Really keeps you guessing until the end. And hearing Garth's beautiful voice at the end was the ultimate conclusion to a really great movie. If you haven't seen it yet, go out and get it now. What I like, is the different interpretations of the song. And the fact of the matter is, no one is right.
Music is very subjective, in that it is what the listener hears.
Garth Brooks has stated numerous times that everyone has the right to their own opinion. I am not preaching that child abuse is wrong, even though it is. I am studying in the mental health services field in regards to children's behaviour. I have seen so much child abuse, it sickens me. However, someone posted that Garth is singing that it is okay to hit your kids.
