Yes it is heartwrenching. Initially the song was about a mans quest for knowledge as he travelled across the known world at the time. I recorded it in 1990. Since I joined psychlinks I have been made aware of others' quest for knowledge. It occuurred to me that the lyrics represented not only academic and natural interest knowledge, but the lyrics as well describe an attempt at recovery and proactive attempts of recovery from mental illness. In this context, it is a dark song, and fraught with failure, yet the lyrics are hopeful.
