It was January 1982 and I was 19 years old. I had a girlfriend named Carrie who really liked me. I really liked her as well and had never felt more comfortable with a person in my life. Although we had not known each other for more than 2 months, she gave me a bracelet for Christmas that had her name on it so that I would remember her when I went out of town to my university 4 hours away. ...

Although we had not known each other for more than 2 months, she gave me a bracelet for Christmas that had her name on it so that I would remember her when I went out of town to my university 4 hours away. Then, I did a horrible thing. In a moment of a rushed bad decision to hang out with a new girl at school, and at this new girls insistent alcohol-induced behest, I wrote her to tell her I was breaking up with her - just like that. I remember the letter I got back from her and showed it to this "new" girl (who ended up lasting me 3 months as she moved on to another one of my fraternity brothers!). I remember this new girl freaking out when she read the letter because she said ":this girl is suicidal!" By then I thought it was all too late. This was in the days before email, so it took forever to send and receive letters. Flash forward to 2014. I still feel guilty and don't want her to hate me. This song now brings me to tears (although I must state that I am very very happy with my life as it is now and i would not change a thing).

it's about letting go, and how it's hard without hurting the other person
This song is rocket fuel for my mid-life crisis.

And on top of this - this song has really heavy, kick-ass guitar solo.
