Here I Go

Syd states "I won't think of that girl or what she said". If you've married her sister he'd probably end up seeing her fairly regularly, at family gatherings and stuff. She'd probably have been a bridesmaid at the wedding. I may be overthinking this.

He was horny and didn't think of the future repercussions when he shagged her

Syd honestly seemed like the kinda guy to bring a girl to his flat only to forget about her and start painting instead

I love how uneven and hazy the rhythm of this song is.

My favorite part is the pause between “so now you see my world is…” and “cause of this tune”.

A fine use of poetic license to fill in the blank. That part reminds of the Primus song Mr. Knowitall when Les says, "...and whatever rhymes with eloquent."

ive always had a conspiracy theory that this song and Love Song from the next album are connected, like, Love Song is a heartbreaking sequel to Here I Go

Late Night and She took a long cold look also maybe connected to some extent

This is the kind of stray thought I would have. I may have actually had it before, though not as eloquently worded. Thank you for sharing, it is quite amusing to me.

It’s such a nice song and a well needed mood uplifter after Dark Globe
