This song is dedicated to all the girls I've loved before.
Of course to my lovely wife, Mimi, most especially!!!

Hey Rene,
Great take on a fantastic song. Love the arrangement - it brings out the darkness and sadness in the tune. Reminds me a bit of the live acoustic version that was a B-side of one of REM’s 12 inch singles. I think you can find it on the extended Document re-issue on Spotify.
And of course you also nailed the vocals!
Cheers,
Dave
