| The Tallest Man on Earth – 1904 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I can't claim this is the meaning of the song, but I will point out that in 1904 the U.S. started on the Panama Canal. 1902 is when the U.S. Senate voted to pursue building the canal. The canal was a monumental engineering feat, breaking many records. It changed worldwide shipping. You could say it changed the world. It was also a killer. Building it was brutal. The abuse of laborers and locals was horrific. | |
