…and there’s a blog entry, too.
John has posted a new blog entry, after a 40-ish day break and he’s talking about the possible interpretations of the meaning of The Empyrean, dismissing them all as more or less wrong, as it is incomprehensible to someone other than him, yet, in some way, every person with an open mind can find their own meaning in the albums’ lyrics.
This excerpt is interesting, in particular:
While I could explain the story as I see it,that would detract from the potential multifarious meanings that will come about from people applying their own sense of feeling from their life experience, much as they always do.
So, to read some lyrics excerpts (Or is it a poem? Can someone who has heard the album in advance clarify it?) and the whole insight into the creation process, head over to JF.com. Personally, I advise you to revisit the second to last question on the MusicRadar podcast after reading it; as it might make more sense.
