For those who think this song is too sel-indulgent, Stevie has stated that she didn't want to, nor could write this song about how other people were feeling because she didn't know. Personally I think if she HAD tried to write a more universal song it would have just come out bland and a little too trendy...like she's trying to feed off of the tragedy -- for example the country song, can't remember the singer or the song name, but I know he wrote the song and put it out right away. I want to say Alan Jackson, but I could be wrong. Even South Park made fun of him for doing that. I'm glad Stevie took a very public event and made it personal for her.
