I also think the song’s timelessness comes from its ability to evoke memories. For me, it reminds me of special moments and relationships from the past.
That’s a beautiful perspective! I believe many listeners feel the same way, which is part of what gives the song its lasting impact.
But isn’t it a bit overly sentimental? Some might argue that the song romanticizes unrequited love too much. What are your thoughts?
Interesting point, smithashley! I think there’s a balance. While it may seem sentimental, that vulnerability is what connects with so many listeners who have felt similar emotions.
