![]() I was rather shocked to hear one place was Cuba !.which I've visited twice and never seen activity like that at all ! But then again I was on a state visit to see my old pal Fidel who I spent many weeks with in a Bolivian jungle when I was a chic young revolutionary and was sone of the original virgins who foot rolled cigars for the great Castro. However.I saw a brief clip on cable tv and there is one slight connection which although I have no clue about GG's guilt or innocence.although one should presume the Viet officials act honestly ( although I find it somewhat amusing that the country is labelled an evil Communist dictatorship when necessary and at other times an innocent struggling third world country when it suits the purposes of the media ).and that was when the BBC reporter listed a host of countries the man had visited and claimed they were all "pedo paradises" or words to that aning he has guilt merley by travelling to those places. ![]() There is a man's voice "counting" down, and a mention of the radio station that is still available for entertainment.And it is unfortunate that this subject keeps cropping up on here as though it were somehow connected.(and why are we/I contributing ?) " Note: The backward message at the beginning of the song is BBC television signing off for the night. ![]() ![]() he is escaping by blaming someone else, a murder or suicide? "i must fight this sickness. PORNOGRAPHY, the last song, and the last song Robert wrote for a while, is fuelled by the same self-mockery, self-hate, that burned in ONE HUNDRED YEARS, but it is, if only very slightly, a little more hopeful than the others. COLD is another song about a drug and its grip. A STRANGE DAY was how he would feel if it would only be the end of the world. THE FIGUREHEAD was a grotesque skull sculpture that he had taken home to confess to, and the song is about guilt. Robert had found some old paintings and sculptures in a cupboard there and had taken some home. Shooting the CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES video in the old asylum had also a profound effect. SIAMESE TWINS was written about the ugliness of love. THE HANGING GARDEN came about when he was at home, listening to the noises of cats outside, it made him "go strange". It is also about a drug and its effect, short-term, or so Robert thought. The line "A charcoal face bites my hand" from A SHORT TERM EFFECT was from a book in which a patient drew people, in charcoal and then had nightmares in which they came alive. ONE HUNDRED YEARS is pure self loathing, and contains probably the key line, the line that underpinned this period of writing: "It doesn't matter if we all die". He had written everything he needed for the FAITH album and had nothing more to say. DESCENT was an instrumental piece, because Robert didn't want to write any more words. FAITH is completely self explanitory, as obtimistic as Robert could get, it does, or shoud, offer a note of hope. THE DROWNING MAN is about mourning Fuchsia, a symbol, a girl, a character in "Titus Groan" by Mervyn Peake: mourning the death of innocence, the death of blind love. DOUBT is expressing the anger and frustration at the pointlessness of everything at the time, trying to fight the waves of absurdity. THE FUNERAL PARTY is about the death of Robert's grandparents and then ultimately himself. ALL CATS ARE GREY is just a nightmare of being lost and trapped in caves, echoes of the grave and of prison cells and again of growing old. blotting out the world through the eating of forbidden fruit? Deafened by lust? a track whose key inspiration had been drawn from one of Truman Capote's precise studies of Southern Gothic, Other Voices, Other Rooms. PRIMARY is about toying with the idea that it may be better to die very young, innocent, and dreaming. THE HOLY HOUR was written while Robert was sitting listening to mass in the catholic friary church in Crawley on a Sunday night trying to make sense of the communal response and faces.
