This is one called &#8220;Inanna&#8221; I was reading &#8220;The Hero with a Thousand Faces&#8221; at the time and it seemed everything I was writing came from a myth or Fairy Tale. Actually the lyrics here are almost a copy of a translation in that book of a poem about the Goddess &#8220;Inanna&#8221; I think of the ancient city state of Sumer. I&#8217;ll have to check that.

Very much consciously I was thinking of the Rolling Stones. I think I had read an interview with Keith Richards at the time talking about how he always recorded an electric and acoustic together.
