This song is truly brilliant. It captures the loss of youth that war can sometimes characterize. The beginning of the song depicts a very youthful image, with mentions of silly parties and young love. This song is written in the perspective of a brother, presumably older, who may have already lost his vision of youth, and it was his younger brother who reminded him of the beauty of youth. However, he has to face the loss of youth, the loss of innocence, once again but this time it's vicariously. This song is a heart-wrenching tale of a brother who's willing to fight against all odd's to preserve his brother's innocence, his brother's youth.
