note from Doug: I went through this about 3 months ago. She went to France, I went to college. Trust me, I know what's up. Some of these songs got picked not because of their lyrical relevance, but rather for their sonic relevance. There's something about soft hand-plucked guitars that just screams "I MISS YOU SO FUCKING MUCH YOU JACKASS!" Just remember, it'll all get better. And if you want my "How to stay positive post-breakup," just ask.
