these songs just strike a chord within me, and they always will. they may be based around love, or sadness about love, or happiness about love. romance. letting someone go. loving them forever and never going anywhere. they also may NOT be about love, and just stick with me for the strong emotional feelings and memories. whatever it may be, i'll always have a thing for these songs.
