Amergin, I think it's supposed to bring a lump to your throat and all that.

Have you ever heard the one with the refrain, "Strange things happen in this world"? The guy goes to the football game and meets this pretty girl and she's cold so he gives her his letterman's sweater to wear. He drives her home. Before he gets home he realizes she has his sweater so he goes back to her house to get it. Her father says is this some kind of sick joke? My daughter died a year ago tonight. He goes to the graveyard and his sweater is on her gravestone. Amazing song for a rock/pop hit. Very ghost-folky, really.
