[Goldin]

You are right, Rachel!

"and now do you come back to bring your prisoner wine and bread"

I did'nt have a clue .... holydove and Roman can you pls explain what the word is(I could'nt find it) and how you found it ?
thanks

[Goldin]

Anyway, it's time for a selfish promotion of my new instagram account (with some old photos on it). I hope, there you'll find new pictures from Hydra soon (so feel free to follow)!

And now - the next question: what does the name of this account mean?

andycbtbypwab (and now do you come back to bring your prisoner wine and bread)

A word that sometimes refers to LC in his own lyrics is hidden behind one of these letters.

I finally broke into the prison
...
and it ain't exactly prison
but you'll never be forgiven
for whatever you've done
with the keys
...
It's like they tore away my blindfold,
and they said "we're gonna let this prisoner live."
...
You got me singing
Like a prisoner in a jail

[holydove]

Thanks, Roman. For the record, I didn't do the "Ctrl+F" thing to find the word; it just suddenly came to me, what those letters stood for. (Actually, when I tried to do the Ctrl+F thing afterwards, it didn't work).

Next question: There is a lyric which suggests that, within our physicality (or a function of our physicality), can be seen an image which represents an eternal truth of the universe.

[holydove]

To be more specific: The image lies concealed behind curtains of skin, & the eternal truth it represents is of a recurring, cyclical nature.

[Steven]

Hi holydove,

There's an arguably eternal truth expressed in the lines of "Anthem" that read:
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold again
the dove is never free.

The heart is concealed between layers ("curtains") of skin and it has its place in "Anthem":
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.

[holydove]

Hi Steven,

There is certainly eternal truth in Anthem & everything you said is true. But I'm thinking of something else. In the lyric I'm referring to, the narrator is compelled to move the "curtain" aside in order to see this ancient symbol which represents a universal truth. There is also an element of self-destruction in the image that he sees behind the "curtain".

Hi Rachel,

"And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
that I had to draw aside to see
the serpent eat its tail"

(I'll catch up with you later on today - running out of time now)

Hi Rachel,

"And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
that I had to draw aside to see
the serpent eat its tail"
~ Last Year’s Man

You got it, Bev!

(& catch up whenever it works for you, my dear)

Hi,

Someone in a song is, non-metaphorically speaking, "six feet under." Who will identify the song?

[B4real]

Hey Steven, are there any rules (maybe not ) to this L.C. Song Hunt?
Do you have to earn your turn to post a question by guessing the answer correctly?
Or can it be anyone who is first to post after someone else has answered the question successfully?
Is it on all occasions that a line or lines from a song and its title is asked for?
Could the individual who is posting the question vary this if they clearly explain the different situation?

It doesn’t matter to me who does what, when and how, just wanting some clarification.

[Steven]

Hi B4real,

Hadn't contemplated any rules.

I'm with you in that it doesn't matter "who does what, when and how," in regards to the thread protocol
questions you asked. Of course, there's a possibility of concurrent song hunt questions leading to
confusion. May change my mind in the future should there be too much confusion or if other problems
come into play. Thanks for asking.

[Steven]

Hi,

Here is a clue for the "six foot under" question: A song character is buried in a cemetery.
This character is a close relative of the song's protagonist.

After much lurking and thinking and struggling, I've come to the conclusion that I am not smart enough for this game!
But I soooo want to play, because I soooo miss the Picture Game!
Anyway, here is my attempt:

Why Don't You Try

[B4real]

Yes, you are clever Esther! I miss the PG very much too – and I miss your images and talking to you about them

Steven, I’ll try these lines:

Where I knew she lay waiting
Under the marble and the snow
I said, Mother I’m frightened
