I love coming back to old, beautiful songs likes this and reading the comments and see what and why the lives of others have led them to this song. It might be depressing or heart-warming, but it's still a story to tell. I love venturing down Memory Lane and think of the times I listened to this song. I love reading the comments and walking down the lane with others that shared the same feelings as I did.

[@heroforce7145]

@OnlyOne93 Last couple years of my 20s I was terrified and pissed off about turning 30. Now that I'm 30 I'm loving it so much I can't even believe. My brain automatically shifted and I've been making much better decisions and reaping rewards already. And I'm still young. Don't fear it at all. You're gonna love your early 30s

Heard this song roughly 2 years back and I still can't get enough.

[@shanem415]

It could have been weeks, months, or years since your break up but it's like this song brings it all back even just from the piano and I find that beautiful. As someone who barely got through a horrific break up with my one and only, or so I thought. I now realize if there's anything clear in life it's that there's not one person in the world worth your life. Just gotta keep fighting and one day you wake up and they become a blur.

[@jakelester7963]

This used to be my brother’s favorite song when I was little. We used to always listen to it together. He passed away almost 12 years ago. I think he got to smoke a cigarette backstage with the band one time.

Its so hard to put into words the way that this song makes me feel, utterly this song is a beautiful masterpiece and holds a lot of meaning to me. I can see it as a part of the soundtrack to my life, This song is everything. 2019 and I am 100% still obsessed with this song. The words, the music, the singers voice.
