Steve VanDevender: While _TKI_ is indeed great make-out music, there's just something baout Never For Ever which makes it a notch superior in that category. It's inexplicable. Jeff Burka: Fix the word "rape" in your mind, then go listen to "Get Out Of My House" and see if it's any clearer... /j/ "someone somewhere wake me up!" - revolting cocks

Nope, I don't see it... This house is full of m-m-my mess This house is full of m-m-mistakes This house is full of m-m-madness This house is full of, full of, full of fight Heart or mind seems to me to be the object here. I wash the panes I clean the stains away Crying, but only if we are talking about her mind, or soul if you prefer. Man: Woman, let me in Let me bring in the memories Woman, let me in Let me bring in the Devil Dreams If there is a rape here it is a mental one. Personally, I don't believe the woman comes off well enough or the man bad enough for it to be a rape. It looks to me more like a song about a woman who is trying to forget her past confronted with something or someone which threightens to bring it back. -- rjc@cstr.ed.ac.uk _O_ |<

I thought it had been pretty well established that the track was inspired by or somehow related to the movie "The Shining." The concierge and all that stuff... a ghost in the house, etc. I wish I could quote a reference; it has come up here before. A quick TD question. Since the album was mixed to digital, is it reasonable to assume that the US and UK masterings sound (nearly?) identical? I finally got a UK HoL, and the difference is pretty obvious in places (e.g., beginning of "Mother Stands for Comfort"), although as IED pointed out, there's still a lot of tape hiss in various places. Has anyone compared the two TD masterings? -- Larry Spence larry@csccat.cs.com ...{uunet,texsun,cs.utexas.edu,decwrl}!csccat!larry
