This was a hard one for me! Dance with Me is my favorite in this album although Universal Daddy was my second choice. By the way, does anyone know the true meaning behind Universal Daddy? I listen to the song many of times but still can't figure out what exactly the song means.

Only Marian could tell, but as he said before, he likes the way people may interpret the lyrics, so my guess is that he wrote an unclear/not explicit text on purpose - and it's just as well !

Very interesting! I have many ideas but they're all probably way off to the real meaning! Thank you! That is one question I'd love to ask Marian!

In the meantime I've checked the symbol associated to the song (ex : The Voyager => the Comet) ; here it's hammers, so religion, politics, freemasonry... who knows ?!

I agree. A lot of AV songs do relate to the world, religion,etc. it could have a lot of meaning in one song. Marian is a pro when it comes down to that!
