Q: This iconic musical artist wrote a hit song with portions of his lyrics detailing, in part, the loneliness, scared feelings and rumours affecting a soldier on the battlefield. Hint: the song mentions a retreat, although the song only dealt tangentially with warfare.
A: Artist, song, subject matter, year of original release, and for bonus points name the band he played it with in 1995 in Berlin, Germany.
For extra bonus points- which English trio released a beautiful sounding all vocal version of the song.
