I'm having another night in with "All Days Are Nights", which I came back to listening to tonight after reading some Shakespeare sonnets online, three of which are of course set to music on this album.
SONNET 43

When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me. Explains the winking images projected behind him in the live gig. Heh. Never really thought much about the words to be honest, as I don't think the sonnets are the strongest parts of the album at all. In fact, I think they're the weaker middle in a strong album.


Still think this is perhaps the strongest though.
