Such a powerful and compelling song; it somehow makes you think of courage, and there is certain sweetness and romance in it, which is pretty unsettling and incredible for a song about a girl who killed her boyfriend (in order to steal his heart).
@paganpoetry Well, that\'s an interesting, very literal interpretation. But knowing that the song was written by Bono and Gavin Friday for the film In the Name of the Father, but Jim Sheridan decided a woman should sing it to represent "Mother Ireland", it most likely is about a relationship with an emotionally closed off father, and was probably inspired by Bono\'s strained relationship with his late father.
