Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about For Whom The Bell Tolls (Remastered). By Songfacts®.

The lyrics are based on the 1940 Ernest Hemingway novel of the same name. The book is about an American who is given the job of taking out a bridge held by the Fascist army in the Spanish Civil War - the precursor to World War II. He fell in love and then found out very disturbing things about life and death.

The phrase "For Whom The Bell Tolls" originated in a 1623 poem by the Englishman John Donne, who wrote: Send not to know For whom the bell tolls It tolls for thee Hemingway's book used the title.

This song is a commentary on the futility of war. The last few lines of the song diverge from the book to make this point.
