From Brilliant Trees through Died In The Wool...

The last days of December

Postby Blemished on Mon May 23, 2011 12:29 pm

While the inevitable wait for delivery from Samadhi begins, I'm finding it hard not to be tempted by a few of the tracks now available from iTunes.

I'm just listening to 'The last days of December', which has a very bleak beauty (and is sung wonderfully) - not a million miles from the SOTB string-sound but much, much darker. It seems to be a song about suicide. I just wondered if anyone else thought it might be a reference to Sylvia Plath? It just struck me that the song might be written from the point of view of Ted Hughes, particularly given the Taw Head references on the album. Sylvia Plath stuffed towels under the door before gassing herself.

Cheery stuff, but there you go. This really does seem to be David's 'poetry' album.

It's funny that iTunes have classed it as "Pop" as the genre type. "When We Return..." - pop???
