It is indeed really beautiful, but also very very sad...I don't know for sure, but my guess is that Darren wrote it about a friend of his that died from AIDS. I've read that Darren was very touched by the death of a dear friend of his because of this desease and everytime I hear this song I picture this man in his dying bed and Darren visiting him and both knowing that the end of his life is close but still pretending that it's ok, still fighting to make it, dreaming of better times to come and making plans that simply won't happen, because there's no real "tomorrow"..it's so chilling. Just imagining that situation that Darren had the inmense talent to describe so vividly, the passion that he shown when he recorded it, and how ironic it is that the proximity of death in any way somehow gives you perspective of the few true important things that matter in life.
