I've been listening 12 Memories a lot these days (redisconvering it) and I have to say I'm a little puzzled about the meaning of that song. It's so sad and straightforward at the same time.

Any clues? I have some theories but perhaps the more experienced boradies have "la posta" (como diríamos en Argentina) or the truth : )

Im sure that the song is about Frans relationship with his absent father. With the meaning of the line " I dont wanna see your face at my door, And i'll never leave like you, thats for sure", meaning he wont do what his dad did to his own offspring.

Paperclips is a great song! It's so bare and stripped down it really shows off Fran's amazing vocal performance on it

Yes, I think the same you do. At least I feel it that way because I had a terrible relationship (if we can call it like that...) with my absolutely absent father, so that song goes directly to my heart :o(. The first time I heard it I actually cried, but since that issue is not anymore an issue I rather enjoy this brilliant song :o).

I agree 12 Memories is great album :o).
