I suspect that Neil's father's battle with dementia had a lot to do with this song. When you care for someone with Alzheimer's or something similar, you're forced to face the reality that not even memories are permanent.
This song is so heart-achingly beautiful because it reminds us what a wonderful world we live in, but also that everything we know and love will eventually fade away.
