Classic indeed. I hadn’t listened to that track for 20 years. Wow.

So at the very end, is it “And the Wind Cried Mary”? That’s what I’ve always heard....

That was the consensus. A great follow up to “A saucer full secrets”.

It’s been deciphered.

You only have 9 years to live due to global warming!

Agreed on the “Wind Cried Mary”

It was definitely a flashback, probably around ‘83 or ‘84 for me.
LOL, Now I want to go back and listen to the whole album...

Actually old english took *very* few loanwords from provincial latin nor from p-celtic - the germans mainly displaced and enslaved romano-british except in the areas they did not conquer. the only notable celtic words to get into old english were iirc some geographic features (crag? hard to remember now). many romano-celtic (or earlier) place-names were replaced as well, so complete was the language replacement.

As far as I can tell p-celtic (welsh cornish bretonish) may have taken some, pont is one that comes to mind (bridge) but I never researched the issue in detail. aur (gold) maybe too but that is also in germanic (Ore) as the word itself is ancient, predating the languages in question by far enough to have a common root in IE.

where old english started getting a bunch of words of latin origin is the norman conquest, some through church latin but a lot more from old french.
