There's really not so much to tell.
She was 29, showing signs of doing well
for herself.
She never spoke of feeling sad.
Was, oh, so close with the family and friends
she had around her.
But she went quietly.
She didn't make a sound.
She went quietly
with the wish not to be found.
She went quietly
without a word of where.
Just a note that wrote:
"Forgetting is easier."
Years have fallen since the day
she wrote the note and chose to float away
into the Ether.
Someone said they saw her south
at the coast on the river's mouth,
but only briefly. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/charlie_winston/she_went_quietly.html ]
'Cause she went quietly.
She didn't make a sound.
She went quietly
with the wish not to be found.
She went quietly
without a word of where.
Just a note that wrote:
"Forgetting is easier."
She went quietly.
She didn't make a sound.
She went quietly
with the wish not to be found.
She went quietly
without a word of where.
Just a note that wrote:
"Forgetting is easier."
Out of the blue, in the pouring rain,
to my doorstep, old and cold today she came,
with her story.
I asked her in, but she declined.
Had just one, single thing to get off her mind.
And, that was, "Sorry."
I heard him live yesterday and he told two stories about this song. The first one tells that his parents owned a hotel when he was little and his aunt looked after him and his little sister, but someday she was tired of family and things and wrote this note and went away. The other one is about a couple who often checked in at the hotel of his parents and they adopted a two-year-old girl. 16 years later she was allowed to look for her real parents and when she found them she stayed with them a left her adoptive parents. So both women went quietly... (sorry for mistakes, but english isn't my native language)

It's about a girl who was feeling so sad deep down inside but it never showed it and everyone saw that she was doing fine and she wasn't harming herself in any way. She just needed to get away and after years have passed she came back older in the pouring rain to apologize for her leaving without a notice and she said "sorry" but she didn't want to get back together anymore... It's a simple story yet a very sad one :( :( :(

I sensed helplessness, people see she was doing fine, that's what she want people see, deep in side, she is beyond depressed, she want to have happiness. She is not going to suicide, because she is only 29, but she felt like dying.

I think it's talk about suicide, and when he say people had seen her, it's in their heart, like when you miss so much somebody,that you imagine talk to this person ... It's a wonderful song ...

She was a person with difficult in talk.. Something wasn´t good and she went away,maybe she needs to know how it could be! With years and time,she came ack to tell him that it wasn´t that what she wants for life,but maybe stay wwith him! Silent persons-life options

Even though everyone thought she was doing ok, i believe she was depressed in spite of having her family and being near them. But something happened that at some point she needed to go away not telling anyone so she could deal with whatever she was going thru by herself. And then at some some she ended up checking on something (family, one she loved ) to see they were ok. Trying to forget what ever caused her problems or problems with one she loved. And after years she finally had the courage to go to whom ever and apologize for whatever may have happened to cause the rift she felt she caused

I think it's about observing someone from afar, seeing thier life and thinking it's good. Then you get to know that maybe it's not so good, so she leaves. I think that she felt she was poisoning the society she was in and then could no longer stay. But her ties were so deep she kept her eye on the people (saw her south) and eventually had to apologise, not only to them, but to herself. She robbed herself of a beautiful life.

I got the feeling of suicide when i heard this song... Such a beatiful and heartbreaking song

I think that she committed suicide, and it was unexpected because she had a good life with friends and a future. She wasn't happy though, so she ended her life without an explanation to her friends and family, and she felt guilty for it.
