Wil1972 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Could never figure out why it isn't Analog Man and Digital Kid.. digital was the new age .. Maybe cause everything was analog when he was growing up and as a man he had to learn to adapt to the digital age?

kena2112 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Definitely one of my favorite songs. I always thought it was the Digital Man as a kid. I love the last verse. "When I leave I don't know what I am hoping to find. When I leave I don't know what I'm leaving behind." That's deep ;) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verena Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Definitely one of my favorite songs. I always thought it was the Digital Man as a kid. I love the last verse. "When I leave I don't know what I am hoping to find. When I leave I don't know what I'm leaving behind." That's deep ;) Agreed. The statement is truthful about knowing nothing of the future and not being sure of what's left behind until one hasn't lived. Connection between one phase of life and another. Synths,"keyboards and guitars create these 'strange' feelings. Drums create the fast rhythm of one growing and changing. It's very related. One of my favorite songs ever! :rush: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
