Default Amie

Who is Amie?

This is my wild imaginations idea of who she is: someone who Damein grew up with (most likely an older sister/older sister figure) who died. I can just picture a little boy and his sister sitting on their front porch looking up at the late evening sky at an imaginary space ship, flipping through chidrens books. He feels safe and secure with her, and now that he's older, when he is feeling INSECURE, he call out to her.

But who is she REALLY?

It's one of his most intense and personal feeling song of his. So, it must be a person he was VERY close with.

Like, a romanticly-interested-in-her kind of closeness. Possibly.

i would say so.. you don't write songs like that about someone you feel lukewarm about... but i don't think his affection was reciprocated...

Well, doesn't mean you can't write a deeply affectionate someone who you don't feel romantic to. I wrote a real passionate song (stand by you, I posted the lyrics in that lyric thread) about a friend of mine that I felt really close to (long story about what happened after that though), and i felt no romantic lover twards her.


Amie, really seems like a friend more than a lover. Or maybe a mentor of some type, since she reads him the story of "O". Also, what is "O"?
