heartbreak and hope all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is
someone searching for us."

the Jackson Browne original is awesome. We have J.B. to thank for the simple yet sophisticated lyrics. But I think the composition of this version makes it easier to JAM to, if ya know what I mean.

This song was recently on a movie I watched and its great. I think it more to be about this beautiful girl who is just so untouchable she has to be someones "somebody".

This is an awesome remake of an awesome Jackson browne song. To me this song is walking up to a girl that is untouchable, but than realizing that the only way to really get a girl like that is to talk to them and not be afraid of rejection.

same here...every time I hear this song I hear about this girl in my english class (I'm in college at Georgia Tech), and available girls here are EXTREMELY uncommon (the male/female ratio is like 72/28 here...sux), but anyway she's hot as hell, very cool, everything i look for in a girl, but she has a boyfriend. Just like any other girl here, has to belong to somebody...

i think it's about a guy who thinks this chick is so beautiful and special, that she's gotta have a boyfriend....because all the other guys who see her, don't want to talk to her, he thinks they're crazy....it's a gorgeous song...

i loooove this song. i first heard it on the movie "not another teen movie" it's about this guy who meets a girl that is not the most gorgeous person but he sees her internal beauty. and he wonders how no one else can see this beauty, and why she doesn't have a man..
