"I was actually with him when he went away; everybody else was having dinner, and they didn't want to bug him so I got to sit with him for a good, long time. It was a very good experience, believe it or not. If you ever want a powerful experience, be near someone you love when they pass away. Try to get all your stuff out of the way before that happens so you're not being all remorseful.... And it's quite incredible."
This song is about the death of Glen's father.
