For God's sake. This is my first negative comment in 3 years of listening.

See the tree
How big it's grown ....

...and Honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

I was thinking this was a nod to Halloween.......along the lines of "I want my baby back"......

Painful, sad and tragic. An uncomfortable but moving listen. An important story of how a single sudden death can affect so many others. I feel a lump in my throat :'(

Stunned me the first time I heard it...one of the first songs I ever heard on RP. Still a stunner! Amazing, haunting, beautiful and sad.

Thanks for posting this. I took the time to read it. Very sad.

I died in a car crash two days ago
was unrecognizable
when they pulled me from the gears
no one's fault, no one's bottle
no one's teenage pride or throttle
our innocence is all the worse for fears
the other walked away alive
arms wrapped now around his wife

my lover sits, the silent eye
in a hurricane of warmth and word
my mother trembles with the sobs
whose absence seems absurd
my sister shouts to let her see
through the cloud of crowd surrounding me
my colleagues call for silence in my name

I died in a car crash three months ago
they burned me 'til I glowed
and crumbled to a fine gray sand
now I am nothing, everywhere
several breaths of strangers' air
and all thoughts ever written in my hand
they plant my tree out in the yard
it grows but takes the winter hard

my lover puts a knife to wrist
says tomorrow comes, hold on a while
my mother tosses in the sheets
and dreams me holding my own child
my sister plays our homemade tapes
laughs as tears stream down her face
my office door now bears a different name

I died in a car crash four years ago
my tree drinks melted snow
just eight feet tall a pale and fragile thing
bee stings beaches bright vacations
sunburnt high-school graduations
a sparrow healing from a broken wing
this year a glimpse of second chances
tiny apples on my tree's branches

my lover hears the open wind
and crawls blinking into the sun
my mother leafs through photographs
and thinks "yes she was a lovely one"
my sister can't decide her truth
asks aloud what I might do
in a conference hall my brief efforts engraved

I died in a car crash
a lifetime ago it seems
been a decade or two or three
they've just released a new design
bars and bags front and behind
my fate now an impossibility
safely packaged hurtling down
the highway hardly make a sound

my lover very much alive
arms wrapped now around his wife

Oh, this is just lovely. Apparently I *was* in the right frame of mind for it, it caught me by surprise but left me teared up and goosebumpy.

Um, the connection is what again? crash?

This song shocked me when I first heard it, but it describes so well how life goes on after a tragedy.

Wow, what a find.

Certainly a time and place piece of music, but I'm looking forward to buying the album based on that one song.

Thanks Bill!

Again, thanks Bill for introducing me to Vienna Teng...the first time I saw her play live, which was a fantastic experience, she played this song and it was just so powerful! I do agree it's depressing, and fun while in the car when listening to the album, but I can't possibly skip the track either :-)

Am I the only one who feels like hurling themselves off the nearest bridge now?

Geez, cheer up woman! Get a puppy or something.

Wow, such harsh comments for such a powerful and touching vocal performance. Okay, sure, it's depressing... but still impressive.

Seems that someone ought remind Ms. Teng - "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".
