An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm. Sedimentary islands in the Ganges delta are called chars. A grouping of geographically or geologically related islands, such as the Philippines, is referred to as an archipelago. There are two main types of islands in the sea: continental and oceanic.

As an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has greatly symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition and philosophy. The seven Classical planets resulted in seven being the number of days in a week. It is often considered lucky in Western culture and is often seen as highly symbolic. Unlike Western culture, in Vietnamese culture, the number seven is sometimes considered unlucky. It is the first natural number whose pronunciation contains more than one syllable. Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, Indians wrote 7 more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase vertically inverted. The western Ghubar Arabs' main contribution was to make the longer line diagonal rather than straight, though they showed some tendencies to making the digit more rectilinear. The eastern Arabs developed the digit fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The single was released on both CD and vinyl record formats, with ''Bryter Layter'' track " Northern Sky" as a B-side.

Reception Contemporary reviews were mostly positive. In ''Sounds'' Jerry Gilbert called the album "superb" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In 2004 the song was remastered and released as a 7" vinyl and as enhanced CD single including a video to the song by Tim Pope. Musical structure and lyrics The song is in a 5/4 time signature and is one of the few songs Drake wrote to be played in standard tuning. The string arrangement was composed by Harry Robertson (aka Harry Robinson), after Drake's friend Robert Kirby felt he couldn't compose it alone, although he did most of the arrangements on ''Five Leaves Left''. Drake did not reveal the identity of the 'Betty' character in the lyrics, although Trevor Dann speculated that she may have been drawn from Betty Foy, a character in Wordsworth's " The Idiot Boy", a poem Drake had studied while attending Cambridge.Dann, Trevor.
