1921. a song about gaslighting that again relistening seems like a whole new song when you’ve been through that trauma. i cried during the middle part
not that it’s clear but the story is the 7y/o boy saw his dad come home and murder his mum’s lover https://youtu.be/KfUpjZAEH9Y

he then dissociates from his senses and becomes “deaf dumb and blind” (next song)
from what i’m reading about tommy, it was the first ever extended story in album form, like GKMC nowadays. it was a learning curve for pete cos the narrative was incoherent from the songs, yet

he did an interview before releasing it where he explained the whole story and it ran into 11 pages... ppl pointed out that it explains the story way better than the album itself lmao
quadrophenia was his much more coherent, mature and emotionally resonant effort 4 years later
