I spent an inordinate amount of time during childhood just daydreaming, my imagination being my greatest adventure. Also roaming the countryside on the family farm, seeking something in my frequent walks. My melencholy personality and my somewhat voyeuristic observation of life lent itself to the rich, dark emotions the song describes.
I was always captivated by the oboe, a perfect instrument for the lyrics.
By the way, if anyone likes oboe in pop music, take a listen to "China Crisis - Working with Fire and Steel - Possible Pop Songs Vol. 2". Excellent oboe work in pop music.
OK, this IS my favorite A-Ha song.
