I love this song. I think the idea of people liking this song less just because it's on the New Moon soundtrack is just as bad as people liking this song only because of it being on the soundtrack. I know the Twi-haters would be happier if they had music that was all Jonas Brothers or something...but I respect the fact that they have put thought into the songs they include and actually have quality soundtracks. Some artists I weren't familiar with and I ended up liking them so much I bought and enjoy previous albums. St. Vincent being one example.
But this song is so beautiful...has a real longing feeling to it. I agree with a previous poster about it being about being pushed around and down. When one feels that way...sometimes its hard to fight back against something stronger because you feel if you muster enought hope/energy to try and still fail you'll just fall further down into sadness. Don't know if that makes sense.
I wish Bon Iver & St. Vincent would collaborate on and entire album of new music. Their covers on youtube such as Neil Young's Harvest Moon are excellent.
