Gazpacho - What Did I Do? (from March of Ghosts),Music,,Promo for 'What Did I Do?' taken from the 'March of Ghosts' album. Directed and edited by James Jones Morris (www.jamesjonesmorris.co.uk) and commissioned through Radar Music Videos (radarmusicvideos.com) March of Ghosts is the band's follow-up to Missa Atropos, which was released on Kscope in 2011 along with the live album, London. While Missa Atropos can be viewed as a concept album, following the story of one person leaving everything behind, Thomas sees March of Ghosts is much more as a collection of short tales; 'The idea was to have the lead character spend a night where all these ghosts (dead and alive) would march past him to tell their stories.' Characters include Haitian war criminals, the crew of the Marie Celeste, a returning American WWI soldier who finds himself in 2012 and the ghost of an English comedy writer who was wrongly accused of treason and who will sit for eternity listening to gramophone recordings of the broadcasts he did on enemy radio. As lead singer Jan-Henrik explains, 'They are short stories. They are a march of ghosts. They are tales that need to be told.' 'What Did I Do?' is based around the story of the English writer P.G. Wodehouse who was accused of treason after a series of broadcasts he did on German radio during WWII. He was interned as a foreign national by the Germans and spent some time in prison camp before finally being released at 60. After he was released he stayed for some time at a country estate where he was informed of what crimes the Nazis were guilty of and how impossibly stupid it was to agree to broadcast on their radio. It is his ghost we hear sitting on the porch listening to the gramophone recordings of the broadcasts trying to understand why these simple funny narratives had caused such an uproar. The song also deals with our level of involvement in society. Are we by birth under any obligation to take part in whatever political or social system we are born into? The lyrics are: Its too late to explain it now you see Forced to submit to your policies Slip out of focus and fade away Sure you'll understand some day "What have you done"? It's too late for a message that's been sent It's too late for the needle that knows how to mend "What did I do"?

Выпущенному из лагеря для перемещённых лиц досрочно - Американские фанаты отправили в МИД германии петицию - предложили записать выступление для радио: "Чтобы успокоить поклонников".
Плёнка, впрочем была "перехвачена" министерством пропаганды, и выступления прозвучали не в Америке, а в Англии, где усилиями журналистов и некоторых общественных деятелей вызвали бурю (негативных) эмоций. Усилиями прессы, Вудхауза "не любили" до 50-х годов.
В песне мы встречаем его призрака, сидящего на крыльце, слушающего запись той самой передачи вновь и вновь, не в силах понять, что же не так с этим, в принципе безобидным, выступлением...
