this, between my girlfriend and i, is "our song", i think. it has yet to be decided haha. we started dating after talking at a music festival june 2004. we dated over the summer, but, as i'm a year ahead of her in school, i left for college in mid-august and did the most assholish thing i've ever done: i stopped calling. my feelings for her were there, but i wanted to move on, even though i went to college in the same town. upon hearing this song, i think it was on christmas day of 2004, i started crying upon hearing the line "someone told me you're still pretty", it just hit me that way. we started talking and soon began dating again once 2005 came around, and i know now i'm in love with her, despite my past mistake. but now it's her turn to leave me behind; she's heading off to college in washington state in august as i continue my education here in kansas. we won't stay together, that's obvious, but we both really love each other. this is our song for that line, for the "please remember me" motif, for holding her tightly when sam beam played it as the final song when he came through my hometown, for every reason.
it's the most beautiful, and at this point heart-breaking, song i've ever heard in my life.

I wish I could hear the rest of the story. I wonder what happened to this couple in the last five years.

Me too, especially as I am one year into a similar scenario. I suppose we could always e-mail him :)
