Didnt make me cry but it is probably the best song since the turn of the millenium but could someone please tell me what instrument is being played...Its looks like a small guitar/mandelan?

I'm pretty sure it's a mandalin. I love this song too although I like When You Come Back Down Better

I once read a Harry Potter Song FanFiction and it was based on this song

This song has to be one of the greatest stories I have heard in a while. It convays such a strong emotion for five minute song. But that's what music is about, right? BTW. That is a Mandolin that is playing all the lead stuff. The mandolinist is Chris Thile, for those of you who want to know. He has some solo stuff out if you'd like to look it up. Peace \m/ \m/ Rock on all you folk lovers

Definatly one of my favorite Nickel Creek songs. It was the first one I heard to. It's interesting because usually songs with stories as sad as this have a more meloncholy sound to it...but it's pretty upbeat.

I cry EVERYTIME I hear this song. I adore it. The line "...And off the edge of me he ran" always gets me, no matter how hard I try to hold it in. Mainly because I picture the song being my fiance and me, and...ah. So sad.

This group is the ultimate ballad writer. Their stories are so amazing.

[offtopic]This was also the first song of theirs I had ever heard.

I just saw Nickel Creek two weeks ago and they were fantastic! They didn't play this song, which is my favorite, but it didn't make me love the show any less. For this song, Chris plays a mandolin in the music video, but he plays a bouzouki for many other songs.
