The simple fact that I do not possess any of the unmentionables you fear for,
(and therefor I cannot even begin to imagine what part those unmentionables
play in listening to music) prohibits me from feeling so intensely paranoid.
However, I can understand ex-girlfriends having such hopeful thoughts.

Ah, but you forget titles like 'The Optimist' and my favourite: 'I believe in a
love I may never know' ... that's where the longing comes in.

Nah. Everybody has experienced it ... if only they would allow themselves to
express it, instead of doing what the one before last trackname says 'inside I
am crying' ...
I'd like to hear what kind of feelings are kindled by his latest effort 'no-one
in the world' ... the combination of melancholic lyrics and hard driving beats
wipes me out. But instead of falling into the void ... it makes me want to
climb the nearest mountain. Fight the battle for your own life.
Erhmmm ... sorry guys. Id think I'd better get back to hyping Jega. So much
more soothing for the mind.
