Mark Drower and the Everyones: The Mirror

The Mirror by Mark Drower and the Everyones. EP: The Blaze Tape THE MIRROR I see my image is cast upon the wall I see the mirror but I don’t know what it’s for Reflected in a moment I can see all I am Passing on the light well I’m doing what I can Now I’m gonna fly high I’m gonna fly high Waves crest and crash in the rhythm of my waking Moving through the past I can feel foundations shaking Reflected on the screen I can see what might have been In others who before who had the strength to dream Now I’m gonna fly high I’m gonna fly high We want to say we love you We want to say it so We want to say we can feel you But the words they will not flow We want to say we love you We want to say it so We want to say we believe in you But the words they will not flow The words they will not The words they will not The words they will not flow I can see the people move through the tides and the times From the past to future they will sing the same old rhymes Displayed before our eyes we can see eternal plays Merging into one as time begins to say Now I’m gonna fly high I’m gonna fly high ★ Music and lyrics by Mark Drower.

Fun Facts: * The acoustic guitar in this song is tuned DADGBE. * One time George performed this song at a friend’s 21st birthday celebration to a large hall full of relatives and friends. * During the performance he had a moment of mispronunciation and sang “From the past to pilchard they will sing the same old rhymes”, which caused much hilarity and laughter among the backing singers. * The error went completely unnoticed by the relatives. * During a Flicker rehearsal that took place upstairs at The King's Arms in Ottery St Mary in 2002, this song was played at high volume to force the appearance of any astral imps that may have lurked there for the previous 20 years. * None manifested themselves. * The Mirror was the last of the four live songs performed during the play, when Everyone finds resolution through Insight and self belief. * The Mirror was subsequently played by Fooog Dinboffin and the Release, Now, Lemming Meringue, Wud and Pok the Bard.
