Anna Begins has been a break-up song for me since my first really serious girlfriend got my into August and Everything After album it's on. The Counting Crows were one of the first "soft" bands I learned to appreciate, along with the The Cranberries, thanks to that girlfriend's influence. Singing along to Anna Begins is always a good acid test for how well the healing of my broken heart is going. Today I only cried a little, maybe more out of sentimentality than heartbreak. Progress! : )
