It’s like having my right arm missing. I pad about the flat feeling lost... He’s my best friend.” She movingly expressed the resigned sadness of their frequent goodbyes in her lovely song from this period, called “Gone Into the Sun”—‘Just one last look before you leave me, just one last look before you go; be careful now, the light is fading… and I'm so scared of being alone/Hold me closely in the darkness, let me feel that you are near…just one last look and you'll be gone… oh, gone… into the sun. ’ I adore this song; it’s so melancholy…you can almost see the airplane disappearing into the sunset."
so yes, I am a huge fan of this song, and I think it was actually quite personal.

Christine makes me cry whenever I hear her sing about someone going away, a lover not there, lonliness, etc. I never heard this one before. What else is there she did before Rumours in that vein? I want to get sad again!
