Composed by Nathaniel White. Contemporary. Octavo. 6 pages. Nathaniel White #4301465. Published by Nathaniel White (A0.1032044).This song is about a married woman. Every step she takes, her husband supports her. She is enveloped in his world, and he is enveloped in her's. Suddenly, this man dies. She is overtaken by this lonely feeling. Her better half has just been stolen from her.
The word, "Falling", is repeated to describe the fact that she knows that she is falling down a bottomless pit called her heart. The words, "I can't hear a sound" are said to describe that not only is she blinded by her grief but she is deafened as well. She cannot focus on the world around her because her grief consumes her. The words, "I want to go home" are spoken to describe that her husband was her home. She had her safety net ripped from underneath her and it will never come back. The words, "I want to be free" are spoken in unison with the entire choir to describe that everyone feels this way at least once in their life. They all have been thrown into a cell that some call the heart, and they've lost the key.
The last portion is the same as the beginning portion because the woman is remembering her husband in all of his glory. The last chord ends in major because she has had the epiphany that he lives on, within her memories.
