Very touching. More than once it's brought a tear to my eye. Anyone who's been, or is, in love, will know what I mean. |

From a casual reading, I'm getting an image of a spouse sitting by the bedside of their dying partner. |

No thanks. That's what it sounds like to me. I'm not fond of it. Except for that image of the glowing nose on the sign. |

I think it was primarily composed by Neil Innes, or at least co-written. |

Nice song. It's even better when it isn't played on the heels of Mumford & Sons' "Timeshel" and Dolores O'Riordan's "Black Widow". This set blows.
Hey! The Staple Singers! Yeah, take me there!

Major to minor during "I'll follow you into the dark"...brilliantly done. Very pleasing. Pluralizing 'No'...by saying "Nos" sounds funny to me...but hey...no rules in lyric writing, right? Great tune.

I know it's repetitive, and I smile when I mishear the line "illuminate the nose"... But it's simple, sweet and haunting, and I'm inordinately fond of it.
