Well Queens of the Stone Age were requested, and here they are. This is off their most recent album, (although they've got a new one out in August, yippee!) and basically addresses why there was such a big gap between the previous album and that one. Basically, a couple of years before the song was written, Josh Homme had a near-death experience, fell into a coma and spent the following 8 months bedridden and deeply depressed. The official story at the time was that it had been a car or motorbike accident but the reality was he was in for surgery and there were massive complications.
Anyway, he wrote this song as he contemplated the big "what if", what if he had died on the operating table, would his wife miss him? Still love him? Even remember him. So while the song never explicitly mentions death, it's woven right into it. Hope it's acceptable because a 6 minute song that's mostly Barre chords is a pain in the area to play!
