First Day In Spring

I listened to this for the first time in about 6 years or so the other day. I had forgotten how much I liked it. I remember always wanting to get the japanese version of ASCHE just so I could have this as an album track!!

Indeed it's spring! wonderful sunny and warm weather; thanks to 'summer time' as we call it (daylight savings) i can enjoy some of it after work

And indeed a great track to listen to every once in a while; i have it on the "Little Star" single.

Is that pic (your avatar) from the EPK,Harry?

Back on topic-yes,a lovely song.What's it all about,though?
Thinks: I'll stick it on now as I work.

Yes it's from the Stina video on Youtube; I already had this video as an .mpg file but i cannot save a screenshot from that, but youtube being a website I was able to take a nice screenshot

btw, I also have the EPK video, but the sound is way out of sync

(I can never watch something like that!

)
Oh and it's with 'ie' instead of 'y', my name that is

back on the topic as well; it's got interesting lyrics and i'd also be interested on getting some more insight on that...

I thought "everyone" used VLC media player nowadays.

Give it a try, it's far superior to Microsoft's

Are the lyrics available anywhere?

The song appears to be about a murder, though I wouldn't like to transcribe the lyrics hehe

Here you go,this is what's printed on the Japanese version-

First day in spring

Lucky you, someone else was found
In the ruins of a pulled down house
While away you were watching them
For a moment it all looked so bright
Their first born child had peculiar ways
They made sure that you wouldn't have
Lucky you, 'til the body was identified
You had every chance

The first day in spring and the police were there
I had to go out for awhile
Down in the docks the ice had just broken
They were trying to remember your smile
They're restoring your alley
Putting wastebaskets on the sidewalk
Your mother confirmed it all happened quite fast
Spring was here in a day

Weirdsville.

Thanks Dave

........ but maybe not as weird as you think as the Japanese have a habit of mis-translations ......you should see how they've cocked up Virginia Astley's lyrics in the past.
