On the surface, It's an explanation of a man to his loved ones why he left for the front but then, we have the narrator referring to himself as an Anarchist with the heart of a Legionnaire. Not only does it speak to a tragic sense of displacement from others, almost making it seem almost like a suicide letter: It also puts me in mind of the Spanish Civil War. The musical accompaniment sounds like a classic battle-march but I'm not sure of It's provenance. If anyone has information on that, please share.
