    i've seen that version a long time ago, and for me, totally not even. there's an animated interpretation that sort of comes almost close though.
    there's also a story called billy jack i read once along time ago, that was more like about mutiny on the bounty, which had no relation that i know of to either the song or a movie by that name.
    (and that wasn't a story my gentle soul much cared for either. the written one. i've probably never seen the movie in question though.)

    i don't get any imagery from songs that are just about human people, unless my mind can construe them as being about something else even if they are.
    muscrat love, for me, is about feral but sapient, literal muscrats. lol.

    the song pride of chenure, based on the book, is completely visual about the story in it.
    most filk (folk songs 'by' and about 'folk' who exists in stories and their writer's imagination) are completely literal and visual for me.
    i could list a bunch of them, but people who only know their music from popular corporate sources
    probably wouldn't have the slightest idea what i was talking about unless i posted links.

    i'll mention anyway; "horse tamer's daughter" (from marion z. bradley's darkover magic world)
    captian signy malory (which, like chanure, is from c.j.cherreh's universe), dawson's christian (a ghost story in space),
    "carmen meranda's ghost is haunting space station three",'hanrahan's bar' (which tells a similar story to the movie outland)

    Waiting For Darkness- by Ozzy Osborne

    I think of a Ninja Warrior, meditating- clearing his mind of everything else so that he can solely focus on one thing.....seeking vengeance

    I always wonder exactly how the works of Wagner influenced Adolph Hitler and whether this work influenced him in his perception of Nuremberg becoming the spiritual home of the third Reich.

    Ever since I was a kid, every time Foreigner’s “Head games” came on the radio, I always thought of car racing, for some reason.

    there are songs that are actually about characters in fantasy and science fiction stories and events in those stories, and they remind me of the landscapes in my mind that i pictured reading them.
    most of the songs that have lyrics that interest me are these kind, what are called filk, from a mispelling of folk, that was adopted as a name for their genre.

    i think i've already linked the channur ones, and some furry ones too. but the one thing, whatever i read or listen to, what interests me, calls to mind and focus, are the landscapes, even when its the characters that everyone else remembers.

    and its something that i keep forgetting, this business of characters vs landscapes.

    and there's even one, that i see in my mind, as the characters being a.i. robotic, that's what i thought of with one tin soldier.
    if anyone remembers the crazy r.p. game called rivits, which was making up junk robots to battle with, that's what, even knowing the idea of tin is supposed to mean insensative humans,
    to me, its also funkey rusty junky robots. it doesn't really lose its meaning if you imagine the insensitive people people in the song being, well the warriors they send into battle,
    and it even works better that way, because then it ends with the only survivor being this dented, scratched, and half rusted war-bot.

    “Say Hello, Goodbye”
    by Phil Collins
    This song came out when I was in high school and it comes to mind when I think of my Fellow classmates that have passed away.

    Yeah, IF Quiet Riot were into BDSM and strap-on knife dildos. The lead singer does sound a lot like Blackie Lawless. Or is it the other way around? Pretty uncanny regardless.
