It very well may be Jim's best song. It did prompt me to write an essay, at one point, all about the song and searching for whatever can"t be found. Knowing that the words and music were of the same man, it was more rewarding to listen to this track and try to find the meaning. I think Jim liked to hide what he really felt.
The lovers heart has been clouded black. And there's nothing you can do. It's total eclipse of the heart. To me this is Jim's most heartbreaking song. And it's what he probably lives with.
