In episode 719 Quentin tells Magda the reason he likes the song so much telling her "I read somewhere where every person has a theme of music, well this is mine, when I'm alone depressed I can play this and suddenly I'm not in this room or this house, I'm free somewhere, somewhere exciting."
Shadows of the night, falling silently,
Echo of the past—calling you to me.
Haunting memory, veiled in misty glow,
Phantom melody, playing soft, and low.
In this world that we know now
Life is here, then gone.
