From a wishful-thinking type perspective, I would like to think that this is Nick Thorburn, who I assume wrote the song, feeling sentimental about his former partner in music, Alden Penner, the guy with whom Nick created the band "The Unicorns." Somehow, I doubt this hypothesis is true, but I figured it would be an interesting thing to propose. I have no idea what happened between the two, but it mustn't have been good if they each have their own separate musical pursuits now and refuse to work with each other. A shame, I guess you could call it.
