[Lethas1]

This song reminds me of my father... his name was robert and while he was having a heart attack no one could hear him cry as mentioned in the song...

They saw him a few minutes after it happened and took him to the hospital... he died 5 minutes after I got there (I didn't see him die) I saw his corpse in a small room and after that he was cremated and never seen again.

I'll never forget him (till I die, of course)... my life changed completely after that day, this song makes me cry.

Thanks for sharing this story Lethas1. Best wishes to you.
