[rikman]

Just so love seeing the rehearsing & then shifts into the performing of this beautiful song 😊

[DanielLeightonArt]

Thank you for sharing this amazing footage! Wonderful to see the evolution of this great song. I first heard it at the Hollywood Bowl about a month after the first part of this video was recorded and it’s stuck with me ever since. Recently, I had the pleasure of making a music video of it for the PG/Stable Diffision contest and had the honor of being selected as a Top 20 Finalist. Can’t wait to see it live this fall in Los Angeles!

Tony, this is Michael Miller (Josh‘s godfather/mentor/jester) just wanting to say that it was so very cool to see the history of this beautiful song! 🎵🩵🎵

fascinating...I know how comes a visual artwork, but no idea at all how comes a piece of music and how it is constructed...looks like how grows a house...
