      The candle is a hand of glory - old myth - left hand of a hanged man - lit it either unlocks doors or paralyzes people. Not sure - what that means but - its definitely an added layer of meaning. Also feels like something Murdoc would have laying around.

      Thematically either aspect kind of fits. This album carries a lot of the sentiment of being trapped in the past, which is a sort of paralysis, and escaping that paralysis to move on into the future, which is sort of like opening a door.

    LYRICS:
    You've more or less forgotten me this summer
    I can't hide my disappointment
    I was on my way in the Phantom V
    The one you gave away
    Try to tell you that I love you but I'm choked up
    You forgot and that makes me feel like no one (summer nights)
    Were you even really there?
    Did you ever really care?
    Wait, I got so many examples of all of the good times we had
    Long summer nights (summer nights)
    Held you a long time, put your name in my rhymes
    Refresh your memory of where you wanna be
    The Phantom's on the way, she's comin' down the street
    I tried to get to Atlanta
    On a peach blossom highway
    I'm tryin' to put these puzzles out of mind
    In a sky made of diamonds
    Where the world fell silent
    I'll be waiting for you on the other side
    Summer lights (everyday, everyday)
    Sometimes (ride where the summer goes)
    Summer nights
    Every night
    Summer nights
    I tried to say I love you
    But you didn't listen (summer nights)
    I tried to give you everything you might need (summer nights)
    In a sky made of diamonds
    And where the world is flawless
    I'll be waiting for you on the other side
    Of summer lights, summer lights
    Hold it in for a long time
    Summer lights, seems to me I'm in a dream
    Behind these summer lights
    The Phantom is coming
    You forgot and that makes me feel like no one
    She's crossing over the line
    Wait, I got so many examples of all of the good times we had
    Seems to me I'm in a dream (long summer nights, I loved you a long time)
    (Put your name in my rhyme, refresh your memory)
    Behind these summer lights
    (Of where you wanna be, the Phantom's on the way)
    (She's comin' down the street)
    Sometimes

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is my favourite Gorillaz song. 2D brings a wonderful, smooth tone in his vocals, which pairs up nicely with the simple yet precise instrumental. Elton John's lyrics are brought to the forefront in a way only he can do, Bold and Bright to hammer the piece home. 6LACK uses his wonderfully sung verse in such a clever way, almost as the opposite of Elton's. He acts more like another instrument here, free flowing in and out of the rest of the piece to give it such a distinct feel.
