During a recent concert which I attended (9/22/2007), Colin prefaced this song by mentioning it was originally written about George Best -- the famous football/soccer player who died some years back. He did concede that this song could perhaps apply to himself as well. In any case, I love this song for its unabashed look backwards, without being schlocky or sticky. A brilliant feat in and of itself!
