The scratching of a Mellotron...

The scratching of a Mellotron...

2005-06-11 by zappaboggs

it always seems to make her cry...
Ok.. For folks who hate, love, or don't know about Prorcpine Tree, what exactly is this song about?
Through experience, it takes 8 listens before you realise...
1) I'm not quite sure if she crys because somebody dragged their car keys across it?
2) Medeski got a hold of the flywheel?
3) This is truly an outtake of "A Trick of the Tale" recording..
The key is it takes 8 listenings...
Why? ... I don't know...
Boggs.. (soon to be #310.. Thanks Jerry/Bernie)

Well, it's obvious that... "he's OK and ready to play... BEAT THE  REAPER..."
