    I was just recently introduced to this song. Never had the chance to watch Pete's Dragon, growing up. And now this song means so much to me. My mom just passed a month ago and everytime I hear this it makes me think of her being my candle on the water, the stormy sea that I'm now having to find my way in. Her soul will always be there guiding me, she'll never let me go! I love you, Mom! ❤

    My friend send me here because I lost and the stormy darkness bring me down and to be honest the first time hearing this I felt little and now I feel emotional and am grateful for my friend being there for me she is the only one who I can turn to and trust here a little advises from someone who depressed not everyone means, there always peoples who will be there for you, there is always hope weather you can see it or not, And last but not least suicide is not the answer because life is beautiful but if you do decide to commit suicide then I hope you find the peace you looking for as for me I will keep fighting depression until the end stay strong everyone

    On this day in 1977 {November 3rd} the Disney movie "Pete's Dragon" opened in theaters across the U.S.A.
    Five month later on April 13th, 1978 it premiered in Helen Reddy's native Australia...
    The film was nominated for two Academy Awards; "Best Score" and "Best Original Song" for 'Candle on the Water' {the winner was 'You Light Up My Life'}...
    R.I.P. Mr. Disney {1901 - 1966} and Ms. Reddy celebrated 72nd birthday nine days ago on October 25th...
