Melissa wrote this song in honor of Matthew Shepard, who was brutally tortured and murdered in 1998 for being homosexual. The scarecrow reference refers to the fact that the people who found him first assumed his broken body to be that of a scarecrow. May Matthew's memory live on and help to foster acceptance and understanding in the future.
