about

Point of Interest: 'Quid (Looking At Life)' is the third song in the Quid song trilogy.

'Looking at Life' was the essay title of Rachel's G.C.S.E Art exam, and the song relates to the time when Rachel walked out of the afore mentioned examination.

Sam's 'manic laughs' produced a domino effect of laughter from Rachel and Chris Davison (sound engineer) and back to Sam again.

A few minutes after the song's ending there is a brief excerpt of an old, early home recording of 'Quid' in which you can just about make out the different parts that occur in separate sections of The Quid song trilogy. This is then followed by a few lines taken from a home recording of Sinead O Connor's 'In this heart' - played backwards.

Ophelia' alludes to the Pre-Raphaelite painting by John Everett Millais.

lyrics

"I'm in that room again. Her head is on my wall. The heat is unbearable. The sadness of the cleansing time. Just like Ophelia. She's holds her hand to the skeleton. Seduced by death, she leaves her knife by the side. Look at her running away. Just like Ophelia. I've rolled up my sleeves and tied my hair back. But I'm soaking and it's no good. And I wear my heart on it too much. Just like Ophelia. See my last second of life."

"What You Are" is really a killer song, with its thunder-rolling chorus, tension and explosive guitar solo. The singer's voice and guitar chops rival those of the early Matt Bellamy." - Online Source less
