@@c.s.4428 also maybe that both Molly Rankin and Kirsty MacColl are female pop singer songwriters with passionate celebrated folk singers as fathers/role models?
I love that there's so much space for ambiguity - all she gets is postcards, and she never knew him well enough to know whether it's true, and even though "he says it's brilliant there" she follows it up with uncertainty after uncertainty ("I know he's changed somehow" [how?]) "He's so far out of reach.") It's such a bittersweet song.
Long live Kirsty MacColl.

Camera obscura wow same sound
Is this song about death?
I don't think so. I googled the lyrics and it sounds like the person ran off to Australia.
It's basically saying that the grass isn't always greener, if you watch the Kirsty McColl video it kinda makes it clear !
Yes.

Depends how you interpret it. Literally, no. I read it as a metaphor, so my opinion is yes.
