Kodachrome Ghosts

Does anybody know what this song is all about? Somebody told me it was penned by John Niven? Is this true?

There's some speculation on it here but other than that I don't have much information.

I wish there were more information in general about James' b-sides--has he ever talked about them in interviews?

pretty sure its another tribute by James to his mother...the lines '1980's christmas day, you were younger than i am today....' and 'my mind is full of all things i never said to you/promises i didn't think to make' make it a very touching and personal song.
