These choruses are just pure melody. Glorious.
“Self-made and self-realised”, I think.

And I think it’s “In eternity”, as per the song title.

But I agree, I think the whole album has fantastic lyrics tbh. Great individually, but even better with all the overlapping themes, words and phrases across the album. For example, raven pointed out to me in the lyrics thread the line “Dark is a way/light is a place” is from a Dylan Thomas poem, and whaddyaknow, there’s a song about Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin. Then there’s also the line about going from L.A. To Berlin, whereas in Dylan & Caitlin there the reference to going to America from Europe, i.e. the opposite direction.

Generally, I think the more you listen to this album, the more you notice, in every way. It’s really great, and I can’t wait to get my vinyls and CDs next week.

I’d have thought that dark would be a place and light would be a way.

DT was a moody fella.

I have watched the lyric videos in sequence as best as they can with the album. And it sounds like it'll be a good listen! Distant Colours now clicked with me.

The beautiful, incredible and fantastic people give in, in the part of the chorus remind me a lot the song What΄s this life for of creed. In the part of the final with the acoustic guitar, it΄s beautiful too.

I've not heard the full album yet, but I really want to hear the full version of People Give In - from the small video clip it sounds a like a beautiful little track!

Just clarified the single/LP situation and it appears that the 7" single can't be sold without the white LP, so that's all it is.
