    This song is a guilty pleasure of mine and part of it comes from my assumption that the concept was a revisitation to '97 Bonnie and Clyde/ Kim.

    Being a reflection of the way Kim felt about these songs, the aftermath of her being in the spotlight and how they both felt about the relationship made the song that much more powerful to me. It makes sense that this is a song that was put on MMLP2 to further display the self reflection of present day Em.

    It could also be just another one of his ambiguous love songs. Its interesting that interviewers haven't asked Em about the concept of the song as it has one of the most least straight-forward concepts in the album. Sorry for the long read. What do you guys think?



    UGGGGGGHHHH

    I've always liked this song. I always see Eminem not taking his singing seriously, but the way he melts it with a somewhat serious topic on this song works perfectly. Great way to mellow down the album and perfectly leads in the Monster.
