I don't think you'd be alone either ... actually I KNOW you wouldn't be ... ;-)
you wouldn't be corny, nor weak nor anything like that ...
I think the song is MEANT to inspire thought and emotion ...

You aren't alone, don't worry. This song is amazing and one of my favorites definitely!

I agree with Kevin- i think its a fan who she went to visit- like she says about a 'day out from the ICU' and the 'song she likes'. I also don't think the fact that she held her necessarily rules the fact that Annie might be a fan out of the question- i think its perfectly understandable for Vanessa to hold a dying, little girl in her arms.  Such a sad song- think how amazed Annie's parents must be though! I love the line "Stronger than the hands that hold you.".

whether it's a fan or not. I like to think that it is. It makes the song that much more bittersweet. Vanessa is such a talent with her words. I bow down to her greatness! :roll:  I love this song.

I suppose the question about Annie has been answered ... with the Brazilian interview clamicas posted ...

I wonder if she actually ends up passing away like in the song ...
This song was a reality shock when I first heard it ... it really moves one to tears ....
And now there's a "real" story behind it ... It's not just a song anymore. It's not a random abstract song that "can" or "may" happen ...
Vanessa is sharing an experience ...
Annie existed and now she's not here ...

it's so so sad.

are you sure she is not around anymore?

are you sure she is not around anymore?

V never said she died...

[HappyZen]

are you sure she is not around anymore?

Well I've always assumed that yes she did .. :-?

My justifications ..
The doctor says now it won’t be long
Doctors ONLY say this when they are almost 100% sure that whatever it is is incurable ... otherwise, doctors always hold out hope ...
But even still there is the possiblily ... no matter how small for a miracle.
It continues...

She comes to me like a piece of summer
She come to me on the days when I need it most
Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever

HOW does she come? Not physically obviously .. she "comes" in rememberance ... and in thought ...
when people low and down and out with the world some give up and think of how much they CAN"T do, but others find inspiration in the memory and thought of others .. those that fought for life and struggled to SURVIVE ...

So Annie is the summer, becuase in the winter time when it's raining, and the weather is melancholoy and you're not feeeling so bright, you think of the summer, and summer is traditionally associated with fun and happiness and freedom (you know 3 months break from Uni etc etc)
Annie is likened to the summer because she hold hope and fun and happiness and viabrance, so when the V is down, she remembers Annie ...

but of course nothing lasts forever, and the "summer dies" ...

More to life than trying to survive .. ......
You’re so fine the way you stand up to your fears
Summer dies and it’s just moments we had together
I’d give my bones for you to get a few more years

Annie accepted the fact that she didn't have long to go, and rather than trying to hang on with whatever treatments they proposed ... "trying to survive" she accepted that there was nothing anyone could do ...
she feared death, as we all do ... but she stood up to it and accepted it ... and faced it head on, and made the most of the rest of her time?

And then, now that Annie has passed away, all we have are the memories ... we can keep a person "alive" thru' memory, but they are physically gone.

AND THEN ... FINALLY
Watch her as the flew deep into the blue
Watch her as she slips away from you

"flew into the deep blue" for me symobolized
her spirit ascending to the heavens ... the blue being the sky.


and it's the past tense ... FLEW ..
so it HAPPENED .. not "will happen" or ther eis a chance it WON"T happen ... it's HAPPENED because she "flew" already.
Slipping away .. ascending higher and higher ...
When some one slips away, it generally means they're passed away ...

ok I think I'll go cry now ... :-(

I don't know.
I'm wrong ... I'm right. It's how I heard it.

Somone will have to ask vanessa ;-)

[Chloe]

woah...



hey I think I might know where Stevie Nicks is on here.... you know in the end of the song, the second "watch her as she flew deep within the blue" line, there's like backup vocals going like aaahhh aaahh aaaahhh ahhh ahh ahhhhh or whatever.... I thought that sounded kinda like Stevie... *shrug* :?

[amberbeads]

are you sure she is not around anymore?

V never said she died...

How exactly would you explain, "I've been keeping company with ghosts?"
I'm not clear as to whether Nessa is saying it or if Annie is (a dying girl whispers in my ear), but either way, if Annie said it, duh, it's obvious what's going on, she's DYING, and if Nessa is thinking it then "she comes to me like a piece of summer... she comes to me the times when I needed it most" along with the ghost line means that the memories of the *dead* Annie are ghosts... In that case it can be both figurative (memories) or literal (dead Annie's ghost).
Either way, I think she's dead. If she was dying then...

Harmonium`s tracklist has a song ¨Annie ¨, who is she a fan,a relative? (that´s my question hehe)
VC:She´s a girl I met on tour.Her real name is Victoria.She is beautiful and intelligent, but she is sick...leuchemia

She is sick. Meaning she's still alive.

[emmy]

well maybe victoria is just victoria, and annie is based on victoria, but not totally 100% ... so maybe annie is dead, and this other girl is not?

okay, that prolly made absolutely no sense.
