Notes on ''A Long Long Time Ago''
The centre of the song is about having no centre, because the song is about the past’s effect upon a ficticious entity, the imagined self. The past itself being unreal, can have no effect on anything, much less another falsehood. The song is about someone who doesn’t exist, even in the here and now, living a flywheel existence. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did pretending to have created it.
Great thanks to John Murray who provided the uncanny guitar solo in the middle of the song, and to Mattias Tome, who contributed the portrait, which compliments the song’s subject matter so appropriately.
A Long Long Time Ago
Took a flight on the back of the night
A long long time ago
Took a stand on an ocean of sand
Why I did I’ll never know
Ride on you broken angel
The sun is sinking low
How am I what I came to deny
A long long time ago
A long long time ago
Not surprised by the look in their eyes
A long long time ago
Life was cheap at the end of my feet
Where unknown shadows had to grow
Ride on you broken angel
The sun is sinking low
How am I what I came to deny
A long long time ago
A long long time ago
Such was I like a wheel on the fly
A long long time ago
Way behind with no shot at the line
Hobbled down a slippery road
Ride on you broken angel
The sun is sinking low
How am I what I came to deny
A long long time ago
A long long time ago
