Washington Square by Counting Crows
It is a song about sacrifice. Sometimes we have to decide what to let go of, so that we can grasp onto something better. It can be sad if we focus on what we are leaving behind, but the artist in this situation seems to tell us that what is next may be nothing short of spectacular. As for the real Washington Square, it is a jewel of New York City. Please keep it safe, fun, and respectful for generations to come.
