This song is about the death of 7-year old Katie Flynn. Hours before her death, Katie was the flower girl at her aunt’s wedding, spreading petals down the aisle. As they left the wedding, they all got into a limousine and headed home. Martin Heidgen, 25, had had at least 14 drinks that night and his blood alcohol content (0.28) was more than three times the legal limit in New York (0.08). He drove more than two miles north in the southbound lane containing the Flynn family. Both the driver of the limousine, Stanley Rabinowitz, and Katie were killed instantly. Katie was decapitated and her mother held her head as rescue workers helped the rest of the family out of the vehicle.

I actually prefer to take this as an incredibly strong love song, although I know the story is slightly different. The ending still gives me goosebumps. - word.

The intensity as it builds toward "seven" at the end is intensely amazing.

I absolutely love the bit where he counts to seven and can't count any further. I can't quite put my finger on why but it is really chilling.

"I should be laughing right now..." gets me every time when the guitars break. Those back vocals, the guitars, the distortion effects all just build and explode. This and Weezer's "Only In Dreams" have to be my favorite epic climaxes of songs. Both absolute masterpieces...the tragedy and emotion behind this particular song may give it more power though. Not necessarily the song I prefer.

This song has made me cry quite a few times. The Devil and God... is one of the greatest albums ive ever heard.

Favorite song off TDAGARIM <3! Sad story, RIP Katie Flynn! I love these three lines "and in the choir I saw our sad Messiah.....but never again". It would be very chilling to hear God's son, the man who in biblical canon was to have died for your sins, say that. I dunno, maybe I'm just seeing Jesus as the man to be most sympathetic for and the one to provide you the most sympathy ala "the prince" in Dostoevsky's "The Idiot".

Eventhough the story is totally different, you could take the chorus as amazingly strong love song.

In the choir, I saw our sad Messiah. He was bored and tired of my laments. He said, "I died for you one time, but never again." is quite possibly my favourite Brand New line.
