Same here.

I agree. My mother died 3 months before the album came out. When I got
the album I read the lyrics first and when I got to "All The Love" I
broke down crying. It was very, very hard to listen to the song, and so
many times I just couldn't, I would have to skip it. Even now I couldn't
listen to it if I'm in the wrong mood. It's a very powerful song.

Oh yes <sigh>. After finally seeing the "video" (the Wogan), and seeing 
Kate's facial expressions, I love the song (MoP) even more.
