This was a mild war protest song. Spain was where the bodies of fallen american soldiers were sent from vietman before being returned to the usa.

Ok well your not totally wrong, but the song Daniel is actually based on a short story of a Vietnam Soldier (Daniel) that returned home blind, he was welcomed like a hero something he did not want because of what the war did to him and so many of his brethren. He would then leave his home for Spain, to be with his fallen soldiers. It is a protest of the war, but it is based on a short story of such a soldier.

I am really glad for your impressive interpretations. If the song is about a short story of a blind Vietnam vet, then that is a beautiful thing to know--thank you for sharing. I always cry when I hear this song in the right frame of mind. It is heart-sick and lovely. I'm not a very good singer but I can sing this song pretty good--there's only one difficult interval leap DAN-iel you're a star. I wish someone would interpret "Someone Saved My Life Last Night."
