Content
Text and musical component
This is a song about love and long absence from home due to traveling. She is dedicated to Corey Taylor's ex-wife, who helped him overcome his alcohol addiction and saved him from suicide. [2]
| I have never written anything like this before, but this is very important for me: to tell the world not only how it saved me, but how much it means to me. [3]Corey Taylor |
From the point of view of the musical component, the song is not very typical for the group's work precisely because of the involvement of a professional pianist in the recording. The song begins with chords on the piano, after which Corey Taylor begins to sing. Then connect drums, bass guitar and acoustic guitar. Before the final verse should guitar solo on the electric guitar. The song ends with a gradually decreasing piano part.
There is also a “pop version” of this song. It differs from the landscape version in the absence of the final guitar solo and slightly modified vocals, as a result of which the song is shorter than the landscape one.
