ObsceneFairy - you are wrong on so many points here. Delta has not, as you described "exploited the cancer for all its worth". As with most celebrities who have an illness, including, cancer - they use their fame to promote support and awareness for certain charities or illness sufferers. This is what Delta has done. She has NOT sold her story to every magazine she can find, only very few. And she is not "pumping the public for sympathy". She is a celebrity - meaning she is out there in the public eye. If your favourite star was ill, of course you would feel sorry for them. Delta did not ask for sympathy, the public willingly gave it to her. Anyone who goes through something like cancer, and lives to tell the tale is brave. Obviously you just don't know what it's like. But then again, that's not such a big loss to society.
Regarding the song, the lyrics are so beautiful, and it's easy to see that they relate both to Delta's cancer and her relationships. However, she has said herself that to every person who hears the song, it means something different - everyone can take it in their own way. Definitely one of my favourites.
