Cover art for My Old Flame lyrics by John Vanderslice

This song is absolutely beautiful. I don't know what his intentions lyrically were, but I this song reminds me of my parents after they divorced. Both are happier in their present situations, but i've seen them both also get choked up on occasions when we've been talking about the past. I think that the lyrics slightly incinuate that although the wife and husband have moved onto better situations, they both undeniably can't forget their past together and the 'old flame' will always remain.
