At first I reckoned the singing killed the pretty instrumental part. I mean, if you listen to it, there's the first harpsichord-sounding thing with the wind sounds, and then the bass comes in with the strings, and it sounds so good, and when Sharon den Adel starts singing it all kinda ruins the tingly sounds.. but you get used to it after a while... and it all sounds pretty. :)
But yes, ithink it does mean the progression of life and then death thing. Actually, this was on my list of things to play at my funeral too. Wow, what a coincidence.
