This song is one of the few that makes me cry when I hear it. Not because it is particularly sad or depressing, but because of the simplicity of the lyrics. He's pondering the vast emptiness of the vacuum of space and the seeming meaningnessless of life, but the comforting, mellow notes that go along with his words add so much colour and warmth to the song that it almost answers his own question. Sometimes questions don't have to have answers. Sometimes things just are, and that's the beauty of life. (Just my two cents.)
