I felt the same way with Nephentes - for me this is Billy's best song but yet it's not as popular as "Rebel Yell" or "To Be a Lover", so perhaps it's considered as a 'long forgotten' rock masterpiece?
I remember when I first listened to "Worlds Forgotten Boy" as a teenager, a same strong impression has been staying inside my mind until now - that dark gloomy feel and the rebellious, bursting energy of Idol's vocals... those mighty 'n crazy shreds from Stevens... the heavy atmosphere... sound intensity...
Indeed we need this Miracle Joy!
Looking back to days when we were younger, there were times we boys faced some tough situations, like making big decisions for life. And this song, isn't it one that speaks about it?
The lyrics speaks resolution, it says never to Billy to fall, never to regret about the path you took "Oh, no, no shame. All my life, I'll not betray"."I'll shed all my fears, all my life. For ever more, for ever more."
The anguish created unstoppable power so that "Sound towers will crumble down"... And yes, "That Rock 'n Roll Boy"... he made it well allright!!!
