i think the very very beginning of the songs - pre-lyrics - would be good just as rolling fields / prairie / a small town silhouette with a water tower, churches. maybe first there's darkness that turns into the landscape?
when i was lonely, when i was nine
(a view to capture distance, isolation and maybe living in a different child-like world, hence it open to the sky and a tree trailing into the room)
i had these dreams where everybody died
some are too awful...
(untellable darkness in dreams)
...for me to retell
but one burned a brand in my skull
cos i saw it coming....
(head in hands, seeing, feeling "it" coming)
(the fire would flow out of that page and then fields would grow from behind it almost. the fire trails out and the fields appear. then i see that far off shot of the lone church in the fields)
