I just want to cut the song and listen to 6:47- 7:34 over and over again.

[Mitchell Martin]

This is the saddest, greatest thing I have ever heard from her.

[Anaïs Bokanovsky]

This is a song for every woman who had to part from her baby without even knowing it, and who doesn't find the words to talk to him/her

[Turtleproof]

The police bloody my face, my fiance is alienated, at the end of my life's path this is what is left for me. A beautiful song before I leave.

[Giovanni Ferrini]

Nah son. I think the most gorgeous part is the hushed beginning.

[Turtleproof]

An incomparably beautiful song, no matter how many times I listen, such achingly sweet pacing and marvelous sounds.

[aapesos]

absolutely --it give me shivers

[thatlitelite]

What a beautiful voice. I came to this song thinking it was about a her losing a child not by choice but it seems to be about abortion by choice. So sad.

[happyblackness]

That's interesting - that's my least favourite part! Its still my favourite of all her songs.

[happyblackness]
