But you already have Rob. Song for Europe, Mother of Pearl and IEDH has Puxley all over them. Bryan just needs another lyrical muse. Another Edith Sitwell to his Cole Porter (as it has been put). Otherwise you end up with this: Serenade she stands - -a monument on this horizon only the sum breaks behind her running along stiff boards stained and shining Brilliant. Her box can lure When primaries come first on the hard pack begging at each breath to consume. In clothes she walks the middle way - but very little to detect. (confound) Never taking off To soar aloft - - only choking on the ground. She'll never make Havana sound or smell or taste the same, she's on her own so fair and sweet that pure Virginia Plain. Still using 'serenade' and 'Havana sound' I see. I would hate to see Bryan suffocated by his modern day literary self doubt. He holds very lofty idols (Donne, T S Elliot), big acts to live up to. I would welcome anything (and anyone) that can help Bryan tap into his undoubted lyrical mastery again. The last word (literally) would stop with him anyway, so it would always 'feel' like Ferry. He has a number of very talented writer friends (even amongst ex in-laws), surely there must be one he can trust enough to collaborate with at draft stage? BTW, fascinated by Dani Boy's answer. We English as a first languagers seem to forget that others can come to Roxy on a purely phonetic level and get as much from it on first hearing as we can. Can't say San Plan Pour Moi got me the same way, but I bet there's a bunch of you got the gist of Je T'aime (Moi Non Plus) without speaking French?
