I agree with bawhite2. Hit it dead on.

However, I also think the "Somebody's heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song" part is a subtle nod to LeRoi. I'm guessing this song was written after his death. Therefore, while it's many people's favorite song right now, the bands heart was broken because of his death. So right now, we are listening to the bands heartbreak & loving it. Kinda makes you feel bad if you think about it.

definitely right on with it referring to LeRoi. i think it can be both, really. obviously Roi here, but a song like Bartender, Grace is Gone, etc. can also apply to the same line. good point though.

I agree with bawhite 2 and crounsa810. But I also like the part of the song where he says, "Funny the way it is, not right or wrong." I think he's saying that the fact that all these things are happening isn't right or wrong. It's just funny.

I heard on the radio that Leroi is playing in this song and it was made before his death...
