It was December 4th, 2010. I had just moved out of my mothers house after an argument, I went to stay with my father. Christmas day rolled on so very quickly, the snow was still visible outside. In the morning, we went to see some family, I didn't like it one bit then. After sitting there for an hour, my father took me home, I sat there on my own, listened to this song and my whole mind changed. Thank you Anathema.
its always the shortest songs like these that have the deepest meanings. truly out of this world how anathema can pinpoint and bring out ones innermost feelings in a mere 3 minutes...One of their absolute bests
These words aren't pessimistic, I believe it points out how man doesn't know the depth of happiness and love until the hour of separation when all is already lost because of inhibition and fear. Which is bad behaviour and must be worked on to bring back balance and harmony in life again.

God...this is absolutly one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard..it brings tears to my eyes everytime....much love from a metal head my brothers..
Heard this song so much about ten years ago. Over and over. Now on this quiet lonely eve I once again am listening to the same song. This is art at its very finest - it still goes all the way in....
By the way, what happened to my once favored Heroes? Seven years without any new stuff (left aside Hindsight) might be considered as a rather long creative pause.......
@d00mster we don't necessarily wait for the end to realise our deepest feelings...it's just that 'the end' is a punishment that makes us realise our feelings whether or not we want to.
I was listening to this fo the first time ever, and I saw a man in a red and white pinstripe shirt walk down the aisle and throw water out of a bucket on the carpet so we could splash our feet in it.
Well thats the point mate.You can never realise the power that a loved one has on you.You can feel it only when you sleep alone at night,when you cry without a shoulder to lean your head on.Even the most common thing he/she did will be missed.
@rooftrelen to my mind, anathema's lyrics are the only true words that i've ever listened in my life)) thats why i love this band! and you understand everything exactly the way i do...
I was born again a month ago when i attended Anathema's concert in Istanbul, i've spent 54 hours in a bus to see them and i'm proud that i listened to this song live))) I've danny's a ticket signed by danny and i shook his hand and said how much i love these guys :D
@deka136 hehe my brother caught a pick that Vincent threw in a concert.This August im seeing them live with Porcupine Tree.Damn thats gonna rock hard :)
@rooftrelen Anathema and PT have concert in Athens on 9th of September and my friend and me want to travel to Greece, but it's difficult for georgians to get shengen visa... nevertheless, i hope everything will be alright and my second dream will come in true in two months :D
how does this remind you of nice things? he is saying that the only thing that will make him realize how much he loves her, is her getting to the point of leaving him. how is that nice?
Well what I find nice about the song is that I would rather lose something and feel how special it was than having it and never really realising it. Oh, btw, maybe next time you can realise it while still having it
anathema anathema anathema they are so good and the music they play even the lyrics they are so good, listen to their songs guys they are mazing, lsn to the song [flying]
I bought this album the day it came out. i remember hearing this song and instantly loving it the most. "Feel" and "regret" are also great from this album. I love the echo on the lead guitar at the end. AWESOME melody
One of the songs that seems perfect and not enough at the same time, a beautiful reverberation of a lonely teardrop falling in a still ocean of solitude, giving birth to a motion that will linger unseen into the farthest depths of memory... sorry, didn't make much sense... i just love this song, goes great with the immage too

In the silence i imagine ur voice, the voice ive never really heard talking to me.
The day comes to an end and im left alone again.
I wish there were no moments for you in life to sigh for.
There is no love to die, at least there isnt any unconditional love..
But i thank God for realising what you mean to me although i dont have the strength to admit it to you..to myself..
