Hi Demo-Decoders,

couldn't resist posting some of my thoughts:
[all quotes from Wieland's reply to Emmy, Esther and Violet]

- Dali

If it's a song about Dali, it might have surrealistic lyrics :-)

> > "High, I can't see you

yes, i'd vote for Violet's version too.
(Re Bryan: Mr. Dali would be "Senor Dali")

This Cecily picture is missing in my (very incomplete) Dali book, but in his 
paintings women often have the face of his wife, Gala.

btw, do you think Kate likes Dali? with all the burning giraffes?  ;-)

How about: "It's calling me with a menacing whisper of
            magical word(s), enchanting me" ?

Yes, it sounds like a tea cup. It's different from the other 'switch' sounds,
and the turn-off sound itself is after this rattle, I think.


- Lionhearts

The more I listen to this line, the less I'm sure about it:

You fall for all the men
  You shouldn't fall for one at all,     or
  You shouldn't fall for all at all,     or just
  You shouldn't fall fo-or at all


- The Craft Of Love

Listen to the "Ooooh Ooh Ooh" at the end of the song. At 2:38 and 2:43 there
seem to be some resonances of a glass - or a cup of tea? Or she hits the
frequency of a piano string.


- New Song:

surely the release will be delayed, they don't want it to get lost in
the pre-Easter maelstrom  ;-)
