Enola/Alone
Further Away No surface all feeling Nobody loved you I live to fall asleep Cardiff afterlife Your love alone Autumnsong Askew Road You're tender and you're tired You stole the sun....

 No, really. It's too easy to see Richey references EVERYWHERE without even wanting to, so I think it's better not to look for them. Last edited by oxygen; 13-04-2010 at 10:28.

Would've thought Firefight would be more to do with James' mum than Richey. But then it could just be referring to all the people in their lives who are no longer there any more like Phillip Hall etc.

 Yeah, I don't think that "Firefight" is about *just* Richey specifically. I think most of raven's choices up there are on-target, definitely "Sepia" too! I've never thought of "Tsunami" as being Richey-related, though some people on SongMeanings seem to think so.I've also wondered about the use of "void" in the lyrics a few times on songs on TIMTTMY ("The Everlasting": "To end the void with all its force", "My Little Empire": "All of my sins are attempts to fill the voids", "You're Tender and You're Tired": "Rebuild the void with flowers") and whether it is a reference to the gap that Richey's disappearance left, it seems purposeful at any rate for an odd sort of word to come up over and over (only previous time was "Our lives drift into a faceless sense of void" back with GT, I think).

Richey is going to have a bearing on everything they do, just like all other life experiences. yeah, the Richey one is perhaps bigger than others and there are some clear references to him, but i suspect they didn't intend as many as have been listed here.
