This song stirs something in me. It’s more than the lyrics; which are beautiful. But the way the artist sings this ballad. His tone is so intimate. The song is sung as though no one is listening, just the artist and his thoughts. I like that.
In the end though, I think the song is about something simple. To me it makes me think of my Dad — all the good times and all the lost time. His imagery viscerally conjures this ascendance and eventual decline. The artist isn’t overly lamenting the situation. He’s still fond of what he had and understanding of what is to come. Things come and go, but we live, we love, and we always remember.
