Sincere sympathy for a sincere song, but also check the video response of Charles Aznavour on the same subject, a mother's death in Italy. La Mama is one of the masterpieces of French chanson. English subtitles.
what a beautiful song. i love jonathon richman man hes so great. This song reminds me of my granny. Everyone will no doubt have 2 know this feeling probably more than once in there lives but no one talks about it. Amazing insight. Not as good as 'rollercoaster by the sea' though.
my heart physically hurt when i listened to this song last night. so simple and sincere.

This song is incredible. I can't remember a time when a song caused me to weep so hard. This is beauty.

In the Shepherd's Bush Empire in May, Jonathan encored with this - a beautiful and poignant way to end a great night
