Thanks to everyone for listening and watching.
@spacealf, yes... that is perceptive of you and in fact I feel I misspoke when I described the song as being about "love".
I think the theme the song writer is working with is more focused on the frustrations associated with passion.
The 2 songs we worked on are an attempt to describe how a man may struggle with a feeling of passionate enthusiasm towards a recent infatuation while finding himself unable to deny an enduring love for his actual soul mate.
The silver girl is the soul mate, the red girl is the infatuation, and the confused guy ends up acting like a pathetic clown. I don't think that the band has a clear concept of how the costumes relate. They've been doing the costume performances for a decade but they are just starting to write original material for the band.
They are artists... all we get to see and hear are symptoms of their ongoing interests... what we get doesn't necessarily make sense.
It's just stuff that's out there.
The bands interest in exploring ideas is what attracted me to the opportunity to work with them. They all turned out to be remarkably thoughtful and serious people who were interested in having some fun. :-)
Good times!
Thanks again!
best regards,
