Tony – The initial backing for this very nearly got used for the ‘cat’ song ! But once Joe’s idea for Flat Cat Moan started to form it got parked. Only the lead guitar survives the original idea. The words of Midnight Dream #9 suggested a very definite bass and a deliberate driving rhythm guitar. I had written the words the previous week and had a fair idea of how they might go, they just had to wait for their turn, as we had so much going on. There are three dreamscapes here, one is ‘the girl’, two is ‘rejection’ and three is facing ‘the self’. There is no happy ending, just continuing survival…and a little hope…
Joe – I can’t argue with that – I just played along (on the guitar)
