It was first beformed in Israel in 2000; I think that that has great significance. The song's about children in the Middle East, and children involved in conflicts around the world- encaptured in the line "Baby alligators in the sewers grow up fast". The sewers are the areas of the world affected by violence; the baby alligators the people living there.
The version on the new ComLag- pure Thom, just piano and voice- is incredible emotion-laiden. The line "Some things will never wash away" is particularly heart-breaking. It acknowledges that some conflicts, such as those in Ireland and the Middle East, are inextricable complicated because of the underlying bitterness between the opposing peoples.
The "Fog" is the fog of war; what we don't see on the BBC and CNN- the effect of war on those it touches. We must look past the smokescreen and feel the true emotion of these peoples. Iraqi children grow up not knowing if their mother, father, or house will be there tomorrow. Thank you, George.
