Can't you see it?? The ideas in this song truly appeal to the American consciousness. That is why this song is easy to like and love even by non-fans like myself. Listen to the ideas presented by the singer, the instrumentals and the song as a whole:
--SADNESS
--DEPARTURE
--A SOLDIER KILLED IN ACTION
--A SOLDIER'S RETURN
--MOURNING A HERO
--AN IMPOSSIBLE LOVE
--A SAD GOODBYE
--FAMILY
--CRYING
--A LETTER WITH SAD NEWS
--A LONELY BEACH
--THE SPIRITUAL REALM
--WAR
--A HOUSE'S PORCH
--A MELANCOHOLIC GUITAL RIFF
--A SLOW RYTHM/SLOW AGONY
And last but not least:
--A SINGER'S DESPERATE VOICE TEARING AND CRYING IN PAIN
All these ideas combined make a whole lot of sense to the True American audience because these ideas talk of the reality of war, the reality of the American past, present and future... the painful human aspect and toll of war on which this nation is funded.
Even if the lyrics themselves do not make a whole lot of sense, this song touches the deepest strings of the true American heart.
The dudes from Pearl Jam are geniuses. Purposely or by chance, they hit gold with this track.
