I know this song. This hotguy named Alex sang this song for talentshow. It's beautiful.

The lyrics are perfect. I love that-- they're realizations I never made but I identify with. I especially was struck by "and you can't fight the tears that ain't coming" because there are so many sad situations that somehow don't elicit tears, even when people around me might be crying... it's one of the things I never thought of so simply but, when put like this, I wonder how I never considered it.

I know. Iris, you have such strong and clear opinions on things that sometimes it just strikes me. You are just amazing

Thank you Kyeyu. Your words inspire and comfort me too. You are amazing to me.

Rose will be your song and I'll remember you when I hear it. Rose and Iris, they're even both flowers.

If you believe in destiny-- well, even if you don't-- this is something special.

Don't you just love it when you find songs that somehow relate to your life? It's just amazing how songs can touch your soul so deeply that you fall into silence of thoughts.

This is why I think my soul is so connected to music. Art, it is wonderful, and drama and dance, they make me happy, but nothing compares to music. Music is the one aspect of my life that never loses its meaning and never falters. The one thing I can always be a part of even when my voice is scratchy or I don't have guitar-- I only have to listen to a song in my head and I can fall into a reverie. My peacefulness comes from music, it is music, and it is silence. Silent thought is so pure and perfect but I would never find it the way it is now without music. If I am ever hurt badly, paralyzed or in a coma or so that I cannot enjoy music how I used to, I want to be able to hear music all the time and I will live for that.
