Whenever I hear this song, I think of coming of age. The moment when we have come to realize what our life "is" rather than what we would "wish" for it to be. I think this rendition is better than S&G's and that's quite an achievement. The fact that it goes with the movie Less than Zero's soundtrack probably is what makes me believe that it's a coming of age story and not simply the end of our life story. There are many seasons in our lives and probably many winters in our lives to have to weather and for the characters in the movie one's poor choices (Robert Downey Jr.'s character) cause them to miss out on as many winters as the others will endure in their lives. I think that's very poignant along with the lyrics to the song and the moral of the story is take a look at your own life and think about your choices in life and respect how finite our lives might be.
