Clive is asking: Which lyrics would you like to know more about?

[erik]

I need your help!
Finally... I am properly home after what has been about ten weeks of 'tour mode'... I can finally stop mentally 'holding my breath' and I can finally 'breathe out'!
And to celebrate... I have a question.
Maybe it's kind of a poll...

If I was writing a book, and wanted to include some of my lyrics, which ones would you like to know more about?

In my recent Arena tour blog, I talked quite a lot about the 'Moviedrome' lyrics and where certain parts came from and what they meant... Since then, I have been asked about several other songs...

So, there you have it...
Sleepwalker, The Cast, Strangers on a Train, Shadowland, Arena, She, Alchemy, King's Ransom, Imaginaerium and anything in between.
Please get involved!

Are there any lyrics I have written over the last 30 years that you might like to understand better?

To share your replies with Clive head over to his Facebook page or the Hall of Mirrors app.

Thank You...
... for all your comments yesterday... there was a definite leaning towards the Arena lyrics, but I guess that is because many of you are less aware of the hundreds of other albums, I have made 😉
I put together a kind of poll result based on your answers so far...
1. The Hanging Tree (This was a clear winner)
2. Butterfly Man
3. Dreams of the Ferryman (Not Arena... hoorah:)
4. The Legend of Elijah Shade
5. Paradise of Thieves
6. Mephisto Bridge (Not Arena)
7. Opera Fanatica
8. Shattered Room
9. Jigsaw (Not Arena)
10. Moviedrome
After this, many songs got single mentions.
I was asked several times to explain whole albums, but I'm not counting those. I will include more about the album Contagion if I should ever write a book!
If I get more suggestions, I will adjust this. For what I am considering doing, I might only be looking for about ten sets of lyrics, and this is helpful – although, if I'm honest, perhaps not surprising 🙂
