Her voice is very calming and soothing. I could listen to it forever..

[KenzieMor]

Oh my! Why am I in tears? I feel her heart.

[LithaMoonSong]

I cried when she cried. It is emotional to find parts of your own identity have been hidden from you.

[merricc]

I understand her emotional response to the drumming: music reaches us on visceral level and that sound is solidifying the newly discovered musical connection to her ancestor. Very moving

[bonnymcdermott]

The more I see this woman, the more I love her. She's a special, insightful, creative mind that's inspired me a couple times for sure.

[The-Portland-Daily-Blink]

She's so lovely. Such a smart, thoughtful and insightful woman. I've always loved her. Steven Tyler is lucky to have such a beautiful daughter as she is. She is beautiful inside and out.

[leelindsay]

The drumming was so crisp and clear. Well done.

[terenasimons]

Such an awesome journey for her to find out about her ancestor, she's a sensitive soul too, that was powerful!!!!

[katherinecarpenter]

[georgepinger]

wow, liv sounds like a caring person and sincere

[johngallagher]

My great-grandfather was also in the Civil War. He ran away to Boston from what is now the Bronx to enlist. I am so happy you had the chance to learn about your ancestor.

[vitoaugello]

Some ladies are just adorable forever.

[hazzyhugh]

I hope she finds what she is looking for. Beautiful soul. So much respect for her trying to find out her own ancestors. Most young people don't care anymore. Bless her and her lovely family.

[violetmilan]

Um why did I cry with the playing of the drums 😢😢😢😢

[markwaldron]

The real question is how Liv has hardly aged since the 1990s.

[JohnLaRue-zpuj]

Ms. Tyler sure has a lot of family history to investigate. Wow! Excellent posting.

[hippomancy]

her openness is lovely. it has contributed much to her appeal as an actor. and her voice is so calm, so calming

The drums, bugle, fife, and piccolo along with signal flags were ways to communicate with each other on the battlefield and were a huge part of a soldier’s daily life in these times. Before radios that was the predominant way to communicate especially during the noise and confusion of battles.

0:20 My great-great grandfathers fought in the Civil War and would have heard that drumming, so when I heard it, I wept with Liv...
