A sombre song by Jacobs Dream.
About the song from Art for the Ears:
"Sarah Williams is a fictional character. But it is based on true events. I think the statistics are that around 50,000 people a year get killed in the United States by drunk drivers. And we just kinda thought it was a subject that we should put out there and try to get people to think about. And especially since this song is written from the viewpoint of a man who has done something horrible. He killed someone that he loved and he's going to live with that guilt and pain for the rest of his life. We just thought that it was the appropriate time to put that song out to the general public. So hopefully people will listen to it and think about the subject.
I know somebody personally who listened to that song and it had an effect on them. Because they had lost a loved one to a drunk driver and they were holding a lot of anger and bitterness in their hearts towards that person who had committed the crime. And when they heard those lyrics, they listened to them, and it actually softened them up a little bit. Because for the first time in their lives since that poor boy's accident they realized that this wasn't a monster. This was a human being who had made a terrible mistake. A horrible decision. He did something very wrong. But he was suffering too. And that was a thought they had never had. They had never realized. This person who perpetrated this horrible thing upon them was in fact suffering along as well. So, that's kind of a good thing that came out of Sarah Williams."

Funny. The keyboards sound like they could be in an Opeth song.
