about

Was thinking about how each time you remember something, you're really just remembering the memory of the last time you remembered that thing. That got me thinking about remembering photographs of memories, instead of the memories themselves, and then remembering memories of photographs, everything fading a little further with each iteration. I imagine that's how we end life, with everything eventually just fading into the white.

lyrics

Soldier’s Honour (Lee/Dunbar)

Remembering those memories
Of photographs and dreams from some other day
They’re all gone, they’re all gone
There’s nothing left behind these whispering eyes

All that you can do
Is laugh about it
When there’s nothing left
To cry about
The memory fades away oh yeah
But you never love
Anybody else.

Love strays and your hair grays
Soon you find the days
Have fallen behind you
All gon, they’re all gone
You wander through a maze
With no one to find you

‘Til all that you can do
Is laugh about it
When there’s nothing left
To cry about
The memory fades away oh yeah
But you never love
Anybody else

and on that sunny day, she went away and never came again
Nothing else remains but a photograph
You’re far too gone to cry
But you can laugh
The memory fades but ahhh…

A soldier’s honour
It’s like an armour for the fight
He’ll win every night
To remember a love
That withered and died before
The second World War

The less you know about this band, the better. Rumor has it that they're very bad people, paranoid, misanthropic, frequently given to melancholy and intellectual dullards to boot. Stories of vicious infighting and naughtiness follow them like a black cloud, and the threat of immediate collapse is constant. Fortunately they look cool. ... more
