    The song is effortless, emotional without being sappy and memorable! It's a classic!

    Our wedding song and the song that I will forever remember while I played it on his last breathe he took. I feel like it simply flowed through him while I played it on his chest .. I will cherish forever 💕💔

    the way Gary almost downplays how much of an impact this song has/is had/having on the WORLD is wild to me. what an absolutely wonderful human.

    This was played at a work colleague's funeral who sadly committed suicide😢...it was such a shock.I had no idea that she was suffering . I saw her on Friday and by Monday we heard the news 😢when I arrived at work. To this day, im still so sad 😞 that in that space of time , whilst we were all preparing to return to work after the weekend, we had no idea that she had taken her life 😢. We still dont know why!?.
    Rip Karen, my love 😢. 💓 ...I still think of you and remember what you were wearing and what you came to borrow from me at work that day to support you in your work.
    Returning home after the burial, I was numb and emotionally drained 😢X

    Refers to talk with his dad about girls. Discussed some girls he liked which his dad thought he had no chance with. His dad would say you are chasing cars.
