The Otherside/Andy Wood connection

elusive_one

I was just reading the lyrics to Otherside and the thing that was written about it in LD...
Jeff:....Over the couple of years that I wrote and reworked it, it turned into me and P. Partnerships are hard, lifelong ones are just absolutely mind blowing.

Does anyone else think that there's a possibility that "P" is Andy Wood... I believe Andy's middle name was Patrick... and if you read the lyrics... a couple of lines particularly make sense:

"playin' ain't the same without you here"... playing music? playing live? Reminds me of what Ed says after Crown of Thorns on L@TG about Andy.

"your fading melodies can't beat my need"

Any thoughts about this?

I think the P stands for Jeff's longtime girlfriend, I beleive her name is Pandora.

But is she dead? Cos to me it sounds like Jeff's singing about someone who's died... plus, Ed says: If life is a cruise ship and death is to embark to another shore, then this song is what it's like to be on the land while your partner remains out at sea.

I didn't know Jeff had a g/f! I'm crushed... hehe

interpret it however you want - that's all that matters - what it means to you -

to me - it's about love and that love object in your life not being there - whatever it may be
