This song is based on the case of Robert Hewitt, a diver who was lost at sea, and very lucky to survive, and how he hallucinated about his wife and children. The song always makes me think of someone lost at sea, and the rise and fall of the music seems to imitate the waves caused by the currents.
However, as basket said, Neil's lyrics work on many levels.
While this song is from an album dedicated to Paul, it is not one of the songs which puts me in mind of Paul's suicide. That's not to say it is not one of the meanings Neil meant it to have.
Haha, the song "Elephants" just started to play, it has the same kind of feel to it. Up and down to a 3/4 beat.
