The American author and Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway was not only an outstanding literary figure and admired intellectual but also a reporter, a war correspondent, an freedom activist, an adventurer and deep sea fisherman. The allusion to Ernest Hemingway in the lyrics refer to his ability to resurrect even in the greatest of adversities. He was wounded in both World Wars, survived back to back plain crashes, was a serious drinker and yet still an activist for many causes, not least against Franco’s oppression during the Spanish Civil War. The main theme of the lyrics are “to overcome” and hence the line: DAY BY DAY YOU RAISE AGAIN – ALL OF YOU AND ERNEST HEMINGWAY!
