Calling mister Wilson, there's a visitor for you, report to mister Robinson in room one thirty two. It seems there's been an incident, please come and see the boss. The staff and upper management are sorry for your loss. That's what the office told me. That's what the office said. I had a son on Sunday now he's as good as dead. How can I tell Samantha and spoil her holiday? I'll make the call this evening but I don't know what to say. I'm sorry mister Wilson, there's no easy way to say that your son was in an accident while on the carriage way. A girl was riding with him when they impacted a car they've taken them to hospital and that is where they are. That's what the policeman told me. That's what the policeman said. I had a son on Sunday now he's as good as dead. And what about his girlfriend. I saw her father cry. Will we attend the funeral and feel guilt our son survived? I'm sorry mister Wilson but the news is very bleak. The girl has lost the battle and your son is very weak. He had a haematoma on the left side of the brain and now he's in a coma and might never wake again. That's what the doctor told me. That's what the doctor said. I had a son on Sunday now he's as good as dead. And now there's only waiting, and only sleepless nights but more than grief and hating, I have thanks that he's alive.

about

Once Upon A Time is a compilation of Mark Sheeky's music from 2000 to 2010. A track from every album up to that date is included, along with some previously unreleased material.

The tracks here vary from the energetic and fun, like Opticon or China Syndrome from Stupid Computer Music, to the musically complex forms of The Battle of Angels and Cxthys The Spiral Staircase, the mathematic tones of The Clockwork Harpsichord from Pi, and the gentleness of The Angel from The Infinite Forest.

Of the unreleased tracks, Girl Reading a Letter is notable as part of an (as yet) unrealised album of songs and music about 17th century Dutch paintings and artists. The song is presented here as an instrumental track and is about the painting of the same name by Vermeer.

Several of these tracks were later remastered or rerecorded; Andromeda, Refuge, The Angel; so this album contains a unique record of the first versions of that music.
