What makes this song so brilliant is how Eminem samples a sweet love song by Dido and twists it dark into a tale of obsession. He almost says, "every fan starts off innocently... and then sometimes, it all goes wrong." Dido herself is really fantastic, would love to see you react to her song Thank You (where the sample comes from) as well as Here With Me or White Flag.

Thats Devon Sawa from the Final Destination movies, and this song is where the term "Stan" comes from. Eminem often tells stories with his lyrics. You should listen to *I Need a Doctor* by Dr. Dre, Em and Skylar Grey if you haven't already. That song still makes me cry after all these years. You can feel Em's immense love and respect for Dre in that song.
