First sorry for posting this in 2 forums, I meant to do it here, anyway

I really hate to do this Confused

, but as James Walsh is one of my fave lyricists, I want to ask fellow fans and invite you all to be beta testers and content providers for FlyingRoman.com lyric meaning and discussion and interpretation
It's a lyric site, but much much more than that. Its a user driven discussion of lyrics as poetry. The music itself it asked to be ignored, we are discussing the ltrical content. Please visit and add some titles and some posts with yur thoughts on the content. I should say this is a not for profit venture and entirely community driven in the spirit of the internet.

THANKS!!! Very Happy

Scott Prelewicz

No mate, I'm far too stupid to have my own site !!! Laughing

Here's a website link to one of the best lyricists I know -

Dave Couse (from his days with a band called A House, sadly defunct, but he's now solo)

I don't know if you need permission to put them on your site, give it a look anyway Cool

Nice site, Scott. I enjoyed it. Smile

Have you ever seen Beautiful South live?
I've seen them a couple of times. They're some of the best gigs I've been to.

As far as website development/design/programming, you're way ahead of me. I'm planning to finally submit and take some web design classes in the New Year. You know, HTML, Flash, Dreamweaver, whatever. I know a little ImageReady though.

Well, good luck. Have a nice weekend.

Thanks tralac! (I can't wait til Im a SSMB God' How many posts do you need for that status?

It's cool you went there. I posted my comments on 'Alcoholic' and would love to know what you thought, if I was way off or whatever.

Alcoholic is my fave song I think, but couldn't explain why. I don't know which version either, they all seem to work in their own way.

I'm weary of writing down what I think a song's lyrics mean. There's too much emotion involved, for me anyway. It means so many things, it transports your mind in so many different ways. It's hard for me to put it down.

I think your interpretation is good, it's not way off at all. I liked that you picked up on his wanting to offer protection.

Oh well, that's it for now. Maybe I'll do better next time. Smile

Thats interesting, trelac. i'm glad you don't think Im off, i didn't go into much detail, but I will eventually.

About personal, that's actually exactly what the site is intended for. Of course, no one can make you express your darkest feelings to strangers living all over the world, but I'd like flyingroman.com to become that sort of community. That's the major reason why we don't require users the register. You can use a different name every time if you want and nobody will be able to pinpoint who it is expressing. Me, on the other hand have always worn my heart on my sleeve and my life has always been an open book, so i use my full name Smile

Yeah, I know, you're near Niagara Falls, right?

I'm in beautiful Westchester County, just north of NYC.

sizemore · Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2004 10:46 pm Post subject:

That is correct, actuall pretty much exactly half way 'tween Buffalo and the Falls.

Westchester County is very nice! I've been the a few time, but for brief visits.
