Thank you Ron, Bob, Beth and Marty! I’ve listened over, trying to find the David Bowie influences, but can’t. I listened to a lot of Bowie in my younger years, so no doubt his music has influenced me. I guess when you’ve been sitting in a pot of simmering soup, it’s hard to tell what is soup and what is you.

Regarding the lyrics, I prefer your description Ron - mystique. Lyrics have always been my weak point - they nearly always come last or second last in the creative process. Another influence for me is Neil Finn, Crowded House, Split Enz, Finn Brothers (their album ‘Everyone is here’ is pure gold). Neil Finn’s lyrics are often oblique - they say a lot without saying anything direct - so I decided to ease up on myself and write words a bit more fluidly. It was through this struggle that I developed the view that ‘words are just the vehicle for the music’ - not entirely true nor true in some cases.

Anyway, thank you so much that you liked this song!

Andrew
