INTERPRETATIONSMy interpretation-
Missing their old home in Alabama.
Actual meaning- This song was written as an
answer to two Neil Young songs “Southern man” and “Alabama” which dealt with
racism and slavery.
My interpretation- Being trapped by something
holding him back.
Actual meaning- Being trapped in a hopeless love and feeling that all
people can relate to, it’s being trapped in some
kind of way.
