10.20.11 | Ah, The Fountain of Lamneth. The idea that this song is about a person's life cycle is interesting. Still, anyone with familiarity with LSD will attest that this song has a psychedelic interpretation. "(eyes) are open very wide" refers to the large pupils of an LSD taker. The "no one at the bridge" part tells of the horrors of a bad trip. "Panacea" relates the blessing of a good trip. "Have I left my life behind" refers to the feeling during a trip that the tripper has "died" and been resurrected. The beginning and end parts pertain to the "I AM THAT I AM" god-definition of "yahweh", a solipsistic experience of godhood that psychedelic-takers and religious mystics have. There is zero chance that this song has no psychedelic connotations. |

10.20.11 | Ahhh, The Snow Goose! This is a masterpiece of symphonic prog rock. In a cd store, 30 years ago, I've heard about a terrific band called Camel. Apparently, 'Snow Goose' had to be the best way to start with them. Since then this cd is never far from my cd player. Sooo inspired songwriting, so melodic, so deep. There are my top 5 albums:
'SnowGoose' = 'MoonMadness' = Mirage > 'Harbour Of Tears' = 'A Nod And A Wink'...
If you love old Genesis, Premiata Forneria Marconi(PFM), Yes, Maneige(Quebec) and stuff, this is for you. |

10.20.11 | dude i was kidding hard
A classic album in its own right, but many forget just how wonderful side B truly is. Take the song Tears for example. Tears is about someone who has had enormous emotional/existential struggles ("all of the seasons, all of the days..." for what seems like their whole life ("a lifetime of questions"), has always sought genuine understanding and empathy ("eyes that know why"), but has never found it. They feel totally alone in the world.
What I can't figure out is, when they see that the other person has cried for them, do they realize that that person truly understands what they're going through? The ending "I tasted the answers / and my body was weak / for you / the truth" seems to indicate that; but the part about "what would touch me deeper ... eyes that only cry ... or eyes that know why" might mean that they don't feel genuinely understood by the other person.
On a more intuitive level, this song made me imagine a grievous, emotionally draining relationship between two people. Perhaps they are so attached that it causes them great pain, or they desperately need each other but often wind up fighting. But in the pain they find great meaning; it proves how significant their relationship is. In the music you can hear the weakness the singer feels after being consumed by years of pain. I think it's beautiful how the music captures that feeling so poignantly. |

10.20.11 | Yeah true pizza. I think you've noticed from day one that I was francophone. And when I saw you throwing couple of French words I was wondering for a moment if you had French as your second language. Finally not the case but you really know how to laugh in French. That's what really matters =]

Nagrarok
10.20.11 | Well hello omni! |
Jethro42
10.20.11 | Nag, my dear ProgJect colleague, you'll never cease to impress me. It's safe to say that the languages are a strenght and a second nature for you. Let me (yeah it's my turn this time haha) correct you. By the way, there is no mistake. There we go;
''Hélas, c'est une belle langue, mais je ne parle pas beaucoup Français.''
However, ''c'est une langue belle'' is pretty nice, but more common in poetry or song lyrics and stuff. So you got a 5/5 there. The only minor fault (that betrayed your English speaking and is kind of charming), it's your ''de'' before ''Français''. So your final note; 9.85/10 |
Jethro42
10.20.11 | ''I just know enough French to fool everyone into thinking that I speak fluent French, and yeah I love the French laugh héhéhé!''
Héhéhé!!! keep your fantastic sense of humour my friend! Héhéhé m/ |
Jethro42
10.20.11 | oh and Nag, you could put a ''le'' instead of ''de'' Français, like this;
''Je ne parle pas beaucoup LE Français.''
It works either ways, with or without ''le''.
I revised your note; 9.95/10 |
omnipanzer
10.20.11 | Are you turning your list into a French class sir? |
Nagrarok
10.20.11 | Ah, I was thinking adjectives were placed behind nouns (Mont Blanc, etc.), but that's not always so. It already sounded a bit too poetic to me. 'beaucoup de' is not to be blamed on my frequent use of English I believe. I've always automatically paired the two words together although now I do recall there's not always a 'de' afterwards. As for a strength and second nature: not really, my German is alright at best and my French consist of just a few basic sentences, although it seems I still know the structure more or less. That's my four languages but I never use anything but Dutch and English. |
Jethro42
10.20.11 | Omni; Yeah I think I was a French teacher in another life, if you ask me. =] |
omnipanzer
10.20.11 | Nag are you our Belgian? |
Nagrarok
10.20.11 | I'm sputnik's resident Dutchman, Tyrael and clerqie are Belgian. |
Jethro42
10.20.11 | @Nag; nouns are mostly behind adjectives save rare exceptions. English is at reverse in that matter. As for ''beaucoup de Français'' I could credit you, but I'm severe in my corrections haha. But seriously, ''beaucoup de'' applies in plenty of French sentences. So, your final score; 10/10 |

Yeah I'm aware I was a bit radical in saying that you NEVER took French lessons. I was waiting for your reply. It's kinda logic that you did learn some French somewhere when I look at your short analysis above in your first comments. |
Nagrarok
10.20.11 | To be fair I wasn't sure if you meant extra French lessons or any French at all, now it's all clear. Concerning the list, I realize I still haven't heard 4. |
Jethro42
10.20.11 | It's my second favorite after ''Station to Station''. Clearly a must have. Yeah by ''any French lessons'' I meant ''any profound French lessons''. Also you never told me about that detail before. |
