Many thanks for filming, Randy. The structure of this fine song, composed by Erika herself in 2009, has always puzzled me. On the reedless 'Six Feet Down' album, they played it in G, in a very spirited performance, slightly quicker than this. Now they are playing it in F - fair enough, as Erika's voice has matured. It seems to consist of 32 bars like many songs, but then to add an 'optional' 16 more. On the original, Erika sang those 16 bars only once. On this latest performance, she again sings them only the first time round (from 52 seconds 'For the stars still shine...' where the harmony seems to drop to Bb minor). After that, having worked through the 32 bars, Craig seems puzzled at 1 minutes 51 about whether he and Shaye are meant to play the other 16 or not; but Shaye DOES play them. Then, when Erika picks up the vocal again (from 2 minutes 09 secs), she sings the principal 32 bars but omits the 16, leaving the other two to play not those 16 but rather the final 16 of the 32 again to round things off. My head hurts!

Incidentally, I'm thinking of having this played and sung at the end of my funeral - are the lyrics available anywhere online?
