I love this song!! It's very straightforward in its meaning, but all of the real starkness and regret of it come through in the listening. Sam really adds a lot of depth to the song when he plays it. It reminds me of a book I read by William Faulkner called "As I Lay Dying". The book's about a dead women and her trip to the family burial plot and part of the book is actually narrated by the dead women, Addie. It's innovative and strikes the same kind of chord as this song. If you like this song and you like the idea of this song, I'd recommend reading "As I Lay Dying" (http://www.scribd.com/doc/14343079/As-I-Lay-Dying)
