Greg, I was unaware of the poem. Thanks for giving it a spin. Tom

The idea of creating a song about the hyphen between dates was really fresh to my ears. I've never heard any lyrics like these before. And such a powerfully true statement, too. To my way of thinking, this composition epitomises talent, creativity and musicianship.

It’s the dash that counts...
What matters most is in between those years

I can't remember hearing any philosophical thought that has resonated so much with me as the above.

I'm heading back to listen again!

Noel, These philosophical songs can be a little tricky to navigate. It's possible to come off sounding like a pompous know it all. I try to avoid that at all costs. Glad you enjoyed it. Tom
