I'd imagine this track would sound pretty solemn if played with just the piano. But something about the arrangement of the crunchy guitars, the DJ Method tracks, the piano....makes it so creepy. And then when the heavy guitars and drum come in towards the end makes it sound like she's really really pleading.
I can't imagine writing this song, when I first heard it I thought it was eeiry, and now it's just super sad for me to hear it. I finally put together all the pieces and well, it's one of my favorites on the album. It's amazing how raw her emotions are in this piece. I never thought she would write such a literal piece about her sister's death, I imagined Hello was about it but it was so metaphorical to be sure. This song is so beautifully arranged, not just slow and ballady like Hello, but takes it to another level.
This is where the song hit me in the heart and fall in love with it:

You're not alone
no matter what they told you you're not alone
I'll be right beside you forevermore

I long to be like you, sis
lie cold in the ground like you did
there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
and as we lay in silent bliss
I know you remember me

What an awesome video this would make....it's so visual. We can all dream I guess...
