Angeles, California. He graduated from Los Angeles County High School for the

for playing piano, drums, and other percussion instruments while on stage and
recording. He is of English, German and Norwegian descent. Groban has been
previously married to January Jones from 2003 until 2006. Although it was

because he has never talked about what the words mean to him. All he has said
is that one night he had awoken during a rough spot in his life and the melody
and words just flowed out of him. He said to various interviewers, that he wrote
the entire song in under 20 minutes.
After reading the lyrics several times, I interpret the song as being a call
to his past. Many people refer to a “May-September relationship” as someone in
early adulthood in a relationship with someone much older. Maybe in his eyes, a
February relationship is his childhood. "Where has that old friend gone, lost in a
February Song...” Throughout the song, he might be trying to tell his childhood
that he is just growing up and that eventually he will return to the way he used
to be. The song is supposed to represent how the world feels at its craziest.
"Where is that simple day, before colors broke into shades, and how did I ever
fade into this life...” and then later he sings, "I keep on falling as I try to get
away from this crazy
