I'm really sorry if this is going to be a sad note to all the above (very kind and truly lovely) comments, but when the album came out I sent a copy to my elder brother and when speaking of it shortly after he singled out After All as the song which he felt was exceptional.
I hadn't really understood the song, or, at that time, my brother's feelings in connecting with it.
Sadly things got terribly bad for him and the following year he took his life, on Valentines' Day.
Although I had been a great fan of Dar's music for many years before, it is only since losing my brother, and remembering his words, that I have truly felt where the song comes from. It is exceptional.
I'm sorry for any sadness and hope it is ok to add such a comment.
Much love to all those fighting depression.
Take care
