It looks likely that the scope of the idea is probably going to run to 3 records now in which biographical stuff will now increasingly be more flashback. The biographical notes are interjections in the bigger but relative body of reflective work, and they are not necessarily in chronological order. I realized before I started to write the record that it was likely to become a big project. I sometimes think that it's the odd track on the record, particularly the first part, but that's another story. The oldest work on the record is 'Songs Of Love' and in some ways that shows. The prospective title changed from 'The Seven Ages Of Man' to 'Songs Of Love' and then to 'thedreamsociety'. By '97 I was resurfacing and beginning to get the right kind of inspirations again. In '95 I spent some time in India and I think that that had a great effect on me. There was a danger that the outcome would be far too dark. I could have turned up for work if I'd been managing the all night cafe, but I knew that it was not going to be the most positive time in my life to write songs. I had been through a long grieving process between 1992 and c.1996. 'thedreamsociety' was written after a long self-imposed retreat from gigging, writing and recording.
