This is the most beautiful song ever. Our youngest son was fighting 2 types of cancer every time I turned the radio on it seemed to be played. It gave me the strength to carry our amazing son to battle through his illness.He's still with us 11 years on xxx

Me and by best friend Joe were working on his Ford Bronco late one night, having a good time, this song came on as we were working and we just started singing and comparing the pain to working on his Ford. Joe passed away suddenly this last February 28, 2023, I can't get over it and this song now makes me happy for the memories it brings back.

[preskennedy]

I am turning 60, I am so disappointed with humanity, it is a good song, one of songs I learned early on guitar, simple but rings true, hang on

[kaworahothersall]

I myself went through a stage where I didn't want to be here.
I tried to end it.
Fortunately I failed..
I wanted to make sure my sisters would be okay with their life choices.
Now I'm going great 👍.
Find something, anything to keep going.
You are absolutely beautiful!
Life the greatest game you will play bar none!

[markfenori]

Still nearly 20 years on and nothing has changed !! Thanks god we have this wonderful music
