Gladly I will be the first to comment on yet another masterpiece, this song has been on repeat since I first heard it weeks and weeks ago. How does this 79 year old man still do it, Thank you Bob. You are so cherished!

Now after that gushing is over with, onto the meaning, the very first listen I thought of it in a religious tone, kinda like Bob should have written this in the early 80's during his born-again Christianity time. But after a few listens, its taken on a different meaning, I think he's going one up higher and declaring this to God (instead of Jesus) like he has come to terms with every golden moment and every failure he's endured in his life and now has completely submitted and is ready for the big sleep. Or its just yet another perfect love-song that he's been holding long in his heart and finally decided to confess and admit that this person is THE ONE and he aint ever wandering away from her.

Either way, this new album and especially this song is breathtaking, it truly is. Thank You Bob for endless hours of beautiful meditation and self discovery, you've been with me throughout so many dark and painful moments in my life and you are loved greatly, we all have given our hearts to you. Peace
