My ex grew up in Richmond, right under the Nylex sign with the clock and temp readout. Well, the silo (it contained malt or other grain for beer) was about 100 metres away. Brings back lots and lots of memories, some good, some not so good. The "hill" must be the Punt Road hill. |

@[AAPCounsel:736] I think it's more than just prison. Prison amplifies the loneliness; he obviously can't ring them on the 25th, as it's the 21st, and he's forecasting what they'll be doing. A soldier or sailor far from home, will relate to these lyrics too. It's the separation. |

I have family interstate, that can't be with me at Christmas...this song typifies that sense of distance, the prison theme heightens it incredibly well. The power of this song, for me, lies in the evocative lyrics and how they perfectly match the plaintive and sad tone of the music. The instrumental fits the wording, in pace and structure. Why is he in prison? A clue is a reference to dancing to "Junior Murvin" songs. Never heard of him, and 2 minutes on google revealed that he is a reggae artist, whose first album is called "Police and Thieves" ! I love how a songwriter can bury something in another layer of a song, in such a subtle way. |
