Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Connor Rhythm Player	#1 by Connor Fowler at Jan 20, 1973 at 2:50 PM EST
	I think it's a little deeper than a breakup, it suggests a death. I don't know of anyone who'd mourn a breakup for 10 years... "ten for roses, each one a year".

No Picture The Crow Rhythm Player	#2 by The Crow at Apr 27, 1975 at 12:56 AM EST
	In an interview Peter said that the song is about the death of his father and how it happened to fall on Valentine's Day. :'(

No Picture claireus Wanna Be	#3 by claireus s at Nov 5, 1975 at 3:17 AM EST
	I'd say it was only inspired by his father's death, and then I would agree with rustedthoughts. Each Valentine's Day, the guy used to give a rose to his gf, so the line would refer to that. Just my two cents ;) And, Candles weeping waxing tears is veeeery beautiful construction! Really got me!

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#4 by Dark Avenger at Apr 30, 1976 at 5:21 PM EST
	This is a love song. he talks about how the plans they had together died when they broke up.

No Picture Bobby Wanna Be	#5 by Bobby Warneke at Jun 2, 1976 at 6:55 AM EST
	isn't this about his life in high school? it might just be me, because i haven't read his biography or nothin like that, but the kind of guy Pete is seems like the kind of kid who probably got bullied in school im jus takin a literal meaning here but i think it's cause he asked this nice chick out on a valentives date, but she stood him up, even though he planned this big ol romantic dinner for her sooooooo, i think the girl would be one of those really popular bitches at school who spite the uncool kids jus throwin it out there The Jambo

No Picture Sally Average	#6 by Sally Gray at Mar 29, 1990 at 5:16 AM EST
	"I think it's a little deeper than a breakup, it suggests a death. I don't know of anyone who'd mourn a breakup for 10 years... "ten for roses, each one a year"." I think that the ten years were how long the relationship was. I could be wrong.
