I thought it was Easter time
The way the light rose, rose that morning
Lately you've been on my mind
You showed me the rope, ropes to climb

    Anthem of wise courage to absorb a loss. it's one of the most intimate and heartbreaking song ever written [2]

    I don't know why, but the "I hear you laugh and beg me not to dance" line is the saddest part, in my opinion. [3]

    No words for how beautiful and sad this is. I mean, it's just "we don't talk about that."

    When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still...

    The most beautiful description of remembering loss. I agree with the "I hear you laugh and beg me not to dance" sentiment. The imagery there is very strong. This song always makes me reflect on the people that have slipped away over the years.

    Tori opens her heart and her intimacy and brings the emotional and confessional to a whole new level on this song... I have never lost a close relative before, but everytime I listen to this song, I feel her grief and the feeling of missing all the good memories from her beloved brother. Makes me cry everytime I listen to this. And, btw: the line of Mr. Bojangles for me is the saddest one, I always picture her brother and whatever-mr-bojangles-is (I like to believe it's the name of their childhood dog or something nostalgic and familiar like this) in the afterlife. :p

    The intimacy of this recording, from the chuckle to the partial sob is just startling.
