The Billy Shears Fan Club
"Here's Another Clue For You All"

This is the art work from Billy Shears' “This One” cd 1989 Parlophone UK release.

some "leading" lyrics to This One:

"This one is gliding above the ocean
A God is riding upon his back
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black

What opportunities did we allow to flow by
Feeling like the time it wasn’t quite right
What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm
Couldn’t I have given you a better life?"


The jacket has Krishna riding a swan over a body of water. The water has a reflection of the swan but no Krishna. Do you remember the backward message on "Blue Jay Way" that said "Paul is what is. Paul is Hare Krishna".

Using a reflection is not a new device in the mystery as seen in the bass drum of the Beatles Sgt. Peppers, in which the word ONE was a prominent feature. Perhaps Billy is trying to say he is not THIS ONE (fade to black) but another one.


The CD includes RARE Unreleased tracks:
This One (from Flowers in the Dirt cd)-"Flowers in the Dirt" is the bass guitar in yellow flowers on Sgt. Peppers
The First Stone = the first Beatle headstone
I Wanna Cry = mourning
I’m In Love Again = rebirth? renewal? (yeah, yeah, yeah! it's a stretch)
