I love this beautiful song, it's not about having to own someone else or marry them, but about the memories you shared with them still being alive and still being able to be connected to that person in some way to let the memories live on and share the emotions of time you spent with them still together, even as friends.
They played this song at the Wave Pool in Richmond Hill, Ontario in the summer of 2005. It was the best song for floating over the waves in that indoor pool in the summer.
When Gwen toured with Lady Sovereign, I went JUST to see Lady Sovereign for my late 15th Birthday present and invited a group of my friends to go : Laura, Cherry, Caroline, Nicola, ...who else? It is upsetting I couldn't invite my whole friend group which would be like 8-10 tickets and too expensive but looking back I should have done that since I feel like this concert and inviting those girls maybe made others feel left out and I was not aware that that could happen at such a young age that I was. I didn't know you weren't supposed to do that. But the girls that got to go, we all had a blast and so much fun.
I watch her performing that song 17 years ago and still its the coolest song with cold capital C to match. Gwen Stefani I love your red lips and your sexiest legs. Good luck on your return to the The Voice this year.
