| @[Pagan:19176] Another great possible interpretation. Is it infidelity the older had with Robin's wife or was it a homosexual encounter between older and younger brother. I wish i knew the truth as both make perfect sense. | |

@[shortbus123abc:19175] Excellent analysis. Beautiful song and amazing lyrics and shortbus123abc, i think you are right on. I would like to add a couple possible caveats to your interpretation: consider the older brother is Sean and the lyrics are a combination of both Sean and Robin (the singer/author of song) talking to each other. I assume Sean is saying "Terrible am i child? even if you dont mind" then Robin, the author, said "No". This, however, doesnt change your conclusions... romantic love mixed with brothers will create guilt even if enjoyed by both parties. Another detail: Robin (the singer/younge) seems to idolize and love his troubled brother... it is Robin who initiated the trek to have a smoke in the Grandfathers cabin in the woods when they got snowed in woods when his brother was having an especially hard time. Last detail: The first stanza: "Light up with me my dear..." has been ignored by the most part in the comments. There is a slight chance they got snowed in and smoked dope together all night after being snowed in... maybe some homosexual activity engraved this journey into the younger brothers memory forever, as a good memory. |
