I wrote this song for a concert in my school when I was in 6th year. I decided to take an abstract painting and just write what I saw. The painting is "The Painter and his Model" by Pablo Picasso. It was a song that just wrote itself, it came together within an hour, there's no experience like it. This is why I found the poem I feature at the end appropriate, it's Philip Larkin's "The Whitsun Weddings", an account of an experience he describes as being aimed like a bullet. The 123 is my bus, yup Marino.
