Memphis Skyline [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRRv38uThBI], by Rufus Wainwright. He wrote it for singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley, who threw himself into a river... He's comparing Jeff's life to the myth of Orpheus, who went down to Hades to retrieve his young, newly-dead wife's soul, and who so moved the Lord of the Underworld with his mournful song that he was allowed to bring her back to life on the condition that he not look at her until they were both out of the Underworld??he lasted until they reached the very mouth, and when he reached daylight he looked back on her, still in the shadows, and she tumbled back into the land of the dead: "Farewell!"
It's difficult to understand the lyrics he's singing, but towards the end, listen for "Kiss me my darling/Stay with me until the morning." On its own, these are not moving lyrics, but when you put it in the context of Orpheus, begging his vanishing wife not to die a second time, it is so, so powerful. <3
