Isn't the actual title of this song quite a bit longer? Recury 00:53, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is this song about? It sounds like it's about someone who lost a lover and/or friend in a plane crash? Is there any background on this? Any magazine articles?

Needs more on how BB took most of the royalties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.198.219 (talk) 02:43, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A source would be quite helpful. :) Jmlk 1 7 06:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never charted on Hot 100, on airplay, yes

According to Billboard, it hasn't charted on the Hot 100, here is the chart history: http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100#/artist/primitive-radio-gods/chart-history/155427?f=343&g=Singles —Preceding unsigned comment added by GD1223 (talk • contribs) 01:53, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Description in "Composition" section is likely not correct and relies heavily on one unverified source.

The reliance on a single source in this article is fairly problematic. For one, the sighted source doesn't indicate where it drew the conclusion that it does about the meaning of the lyrics. Secondly, the vast majority of the lyrics do not follow the "love song" interpretation presented in that article. The song touches on multiple topics such as life, ageing, distance between people who are once close, religion and the passage of time, and is far more likely to be discussing the meaning and interpretation of life. Without a concrete primary source indicating the true meaning of the song, we can't say that the "love song" interpretation presented in this article is accurate.

Never once in the article is the track referred to as a "love song". Furthermore, your interpretation is your own unique view on the subject, making it original research. One source is all we have right now, so it'll have to do. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 01:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
