Just to be clear - the below piece is NOT written by me.

Recently rediscovered this song. While the singing is still excellent, the lyrical quality is incredible. I am both impressed and jealous of it. Capable of instilling a strong sense of sadness, but at the same time hints of happiness and hope, the song truly is spectacular. There are so many different interpretations possible, all with their own array of emotions tied with them.

Listen to it here: The Call - Regina Spektor

Here are the lyrics:

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back when you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
