i used to be a serial ben-basher, but this song changed my entire perception of his music. it draws away from his other music and ends up being a beautifully crafted piece of music. the inclusion of the piano and cello really accentuate the mood of the song, which is generally greiving. i agree that this song is about loosing a friend, from the fact that it is outlined in the lines "old friends become old strangers". loosing friends that mean so much to you can be the hardest thing in the world. ben's voice is suited to this song, its raw edge communicating the pain of loss. great song!!!
