This album was the soundtrack to my South African trip (with all of the African animals on the cover and such). I had originally gone there to meet a lady whom I was corresponding with via email (I'm a Yank). Well, that fell through and we went our separate ways, I heading to the coast to continue my vacation.
Well, as I am driving into St. Lucia Bay, this song comes on, one whose lyrics I hadn't paid much attention to by that point. Turned out it perfectly summed up what had happened between myself and the woman in question:
"Unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
I ran away to a room here on the bay
Interrupted life again, another new beginning
Where the silence echoes
You're no longer with me"
And not only that, but the other stanzas fit perfectly too:
"Through the darkness
I would walk in the streets"
I recall a very enchanting nighttime walk through the streets of said town...
"Looking out to a different sky will disengage me"
I had been going agog at all of the southern constellations and other astronomical sights (such as the Southern Cross)...
"I do not seek and not intend to find
A calmer ocean or a sun that'll never be mine" (yes above lyric is incorrect here)
I took my first ever swim in the Indian Ocean that weekend, and on top of that there was a partial eclipse of the sun, one not visible from the States.
