the oboe part at the begining of the song is actually from a major part of a movement from a Berloiz symphany. in it, the oboe represents a farmer in the hills calling to another farmer who answers (the english horn). Berloiz hears them while hes laying in the fields of the hills. eventually (at the end of the movement) the one farmer calling (oboe) finds that he is replied to only by thunder - it begins to storm.
its funny. i actually just saw this symphony performed and then i heard this song like two days later. what i find interesting is that the movement of the Berloiz symphony the oboe is replied to with thunder, suggesting its raining and this song ends with... "rain is falling, looks like love."
this song really coincides with the Berloiz story if you know the details... its really a love story. read up on it. its surprising.
