celestial beings detailing the structure of the universe, spiritual evolution, and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Closet Chronicles is in fact a Howard Hughes allegory about a powerful figure who retreats into isolation, symbolizing a loss of touch with the world and regret over past actions. The song uses the metaphor of a king in his closet to represent someone burdened by their choices, disconnected from humanity, and confronting the lonely consequences of their isolation. Steve Walsh and Kerry Livgren wrote Closet Chronicles with Steve listed as primary writer. |
