Any Eminem fans here listen to the new song?? It's so sad!!! Anyone interested can go to www.eminem.com and listen to it - -it's called When I'm Gone, and it's actually pretty sad. Just curious what everyone else things - - Is this truly a goodbye?? Think Em's really going to retire?

My roomate d/l the song last week and has played it every day. It is a pretty emotional song. He's gotten more personal with each album, and it seems this will be no acception.

Here's that part of the song, maybe it'll put it in perspective.... He didn't really get in a plane crash:

"But baby wait-
“its too late dad, you made your choice. Now go out there and show ‘em you love ‘em more than us
That's what they want
They want you Marshall, they keep
screamin your name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep
Just take another pill, yeah i bet ya you will
You rap about it. Yeah word, ke-keep it real”
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it,
put it to my brain, scream ‘Die Shady!' and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes,
The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin',
There's birds singin', it's spring and
Hailie's out side swingin'
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her I miss her"
