Comment:

I had been working on two separate mixes: one a collection of some favorite songs about childhood, adolescence, and growing up; the other a collection of songs about the costs of war and the dream of peace. While I was listening to the Richard Thompson title track, I realized that some of these songs belonged together, so the theme here is the loss of innocence - for the individual and for society.
