Been wanting to do this for quite some time,decided today would be a good time.
A long while back,I made up a CD of many of my personnel "favorites".Of the twenty or so on this compilation,I discovered something that I had never noticed before in a couple of songs that I was "working on".
One of My alltimeoltime favorites,"Circle of Steel,and a more recent favorite "Painter Passing Through"...
There is "something"?? that these song's have very much in common,and I must admit that I was a bit astounded that I never captured this before.After going to a few show's this year,I think I may have "figured it out",the simalarity that is,......
Anyone else ever pick up on this "connection" between the old and the new????need a clue????

Lyrical or musical?

I'm listening to them in my head and I find no similarity or commonly shared theme. :confused:

If you find out,let us know! :)

It is in the lyrics,in a way, David..
You will have to listen to the songs Borderstone,unless you have a phonographic memory of some kind...

Well, the time reference is what shows up for me. In Painter... "once upon a time.." and in Circle..."a week, a day, ...." etc. Obviously, there are more references in the songs I have not noted. Is that the connection you perceived?

This is a little wild but here goes: "Circle of Steel" is a great example of the vocation GL describes in "A Painter". Who else but a painter would notice "high windows flickering down through the snow" or the way "the sun hits the handle on her heirloom cup", and who else but one "passing through the underground" would stop to notice the tenement moments depicted in "Circle"?

Ah,Glenmark! :) Now I get the connection and i don't think that's "so" wild at all. that makes absolutely perfect sense. Thank you. :)

This just might get a bit interesting.Though the similarity is related to the lyrics,it has nothing to do with any hidden messages or meanings or words.The answer,though a bit elusive,will be found through the ear.
One more clue:In CoC and PPT-elusive,in the song Cold on the Shoulder-quite evident....
