".... i wonder if you dream about them too."
AH YES.. i remember the age of candles.. .. ahem....yes yes, quite quite....
This one slipped onto the frequencies quite late in the evening -- around 2 am in fact. I first glimpsed at this in the year 1986 and was transfixed to the television, (quite sure that I had discovered a secret pop sensation transmission from Planet Amazement).
This song seems to haunt ones sensibilities. I don't get the whole tribute thing to Syd Barrett. I think Barrett honestly sticks too many notes in his songs due to the fact that his heart was racing like a rabbit, (thanks to speed and LSD). I think Barrett was a creative dynamo who wasn't built to last. No doubt he was incredibly creative. Hitchcock on the other hand was just as creative but tended to draw out his inspirations through a long string of albums...... and I enjoyed his many transmissions.... even the more subdued ones.
But this song endured and penetrated itself into my inner subconscious.
