Mike Oldfield is a strange sort of superstar for the seventies - shy, withdrawn, his face fairly unfamiliar to the readers of the musical press even now, after "Tubular Bells" has topped the album charts for over a year, a shooting star that suddenly appeared on the musical horizon and has dominated it to the increasing perplexity of critics, promoters, and most of al. But then the seventies are a funny sort of time. Perhaps Mike Oldfield is the sort of superstar we need - or deserve; as indicative of what is happening now as the Fab Four were in the sixties. It is not true, of course, that Mike has no charisma. There was a moment in the Robert Wyatt Drury Lane concert when this anonymous figure shambled on to fiddle - there is no other word - with the synthesiser, and you could feel the thrill run through the theatre. We couldn't see his face but this, surely, was Mike.

Mike Oldfield wrote this song inspired by his grandfather, who took part in the first world war. According to the stories told about his grandfather he was a completely different guy prior to the war. The conditions of war greatly affected him as a person and how he raised his kids. Oldfield visited museums that had World War I memorabilia and felt that the dismal feeling still lingered around. This song has gained additional following after it was featured in the soundtrack for the videogame Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
