| No matter How tragic the loss So I just wistfully clicked on my link to Jim's blog, shocked to see that his last posting was a ghastly 9 months ago, and I wound up re-reading his lyrics to "The Devil's Playground," and was surprised to find them much more striking and poignant than I remembered them being the first go-round. Anyway, Jim uses his "Paradise Lost" chorus in it, as he makes it a point to mention, and I had this thought: TDP is a song for Hook who, I assume, is a villain (somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that). Now, the PL chorus seems tailored to a heroic character, UNLESS Hook is just very twisted, which could make for a very cool moment, some sadistic bad guy waxing misunderstood and lamenting that he failed in the Good Fight (which I guess most people would perceive as the Bad Fight? I mean, really, what Paradise does Hook perceive that he fought for, only to come up an inch shy of the G-spot?) Can any of you Neverland historians shed some light on potential motivation for Hook here? "No matter How heavy the cost To this very day I can stand tall and say: I fought for Paradise But Paradise lost I fought for Paradise And Paradise lost. It wasn’t your fault or mine Wasn’t this it wasn’t that But Paradise lost In the final at bat Paradise lost In the last at bat." | |
