The story of how Brandon met his wife, Tana.

I think it's just about how he appreciates that his wife has stuck by him through everything. It starts with their meeting and skips through the years. He's "see[n] the time drippin' down the clock" and "[she's] still here" and she'll continue to sick by him "Standing on stone, you stand beside me and honour the plans that were made."

In terms of the actual music though, I just have to say wow. Such a beautiful song! Lanois did it again. I love the sampling/alteration of Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side' -Mark is great- and the way in which Brandon speak-sings the first couple of verses (especially the "and she said" and "and I said to her."

Song Meaning

I'm not surprised his wife stuck with him through everything, I would!
