    @severedfragile …
    @severedfragile It’s not about nuclear holocaust. It’s about the fact that when Pat and Barbara first married, they were starting to be successful, and Barbara said, “The future’s looking so bright, we’ll have to wear sunglasses!”, which Pat took to be ironic. Now, there is a slower version of this song featuring an extra verse that makes the song dark, but it’s not about nuclear holocaust. More or less, it’s the antithesis of the blues.
