I have a question, and I thought it was appropriate to ask it hear.
In the Live version of this song, sometimes Bianca (Coco) sings "Oh Simon..." Following the line - 'Calling out his name'
Now, when I heard her say 'Oh Simon...' I immediately thought back to their other song, "Summer Breeze", where in the live version of this song, she sometimes also adds the name at the beginning - 'Simon, my brother, the first man I loved Or should I say he loved me'. This made me question who Simon is exactly... and whether what the lyrics mention in "Summer Breeze" is what happened between her and Simon, her brother... I don't know, can someone help clarify whether Simon and the events based around him are real,or whether he is rather a personification or made-up character for thematic symbolism...?
