Secrets and codes...

It's been pointed out that the under-lyrics to some of the 'Archetype Cafe' songs are not published on the website songbook. They aren't in the sleeve notes either, because I'm tricksy that way.

I've always had a fascination for secrets and codes. Did anyone else set up secret societies as a child? Repeatedly? Aligned to whatever was the current infatuation or best-beloved book? and as for codes, well, I'm not terribly good at solving them, but the idea of them appeals to me. I like layers in things. I adore the celestial geometry of the 'Holy Blood and the Holy Grail' sort, and yes, the Da Vinci codes was a romp. Remember, I devoured Kit Williams' glorious and utterly perfect 'Masquerade' at a very formative age. I hold fast the memory of performing my  'Jack Hare' to Kit himself at his studio once. And 'Templar Gold' comes out of that set of ideas as well.

Is it any wonder I hide words underneath other words? When, after all, are we ever really only saying one thing at a time?

We should expect cryptograms in the next album then?

Believe me, it's been considered...

When I was younger, I used to enjoy secret codes and such, trying to devise my own alphabets and what not.

But hiding words under words; that I don't do. Usually I try and put the hidden meaning into the song itself.

Ah! Alphabets! Yes, everyone should have one.

And - hello, friends! (waves cheerily to Vaurien, Filkerdave, and CrazyCajun)

I suppose if the law of unintended consequences can be stated as "You can't do just one thing," some law of semiotics could be stated as "You can't say just one thing either."

Also: hi. :)

I'd go along with that!

And Hi yourself! Nice to see you here!

Mmm... and you do it so well that one can never be remotely certain to have entirely grasped your meanings... :)
