T- calming, enthusiastic, happy

What is [Harry Nilsson] talking about?
At first one would think he is being very literal towards his desk. As soon as you step back and view the piece as a whole, it starts to look like he is reffering to an old friend.
As we disscuss as a class, we figure out he IS representing his God in this song. Nilsson uses the old desk as a symbol for God.

Looking back at the song with this new perspective, we can point out specific lines that make more sense refering to a God than to an old desk.

1. "It's always there"
2. "Never once seen him cry"
3. "Giant of all times"
