I'm serious now.
All right, White Wedding.
I know a lot of people ask me, did you really write this about your sister?
And I've got to say that it's not really completely true.
It's like, I think everybody, when you write a song, you're always looking for a new situation,
new circumstance, something that does come from your own life.
But it's never complete.
I mean, my sister was pregnant, she was getting married, but there was no argument or anything.
But I thought about all the different people and all the times past when that was such a taboo thing.
And I thought about that, the taboo nature and conventions and the wedding being such a celebration,
but then it turns into something like a shotgun wedding.
And then it went on from there.
And I thought about this incestuous kind of sick brother who's
[E] probably me.
Who's gallivanting across the globe on some wild, who knows what he's looking for.
Living a completely unconventional life, leaving behind all your friends and just going and going.
And all those things just started to play in the song.
And I think the part of the song that really gets the most important is when it comes to the piece in the middle.
Because I suppose leaving home and leaving England and suddenly faced up with a new life again.
It did make me think there's nothing fair in this world.
There's nothing sure in this world.
There's nothing pure.
So you better look for something left in this world. Thank [Bm] you.
