| Notes: | Late
in ’01 I met up again with someone I hadn’t seen for many years but who
had played a large part in my life in my early twenties. This was the song I'd always wanted to write for her but until then had never found words or
music to do her justice. At long last our unexpected meeting somehow jolted
this song into existence.
I especially like the imagery in the lyrics of this one. I always admired Tim Finn for the wonderful lyrics in the stuff he wrote for Split Enz and I’ve often tried to emulate his poeticism. Maybe in this song I’ve managed to at least draw near to such lofty ideals. |
