    I can't help but tear up when I hear this.
    These sister's truly have an effect on me.
    God, how I love them both.

      I know exactly how you feel Chuck.
      They both are incredibly talented.

    Klara's voice on this song is incredible.

    And you said, "Don't give me nothing
    You don't want to lose"
    I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got
    If I want them to choose"
    Then I got on a plane and flew
    Far away from you
    Though unwillingly I left
    And it was so, so hard to do
    The streets here at home had rapidly filled up
    With the whitest of snow
    And they don't make no excuse for themselves
    And there's no need, I know
    Now I miss you more than I can take
    And I will surely break
    And every morning that I wake
    God, it's the same
    There's nothing more to it,
    I just get through it
    Oh, there's nothing more to it
    I just get through it
    It always takes me by surprise
    How dark it gets this time of the year
    And how apparent it all becomes
    That you're not close, not even near
    No matter how many times I tell myself
    I have to be sincere
    I have a hard time standing up
    And facing those fears
    But Frank put it best when he said
    "You can't plan on the heart"
    Those words keep me on my feet
    When I think I might just fall apart
    Now I miss you more than I can take
    And I will surely break
    And every morning that I wake
    God, it's the same
    There's nothing more to it,
    I just get through it
    Oh, there's nothing more to it
    I just get through it
    Oh, there's nothing more to it
    I just get through it
    And so I ask where are you now
    Just when I needed you
    I won't ask again
    Because I know there's nothing we can do
    Not now, darling, you know it's true

    A song for a broken heart

      For sure. This is the first song I heard on the morning after my best girlfriend called to tell me she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I cried and cried and cried. She passed away four months later. This is the song I played for her at her memorial service. It speaks for my broken heart. I play it every November to remember Robin ...... and never, ever forget how strong friendship love can be.

    except for the brief crack in Klara's voice at 3:35 (cute gesture), i cant imagine them performing the song any better than this. bravissimo! superb percussion work by mattias, too.

      Yeah I really enjoyed the whole thing and that part was fun. You kinda see Klara catch it and touch her chest for a second like "oops, but oh well..."
