I was in living in Miami when this first came out and it's inextricable from my memory of being there. I made myself a wonderful gauzy, drape-y white curtain for the sliding glass door in my bedroom. For some reason it comes to mind when I hear this. The video is terribly cheesy. Maybe I'm jaded from watching Sons of Anarchy, but you can tell his landing was not fatal.
Besides, the song is obviously not about someone who died, but someone who left her.
