"Time" not only has a hauntingly dissonant melody, but addresses the difficulty of having to move on from people and places you loved.
Goodbye my love Maybe for forever Goodbye my love The tide waits for me
"Shadow Of A Lonely Man", the last track on Pyramid, inspired by the death of Eric Woolfson's father-in-law, is particularly depressing.
But I cling to a hope, till I can't hold on anymore, And for all the acclaim, I am all alone, and I see as I look through the door, The shadow of a lonely man, there's nobody else; In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man, I can see myself.
"If I Could Change Your Mind" from Eve is this as well, due in no small measure to Lesley Duncan's haunting lead vocal.
"Limelight" from Stereotomy is an incredibly melancholy song about a musician's relationship to fame, sung by Gary Brooker of Procol Harum, who delivers a heart-wrenching rendition of the lyrics.
