When I was a little kid, I watched a show called Reading Rainbow. There was one episode that dealt with death and what it meant. To emphasize this theme, the featured book that episode was a story about an old man who died and how his friends dealt with it. There was a sequence in the book where he passed into the next life while asleep, and that's what this song reminds me of. I'm not even sure why, but that episode made me bawl when I watched it as a child, and this song sort of evokes the same feeling, a very specific sadness I can't quite put my finger on.

Sorry if that didn't make any sense.
