Kate was very reluctant to place this on Aerial, she felt it was too personal. The death or her mother had a huge impact upon her, it took her a while to come to terms with the loss and in interviews she stated she was on the verge of breaking down. I really get the sense that she used the song as a way of addressing and accepting her grief. It's a hugely emotional song, both in content and sound.
