    The story:
    A guitarist dies, after writing the best riff of his life. As far as the Police are concerned, the death appears to be due to natural causes. But to Jareth McHendry, it is the sinister work of an evil Musomancer, and the start of a powerful spell that will ruin mankind.
    Is Jareth a deluded eccentric, or is he the only person standing between humanity and catastrophic devastation? Can he track down the evil Musomancer?And if he does, will he be able to keep his guitar in tune long enough to save the world?

about

My memory is terrible. Sometimes I see an old photo, or hear a story about my younger days, and I think "Really? Did I do that, or was it someone else?" Still, there are a few things I do remember: meeting my missus, the first cat we had as a pet, the matching coats my gran made for me and my brother when we were little. Accordingly, this is one of the only Bing Turkby songs ever to feature actual, not-made-up things. Or... is it? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly.

lyrics

Have some pie, at the table
Reach for the photo box
Look at the faces

Chorus:
Stolen memories, or are they mine?
Forgotten melodies, sung out of time

I try to anchor time and place
To a name and to a face
But it's just too much
Too much to remember

Chorus

I remember when we met
I remember my first pet
I remember matching coats
The old farm and the crazy goat

Chorus
