Discuss: Songbird

I was never really into this song when I first became a fan. I thought it kind of dragged the album down a bit, an OK piano ballad but nothing special. Then someone close to me died, and I heard it with an entirely different perspective. I know Chris didn't write it about someone's death (I don't think she did, correct me if I'm wrong) but it's come to represent this loss for me. It can still bring a tear to my eye if I'm in the right mood (or I've been drinking .) Now I think it's stunningly beautiful. Her voice is so pure & smooth on this track, it's just gorgeous.

I also think that it was the perfect closer for Mac shows. Perfect. Although I hate it when she squeezes in "goodnight everybody" in between the "like never before's"
