Shrink Proof I thought they were a '90s group, but I see they are more modern.

Twilight of the Gods: Ragnarƶk. The World Tree shudders at its roots. The doom of all. The Norse world ends! Farewell brave gods!

Now this Norse stuff is all very well, but it's hardly "Summer in the City", is it? Here's something much more urban - "City Kids" by The Pink Fairies. Guitar courtesy of the late, great Larry Wallis.

And that put me in mind of this from 1975 (Wallis co-wrote some of Dr Feelgood's later songs, though not this one) -

I consider myself fortunate to have seen the Wilko Johnson-era Dr Feelgood live (at Liverpool Stadium, a few months after the above was filmed).

I read there was an '80s song that was a tribute to C. S. Lewis. But can't remember much about it. Someone was interviewed and mentioned it. He had '80s hair in the photo I remember. If that helps.
The singer, not C. S. Lewis.

Mike Scott of The Waterboys has said that many of his lyrics were influenced by reading CS Lewis (and WB Yeats), but I don't know if there is any particular song or if it is just a general "influence" on his writing.

"The Return of Pan" would be a good soundtrack selection for any of the numerous horror stories about the great horned god.

So much ecstatic, surging LOVE here for the Waterboys Pan song.
Come with Apollo in bridal dress (Shepherdess and pythoness) Come with Artemis, silken shod, And wash thy white thigh, beautiful God, In the moon of the woods, on the marble mount, The dimpled dawn of of the amber fount !
Dip the purple of passionate prayer In the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare, The soul that startles in eyes of blue To watch thy wantonness weeping through The tangled grove, the gnarled bole Of the living tree that is spirit and soul And body and brain ā come over the sea, (Io Pan! Io Pan!) Devil or god, to me, to me, My man! my man! Come with trumpets sounding shrill Over the hill!

Crowley didn't get on with Yeats, putting it down to the jealousy of the latter over his poetry.

Does anyone remember the chapter in The Wind in the Willows where the animals (was it just Ratty and Mole?) encounter Pan? The chapter was called The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Obviously the Pink Floyd song has made me remember this. Its been a long time since I read it. I hadn't thought about this in years.
