The song is haunting and doesn’t leave your head, easily.
You literally see the vast, empty, lonely space he’s working in, from above, and the sheer isolation jarringly brings that “need you” more than “want you” palpably to your heart.
You feel life is sadly solitary and the gift of another who loves you is everything. Then you realize she, too, is alone, save for you and your marriage.
In the end, the song seems brutal in its effect, while teaching you the desperate lives we have are nothing without love and God.
