This is the penultimate Corky Album posting. Or, I guess I should say it's the penultimate song, but there're 2 songs after this one cuz one of them'll be the backwards version. Then I'll start posting more general songs. This song's unusual in that it's not narrated by any of the characters. It's more of an omnipresent observer commenting on stuff. I think this'd be the song in the closing credits if this here rock opera thingy ever got made into a thing that'd have closing credits. Yeah, I think that's about right - this is a closing credits song.
For anyone new to this blog, the album I'm discussing is based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.
