The first time I heard it, I just had this intense vision of this guy's dead kid on an autopsy table with the white coats standing over him, and him praising his child for returning his flesh to the circle of life to feed and form new babies. One of the first CC songs I heard stoned out of my gills in a friend's car, and then I look it up and he /did/ have a kid that died. It seems like 75% of the songs I've heard are him telling himself it's ok that he lost a child. what a muse...
