Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.5/100, a mean average of 87.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.8.

I remember seeing her in the obituaries in the Akron Beacon Journal... Damn.

The backing vocals complement Mark's vocals nicely!

Months and months later, this song is just as haunting to me as when I first heard it. Even then, this is powerful stuff here. Beautiful, and moving. I could only hope that someone might write me an elegy as heartfelt and evocative as this one.

One of the saddest songs ever written, the story just breaks my heart completely.

This song gives a beautiful "cry it at all" feeling such as Heart of Gold, but longer and more realistic
heartbreaking

I honestly don't know if song was meant to be serious or a satire.
