Song of the Moment CXII: 3 Doors Down’s “Here Without You”

The American post-grunge band 3 Doors Down is an important part of my high school soundtrack, and “Here Without You” (the third single from the band’s second studio album, Away from the Sun) reminds me of a turning point in my life as a teenage student who was starting to fall in love and as a fan of professional wrestling.
