"Who really cares in America about what’s happening in Algeria?"
I do. Some people do.
"Who really knows?"
Now that's a good question.

or body bags. . . also, down on my hand & knees every time the doorbell rings, could be PTSD. The last minute of the song sounds like war sounds to me, especially at the begining, like a radio, or a pilot going down. I think it is definitely an anti-war song.

Spoon – Back to the Life Lyrics 20 years ago
Satan is also the son of god, the spurned earlier-born (sort of like Ishmael in the Hebrew Bible). I'm no satanist or anything, this is all mythological symbolism; see Carl Jung's Answer to Job re how Satan is God's "shadow" son.

Phish – Farmhouse Lyrics 20 years ago
the song is about how they went from making original and innovative music into simplistic boring songs like velvet sea and this one. the "cluster flies" are all the hangers on who fucked up the scene and eventually the music. "this time of year" is this period in the band's history - bad. "she" is the musical magic that disappeared. the narrator tries to strike a positive note saying things will be alright in the farmhouse, but he's probably trying too hard to convince himself. if this is your favorite phish song that's pretty sad, but this song is for you, who got on the bus too late - welcome, we're sorry for you, you'll never get to see the northern lights; and as for you heads who remember the time of year when things were good, sorry for the betrayal of your trust, but all good things must pass. . .
