hey all
was just thinking.. anyone has any idea why 'mid-life krysis' is spelt the way it is?
has it got anything to do Nora - just a guess (in which case it's smth pretty personal isn't it). hmmm.
ideas anyone?
some research. On google, a search for "krysis -travis" yields 29800 results. from the look of it most are like usernames for flickr, myspace etc.
a very random question isnt it. haha. |

there's an interview with Dougie and Fran where they talk about every single song on 12 Memories. I believe to remember that it was actually how they thought it should be spelled - I mean by the sound of it. :)
I think Nora was not too fond of this song -
but I love it :) |

| If I remember right,Nora didnt like the song so Fran changed the spelling to be more like her surname. |

I learn something new every day on here! :)
Great song, one of my favourites on 12 Memories. It isn't Re-Offender or Love Will Come Through, but it's a great song. :) |

I just found the interview. It's in the archive - where Fran and Dougie explain the spelling and every other curiosity about the songs on 12 Memories.
You'll find it on the archive-page.
It's: BBC Radio 1 Interview about 12 Memories (2003) |

| Cool, I would never have guessed that! This leaves only one question: Who has the surname 'Luv'? :P |
