- Is a Dine' phrase meaning in loose translation, "I miss you", or "my heart longs for you". There is no accurate way to articulate this phrase in the English language.
- "Ayoo'ii'niin'shnii'" is translated as "I love you", but the closest literal translation would be something like "my life is for you".
- "Shii' Awee', haa'goo'" loosely translates as "my sweet child, my precious one, come here".
For purposes of the song, I've taken wide liberty with the words, intending them to send a message from my heart, one that I pray my child hears. However, in the context from the listener's point of view, the song is about a lost love, one that holds tremendous regret for the break up of a relationship.

| Working on this video was a sheer joy. Brian M, our camera operator, was awesome. He kept looking for those hard to get angles, because on the salt, the sun is reflected everywhere. We had to contend with wind, rain, heat, wet salt, sand, truckers driving by, all the while being concerned with a very expensive piano, a very expensive brass bed, and trying to beat the tornado that hit the city. When our cameraman and his room mate arrived back at their home, they found the tornado had devastated their residence. If they'd not been on the shoot, severe injury to one of them was highly likely. A foot-thick tree had penetrated a wall in their home, and was found lying in the center of their bed. | ||
