| Great song. It's basically about just living in a hectic world, wanting to just cool off, just chill, get away from it all. I guess it could be like an environmental song too (it was released in 1977 when that kind of thing was big I guess), talking about the oceans, and animals, etc. etc. Mainly it's a song about wanting to get back to basics, and having gone so far in your life you feel like you have to stop for a minute and think about what you're doing, where you're going, etc. | |
