The thing that always gets me about this song is the lyric “I’ll never see your body walking through the city streets.”

It’s such a powerful emphasis. Anna-Lynne could’ve easily sang “I’ll never see you,” but that’s not what happened. It’s not just the person as a whole. It’s their body. Its their physicality, their physical nature. It’s not cheap, though. It acknowledges the body as part of identity and existence. 

Adding text after the fact.

I love this song. It feels like a very flavor of life piece, and I love that it tells a story of youth and innocence. The POV of the lyrics and music is something I never had a chance to experience, so having something like this is nice to get a taste of it.
