Lyric discussion by Han_Solo 

Cover art for Soft Rains Of April lyrics by A-Ha

A common theme on Scoundrel Days is the band writing about leaving loved ones when they left for England to progress the band. I think Pal had a girlfriend back in Norway and many of the songs are about leaving her. This is basically about phoning home, getting no answer and being homesick.

@Han_Solo Actually it was Magne who had a girlfriend back in Norway. I immediately got the thought that this is Magnes lyrics, and he is credited for the song, too. I don't know, but maybe he wrote the lyrics?

@Han_Solo it was Mags and his girlfriend was in France, so he would write her 4 times a day
