I absolutely LOVE this song, makes me so emotional, the lyrics, her voice, the honesty and purity of it. I listened to this non stop when I was about 15, doing my coursework and it was at that point of my life where I was feeling lost and for something amazing to happen. This song, although tells a very sad story, it's also one of glimmering hope, like a candle flickering in the dark. It may be flickering, but it's still a lit candle xX
Omg its so sad, the ending sounds like it worked out well for Danny but why does it sound so sad? I love it and it makes you wanna cry even though I think it was a happy ending.

misschipeur,
In case you didn't realise this is a VIDEO sharing site. Not a site for sharing a track laid over one frickin image of a dead feather or something. Think you need to Rent a Life, dude.
:-) actually i'm undergoing Assertion Management - my shrink thinks i let ppl walk all over me - as therapy i have to flame someone ever week - i hate doing this - actually i think laying the track over an image is a lovely,haunting concept but i'm not allowed to say it...
This is my all-time fave song! It tells such a wonderful story. I use it with my ESL classes, building it up on the board, and it never fails to generate discussion! Dido has such a beautiful voice.
i love this song absoluty

Great song. I think that in the end things work out best of Danny, Mary and the narrator. Change is tough, but in the end it works out great for all.

I love the way Dido composes songs that aren't about fluffy kittens & rainbows.
Instead she sings about things that happen in our day to day lives.
That brings a shine to my heart.
Dido brings back so many memories with my beloved Richard.
Thankyou for all you've done for us, your fans Dido.
Your a simply amazing lady!
