I'm curious how many people thought this song was about Mother Nature before the movie 'Into the Wild' came out? :) Unfortunately it's not obvious what 'her' is referring to, and could be interpreted as multiple things, women or mother nature, or maybe computers and the Internet!? LOL
since the original was released in 1989, I doubt it had much to do with computers or the internet, I think to interpret this song one would have to listen to the entire album

@music1994 the movie ain't got nothin to do with it. This song goes straight to an undefinable place in our psyche, our soul. This song isn't about a circumstance, a situation, a simple relationship between lovers. It's about Mother Earth. It's about Mother Nature. It's about the Mother of Life, the Mother of God. Many names for this element of life, but it is definitely Female...nurturing, welcoming, life giving. Oh, but that Big Hard Sun, beating on the big people in a big hard world. Another analogy there, huh?
