But the most powerful art often feeds on darkness & that was the case with the best songs on ?Savage Eye?. ?Under The Volcano?, with its swaggering riff, fiery guitar work & soul-searching lyrics, ?Remember That Boy?, a taught, intense rocker. Most powerful of all, ?Drowned Man?, a haunting meditation on the death of a friend. In a brighter vein, ?I?m Keeping?, an upbeat reggae-flavoured number, was first released as a single in June 1975, more than half a year ahead of the album. This album was to be the band?s last for Swan Song & would ultimately lead to the band disbanding later that year following the departure of Phil May. It would be four yea
