Not sure if this is off thread (I'm going with the 'and more' part of your thread title), but worth noting would be the themes of moonbeans and sunbeams...
"Moonbeam(s)" appears three times: once in
East of Midnight (The road is paved with moonbeams, there are faces that I knew ~GL); once in
Now and Then (Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dancing on the floor ~GL) and again in
No Mistake About It (She's the shine in every moonbeam~GL). "Sunbeams" appears in
The Pony Man (and we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky~GL). Many other references to the sun and the moon....I'm finding all of this quite fascinating....
I must say that your Fun Quizzers thread you've got going has made me take a much closer look (and listen!) at each song's words and meaning, making me realize all the more how truly extraordinary Gordon's songwriting is. I can't think of anyone who's done it better, and for as long as he has, with such lasting meaning and impact. I really can't.
