Well we are a non-romantic arent we.
First the song was written by Shuggie Otis in '74 I think.
Second Strawberry letter = love letter so he refers to the previous letter.

Strawberry Letter 24 (A Tribute to "Strawberry Letter 23")
Salutations
And energy I bring
From generations of listening
To scented candle serenades
Rainbow renaissance
A sly nepenthe in its
Ambiance
See aurora ' weaving
Through gossamer
In conjuring
Celestial syrup ' kiwi christening
Orchestrated ' autumn
See tree leaves cascade
In jelly-drizzled pools of jewels
And jade
Flamingos fly to festivals
I seek fun too
So I follow them
Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you?
I fly ' my nape feels nectarines
So Halloween! ' Are you scared?
Not me ' I breathe the air
Of fantasy
Cumulonimbus nudges by
Sunset carousel
The citrus mistress winks to wish you well
With wild wizardry
Strawberry Letter 23
Can make me soar somewhere that
No one's seen
Thanks for that JiverSteve. Still a bit in the dark over what the phrase is intended to mean and/or where it originated. Only asking 'cos it cropped up on a TV advert the other day which got everyone talking about it. Being an old disco diva myself, I could remember the title but not the who, what, where, when of it. Anyone else with any thoughts out there?
