The story behind the song

This song captures the raw ache of a love lost, particularly when a partner has departed because they "needed" to. It speaks to the recurring grief, the familiar sting of sorrow that arrives like an unwelcome visitor, just as it did "so many times before." Co-written with Nancy Farnsworth, the mother of Jackson Browne's late wife, Phyllis Major, the song appeared on his 1976 album The Pretender. It channels the feeling of being left in the dark, while the person you long for is now "out of sight." At its heart, it's a poignant reflection on enduring heartbreak and the shadow of absence.
