This song has a personal meaning. In 1997 my girlfriend was a heroin addict and i was just getting out of a jail for teens. We just had a daughter and right after she was born her mother started to do drugs again and for more then 3 years she barely saw us. I was 17 and raising a child alone. My aunt helped a lot and i was clean for the most time. When my daughter was 3,5 yrs old she got sick and died in the hospital. One month later her mother, my girlfriend killed herself because the guilt of not being there for her child was too much. Around that time i heard this song and i broke down and cried because it was like it was about us. 14 years later it still makes me emotional when i hear it. Daniel Johns is such a gifted songwriter. He was 16 or 17 when i wrote it. Im a singer/songwriter as well and i have a band since 1994. We are Inspired by Nirvana and Silverchair
