@Sour Girl thanks for your insight and opinion! Amazing lyrics, amazing voice, amazingly talented band. My favorite band when I was growing up in the 90's. I'm so glad I looked for the meaning of this song... the lyrics are so personal, sincere, and well written (qualities I think are missing in today's music). "Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine" is the reason I looked this up. Maybe just a swap of sing a song and pick a yellow nectarine? Or maybe it's a personal inside joke or use of words between him and the girl that is not supposed to make sense to anyone else? Well that line is what originally brought me here. Another thing that's missing in today's lyrics (mystery). But I'm glad you shared your opinion, it makes a lot of sense. Very sad song, listening to it so soon after he passed away. One of my favorite lines and I think where the song meaning comes from is "love is still and sweat remains a cherished gift, unselfish feeling... oh I'd beg for you... oh, you know I'll beg for you". I agree with you, I think he is saying his love Still Remains and to him it's a cherished gift and unselfish feeling that will always remain with him.
