Saw Gordon Lightfoot in concert in 1973 as a student at University of Colorado. Didn't know that five years later this would become the song I would associate with breaking up with the person I took to the concert.
In the concert he also sang a song titled Beautiful. When he introduced it he said that a major cosmetic firm had offered him a very large sum of money and royalties to base a fragrance line around it. Turned them down as he wanted listeners to associate it with a special person and a time in their life and not a product. I think this song is a similar gift to the listener, something that becomes theirs.
