But somehow I'm starting to think that the ongoing discussion about new (or unreleased) songs in the setlist affected some of Marks decisions. Perhaps GF has been suggesting to be a little more brave when it comes to compiling the setlist in the recent tour. However, I'm quite sure that he won't admit such an influence.

There is another point that brings up the question if the GF-forumer's feedback may have some influence on MK: How on earth could his guitar playing become so mindblowingly perfect again?

-----------------------------------------------------
An early morning in London, after walking the dog MK returns to his home and puts the kettle on. After sipping some of that steaming hot tea he decides to fire up his computer since there is no motorcycle racing on the telly.

"Where are this damn reading glasses?" he starts to mumble.
"Ah, there...." and clicks to start his browser to have short look at www.guardian.co.uk

After a short while he gazes across the frame of his reading glasses over the kitchen table.

"Mmmph, my new book 'Death Comes For The Archbishop'...no, not yet - I'm gonna set aside the reading pleasure until I'm on the road again" MK thinks and starts to type guyfletcher.co.uk into the address bar of his browser.

"Ah, this Guy Fletcher forum people are a bunch of hard-boiled critics" MK laughs. "So I'm in for a challenge", grabs the phone in order to call Guy Fletcher and tells him they are going to play no DS hits in the upcoming shows. Afterwards he starts to pick up the guitar in the living-room and noodles away for some hours.

I went from German to Spanish, I hope it makes some sense. If you type hauling into youtube, you get some videos of paddling people in a canoe and a strange video "" - hauling liquor (aka moonshining).

So my guess is that "haul away" is - typical MK - ambiguous:
a) it expresses a movement in nautical terms
b) it expresses a disappearing in some way

But I don't know for sure.

Yeah. As I think it is about a sea funeral (it was a windless night WHEN YOU LEFT THE SHIP, Now you lie deep in the dark blue sea), it is probably the moment the body is given to the sea and ... drifts away, or as Mark has it, hauls away..., and also away from the storyteller, the living man...

Morbid, but maybe true...

Can someone explain me what is exactly TO HAUL AWAY?

And... I think perhaps he says:

"so haul away
haul away for home"

instead of "...for me..."

What do you think?
Not sure on this...but I think that 'haul away' is a reference to hauling up the sails. It sounds to me like he is referring to a burial at sea..leaving his friend behind in the cold dark sea...hauling up the sails and heading for home.

Hello Fabirydel, welcome to AMIT! I hope you will have a great time reading and posting here!  ;D

I am behind in reading, but this is for me the first time that I am able to watch these videos. THANK YOU for sharing!

I already heard the songs for example at Youtube as audio, but watching and listening is better! :P

Haul has to do with navigation of ships! It is a term that is used on sailing boats in the past, but perhaps it is still used by big ships now.
