LYRICS:

There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now

There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now

If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe

And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me
(You are the reason)
Come a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

BROOKLYN DUO BIO:

Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 1.2 million YouTube subscribers and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.

In 2014, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged Marnie and Patrick to continue creating videos. (Other notable shout-outs since then include ones from Taylor Swift, a-ha and Pearl Jam.)

Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. They also have a second YouTube channel, "Brooklyn Classical", which aims to introduce classical music to a larger audience through high quality, live video performances. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets, percussionist Ivan Trevino and cellist Cicely Parnas.

Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” Their music has also been featured on several television shows, including Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and America's Got Talent.

The best thing is how they look at each other. You can see Patrick's love of Marnie being carried by the music. And Marnie looking at Patrick and the smile that comes to her each glance. It is the same silent appreciation of my wife and I after 35 years.

I am 81 and a devoted fan of you and your wife. I LOVED this video, it lifted my spirits, more than you can imagine. I have followed you and your wife for a very long time and I adore your children as well. You can't imagine how much your music means to someone my age. THANK YOU. Gina Dodds (Long Island, NY)

[karentemple]

THE most beautiful couple of all time. You both seem to feel each other's soul and heart. So much love is in this, and felt throughout

[Jennilovesmakeup]

I think of my son when I hear this and I cried so hard. He is in his first year of college and I've had so many mixed emotions without him here. My son is the love of my life because I'm a single mommy. I miss him immensely. 🥺 Alexander mommy loves you more than my life. ❤

[gladysbirdwell]

Two of my friends had birthdays today and another two are recovering from serious health issues. What a wonderful gift to send to them.

[ginadodds]

I cried thru the performance, tears of joy at the beauty of your playing. Looking into your husband's eyes brought tears to my eyes. You are an amazing couple, with many talents and I spend much time listening to both of you perform. God bless your beautiful children. THANK YOU. Gina Dodds (81) one of your devoted fans!

[melissalourdescumpio]

Love your chemistry. Whenever you two play, you are perfectly in sync. It's beautiful to watch and listen to.

[ellenbauer]

One of my favorite songs even though it is dedicated in my mind to my Mom and our beloved car Mattie, who both passed away in a short time. Your rendition is gorgeous! Somehow it helps drain my grief. Thank you!

[marcusxmac]

Thank you for reminding me that such beauty exists in the world. Almost brought me to tears!

[natalieklempel]

My fiance and I are getting married in two months, and I picked this as our first dance song. We met in March, got engaged in June, and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October. This instrumental version speaks to me much more than the original version. Im feeling a lot of disappointment and sadness these days, but just the melody, synchrony between the pianist and cellist, and their overall connection reminds me of the beauty in the world and the commitment that my fiance and I have promised each other. Things will get better.

[apongnwufopenawoh]

It’s so beautiful to see how you guys have grown together in music and in love ❤Thanks for blessing us with this beautiful piece that reminds us that love is a beautiful gift❤

[faithchang]

I am due to walk down the aisle to this beautiful master piece to My Beautiful EVERYTHING on the 10th of February 2024!😍😭 I Can’t wait!!! Thank you for creating this❤🙏🏽😢

[laurasathre]

This beautiful song was chosen for my daughters wedding in May 23'. She loves the piano, he loves the Cello. And I was thrilled to hear this. Thinking of her walking down the isle to this song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. Well done my friends! On a side note, you asked for Christmas music suggestions- WHAT CHILD IS THIS/GREENSLEEVES. Please. Thank you again for creating beautiful, moving music. It touches my heart.

[TheOriginalDazeman]

There are no words to express how truly gifted the two of you are and how much your' music has helped not only me but other members of my family through a period of grieving this year and that I continue to go through. I thank you for all that you do and have done and continue to do. You will always have my respect and love.

[chanNEG]

I listen to it every time I want to relax or when I'm not feeling well, and I'm always encouraged. Thank you for listening to such a wonderful song.
