It's hard to imagine how often this sort of thing happened to ww2 veteran wives.

"It's a Fine Day" by Edward Barton can be interpreted as a reflection on the impact of war on people's lives and the hope for a better future. The opening lines of the song describe people leaving their houses and enjoying a short walk, which could be seen as a celebration of freedom and liberation after the end of the war. However, the repetition of the lines about sitting in a field and remembering plans that never quite came to fruition suggests a sense of loss and longing for those who did not return from the war. The line "Rain or appointments or something" may allude to the numerous impediments, such as war, that can hinder us from accomplishing our desired goals and aspirations in life. Despite the losses and difficulties caused by the war, the refrain "It's going to be a fine night tonight, It's going to be a fine day tomorrow" offers hope for a brighter future. The final line, "We will have salad," can be interpreted as a symbol of health and prosperity, a reminder that the simple pleasures of life will return after the trauma of war. Overall, "It's a Fine Day" portrays a bittersweet mix of celebration and mourning, reflecting on the impact of war on people's lives. While the song acknowledges the challenges and obstacles that war can create, it also offers hope for a better future and a reminder that the simple pleasures of life will return. In this way, the song captures the complex emotions and experiences of those affected by war and offers a message of hope and resilience.

Definitely the most interesting and questionable part of the poem. The first stanza is just filled with observations, "People open windows They leave their houses Just for a short while They walk by the grass And they look at the grass They look at the sky", you just get a real sense of contemplation. The "short while" bit is very thought-provoking to me. It suggests that they're maybe not so comfortable outside, the people, that is. They look at the natural forms around them, and that's all we're told - nothing else. And then of course, "It's going to be a fine night, tonight It's going to be a fine day, tomorrow", just the latent optimism and execution of those lines tells me that they're somewhat ironic and possibly sarcastic. Whatever's outside their houses is affecting them, to the extent of which they need to tell themselves that it's going to be a fine day/night. It could possibly be sincere, but I don't see it that way. "Sitting in this field I remember how we were going to sit in this field But never quite did", the passing of time is evident in these lines. Something interfered with this person's dreams. It could be directed towards a dead person, or someone who left. The more creepy conclusion is that you can say she's talking to herself; the things in life she thought she'd do but never got a chance to. "Rain or appointments or something Rain or appointments", it's either one or the other which interfered. Rain is apparently not a favourite weather of hers, and appointments, well... that couldn't be any more enigmatic than it really sounds. And finally, the last line of the last, repeated stanza, "We will have salad", I thought Renee put it really well. The incoherence of this line changes the tone of everything you've already heard. "We will" is the magic formula of this poem. The theme is particularly concerned with the present and the past, and then suddenly we get a line which is future-tense. Salad is irrelevant, as far as I'm aware, it's just the fact that the future suddenly appears before us. Very strange.

[@rhythmrooster3684]

+Parched Pinemarten that is a very good interpretation of what the song is about. well, put!

[@LauWo]

Salad in itself is not important indeed but next to the future-tense which breaks the tension of the song, it also brings us back from nostalgia to practical habits. From a wish of emotional fulfillment to an ordinary family situation. Also, if the video is meant to give the extra information, it is about the possible fear of losing a loved one and this ordinary family habit becomes quite special expressing the hope of a time together forever :) I think your explanation is terrific, couldn't have analysed it better! I do believe so, it is lacking the emotional content which is what we're all feeling all along.

[@ParchedPinemarten]

Wow! I've never known the original version of this song until today. I've only known Opus III's 1992 cover that is of course much more bumping. The original mix is mainly ONE voice alone: it is acapella, what makes lyrics & their tragic background bring out. Moving & beautiful.

[@lukeimontv7086]

Have you ever heard “Halcyon On + On” by Orbital? They use samples from this and Opus III’s “It’s A Fine Day”

[@jurajjakubec7796]

Very beautiful and calming. Whenever I find myself over-thinking or having a troubled mind this song quiets the bad thoughts down. Anyone else?

[@zeddeka]

This song is actually a poem by Edward Barton. Jane, the lady singing, was his girlfriend.

This song is so bitter sweet, i feel like she's singing to her son though he originally doesn't understand the meaning of her words, shes just remembering and all she has left are memories, dreams of what could be, shes barely holding on yet her son is the only thing she has left

This makes me think of my Great grandparents and grandmother. My grandfather was a merchant seamen who died when his ship was sunk by a U boat in WW1. At the time of his death, my great grandmother had only recently given birth to my grandmother. Sadly, he never got to meet his daughter.
