Possibly the rawest song on Berlin and one of my personal favorites in Lou's catalogue. While the meaning of the song, I think, is clear, Lou compares Caroline's situation to her nickname "Alaska" to make the song seem extremely cold. In fact, Lou leaves the listener with nothing but chills with this one.
