Don´t know if anyone has noticed this or not. I´m actually surprised there isn´t a thread about it already...but if you look in the liner notes/lyric booklet that comes with the album, you will notice that every word in every song that has to do with water (e.g. tears, water, snow, ocean, etc, etc.) is in bold. Obviously he/they want us to know there is a common theme here (pretty spelled out) what do you folks think about this?

Not to mention the water on the cover and in several pictures. I wonder if this theme is Paul´s idea, or the album art designer´s?

Maybe the ocean, or water signifies the unity of all people, because when a drop of water enters the ocean it becomes one with her. Once Upon a Time There was an Ocean seems to be about that. Water could also mean the cleansing water that some religion use in ceremonies, washing away of guilt or sin (wartime prayers). No troubled waters this time, but water that is clean and pure.

I´ve my own theory. I think that the water is the same water that we can see on "songbook". So...maybe is like closing the circle. The first album and...the last album? And the boy would be like the new generations that are coming, the new musicians...and also, his face is, actually, surprised. It´s only a theory! and sorry for my english!

The last album? No no, I don´t think so.

About the water theory - well if I could just hold this album in my hands...

The circle of the PS Songbook and this album - it´s like the water circulation, rain, evaporation. But the LAST album? Rain always comes down again, doesn´t have to mean that. Or maybe it´s just because I don´t WANT to believe that...
