Story Behind The Song
There is a version of this song with lyrics. It's from the viewpoint of a mountaineer who is swept into an alpine crevasse by an avalanche while climbing on a glacier. He thinks of his wife, and sees her watching him with a gentle smile as he feels his life ebbing away. This instrumental version was intended to capture the spirit of the song without words.
