Arnhem is also in the Netherlands!
Don't forget, cannabis is legal (or largely tolerated) in the Netherlands, it might be a reference to this fact, who knows?

Ok, but "Journey to Arnhemland" it's a Wallis song too. And he dedicated it to the aboriginal people from Arnhemland in Australia |

Folks outside of Australia have probably never heard of this, but the Morning Glory is also a giant "wave cloud" that occurs in Arnhem Land. It's basically a giant wall of cloud over 1000km long and several kilometers high that sweeps across the land. Aborigines used them as a sign that the rain season had arrived.
I always figured that was what the the title was referring to since the song before it is called Journey To Arnhemland 
Wait ...do non-Australians even know what/where Arnhem Land is? |
I reckon Morning Glory explores similar themes to Manifest Destiny, ie. the struggles of a native people and their beliefs.
In Aboriginal dreamtime all are one and one is all, which would explain the singular reference point in the song! |

I always taughted it was about some english stuff...don't ask me why!

I was told it was called ayaguasca. A person I used to know went to this spiritual get together in oaxaca and came back with this thing, ayaguaska, he gave it to a friend of mine and he smoked it... I have never seen a person gone that "blank" in my whole life.... it was like if my friend was taken away from his body... and he shure never was the same hahahaha.
I never payed attention to the track organization on the ROTSC Album, will listen to it when I get home tonight. |

Ancient thread, but... If you want to know what these look like, here's a picture taken yesterday when they appeared over the Gulf of Carpentaria near Arnhem Land, way up in the remote top end of Australia. They're a very rare type of cloud formation and no-one knows exactly what causes them. Pretty cool though!

Thank you for the picture Andrew, it's amazing!
Did you take it from a plane?
...I know it's a real picture but I really would like to see those clouds with my own eyes damn are so strange, and the mistery that nobody knows from where they come and why makes the story even stranger than it is.
