Question 8 Explanation: 
It is not discussed in the song why Daniel is leaving, though there is a vague reference in these lines:"Daniel my brother, you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal Your eyes have died but you see more than I"Although it remains unclear whether this is anything to do with his departure. Of course, the above lyrics, coupled with:"Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes"and"Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much"Could they infer that Daniel is deceased? It is all too deep for me to interpret!
Question 9

Because he's left me high and dry

Must be the clouds in my eyes

Forgot my glasses, didn't I?
D
Cause he's so far off in the sky
Question 9 Explanation: 
"God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes"As discussed in the answer to question 10, this line causes some confusion. Does the singer know it is Daniel? Does Daniel exist any longer? So many questions

Where is Daniel travelling to?
A
Italy
B
Bognor Regis
C
France
D
Spain
Question 10 Explanation: 
"Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain"I guess I can't let this go by without theorising that in the main, rain fell on the plane when it got to Spain?
There are 10 questions to complete.

  1. Question 8 the answer is wrong – the correct is no, as he says he has never been, your explanation of the answer also points to no lol

  2. “The story was about a guy that went back to a small town in Texas, returning from the Vietnam War.

  3. Bernie was watching the news. A report was shown about a soldier in the Vietnam war, who was a hero in the eyes of the American public. He did not want to be seen as a hero. He just wanted to go back home to the normal life. Bernie just embellished on the story.

  4. Really enjoyed the quiz. BIG Elton John fan. I would be sad if I got less than 100% because that would mean that my memory is going. LOL. Love this site. Enjoy the quizes. Thanks.
