The power of this song shocked me the first time I heard it. I mean this thing hit me like a ton of bricks.
There is a world weariness and crystalline clear sense of despair and hope that fill this song to an emotional breaking point. The lyrics are written in a highly poetic, Dylanesque style here, and the music behind the words slowly builds and crescendos until the singer finally snaps with fire and fury, the singer looking back on the life of a long relationship that's come crashing down around him, not of his own choosing.
This is gut bucket soul music of an extremely high caliber. I don't know. It's pretty amazing stuff. For a good example of what I'm saying, watch Daniel's performance of this on Seth Meyers. It's powerful, it's moving, and I practically dread what must be in the mind of the singer as this is pouring out of him.
