definitely one of the most beautiful songs on the album and of 2005 to date! Who do you think the "HE" he keeps referring to is? could just be giving the war a persona but i think maybe theres more to it any ideas?
'he' is a metaphore for the war!!! james is saying all the stuff about what happens at war and afte wa.... so 'he has been here' means war has been here
