I think it's about a mother, but it's always seemed to me that it was about how a child sees his mother. Innocently, gently, and with need. But you should listen to the song really, the sound of it has a physical feeling of symbiosis. Very circular, very soft. If you have children, or you've ever watched a woman feed her newborn, it's just almost sacred. Inevitably there will be this soft moment where you see how woman and child are connected, and time kind of stops. This song is the literal sound of that moment. Can't say enough good things about Phillips, he's got magic for moments like that.
This is a gorgeous song, really gorgeous.
