Who's Gone Away??/Freefall

Post by Martyn »

Does anyone know if the 'she' in 'She's Gone Away' (late 60s instrumental) refers to anyone in particular? Or is it perhaps a non-specific reference to the break up of a romance?

And can anyone confirm if the 1970 instrumental piece 'Freefall' is inspired by the sport of skydiving? I thought it might be, given the way the tune comes to a halt two-thirds of the way through as if to suggest someone landing after parachuting down. Then again, this could be a complete misinterpretation!
