I remember one of the first times I heard this was during a school trip and we were driving through the wooded countryside and blabbering away like school kids do, then this came on the radio and everyone just fell silent for those few minutes. Afterwards there was a sort of collective sigh and someone said "ahh that was nice" then we all went back to chatting away like normal. It was just such a lovely little peaceful bubble in time within what was otherwise such a ruckus that for some reason is etched into my memory.

This is a really good song to listen to when you are lying in bed in the middle of the night, and you just want to think.

[DelfinaHanna]

Listening to this while it's raining lightly outside with a cup of hot peppermint tea, a warm blanket, fuzzy socks, and a good book makes me feel quite heavenly.

[PartyNowStudyLater]

Sometimes this song just gives me strength. Other times, it completely just breaks me down.

My childhood was nothing like this and yet I feel a strange attached nostalgia watching this....

[laurajane]

These videos make me so sentimental about living. Like if we could somehow watch this after death, we'd get emotional from remembering the amazing privilege we had of experiencing life as beings in this world.

[leslicornesapaillettes]

i think this song is the saddest song i know and at the same time full of hope. I don't really know how to explain this but anyways i really like that feeling

[donniegrande]

This song was played in my friends bed before he died of cancer rest in peace brother!

[pollitomalo]

"I will remember your face, cause I'm still in love with that place..."

[wyslannikmatkinatury]

I just had that feeling when you first time hear your favorite song.

[joachimmontinola]

This makes me wanna think about life's mysteries, the books I've read, imagining a place with a couple sitting on a bench on autumn looking over a lake...This reminds me of the earth, I wanna protect it. This makes me wanna live life, take lots of photos and sceneries of this beautiful earth. I want a girl who can understand all of this. I want to cry.

Edit 9/21: Still love this song. Just started as a freshie in uni! Missing my teenage days where I'd sneak the car out with my friends and watch the far sunset on the mountains. Loving life rn.

[BlackStarCrona]

Don't have a heart-warming story, or any kind of nostalgic memory, but I will say, this song, coupled with a nice warm fire and a clear sky full of stars...pretty nice.

[illgilligan]

the emotions music brings out of people is incredible.

I lost my mother 3 months ago from colon cancer... This song is the only thing that reminds me of her. This song and a picture of her is all that remains of her.

[ingy]

5 years ago I fell in love with this song, I still come back to it in times of nostalgia or if I'm feeling cathartic. It is one of the best songs I've ever had the privilege of listening to. Incredibly evocative and poignant...

[finngirling]

The line 'When the stars are the only things we share, will you be there' Gets me every time. This is one of my favorite songs and it's so underrated!

[JuliusFawcett]

This is so magnificently beautiful. Such wonderful sensitivity, delicate poise and harmony

[RickyR]

So beautiful...to live in this time and place... I hope music like this can live on forever.

[jamesporquez]

we didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.

[Emily-mbnf]

This makes me wonder about my future. Will I have a husband, will I be healthy, will I be happy? What would happen to my parents? Where would I go? How would I grieve? This is a deep song; not many things make me feel this way.
