If you knew how trapped his mind was, you will understand how truly magnificent this song is...

I always wanted to understand what was haunting Donny 'cause in his songs it seems like he was tortured like something just wouldn't let him be...

He was paranoid schizophrenic and believed that white people were out to enslave his mind and steal his voice.

And to be honest... I don't think that was just in his head.
