As said, way too overplayed. Also have no idea how it got voted #1 in the old station's All Time Top 500...

The opening notes of this song make the hairs stand out on my neck(in a good way!) So many memories surrounding the time this was released.

This is no doubt, a great, emotional song, but it has simply been overplayed to the point where people are sick of it.
