Is it sad to say The Who has helped save me from suicide? I love this band, this song is beautiful, and their messages through each song is moving.

[Zebonka]

That stuff is never 'sad' (in the negative or pathetic sense), and don't let anyone tell you different. Rock on!

I am a 16 year old kid who never lets any emotion in or out, but because all The Who has done to get me through my teenage years, they are like a part of myself, and I cannot help but cry every time I hear this song. Nothing else ever makes me cry, but this always does.

By the way, I can't figure out who the either man represents, does anyone know?

[Zebonka]

At the time it was released, Pete claimed that it wasn't about the band but it was about the characters in his mini-opera.

Since then he's sort of admitted that it's about The Who, in a roundabout way at least.

I am gonna make my 2 teenagers sit still and watch every second of this video. If they move or say a word before it is over, I will beat them mercilessly.

I owe it to them.

@ZAcKHINN i think this is a song about the relationship between Pete and Roger. Im not sure but if you watch the interview they did at Rock Honors, they talk about their tumultuous relationship over all these years. Its a beautiful song. Never hold emotion in. Showing emotion means you feel something and your human. Music is a universal language. We all find comfort in it. Let your music guide you and let your emotions show. You will die inside if you don't express yourself.

:) Thanks. Yea, I ended up getting an A - on my project over The Who:) So it works! But Pete Townshend is simply amazing.

[fayala1990]

@ActualReality86 That just shows the power of music, and especially from such a tremendous band as The Who...

Hugs man, long live THE WHO!!!

[rmlaughter]

The Who proves again and again that power does not come from amps, it come from the soul. Your children's children will be enjoying their music and they will pass it on to their children. Pete writes such incredible lyrics and Roger adds passion to those words, the music just brings it all together.

[SonofBrummieDarkness]

@ActualReality86 It's absolutely not sad at all, in any sense of the world.

[garygzb]

love the way pete smiles when roger's vocals match his guitar!  makes for brilliant music!

@koenan1

That means a lot. I especially go through that a lot when I listen to Pinball Wizard. Pete Townshend is simply amazing, his talent. I just get lost in his words and realize things will be better I just have to get over the huge part that's going on and no matter what I will over come.
