Is it just me, or does Robin sing "Til I finally died, which started the whole world 'laughing'" (instead of 'living') when he performed this live? |

The song is about the Eucharist, or Communion, whichever word your Christian faith subscribes to. Listen for the three bells in the beginning of the song. Tommy James was raised a Roman Catholic, but became a 'born-again Christian' in 1967, not that personally make a big deal about the differences, but some do. The song is about the blood of Christ. |

I bought this album for the Mummer's Dance and fell in love with this song instead. I remember my dad hearing it when I'd play it too loud as a teenager and he'd yell through the door to "play that song again." And I would, because I wanted to hear it again too, and a third time, too. He died in October of 2011, five days after my 34th birthday. We talked the day before. Chest pains, but the doctors assured him after all the tests that it's not his heart. He died early the next morning. I listen to this song to remember him. I miss him. |

This song always reminded me of my grandfather. He served in World War II in France and came home and worked for forty years on the Pennsylvania Railroad. "He bought it back from the war in France." Sure, I realize it's not really about railroads and World War II veterans, but that's the meaning the song has always had for me. |
