Lyric discussion by its_a_mad_world 

its my opinion that this song is about the relationship between generations, the straight man being the older generation and the late man being the younger one. the straight man has been here and there and so has experience which is represented by the ability to talk to the wind wile the late man is searching for the experience and the ability to talk to the wind liek the straight man does.

I think it's the late man who's been here there and in between. This is the reply to the straight man's question "Where have you been?"
