Posted: 9/18/04 at 1:58amHey, does anyone know who, if anyone, JRB is talking about in this song? I absolutely love this cd and through listening to it all day long i was just wondering if anybody knew if he was talking about a specific person.

Wait--you don't think JRB sings it do you? Cause it's Ty Taylor singing--he's insnaely awsome. As for the song, each song has a different story behind it, so it's not part of a storyline for the entire show, just that one specific "moment." Don't ask me what that moment is though.
Has anyone heard anything aboutt Ty Taylor since SFANW?

Posted: 9/18/04 at 9:55amno, he hasnt done anything since. i know its not JRB singing. i realize the concept of the show, it just seems like a song that jrb needed an inspiration to write.

ive heard jason get asked that question before. The answer he gave was, "what do you think that it is about?"
Each song in SFANW has a different meaning to each person. Well at least a lot of them. That's the beauty of it.

Posted: 9/18/04 at 3:02pmI've heard speculation, and I can understand it, that it's about Jesus.

Posted: 9/18/04 at 3:14pmHow is it about Jesus? One of the lyrics says "Tell my son I will return to him" (or something like that). Jesus didn't have a son.

I believe the lyric you're referencing is "Tell the children I'll return to them."
He could mean the children of God, aka everyone.
