One of her best songs ever. It's very heartfelt and makes you wonder who she's really singing it to. It's a sentiment many of us can certainly relate to, as some of our most meaningful reunions occur in our dreams, be they with friends, relatives, or lovers. Some Indians claimed you are never dead until you are forgotten. This song supports that belief in a big way-- even if the person remembered is technically still alive-- but the earlier, less jaded and more invigorated version of them is no more.
