why can I not write the subject matter of the song in the correct space, so far I've got it underneath the template and the end and somehow in the side template, this is an honest mistake and is not vandalism, however instead of reverting it I'm going to leave it in hopes that someone with more syntax experience will notice what was attempted and remedy it putting the subject the song is about directly underneath the info at the top of the page cheers, from British Columbia

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sofaraway ds.jpg

Image:Sofaraway ds.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Summary likely incorrect; deleted it

I deleted the summary, which was likely incorrect: among other assertions, it claimed the story was told from "multiple viewpoints" (not clear by reading the lyrics; it might as well be a single narrator), or claiming in one of the viewpoints his girlfriend/wife died (wtf?) or left him (wtf!?).

My own take is that the song is just about a guy who for unspecified reasons is away from his love, but anything beyond that can't be guessed from the lyrics, and no summary is better than an incorrect one. 200.89.148.92 01:58, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
