Yes Iceman, the song is JUST about writing a song. I have rethought it and looked over the lyrics again. I was wrong.
The possibility that perhaps it is connected in some way to the title of the album, the songs on the album (and the demos), and certain mindset of a 'generation' (which jon has mentioned in his black cloud speeches) has absolutely no relevence here whatsoever.
Albums have no vision. And Jon and the band (and any good band) do not choose very specifically the songs that will and will not be on an album based upon whether they fit into the mindset of the album. Keeping a track on or ditching it is purely a roll of the dice because this is just not the way of an artist.
You are right.
I am a fool
Now is the winter of your discontent, Mr. Iceman. Deformed by disembling nature, mayhaps?...Scarce half made up...
Iceman,
Methinks thou spurns me.
HA
Love,
B
