    It makes a difference to see all the lyrics typed out like that... it makes me think of it as a beautiful poem from a great author along with a brilliant song... I lost my fiance very suddenly in a car accident a little over a year ago, and I agree that it touches me very deeply in a spot that not a lot of people can know about...

    Wow, that's something that can turn a world upside down. Good to see you've not given up and I can definately see where this song may help. I can't say this song has any specific meaning to me but it's still in my top 5 if you look in my sig. This was the first song off of Binaural that rocked me and I get chills everytime I listen to it.

    This song came out two days after my best friend commited suicide, and did give me some comfort. The message everyone should take home from this is that for everyone you love, let them know NOW! Most of us have problems letting people know this and regrets are nothing you should live with. 7forest7


    That's a beutiful sentiment.

    It is a beutifully tender song too - I can remember playing it 5 times in a row the day it came out.
  • I've often wondered if it is about Andy Wood?

    OK, so no one cares what I wonder, and I'm probably wrong anyway

    but if it were it would be a nice way to put it

    over looked by a lot of people.

    its always been a favorite of mine.
    Yeah, mine too. I remember when Binaural first came out and I was on my first play through....this song hit me like a ton of bricks! From moment one, I knew it was special.

  • This song is really sad and beautiful. The words are incredible and it picks me up when I'm having a bad day.
