Thanks! And lol, it is sort of true, you don't see much traditional-looking poetry around these days.
I agree about Chameleons and Interpol. In fact I believe Interpol themselves have cited them as an influence, so we may as well take their word for it!
Can definitely hear the resemblance, for sure. Just to let you know though I don't have Spotify, so I just looked it up on YT.
I am definitely going to have to expand my Chameleons knowledge. I never encountered them at all when I was younger, which is really quite weird when you think about it. Especially as I was definitely into similar stuff - the Bunnymen for an obvious example.
You're welcome! Aside from the music I adore their lyrics as well, which certainly have a sense of the poetic to them. If you like the song I presented then you will probably like their other stuff. 'Leif Erikson' has to be one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhApjF7IqoY&list=RDLhApjF7IqoY&start_radio=1
Wow, I like that one, too! 'Tis a pity, the current living situation being what it is, when I'm home (~95% of the time), I can only listen to music with headphones... though I do get to blast it during grocery/medicine runs in the car... the old lady headbanger in the Subaru. 🤣
wonderful!
rhyming and meter and everything... you don't see much of that round here these days!
Love it!
and re interpol.. i always thought they had been influenced by the chameleons a little bit. what do you think? 😀

Chameleons are cool, too, another new-to-me band (what can I say, I don't get out much).

I love the line, "...be again child and dive."
Thank you! Yeah - I like that line too, if I say so myself!
I'd never heard of Interpol before - thank you for the introduction!
