I just translated the lyrics into my language, but the song title left me a puzzlement.

Maybe I haven't totally understood the meaning of the song. Can someone help? Thank you Smiler

Well I don't know if I can shed much light on it. But the correct spelling is "Raagy One", yeah? And "Raaga" ia a term given to a particular component of Indian traditional music. So on that level "Raagy One" would suggest the title is referring to a person who in some way has some kind of link with that musical form. There may be a terrible Star Wars pun in there too ("Raagy One" / "Obi Wan"), or I may be reading too much into it.

I think thats reading too much into it!

But if anyone can tell me what the title "goodbye tin terriers" is about, that would be great!


Look for signs and portents...

Well I wouldn't have suggested it if the band weren't known Star Wars obsessives. Anyway, no-one's likely to prove me wrong :P

I did ask about the GTT title for that thing where the band invited questions that they were going to answer. About which nothing was ever heard again :P

You could try this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raga

Although since it's talking about a musical concept, it might go a bit too deeply into musical theory for you. Note also that that page uses the spelling 'raga' rather than 'raaga'. I think this is partly because the correct written form is 'rāga' but there's no direct English equivalent of the character 'ā', and therefore different people tend to write it differently.
