stabbing westward is a great band because of their way with music and Chris Hall's way with Lyrics. It is a shame they broke up, but Chris has a new band called the Dreaming they sound a lot like stabbing westward visit theit site. www.thedreamingonline.com

i love this song.. its one of my faves.. i have many faves of stabbing westward.. i love them.. i have all their cds.. im like obsessed.. lol.. anywayz.. what the song means to me is you think you've lost all hope of everything.. then this one person comes in and changes everything.. cuz he/she is so unlike anyone else that they gave you hope, reason, love, everything.. and once you have that.. you feel so real and free..

this song summed up my feelings for my first love, but things fell apart (see lyrics to perfect for that) and I miss her more everyday
