I’m standing my ground. I didn’t cry all the time over that song when I was young, and I absolutely do not get sad whenever I hear it now. Not me. Also, I guess I always thought it was about a man whose dance partner died young, possibly from cancer, but apparently I made that up.

The magic of "The Dance" is that it can be about anything which started happy and turned sad. It encompasses all of the crushing entropy of the inexorable march of time. It is pain and beauty in a blender.
