A story I've heard about this song is it was wrote in memory of a friend who died young.

Another one that he did (Heard a radio interview where he said that this song was in memory of a couple of fellow musicians that he had known):

Supposedly he wrote "The Pretender" after learning of his wife's suicide too. And the song "Here Comes Those Tears Again" was about her and co-written with her mother.
