Count me in. I think it's got Richie stamped all over it. ('Course, most ppl believe that I think everything's about Richie. Not true.)



As soon as I heard the snippet, I sent the lyrics to a friend and said, "Looks like somebody's still living with a ghost."


I LIKE this song. The intro's got a strong TWTWMM vibe, and that was one of my favorites from WAN. I love the way there seems to be a thread that runs through the lyrics that Jon and Richie write, together or on their own, or with others. These lyrics touch on a lot of previous songs. The title, if nothing else, brings up WWWB. The line "Love meant more than lust" recalls Reunion's "For some love comes disguised as lust; but you'll find love when you find trust one day." "Memories are nothing more than ghosts that we let in" and "Those days weren't meant to last forever" both touch on LWTG, which in turn, seemed to me like a response to Richie's 'Takin' a Chance on the Wind': "If time's taught me a lesson, it's don't dwell on the past. 'Cause the bad things fade and the good things are built to last."

I know there are some people who think the same phrases keep cropping up just because they're too lazy to think of new ways to say things; but I disagree. It's one of the things I absolutely love in 'Room at the End of the World'. I think it's cool the way each phrase hits on a different song. It's like a trip down memory lane through their catalogue.
