A few years ago, when I was still living in Southern California, my family in Nevada called to tell me that my grandmother was in a dire condition and that she could be dying. I immediately drove out to Vegas, but could not stay more than a couple days. Her condition had improved somewhat, but things were still touch and go when I had to leave. On my way back home, this song started playing and all the fear loss, and those feelings of hopelessness, and the overwhelming sense of the fragility life and of all beautiful things just came to a head. I just lost it, and started sobbing uncontrollably. Listening to this song again just now, I though of my late grandmother and my late mother and I lost it all over again. But sometimes its nice too let it out, to remember that even suffering over the loss of those we love is a sign that were still very much human and very much alive.
