i like the way the lyrics are presented. there's no grandeur, no descriptive words. they don't tell the listener what to feel. instead, they give a simple situation, and let the listener's own creativity do the rest. let him form his own emotions.

the lyrics are even more powerful because the instrumental is minimal- basically a showcase for the story being told. there's no complexity to sway the listener's reaction one way or another.

the elements all come together so well. :)

I completely agree, well said.
