@acousticdoug - I can't say that this "comment" is particularly helpful or positive. If you have something to say, if you wish to share some wisdom you've acquired in your studies, then please be specific.

Thanks :-)

@fvanthie well if you really wanna know... the song is talking about the "swan's song" which is equated to death. See early philosiphers believed that the swan only sang right before it died. Now in the period that Arceldelt wrote the peice the idea of death was equated to something... well... dirty persay. I try not to be specific because well it's not polite. but as I said double ontondra so therefore has a perverse meaning.
