Daniel Lyrics

This song means so much to me. I never knew that it was about a Vietnam vet, but it reminds me of my friend named Daniel who died in a car crash last Mother's Day.

I always took "Spain" to represent "Heaven" somehow, and for some reason the rest of the song seems to make sense with that. When Elton John sings "God it looks like Daniel...must be the clouds in my eyes" this is just what I feels like when I have a dream and Daniel is in it.

The "pain of the scars that won't heal" speaks of the injuries that he recieved at the time of the car crash, and after seeing him in the wake, this song made that much more sense to me.

"Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much..."

RIP Daniel Snow 05/09/2004

What if, its about the person himself died, and is watching from heaven as his brother mourns for him ? (lyrics go here)

@BlackTaxi2d I really like this song, everytime i hear about this song, i remember my ex fiance, daniel. I always call him brother. Coz he is such a big brother to me. He works in aviation industry and he often travels so much and he seems so distant from other people. (He is an introvert). So i always remember him when i hear this song. He is still sate and sound but he just never been with us anymore (physically) coz he always travels oversea.

@BlackTaxi2d How old was Daniel Snow when he died?
