Cover art for Long Slow Goodbye lyrics by Queens of the Stone Age

Is this song not written by alain johannes about the pain he felt about the fact natasha schneider (his wife and multi instrumentalist on lullbaies to paralyze and tours)about her diagnosis with cancer and in the end her sad passing away or her "long slow goodbye" rip natasha love qotsa.

Song Meaning

it depends on when Natasha was diagnosed, given that the album came out in 2005 while she passed away in the summer of 2008. interesting interpretation, nonetheless.

@Forage17 This is what the song is, the fact that heknows that she is going to die and that he has to live with himself as she dies, slowly. The pain really does come through.

@Forage17 Makes sense to me with the ending.
