It's strange all the emotions that are tangled up in one song. I was fourteen years old the first time I heard these notes. Since then, I've probably listened to them a thousand times. And every time, all those old feelings come flooding back.
And Chris? I hearby deem you in charge of making me some Rob Thomas/Matchbox Twenty icons whenever it is you return to your computer and icon-making mode. Because it is shameful the lack of said icons on the Internet. :)
