Title?
[edit]If we’re going to devote an entire article to a B-side, it would be nice to include some information about the song’s curious title. The mandolin, after all, is very much a string instrument, not a wind instrument. What did Stewart mean?TheScotch (talk) 18:30, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
If you look at how Stewart uses the term in the body of the lyric (in contradistinction to just as the title), by “mandolin wind” he appears to mean “cold wind”. Is this an established expression? If it’s Stewart’s own invention, by what association does he get from “mandolin” to “cold”? TheScotch (talk) 19:26, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
