Songfacts®:

  • This song tells the story about the death of a boy named Steven. It's not exactly clear what he died of, but the lyrics, "November 10th, a cold dark night, you could tell that something wasn't right" are probably an allusion to suicide or an accident. The song tells of everyone's loss ("A friend lost a friend, a brother lost a brother, a mother lost a son") but hints that he's never truly gone.
