Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jesse Wanna Be	#1 by Jesse Seibel at Mar 13, 1979 at 5:18 AM EST
	Let me enlighten you:) The song is about Cassandra, a woman the Greek god Apollo fell in love with. He asked her to marry him but she denied. She told him that she would marry him only if he gave her the gift of foresight... Apollo was so in love that he agreed and gave her the gift. But Cassandra didn't keep her promise and denied him once again ("She belied her own words..."). Apollo asked her if he could at least kiss her and when they came close to kiss, Apollo spit in her mouth and cursed her so that even though she had the gift of foresight, noone would believe her words ("Yet the kiss and breath - Apollo's bane -"). Cassandra was the woman who tried to warn the people of Troy about the trojan horse, but of course noone believed her.:) I hope this helps!

No Picture Jaime Average	#2 by Jaime at Aug 30, 1980 at 7:40 AM EST
	No wonder no-one says nothing of what it means... At least to me the words in themselves are mysteries... I need my dictionnary for every second word. Though, I'm going to understand it, some day. Is it as hard to understand for a native English speaking person?
