Help[Opinions] Re: Shiloh
in reply to a message by jemis
It makes me think of two things. The song "Shiloh" by Neil Diamond.
Shiloh when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shiloh you always came
And we'd play
It seems that in the song, Shiloh is the imaginary playmate of a lonely boy who has no friends, and Shiloh is a girl.
And then there's the Civil War Battle of Shiloh. I can just see in my mind's eye all of the Southern families who had a tintype of their poor dead son Willie on the mantelpiece, and how they'd repeatedly tell people that Willie was killed at Shiloh.
So Shiloh has a very sad aura to me.
