Bend And Break - [Regarding "the other side" and "white light" references] "in
bend and break that phrase is more about getting through a really dark state of
mind and emerging into brighter, happier times. the old saying 'the darkest
hour is just before the dawn' is very true and potent i think. people often say
that with proper depression, things can seem unbearably awful as your thoughts
run around each other in the dark of the night but when the sun rises you can
get more perspective and see things in a more hopeful way. see patrick
humphries' book on nick drake for his thoughts on how this phenomenon affected
that great songwriter. anyway for me i've always loved the mornings...the day
is new and full of possibilities. the song reminds me of when i was young and
in the mornings i'd phone tom or richard or other friends and we'd make plans
to meet up in town or play football or whatever. i still feel the same
way...for example i alway write songs best early in the morning. " - Tim -
