Dumbass me. Yup. Makes me bawl like a jackass to this very day. And I don't even love that guy anymore. But this song makes me remember that once, I did. There are no bad words or lyrically mangled phrases. No musical missteps. That song utterly tears my guts out. Yard by agonizing yard, that song rips my very insides out, from my core and out of my paralyzed mouth. And leaves the tortured steaming remnants in a heap in front of me. All I can do is kind of tremble and twitch in the wake of that song. Crying in stunned disbelief these years later over "what I had and what I lost".

It leaves me destroyed.

So that, for me, is the masterpiece of IYD. Not Italian Summer.

"You May Be The One" gets me EVERY time. And like you, it's not because I feel something for the particular person I associate with it, but it's the memories of what I did feel, the pain I went through and all the regrets I still have about it. In particular, this:

I hear the islands calling
I hear angry words
Fly across the ocean
Like some, sea birds
Never stopping
I feel my blood racing
Can't believe what you are saying
I used to love you, SOO much

God, I'm welling up just READING it! This might call for a new thread - "songs that make you cry". That'll be a long discussion
