No Picture Gabe Professional	#1 by Gabe Hawkins at Aug 11, 1970 at 11:03 PM EST
	Absolute Perfection. The first time I heard this song I was at my boyfriend's house and we had just finished watching slc punk. The ending of that movie left me in tears and we went downstairs and he put on this song. The melody of it and just everything about it made me feel so much. "Beauty" is the only word I can think of to descibe this song

No Picture brennan Average	#2 by brennan collins at Dec 3, 1971 at 6:50 PM EST
	it rocks. thats all that can be said.. SC rocks.

No Picture chris Average	#3 by chris ovari at Sep 23, 1989 at 12:24 PM EST
	This song is the most amazing song ever written. It is the most passionate song I've ever heard, and its everything I wish I could tell a girl. Its pure beauty and grace.

No Picture steven Lead Player	#4 by steven ratliff at Nov 26, 1989 at 10:24 PM EST
	This song is about the lead singers ex. When they play it live, he changes the end of the song to fit whatever is going on in their relationship at that time.

No Picture jordan Wanna Be	#5 by jordan at Apr 18, 1993 at 11:23 AM EST
	i love this song so much. i put it on repeat and listen to it for hours upon hours. this song just does something to me. the first time i heard it i cried, its just so powerful. it just gets inside of me and does something that i cant explain. this might be my favorite song.

No Picture Average	#6 by Riqu - at Dec 14, 1998 at 6:56 PM EST
	This song is amazing. I listen to it a lot and it reminds me of my recent ex who broke my heart. I'm not quite sure what Konstantine means either, but if I guess at it I'd say that my ex will always be my Konstantine too.

No Picture Spymaster Lead Player	#7 by Spymaster - Halo 2 at Dec 27, 1998 at 9:57 PM EST
	this song is so good i listen to it about 10 times a day its just so amazing the things you can feel form just hearing a song like this i love it

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#8 by Gary Rossington at Feb 28, 2003 at 12:23 AM EST
	This song hurts because for some reason it makes me think about leaving my girlfriend when we go off to college. A lot of the lines have signifigant meanings for me. I know that I'll be crying over this one in the future. I'm not quite sure what "Konstantene" is. Is it a name? Somebody help me out.

No Picture Jeff Average	#9 by Jeff Berg at Jul 11, 2004 at 2:27 PM EST
	WOW! The first time i heard this song i was driving home from work and listening to a comp. and then i came on and i just started crying it was the saddest song i have ever heard. i had a long relationship 2 1/2 years and this whole song reminded me of him so i just cryed.

No Picture Anthony Average	#10 by Anthony Pardee at May 22, 2007 at 5:45 PM EST
	all i can say is this song says so much more than anyone could ever explain, it will make anyone who truely listens think of how much love can hurt, its amazing how powerful it is.

No Picture dan Average	#11 by dan evans at Jul 24, 2007 at 3:36 PM EST
	i was wondering about the mentioning of the band Jimmy Eat World ("it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car"). How does that fit into he song? Also does anyone else hear "its jut this guilt has got the best of me" instead of "please don't think that this is easy" in the last line of the fifth paragraph? do i have different version?
