I can't stand when beautiful songs have no comments on them, so i feel i needed to make it at least to one.

I love how this song contains many allusions to different periods and moments of unappreciation in his life, as though reminiscing upon his life to all these times where things could have gone better for their relationship.

I don't know anyone that hasn't taken his/her mother for granted during their lives. It isn't until you lose the connection that the regret sinks in.

I lost my mother 7 years ago. When I hear this song, I feel her near me and the words come off like a subtle prayer to her. There's no medicine that can cure my regret and sorrow for her like this song.
