Comments
- The Campbell-Stokes [1][2] consists of a glass globe which focuses sunlight onto a card behind, leaving a record (in burnmarks) of sunshine throughout the day. [DC]
Samples / Lyrics
- "a beautiful place", "an ea - gle in your mi - nd", "bye bye, bye bye bye". That last part is explained in "Whitewater" lyrics in Boc Maxima.
- At 0:24, the drums come in along with a heavy cranking sound, like big gears turning, that continues until 5:37.
Trivia
- "A Beautiful Place" may reference the Third Eye Blind song "Horror Show" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmISve9wTqw) which has the lyrics, "I'd shoot there in a second, just for the breathing space I'd put the punks on the moon, for head room mods rule the Galaxy. And that's the way, I think things should be. A Creep in you is a Creep in me. The gravity pushes down like a lie. We want wild sex but we don't want to die. We're the bait in a horror show." SR may be about how Keith Moon put goldfish in his transparent drum kit one time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPKGidTdyds) and the general fur/meat culture associated with Mods. The sunshine recorder would be the drum with water inside, and the "blinding of the third eye" of sunlight shining through the eyeball may be a reference to staring at the sun too long/Pi.
