"Danny's Song" was written by Kenny Loggins as a gift for his brother Danny on the birth of his son, Colin.
And he wrote it when he was only 17. Such wisdom from one so young. He was also in high school when he wrote House at Pooh Corner.
I hope he shared some of the publishing with Danny and Colin.
@@punkydoodle4774 House at Pooh Corner used to be part of my set when I was playing live. Super sweet song.
@@sourisvoleur4854 I love that song! I'll bet not many bands do that one. Kudos to you for doing so.
@@juliesmith4622 imagine your uncle writes you a song that becomes a classic...
It's okay to cry, Amber. This song is here to remind you that family is forever. Pull your children and your husband CLOSE, and thank the stars for the gifts you've been given. My Rob Squad Family is everything to me. Thank you BOTH eternally, for the joy you've brought to so many of us.
Amen
What's crazy is Loggins wrote this song as a junior in high school, no wife no son, just wrote a perfect song
Perfectly said!
@@milesfears I really appreciate that.
So true Simon. Sure, we listen to Classic Rock on the radio but now we have the pleasure of seeing folks react to our music the same way we did. A good song will always be a good song. Hearing it today for the first time or 50 years ago for the first time doesn't matter. We loved those songs for a reason. Talented musicians and singers made these tunes and to not pass them down to younger generations would be quite a loss. The way I see it, maybe somebody will be inspired by these tunes.
Love Amber's reaction to this incredible melody. She is as sweet as the song.
In 1978 I was a senior in college struggling to graduate. One Saturday afternoon I fell asleep unplanned. I awoke in a state of sleep paralysis, I could not move but could hear Danny's song on the radio. The message in the lyrics caused me to re-evaluate my life and want the life suggested in the song. I've been married for 43 years have 3 kids and 5 grandchildren thanks in part to this song! Thanks, Kenny for writing one of the greatest songs ever!
That is so beautiful!! ❤❤ thank you for sharing that! I wish I could have your life
He wrote this when he was 17 for his brother Danny whose wife just had had a baby.
Isn’t that crazy. A senior in high school.
Can't believe this song is over 50 years old. Beautiful. A classic.
WOW! 😲💛
Yes, I'm old. But it's okay, I was around for the great music!
@@magneto7930 Same. It's a privilege denied to many. There will NEVER be a better musical era than the one we grew up in. 💛
I can’t believe I’M over 50 years old. I’m 5 years older than this song.
I can believe it, I loved in back in the day and I still love it now.
Imagine the different kind of music that we had back then, pure talent!
Don’t compare eras, talent is intergenerational. This era also had Nicolette Larsen, Air Supply, England Dan, Anne Murray and a lot of other unexceptional and forgettable talent. Ever listened to Billie Eilish?
Kenny Loggins wrote "House on Pooh Corner" when he was a 17 year old student & later recorded it with Messina in the early 1970's. Then in the 1990's, as a father, he added a final verse to the song, now called "Return to Pooh Corner" and rerecorded the new version with Amy Grant (she is mainly a gospel artist whose husband is Vince Gill) as a duet. Please pick "Return to Pooh Corner" as your next Kenny Loggins song & be prepared for some misty eyes.
Return To Pooh Corner is perfect for them, as long as they have tissues.
I wanted to mention this too. Return to Pooh Corner is an absolute must!
YES!! If any song is perfect for them, it's Return to Pooh Corner. An absolute GEM!
“Return to Pooh Corner” is an absolute must hear.
Please react to this I love this song brings me back to my childhood
Kenny Loggins has had a great solo career. Jim Messina has also had quite a career. He was with Buffalo Springfield and Poco. How lucky we were back then. Both are still playing and performing. I hope they go on playing for many more years. Another great song by them is _your mama don't dance_ .
yes
How about Poco? Crazy Love; In the Heart of the Night
@@Mark-zu6oz
Just like to add ... Other members of Poco
Timothy B. Schmit (Eagles)
Randy Meisner (Eagles)
@@bobr4987 Yes, and of course Rusty Young (RIP) and Paul Cotton (RIP). Rusty was still touring with Poco until 2018.
@@Mark-zu6oz or especially Rose of Cimmaron, Legend & Indian Summer by Poco... Such great music we were blessed with these guys
Kenny's duet with Stevie Nicks, "Whenever I Call You Friend," is a classic and is good for both Female Friday or any other day.
Yes! DaBest!!!
For Real
Love, love, love that song!
💯😁
This song is one of their earlier hits along with "house on pooh corner" "your mama don't dance" and " watching the river run". All great examples of the folk rock era.
The fact that Kenny wrote this song in High School as a gift to his brother who was having a baby, is amazing
"... and if you find she helps your mind, better take her home - don't you live alone - try to earn what lovers own". My favorite line in this amazing song.
Another excellent Loggins and Messina song is "House on Pooh Corner ." Yes, it's about Whinney the Pooh!
My grandkids love this song just like my kids did.
Yes, House at Pooh Cornet.
Corner
But I think the original studio version of "house" with it's incredible percussion is the BOMB...listen to that one before you do the live version with the additional verse after the original...
As I have gotten older, I can never make it through this entire song with out shedding a tear.
It makes me lament the end of my decades long marriage. Although things weren’t so great at the end. It reminds me of us in our early 20s living on our own. We struggled paycheck to paycheck. But in that moment it didn’t feel so dire because we had each other.
I met Danny Loggins (for whom this song is written) and his wife 3 years ago when they were selling their condo and I was hired to photograph it for the listing. They were incredibly nice and invited me to stay for tea at the end of the job. We had a nice chat about music. Funny thing, I was told his name before I got there, but I didn't realize he was THE Danny Loggins. When he asked my name, I almost said "Ken, as in Kenny Loggins".
Loggins and Messina was considered a folk rock duo of the early 1970’s and had such wonderful songs such as this one, House at Pooh Corner, Watching the River Run and Your Mama Don’t Dance. When Kenny Loggins went solo in 1976. That’s when he went more towards a pop rock sound.
Yes! My mother sang that song to us when we were kids. She is no longer with us but such a precious song and memory.
Yes, when Kenny did those "rocking" songs in the 1980s, we kind of thought he was faking it, since he'd been so successful in the softer mode when playing with Jim. (This was probably unfair, since there's no reason he can't be versatile. But it's not only the current "playlist" generation that tends to shove artists into a particular slot.)
This song really hit Amber! I never seen her tear up like this before! You go girl! Love your heart!!!!!
Yes. It was so sweet to see Amber's reaction. Thanks, you guys, for just being so genuine and honest. I love watching your reactions. I had that album when it came out and my wife and I (we were so young and broke) loved that song. You just helped me relive it.
It's an incredibly beautiful song....
My dad used to sing this song to my mom on guitar when she was pregnant with my older brother. He passed away almost five years ago now and this song still brings a tear of joy to my eyes.
The one line always makes me and my wife smile. “Pisces - Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind”. My wife and I met in college when we were both 18 and married at 21 years old. We’re both 64 years old now! She is a Pisces and I’m a Virgo 😉 Love this song!
So I’m sitting here sobbing. Cause I’m 59 and this song puts me right back at in love at 17…
I got to see Kenny Loggins. He ended the concert with "House at Pooh Corner". Absolutely beautiful!!!
Got to see 2 Kenny concert’s-one in the 80’s & one in the 90’s
Nobody writes music of this quality anymore. The songwriters of the 70s reign supreme.
Amber is buried in this song…all her emotions were written on her face. Such a great song but your reaction made it even better.
Always loved these guys. Check out “Vahevala” and “Mama Don’t Dance.” And solo Kenny “Celebrate Me Home,” one of the most beautiful songs ever.
Love Celebrate Me Home would be great for Christmas
Celebrate me home has always been my favorite Loggins andMessina song
@@RitaBowen1 minus the Messina.
“Vahevala” & “Lahaina”..... 💯🤙🏽😎
"Vahevala" would definitely be my top pick. But there's no reason you have to pick just one, of course.
Kenny wrote this song for his brother and his brother's wife. If you get a chance listen to Anne Murray's version of this song. She does an amazing job. She has a beautiful voice and has a lot of great songs of her own. Definitely worth checking out.
He was just 17 when he wrote that for his brother
"Celebrate Me Home" is another beautiful song of his that makes me very emotional.
I listened to it a lot during this past Christmas.
My grandmother passed away on December 19, 2022, and that song brought me comfort because my grandmother loved it, and I felt that she was going home to all the other family we'd lost, including my mom. ♥️
Sorry to interrupt such a heartfelt post, but does your grandmother know she's going to pass in less than 2 months? & how do you know?
Oh that is a great one! I get a bit emotional when I hear it during the holidays, makes me think about my grandparents and my mother. Jay and Amber need to react to that one soon!
The looks exchanged between these two whilst this song played melted my heart. You can tell they felt every word of this song. I have never felt more alone. lol
No. In all serious, I hope for the continued success for these two spectacular individuals:)
Anne Murray does a beautiful cover of this song.
That's a definite vote for Female Friday!
Love Anne Murray's version. Love everything she's done.
Agree!
Yes it is a great cover. I’m pretty sure she omits a couple of the verses so it’s a little bit shorter
In my opinion, Anne's version is better!
"House at Pooh Corner" is one Kenny Loggins wrote for the kids.
It was revisited in "Return to Pooh Corner."
Been trying to get people to react to _this one_ for the longest time, especially the couples channels. One of the purest love songs of that decade.
I love this song. The Canadian singer Anne Murray did a cover of this song about a year after this originally came out (1971-72ish) that actually made the charts in the US and was a frequent play on AM "Top 40" radio (KJR Seattle Channel 95, LOL🤣🤣☮️). That rendition makes a few relatively minor changes and dropped one of the verses, but is still worth a listen. Especially since you've just heard the original.
I think you'd like "Your Mama Don't Dance" by Loggins & Messina. You'll likely laugh at the premise since you're raising your kids like we did ours, with Rock & Roll as an integral part of everyday life.
Thak you so much for many smiles you have brougght to my face over this past year so since I've been subscribing to your channels. It's really been a great experience to follow your journey into this iconic music.
LL&P🖖
Peace☮️😎
Love Anne Murray!!! Loved her version.
I remember anne-marie's version of this and I like in Murray. However Kenny Loggins is my go-to for listening to this song.
She did a really fine job.
KJR ruled the airwaves!
Anne Murray deserves to be on their "listen to" list even if they don't check out her version of Danny's Song. U.S. Country music fans crazy for her in the early 70's. "Snowbird" was her first hit
Beautiful song , Anne Murray had a top ten with her cover of this song.
When I was growing up in the 70’s Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina were known as the super duo Loggins & Messina in the mid-1970’s. They were played on FM radio in heavy rotation, had many many hit songs. This duo broke up in 1976. Loggins became the most successful member. The rest is music history. .
Rob and Amber, explore more of their music. “ House of Pooh Corner” & “You’re Mama Don’t Dance” “Angry Eyes”. ❤❤ Great songs.
I love 'House at Pooh Corner' too!
This arrangement as well as Anne Murray's cover are magical. For another one by Kenny Loggins that you can sing to your children try "Return to Pooh Corner".
As young parents, I figured you would both relate to this song - "People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one... think I'm gonna have a son." Cheers to you both and your fabulous family.
Loggins & Messina were B4 Kenny was a solo artist, they were both very young & totally awesome. 😄💚🙏
Messina wasn’t “very young”. He was a member of Buffalo Springfield in the 60’s.
I always cry everytime that song is played. I've heard it maybe 50 times since it was made.
My name is Danny and my mother used to sing this to me all the time when I was a small child. ❤️❤️
Jim Messina was in the buffalo springfield
He was asked to produce the first Kenny Loggins album
They began to write and record together and became a group
Jim Messina took a young Loggins under his wing to help him develop his art. They became quite popular. They were the number one duo in pop music until they were dethroned by Hall and Oates. Their style was pretty folksy. Two of their biggest hits was "Your Mamma Don't Dance" and "House on Pooh Corner." Pick one of those for your next from this duo.
I requested Your Mama don't dance just a few days ago. I always go for the more fun ones lol
Good choices and I would add, Watching the river run and Pathway to Glory.
Don't forget "Angry Eyes", there's a live version that is amazing.
There’s a little more obvious Messina in Your Mama Don’t Dance. ..❤️
I’ve been watching My Music (Midnight Special video) that one just might be my favorite 👍🏻
Danny’s song is a favourite and Anne Murray did a beautiful rendition of this song as well. You also need to listen to House at Pooh Corner performed just by Kenny. A tear jerker every time for me.
One of the things I've noticed in the past couple months is y'all have a vastly increased appreciation for the complexity and beauty of layered instruments and voices in music production. I've noticed especially how Amber is picking up on good drumming and how it is foundational for good music. Amber seriously, do yourself a favor and watch "Sina-drums - Highway Star" it has nearly 9 million views. I think you'll gain and even stronger appreciation for talented drumming.
Kenny Loggins has a children's album, "Return to Pooh Corner" that is so dang good...I don't even have kids.
😁😅
@@RitaBowen1 "Return to Pooh Corner"...just as pretty, just perfect .
He has three albums for kids now:
Return to Pooh Corner
More Songs From Pooh Corner
All Join In (on which he sings the Beatles tune, Two of Us, with Jim Messina).
Definitely listen to Loggins and Messina singing “Watching the River Run”. You will love it as well!
Definitely. It’s me and my husbands song . He passed a few years ago.
@@ssshadowwolf6762 Sorry for your loss.
I played this in 95 when I brought our newborn son home and cried while singing this beautiful classic.
Danny's Song is an absolutely beautiful song. If it doesn't get your eyes a little misty, there might be something wrong with your heart. Great reaction!
2:01 mark, that look Jay gives Amber.... MY MAN!!! That is a king looking at his queen, the mother of his children, his life partner. Tell me you didn't feel that moment? and poor Amber didn't even see it. This was so awesome.
"Footloose" is obviously a really famous KL song, but I also love "Meet Me Half Way". Plus, he co-wrote "What a Fool Believes" for The Doobie Brothers, which is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever. Just such an upbeat melody with lyrics it took me years to realise were so sad.
Never knew that about What A Fool Believes. Thank you for the information. 💛
@@GoldenLady1007 My pleasure! There's actually a video here on YT of McDonald and Loggins singing it together.
@@ToniMcGinty at the Redwoods. It’s acoustic and phenomenal.
@@TheDivayenta It is. My heart will always vote for the original over anything else, but to be there in those surroundings with that performance must have been magical.
Loved your reaction guys. You guys are the sweetest most real and beautiful hearted people out there. I was born in 1955 and love that you love the music I grew up on. Those days had the best music EVER!!! Boomer music ROCKS!!!! Thx for the love!!! God Bless You!!!
I have always loved this song. It reminds me so much about my wife and starting a family. Watching your reaction is the first time I have heard it since my wife passed and it rings so much differently than before. Love your family and rejoice in your lives with them. They are THE ONLY thing that matters.
Anne Murray does a great cover of this.
IMO, Kenny's best work was done with Jim Messina. Anything off the Full Sail album is reaction worthy. It is one of my all time favorites albums. I think you'll love it.
Agreed! Full Sail is fantastic!
Do you think they even know who Jim Messina is?
@@algrap1954 do you know who Jim Messina is?
Pathway to Glory off Full Sail is powerful
@@algrap1954 they aren’t acting like it…. The bill was never ‘Kenny’ Loggins & Messina
I break down every time. the Tears just Flow. I'm so glad you found this cut.
This is the song they played for our first dance when I married my wife. I am 6 months a widower, and this was special. Thanks.
Loggins & Messina’s pathway to glory was a huge steppers song in the 70’s my all time favorite
Mine too! I SO wish someone would review it!! (HINT,HINT!!!}
Kenny's song "For The First Time" so beautiful.
Amber...I was teary eyed along with you. Absolutely beautiful song. This brought me way back. My first true love and I. This was OUR song. I learned it on acoustic guitar and I would play it for her often. Thank you for making this old dude cry!! Peace and love to all.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written...nuff said.
NO LIE. I’ve heard this song a million times in my life but this was THE FIRST time I ever (slightly) cried during it. Amber got to me.
SAME! Only mine was a little more than slightly. 🥲
Me too!!!! Amber’s reaction just drew me into the lyrics like never before
Oh, man. One of the purest reactions ever. You got me, Amber. Tears.
The Ann Murray version of this will move you to tears.
Loggins and Messina had more of a folk rock/soft rock kind of sound than Loggins' solo work. Honestly, I like that earlier style better.
Logging and Massina did a song called the "House At Pooh Corner" and in 1994 Kenny Loggins released an album entitled "The Return To Pooh Corner" the song involves the characters of Winnie The Pooh, but the meaning is about growing up and losing your child like innocents. There are many great songs on the album such as "All The Pretty Little Ponies", which includes David Crosby and an excellent version of "Rainbow Connection" by Kenny Loggins.
This was his first number one hit. As they say brought him to the dance. Beautiful song.
One of my favorites. Next Sunday is Father's Day. One of the best songs for Father's Day is "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross.
She'll need an entire carton of tissues
And Kenny has a haunting tribute to his dad on his Keep the Faith album. Check out, My Father's House.
Ive been dealing with a horrible divorce (involving a child) for 12 years. It involved a gun today...long story...but at the very beginning of the crapshow about 11-12 years ago, I was left homeless after a very bad divorce. I was reduced to living illegally in somebody's attic and working in "fast food" for a little while. The restaurant piped in classic rock and the walls were COVERED in class rock memorabilia. It was a great atmosphere. One day, I was deep in my thoughts and missing my child at work and this song came on. I had been keeping a brave face through those hard times, but the lyrics of the song were too much in that moment...and I started crying. Not sobbing, but tears rolling down my face uncontrollably. I continued to take orders while customers looked at me like I was losing my mind. It wasnt "my darkest day", but definitely a bad time I think of often. This song is amazing...it's timeless...and it's good to be on "the right side" of it when you hear it.
Hope you're doing well now. God bless you ALWAYS!!!
So sorry to hear about your terrible experience! My mum had to make a decision to leave my dad who was an alcoholic! My brother was almost fifteen and I was twelve! It was a long time ago! She was in her forties and the only job she could get was in a factory! It wasn’t easy! I hope things are better for you now! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.
@@wendyryder2708 Thank you for your kind words and your story. Your mother sounds like a true blessing. Ive seen God make a miracle in the blink of an eye, but Ive also seen imperfect parents perform them over decades...doing their part to make them happen every day. There's no worthier pursuit, in my opinion. My life is definitely better now...even if my load isnt lighter, my shoulders are stronger. Sending love to you and yours from Montana. Here's hoping that we always remember those struggles with a smile and some accrued wisdom....and let's hope music still continues to remind us.
For more Loggins & Messina, I highly recommend, 'Angry Eyes', 'House at Pooh Corner' and 'A Love Song' for starters! Peace & Love 😎☮❤
This is my husband and my song. We listened to it all the time when I was carrying our little boy. It always made me cry joyful tears! It's a little over 30 years now and we still listen to this song for the joyful memories! ❤ Thanks for your always great reactions.
You should listen to Kenny Loggins with Stevie Nicks singing Whenever I Call You Friend. Love that, especially the very beginning of it.
Their live album is one of the best live albums IMO. So many good versions of their songs including Vahevala and Angry Eyes.
Andry Eyes is the best on the album.
Angry Eyes is the best and at 20 minutes Vahevala is best seen in person.
This was covered by Anne Murray and became a hit for her before L&M released their version! 🇨🇦 Beautiful song. ❤️ Would love you to react to Both!!
This is 70s Loggins and Messina. Another I love from Loggins is "Return to Pooh Corner" the video is so good. It's just heartwarming.
Another one of his mellow hits that you need to check out is "House at Pooh Corner."
Kenny Loggins put our an album in 1994 called "Return to Pooh Corner" and it was a collection of 10 child-friendly songs. Very gentle and peaceful. My daughter loved it when she was young.
When my wife and I first moved in together, we had nothing! I mean we had a mattress, a milk crate for a night stand, a card board dresser, a black and white tv, cushions to sit on to watch tv, a microwave, one pot, one frying pan, a radio, a few cds, and our clothes. That is it!! We were so happy!!!!!!! Things can be bought over time and they were. Love, on the other hand takes trust, faith, and time. almost 30 years later, we have a home, cars, furniture, and most valuable our children. This song gets to me, because we were those kids. Still are. Great job guys! Love you! Thanks!!!!
I was 16 years old in 1971 , I went to see Loggins and Messiah at the San Diego Sports Arena, they put a great concert, right in the middle of their performance, they stopped, it got quite, and Kenny Loggins walked out on stage Alone carrying an acoustic guitar, they set it a stool, he said I'm going to do a song I wrote for a friend of mine , he and wife just had a baby boy, it's called Danny's song, he than went on yo say it wasn't even released yet, we were the first audience to hear it. And then he did Danny's song, it was beautiful, and we so privileged that he shared it with it, it was on their next album released, and of course, it was a hit.
A fond memory of mine. They were fabulous.
"SAME AULD LANG SYNE" ~ Dan Fogelberg
You WILL live it....!
“Angry Eyes “ by Loggins and Messina is an amazing jam. House at Pooh Corner is Another Good Slow Song
Just heard him on Sirius. He was saying he rewrote/added to this song since he's now a grandfather !! Danny had a son. ❤️
To me, this song expresses the depth of love, and simplicity. We often make life harder than it has to be.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard “footloose “ yet from the movie footloose that’s upbeat but if you want another one similar to this that’s just so super sweet try “return to Pooh corner”
Cool song!! Circle back to Cat Stevens “If you want to sing out, sing out”!!!🤘🔥
Harold and Maude. Great Suggestion ☺
@@stephenulmer3781 Cool movie!🤘🔥
This is the Kenny Loggins that we knew first before all of those other songs you mentioned. Loggins and Messina had a lot of great songs and this one is the most beautiful one. You should check out their song Your Mama Don't Dance, you'll love that one!
I wondered when you would discover the sweet, soulful side of Kenny. He also is very prolific songwriter for other artists. Go down the rabbit hole!
Another beautiful Loggins & Messina song, that would be wonderful to react to (maybe even with Luca joining in) is 'House At Pooh Corner'. It's all about the world of Winnie the Pooh, and if you're not familiar with that series of books, I'd highly recommend them for their gentle lessons on what it means to be a loving, kind and caring friend, through characters who are very different in personality and attitude but who all value individual acts of loving kindness and also community.
Loggins and Messina was a favorite group of mine in my 20s. Messina brought more instrumentation to the group, while Loggins brought lyrics, catchy songs and that voice. They fit together well. If you want to hear more Messina in the mix, try their song, Angry Eyes.
Jim Messina wrote his share of their songs… and they both sang lead…
You know you've just listened to an amazing piece of music when it brings you to tears...
These guys were a great duo. Check out "Your Mama Don't Dance", Angry Eyes", and "Pooh Corner" among others.
Also, check out Poco "Call it Love", "Heart of the Night", "Crazy Love".
You need to check out the long studio version of "Angry Eyes" by them.
“Even though we ain’t got money , I’m so in love with you honey” was an all time top song line.”House at Poo corner” ( original version) is a great one of theirs from this Dara.
House at Pooh Corner is another sweet song which Kenny wrote when he was 17. He tells a great story in concert about how that song was okayed to be recorded. Forever and Celebrate Me Home are beautiful ballads. In concert he does a fab call and response with the saxophone on Celebrate me home. I’m excited to be seeing Loggins solo x2 in June and Loggins & Messina at the Hollywood Bowl in July!
I always loved this one. We kids would all sing along and I'd think about how that's the way I would want things to be in life. Another one like that is Seals and Croft "Summer Breeze". Kenny Loggins also has a great duet with Stevie Nicks "Whenever I Call You Friend" which was a big hit. Of course life always seems complicated when you're living it, but what I would not trade for the simple times I lived back then.
Would be great to hear some Seals and Crofts in honor of Jim Seals who just passed away last week.
One of my long-loved Loggins and Messina songs is "Watching the River Run". It's about life and friendship/companionship. Highly recommend it.
There is a Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks duet called "Whenever I Call You "Friend"" that you should be aware of.
Ann Murray does a great cover of this song but you just can't beat the original kenny Loggins version
Watching The River Run is another great song by Loggins and Messina.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written! Period.
I’ve been waiting for you guys to watch this! So glad you did.
When we all went camping my, now ex-wife and her best friend would sing this song around the campfire. They weren't Loggins and Messina but they did it justice.......not all memories of a failed marriage are negative
When the song makes you cry, you know it is a good one.
What magnificent song-writing!
Loggins-Messina were like the Simon & Garfunkel of the 70s... just inspired guys at the peak of their powers.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I've probably heard it one hundred times, and I still cried just now.
