i cry every time i hear this song, i think about Fred dying :'(, then i think about the fact that buffy and angel are finished :'(, buffy and angel are the best shows in the world
This song reminds of my family.......Even thou Winifred "Fred" Burkle was just a character. She was a kind sweet soul. Just like my grandparents and my family.
I miss Fred too. She was the best. In a way, her story is not exactly over- not truly. There are the "After the Fall" graphic novels, and while is not quite what we Fred fans are looking for, there is more to Fred and Illyria.
omg i just pretend she didn't die. but omg i was crying so hard when Fred died. and her and Wesley finally getting together and then she dies. ugh. but omg i love Richey's voice. amazing and heartbreaking song
I love this song!!! I wept like a child whenever this came on!! And when I was 8(now 15) and Tara died, I cried so much. I think it was because it was the first episode that Amber had her name in the main credits, then she died! I was 8 so....
This song is truly heart breaking. The first time I heard was on Angel. It was one of my favorite episodes, but also my least favorite. Every time I hear this song I think about Fred's death scene.
@chimchim22 The worst part about it is that she knew she was losing her life and who she was. She was begging for a piece of who she was prior to remind her of it so she could take it with her.on her journey.
@WhoIAm818 How about Wesley finally finding peace within himself to finally admit his love for Fred.....and then his true love collapses into his arms? Heart-breaking...
It's been a while since I saw the episode of Angel when Fred dies and this song is playing, but for some reason I just started thinking of it. Strange. It's a good song.
You can get this on her 2002 CD called "Rise". My favorite Kim Richey CDs are "Kim Richey" and "Bittersweet". You can also get her 2004 CD "Collection" which is sort of a greatest hits - it has the best of her earlier songs, plus "A Place Called Home". Chinese Boxes is also very good.
After seeing the angel epidsode of Fred dying, I had to look this song up. I've seen that episode a million times, but for some reason, just happen to listen to the song, and HAD to look it up. Amazing song, and I agree, very appropriate for Fred's sad transformation into powerful Elria. The singer Kim richey sounds like Sarah MClaughlin meets Alanis Morrisett time of tone and words. Would love to hear more from this singer in the future. Anyone with footage of a concert/CD, please post! <3
Whenever someone dies on a TV show i like, and the music plays, it doesn't really get me.
But on that episode of angel, when it started that little fred montage, with this amazing song, i cried like a baby, lol. I miss Fred. And Angel!..Kim is amazing.
i know. i cant bring myself to read them. especially since cordy and fred r gone, i mean cordy visits a few times in the comics and fred comes back, but gunns a vamp etc..its not the same without it being on t.v.
Me too. I usually don't cry, and I didn't cry when any of my favorite characters on any show die - and all of my favorite characters do die - but at the end of "Shells", right after Illyria asks "Is that enough?" and this song stats playing, for some reason, I cried.
Wow its so great to hear her voice.this song gives me chills,i first heard of it through the angel episode 'Shells' which was just so sad and very appropriate for fred (the character which died).Thanks for posting
sen her in glasgow scotland few days ago ,, she better live than on you tube ,, awsome singer and took time out at end of gig to chat to myself and sign cd ,,, boy can this lady talk lol
its been 3 years since i've listened to this song, those memories..love Fred.

This song is truly heart breaking. The first time I heard was on Angel. It was one of my favorite episodes, but also my least favorite. Every time I hear this song I think about Fred's death scene.
Like I said heart breaking.

Brandi Carlile performed this song, and though she's one of my all-time favorite artists, I must say the original is spectacular!

What album can you find this song on? Only found 1 with Kim Richey (Chinese boxes I think was the name of it) but it did not contain this track =(.

I was pissed when Fred died, the episode right after her and Wes finally hooked up and all. But I have to say Illyria was kinda badass.
