If STL is part then I feel like Tribal has to be... To me it seems like Tribal leads into STL like black-and-white Kansas leads into colorful-Oz:
TFA --
(earlier verse states)
He wandered from his
home so long ago
Drained from the day that he can\'t let go
Leaving his wife and life behind
Tattooed hands that will surely die........
He falls to his knees in the burning sand
Cradles his head in his blackened hands
Never was a dream life would
come to this
It was only just a passionate twist
Softly he sighs
He crawls through his eyes
A two second dream
On the brink of eternity
Fantasy crawls close behind
Nightmare isn\'t far behind
Wondering what, where and why
Am I on the otherside.......
>STL --
Look into the light and see
I dig it and I dig you and
I dig everything all around me
I\'m the eternal cosmic being,
flowing in an endless rainbow,
spreading peace and harmony
....yad,yada,yada.....
you catch my drift. Either Tribal is some background to how it all started and then See The Light is the transition into the next stage of his (Buquebus\') life, orrr there is no connection to the whole saga. But I definitely think these two tunes are very much connected lyrically and musically. It is very Wizard Of Oz/kind of Star Wars.
anyone agree?
I\'m actually all about this kind of shit. I love it. I could care less if it is or is not directly influenced by Gamehendge or countless other \'sagas\' or \'operas\' (just in response to the much, much earlier posts in this thread). To me it makes it that much more fun and interesting and keeps the band\'s Pen working in different more creative ways.
Tell the story Tim, I\'ll be sitting here indian-style with a carton of milk.
