It's one of my favorite songs... ever. I don't get tired of it. They have a live version available on youtube (Live from Rhythm & Roots) that's just mesmerizing. This song is one that makes me both happy, sad, and peaceful all at the same time. If you have ever truly, deeply loved someone and had to separate from them because they wanted or needed something/someone else to be happy... you'll identify. You can love a person with your entire heart and not be enough for them, or even be destructive together. It can be for any myriad of reasons... but the take away is that no matter what, you continue to love them and to hope to always be with them in some small way. It takes a lot of reflection, healing, and emotion work to get to this stage of acceptance after such heartbreak. In my opinion, it's one of the purest love songs that there is.
