Your work is very interesting and really enjoyable to read, well done you ! I need to read it all slowly but the bits I picked out on my first scan was 12 memories. I love the detail throughout , especially the bits I did not know , thanks for these.
Your commitment is inspirational :) Take a bow :) |

One correction would be that Selfish Jean was one of the last songs written for The Boy With No Name. Closer was penned in New York in December 2005 I think. Maybe you get these two songs the wrong way round. Anyways wow... cool.
Oh...and to even hint at giving Coldplay credit for our change of direction is a terrible sin ;)
Great work.
Hey Fran, thanks for reading it! (I worried a little if a work like this would honur or just annoy the object of discussion, but it doesn't seem to be the latter at least, so I'm quite relieved.)
It feels kind of useless to argue with the artist himself about his songs, but as others have said here, you did play Closer several times in summer 2005. I remember listening to an mp3 of it back then as well. As for Selfish Jean, I didn't have that much background information to go on, and I've probably made some kind of mistake. I'll have to get back to my sources and check what went wrong.
(And of course I know that you're much more independent-minded than to just try and fit in neatly next to all other bands around.)
Again, huge thanks for taking your time and reading it! And thanks for commenting here as well, we'll hopefully have an improved version out soon. (And I'll try to choose something meaningful to do in my life. As for now, I have no idea.) |

GREAT work! Congratulations!
See, we should collaborate for my future Travis documentary, tee hee ;-)
No, I've always been a bit of a lurker, I suppose. Trying not to draw too much attention to myself, sometimes failing a little though...
Thanks, and I really hope you'll enjoy it now!
Just contact me for your documentary and I'll be right behind you! (Are you seriously thinking about making a documentary or am I just fooling myself here?) |

We lurkers should have some kind of a sign on our profiles to let each other know we are actually lurking not away. he hee
No, no, no you are not fooling yourself!! I am serious but I need time. I will write you about this later. It is a dream for me and would be ace being teamed with you. :-) |

I wish I had a fax machine :)
And to have the foundation of a fanbase, that's so cool! Anyways, you should have thanks for reading it as well.
I won't tell Fran to go anywhere unless he comes to Sweden first! ;) |

Cool! That sounds really exciting. I'd love to hear more about how/what you're intending to do (but I'm not gonna try to force anything out of you now unless you actually do have some plans you'd want to share). As I said, I'd love to contribute with whatever I might be able to do.
