for some reason this and Walk on Water give me chills...so very beautiful, but then again all of his music gives me chills...there has never been or ever will be a singer/songwriter like this man
such a great song! Neil is basically debuting this song from the beautiful noise album released a couple months earlier, pretty ballsy BTW--most would think he would do Holly holy, or cherry cherry etc-brand new song and the crowd loved it! Diamond is the man!
I always took this song to broadly reflect on the Kennedy and Vietnam era. It can be taken to mean the loss of a soldier after a hard battle. Either way, it is very moving and the best song from that album.
I am most likely wrong, but this sounds like his healing song in the wake of the killing of Kennedy's and MLK. And maybe in a larger view of a lost love one to Heaven calling them home. Thanks Neil.

ND explained Dry Your Eyes was written about Martin Luther King. Listen closely, and it makes perfect sense. It's a great song.
