The music to the song is so positive, it's hard to ignore. But, then again Very Fine Funeral is a kickin' blue grass song about death. I think I'm leaning to the negative side for Bookends because of the line about "They say they can talk about anything unlike so many others they know". It seems like the two characters view themselves above the possibility of divorce even though statistics prove otherwise ("3 out of 5 end in divorce"). It seems like they are pretending that everything is just fine, but the "whispering ghosts in the downstairs room" sound like the beginning of some latent fear/quarrel/dislike. Just my thoughts. - -Dave - -----Original Message----- From: Jess.

Also Maylee, I Had A Dream. And Irish Dream sounds like it's a dumping song. I don't know about Bookends. You really can read it either way, can't you? Maybe it's both--a solid, good marraige that currently happens to be in a rut. - --nicole twn *** "The candles burn down... one lights the way, one disappears."--Moxy Fruvous Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn nmcarlson@ucdavis.edu ana.ng@tmbg.org ncarlson@mail.arc.nasa.gov ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 13:00:35 -0600 From: Dave Read Subject: dysfunctional songs Really? Imagine Me is a "dysfunctional" song? I never spent a whole lot of time dissecting the song, but I always thought it was about a harmonica. - -Dave ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 11:07:31 -0800 (PST) From: "Jess." Subject: Re: EFO: Re: One I've _always_ thought that Imagine me is a love song and not dysfunctional at all. Bookends seems to me to be about a dysfunctional couple mainly becuase of ht eline "spaces in between". It seems that these two have come together to fill the void between them, but that a relationship can not be based on that so the spaces remain. As for your list ... those would be the songs I was thinking of ... but I don't carry my CDS around campus, so they weren't readily on hand. Now, nicole, if you would come down here and help with my computer, we may get somewhere. ;) (just trying to get you in my neck of the woods.)
