Definitely one of the most beautiful female singer/songwriter songs to have appeared in the past...18 years? Wow, time flies. This track first appeared in Wim Wenders movie, "Until the End of the World" way back in 1991 and I was struck by it's haunting, delicate beauty. Since then it's popped up sporadically in various media, including "Six Feet Under" and "Pay it Forward." Despite this it's never quite penetrated the mainstream, probably due to its serene, almost glacial pace. The lyrics themselves are pretty straightforward--life is beautiful and painful in roughly equal doses and one must endure the latter in order to fully cherish the former. Is it worth the price? Does any of it have meaning? No one knows.
