Переглядів 80 тис.Рік тому
Arguably, 'The Riddle', released in 1984 from the album of the same name, provoked much debate in the 80's about the meaning of the track. Years later, Nik came clean "In short, 'The Riddle' is nonsense, rubbish, bollocks, the confused ramblings of an 80s popstar." Coinciding with the release of 'EI8HT' in 2012, the final show of the corresponding tour, at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on the 28th...

    I loved this since I first heard it come out on the late night Video Rock show. This song is still perfect and the video still matches the vibe of the space visitor who absorbs and reflects the traumas of everyone he meets until it drives him to flee. I always hoped it meant he’s returned home at the end.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. Something that inspires and is not too dependent on themes like attachment or love or companionship but industry. I would not be surprised if this song is used in the future for something like actual space exploration flights or interplanetary missions by SpaceX or some other entity. Infact please do a lyrical video with new discoveries in celestial bodies and photos of deep space by the new James Webb telescope. Can be used as an educational tool for schoolchildren and adults alike.

    Einstein's time dilation means the moving train slows down. But Newton's classical relativity says light reflected by a slower train still speeds up. So if you say there is time dilation because of clock experiment results there must be another explanation than Einstein's.

What great songs they still write today... ❤
