Love this tune, really catchy - it deserves a thread.

The wind kicks up with the smell of rain
The kids are gone but the souls remain

To me, the lyrics are always a little frightening, I can't tell why. Though I like the music...

Moni.

Creepy imagery, I agree. Intentional, I'm sure. What is it about dolls and clowns that disturbs people?

Once when I was in a university class, we were talking about something one day - it was a really vague concept and I can only really vaguely remember what it was about. But I remember thinking about it and then saying in class that this musical artist named Suzanne Vega did what we were talking about, but in the reverse way of what we were talking about, and it was in her song "As A Child".

I remember that the lines that were most illustrative of the concept were:
"Pick up a sitck dig up a crack
Dirt in the street becomes a town
All of the people depend on you
Not to hurt them or bang the stick down"
and I think it had something to do with imagining a universe in a microcosm way and how that's supposed to mature you, but perhaps we were talking about how adults do it in a childlike (or childISH way, depending upon whether it was done in a good or bad way), but I said that with Suzanne it was done as a child looking forward to the future and the responsibility that comes with governance. I'm not sure, but I think that's what we were talking about.

Or maybe somebody with phenomenal intuition can tell me what we were really talking about and what I really said - ?
