Talk:Dead Winter Dead

Dead Winter Dead is not........
Dead Winter dead is not about a Serb boy and Muslim girl fall in love in Sarajevo. Actually it's lyrics are so confusing and lacking it really is not about anything.
 * I agree it's not about falling in love. But the message of the album is clear, it's a statement about the wastefulness of war and how people can be manipulated into fighting for "causes" not worth fighting for. At the end of the album, the boy and girl, fighting on opposite sides of the Yugoslav civil war, meet over the body of a man who had been playing music on Christmas eve, only to fall victim to a sniper. Disgusted with the war and what it's done to their country, they walk away from the war together.


 * Also, Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24) wasn't re-recorded by TSO, the song was exactly the same on as the Savatage album and was simply re-released on the TSO debut "Christmas Eve and Other Stories." Which made sense, since TSO basically is Savatage. Jsc1973 01:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
