@[yamyamyam:3698] yamy, the Hitler connection was the best idea I had too. Especially the death thing--I died and the world lived. Could be that the songwriter just had a phrase in his head and built on it (as I think often happens with these mysterious songs). I would hate to think that such profound lyrics have no meaning, though. |

Did anyone know this: The movie "American Graffiti" was actually the inspiration for the song. Bob watched the movie and said, "I lived that"--and wrote the song. |

Dumbbell me--I just agreed with my own comment and sent it twice. (I didn't realize that I was the one who had written the original comment.) Thanks for all the replies. I have to think that the last part of the song is symbolic of the passing of life. It takes on a very somber tone of a guy who seems to have only memories left. It makes two references to the passing of time, and it gets nostalgic. Thank you all for input. |

Yeah, I take it as death--"how far off I sat and wondered?" The whole last stanza is about the passing of time and the way life is flying by. |

Paul and John were like Gleason and Carney. In a world of billions of people, how did those two megawatts ever end up together? |

Bob should just tell us what everything means. The relationship with the girl is easy enough to figure, but what is the "thunder" he or they are waiting on?
My best guess is death. "Woke up last night to the sound of thunder" refers to a waking by literal thunder, but he immediately relates it, I think, to this other thunder and starts talking about the passage of time, looking first backward (song from 1962) and then forward: " with autumn (probably of his life) closing in." |
