Most compelling "biography" song ever written, IMO. I remember when my grandmother died, I kept myself together like a good man and read a touching eulogy. On the drive from the church to the cemetery this song came on the radio... somewhat ironically. No one else in my family noticed it and the mood had gone from somber to light-hearted anyway. But when it got to the bridge where he mentions the Empress of India I completely a totally lost it a sobbed like a baby.

@Matty Dubs Your own reminiscence made my cry as well. Here's to your grandmother's memory.
