No Picture Jimmy Lead Player	#1 by Jimmy Chezz at Jan 21, 1978 at 4:08 AM EST
	hey i cant believe nobody has commented bout this song, it rocks. at first i thought this song was about his perfect scene with some chick but then i sorta read more and i thought it might be about him and his love for music.

No Picture Kyle Average	#2 by Kyle Landers at Nov 17, 1979 at 4:34 AM EST
	I had a difficult time gettin a meaning on this song, but I was about it and read heartbeats post and clearly shows hes right, I fully agree with you now that Ive read your post.. thanks. DB

No Picture Frost Wanna Be	#3 by Frost Bite at Jun 9, 2007 at 2:20 PM EST
	I gather something like this: The narrator/subject is an accomplished musician by trade, and also has a romantic interest. He runs into the conflict of being pulled in two directions, not enough time to keep his relationship steady while devoting the necessary passion for his work. Eventually, his opinion of music in particular starts to get a little warped. On one hand, it's the reason things aren't working out with his other great love. On the other, while relationships are unsteady and hard to control, he is the God and master of his craft. In that realm, at least, he can do anything he wants. He can "change one note and make you cry." Even still, he doesn't love it anymore, as both facets of his life are collapsing around him, so all he has left is that twisted sense of control. As a side note, the studio version has a single, completely flubbed low note right after "Or a Gravenimage of me?" before the actual melody picks up again. It really stands out, and I think it's there to illustrate what I just said, the lost passion but the warped attachment to the sense of control. "I can change one note and make you cry," indeed. I conclude with this: "If I found the hidden fountain, Drank the wisdom from its deep, Would I have the time to save me? Would I have them both to keep?" If I could somehow magically obtain [either infinite wisdom or infinite time, as in the fountain of youth,] would I be able to hold on to both music and the person, not be torn until I end up losing both?
