It pisses me off that she had such a fine gift, till corporate mongrels and the bad side of the high life took it raped it, murdered it and defiled its twitching corpse.
It's normal.. songs reminds us of memories.. That song opens up a vulnerable side of you and probably reminds you of a tough time, you might have once experienced in life..
I'm the same with Cio-Cio-San from Madame Butterfly. I'm not a big opera fan but Madame Butterfly is heartbreaking. It's the aria that kills me. Butterfly waiting on the hill, watching for her husband's ship to return. And singing about how she will feel.

One good day, we will see
Arising a strand of smoke
Over the far horizon on the sea
And then the ship appears
And then the ship is white
It enters into the port, it rumbles its salute.
Do you see it? He is coming!
I don't go down to meet him, not I.
I stay upon the edge of the hill
And I wait a long time
but I do not grow weary of the long wait.
And leaving from the crowded city,
A man, a little speck
Climbing the hill.
Who is it? Who is it?
And as he arrives
What will he say? What will he say?
He will call Butterfly from the distance
I without answering
Stay hidden
A little to tease him,
A little as to not die.
At the first meeting,
And then a little troubled
He will call, he will call
"Little one, dear wife
Blossom of orange"
The names he called me at his last coming.
All this will happen,
I promise you this
Hold back your fears -
I with secure faith wait for him.

It sounds so much more beautiful in Italian. Piccina mogliettina, olezzo di verbena. It's even more heartbreaking if you know the opera and know what is about to happen.
Poor Butterfly. :(
I'm welling up just thinking about it.
