I’ve always thought this song was so pretty and sweet…that was until I realized exactly what the song was about.
On the outside it is an extremely passionate love song set to an equally as moving score. However, it is sung by actors portraying Lynette Fromme and John Hickley. For those of you who don’t know about them, here is a short history lesson.
Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme is a member of the Manson family who attempted to kill president Gerald Ford. John Hickley was desperately in love with actress Jodie Foster and tried to kill Ronald Reagan in order to impress her.
Try thinking about that when you listen and the whole song has a completely different meaning. Still just as pretty to me though.
