You can really tell by his eyes that he has much sadness in him. From bullying and such. And on top of that go out and sing like this. Being brave and stand infront of the world like this. I admire this man.
Well, this guy got the success he deserved. I almost started tearing up a bit when I saw his face as he sang his fucking heart out.
He stood in front of a little crowd of a popular show in England called "Britain's got Talent' he dosent stood in front of the world.
Crave88evarC If you look at the truly great singers, there is almost always something that drives them or some moment in their life that defines them. You have to have something to draw that emotion from.
DrClawizdead true words mate.
Crave88evarC Well said. I'm not a fan of opera myself but I've been on a youtube marathon because of him.
Im a metalhead. But this kind of music always breaks me into tears. Just amazing, glorious...
Same here. "Heavy Metal is the classical music of the modern age" - Orson Welles
Great director, but I must disagree. Classical music covers a wide range of emotions that metal cannot even come close too. If the modern era tries to simplify things and destroy them, than he was correct, metal is the new classical.
Xeiroteros Limbo Do you listen to metal?
Yup.I listen to tool too.
Xeiroteros Limbo Nice. Well, for my it also covers a wide range of emotions. But thats just me.
Doesn't this just make you wonder how many other people like Paul Potts there are out there working in stores and dreaming about doing what he did & also have the talent to do it? When you look at people like Paul, Susan Boyle, Jonathan Antoine & so on, it reminds you to keep dreaming & don't ever give up. VIVA LA VOCE!
Hello Heart. Hope you’re having a great day?
Yes it does
Very well said, Thank You.
This guy sounds ok, I like Jonathen better though. Might be just the sing seems not right to me.
Oh my I have tears 😢.. hidden talent!
I have been watching this for 15 years and I cry like a baby every time I see it. God Bless Paul Potts!
Same feeling.
There is no question that Pavarotti is a legend and he sang this perfectly...more perfectly than Paul Potts..But why is it that listening to Paul Potts makes me tear up.? That didn't happened when I listened to Pavarottis version. . Did you look at the audiences' faces as well as the judges? The female judge was also tearing up as well as pierce. And Simon had that look on him. ...This goes to show that sometimes its not about singing it better. Sometimes its the heart you put into it. You can feel this mans passion for opera as well as his longing to sing...all those years of stifling his dreams and if you put all that into a song it will have an effect on the listeners that even the greatest of the great cannot match.
RACCATTApalle91804 it is unfair to compare him to singers with classical training. I was talking about the heart in the performance and not the technical aspects of it. That heart is what made him win BGT. Also 'normal' audiences are not fond of opera so one has to sound well to impress. I heard many versions, this one isn't perfect but it has heart
RACCATTApalle91804 I'm sure they have. They certainly have the money to be able to afford to see one. His success is not about getting recognized to be the best because there are certainly many opera singers who put in years and years to even be recognized.
Have you ever had a dream? Something you truly want for a very very long time and yet couldn't follow that path for one reason or another? When life calls to sacrifice that dream because of something that takes precedence?
You heard it. He said he was there to sing opera. He knows sacrifice as the rest of us because his is the years of putting on hold for whatever reasons his dreams to be able to just sing opera. He never had any training but im sure from how much he seemed to love it he would certainly do if he can go back in time and if he had the means. People sometimes put their dreams on hold for whatever reason then sometimes they realize it was a mistake until the very end. People who became opera singers or performers are very blessed because they are were they want to be. They are following on their dreams. Why do you think he joined? I think he did it in the beginning for that one moment only. To be able to sing that one time in front of the world so that he has at least that moment to remember. He did not anticipate what the public reception would be. There is certainly no guaranteed of a win and you put yourself in the scrutiny of 4 judges and the people. They voted for him. He won because he sang it well-from the heart. I could feel that heart . it really isn't fair to compare him to others. I'm happy he is following his dreams. It may or may not last but the point is hr finally did follow it. Also, if I were to sing a pop song why would people compare me to the original or to others who sang that song? I ought to be judge by how well the people like my rendition.//
janekerigan235 Respect your thoughts, Good luck.
I so agree. It is the same with all art. Crude paintings and primitive wood. The humanity is all out there and we clutch it to our bosom, but the perfect - too perfect is cold to the touch.
You and others tear up when listening to Paul Potts sing Nessun Dorma because music: whether opera, country and western, polka or jazz, is meant to move you. I am a degreed, professional classical musician who is quick to tell the "experts" that "good" music, "good" singing is really in the emotions of the hearer. In this, it is similar to art. What is beautiful or good is subjective to the emotions of the person having the experience. If Paul Pott's rendition moved people in any kind of way, then his performance was good: one that accomplished through music what music is meant to do..
I have to watch this a few times a year because it is simply amazing. I hope Paul is doing extremely well now and is getting everything he is so deserving of.
+Johnny Collini Yeah
+Johnny Collini I come back here often to see Paul Potts defy the odds and Soar.....that gives me hope! Cheers
+Johnny Collini agreed!!
+Johnny Collini Paul is still singing over 100 concerts a year. He's living the dream.
Just saw this post, I also return to this video a few times a year, there's just something special about it, makes me believe life really does have those special moments.
One of the lessons to be learned from Paul Potts is to prepare yourself so you are ready before opportunity knocks. Many people don't know this, but Paul spent a lot of time and money learning and training. He spent a large portion of his meager pay to take lessons including going to Italy to study. And even after all his preparations, he still doubted himself such that he tossed a coin to decide whether to enter BGT or not. Imagine if that coin had landed the other way and the world never hears of Paul Potts.
Do what you love, the rest is just noise.
Everytime I hear Paul sing this, I spontaneously tear up.
ME TOO!!!
People comparing Pavarotti with Paul, people who watch Tv and know nothing about opera.
Really, they have not heard Pavarotti then?, I think that is where most have seen him on TV, thats where I heard him sing on TV, world cup.
Now, you can discuss the input of the voice or if he could hold the breath in comparison to Pavarotti etc. but why critizise people who watch the vid and leave their opinion.
And that's being said, even when it's unknown how Paul Pott could master this without the modern technique, and so it's hardly to say how much volume his voice really has, his voice itself and his input is not to criticise. (but I guess its fine :) ... So you could criticize almost every singer, because all are not perfect always, and this is just human and so its fine.
agreed
artfantasies I'm not criticizing people who watch and leave their opinion. I'm saying a fact.
And I'm not criticizing Paul, he is a good singer.
But Pavarotti is Pavarotti. There's nothing to discuss about this.
Alesio S All one has to do is watch this video and immediately after watch Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma... one don't have to be a specialist to notice that it's clear the difference... as you said Pavarotti is Pavarotti...
I have seen this audition a number of times and each time I weep. The sadness in his eyes at the start and then his perfectly angelic voice are quite moving. May he be blessed with as much happiness as he has talent.
Who's needing to watch this in April 2024 to feel humanity amidst current cruelty in world
🖐🖐❤
16 years....still goosebumbs..... he has an incredible voice.....the scream....... brothers ... the SCREAM
i still cant stop from crying every time i see this video although its been years ago.... Ordinary people do extraordinary things
👌
proof!
when most of the people in this show have amazing pure talents...
I get chills every time I watch this and a bit teary eyed.
You can never get bored from this .... amazing voice and what a great story.
Paul: "I am not too confident"
Also Paul: *Flawless Nessun Dorma*
Best best best ever audition ever
The most amazing thing to me is, even after he sings and hears the crowd's reaction, he still has that look of fear on his face that the judges might not have liked his performance.
I love simon's smile.
you can see it in his face. he's been through some shit
It's heartbreaking imho.
Thanks you
@@user-hk1ob9xi8l ??
Seen this hundreds of times, goosebumps and choke up every time...
+Alex S Exactly. I'm goosebumped all over.
+Alex S same....one of the best auditions ever.........................
Yeah me too man but idk why maybe because this song is very powerful and emotional!!
+Alex S me too
+Alex S me too
He and Susan Boyle are the most incredible examples of how an unassuming person can have magnificent talent and bigger dreams.
The lady judge’s expression always touches me. She has such passion in her heart. I love watching her as much as Paul Potts
What a nice and humble man.
He looks so sad, I hope a successful singing career brings happiness. He seems like a decent guy.
theseus quasitor he is a multi millionear now. he was in debt but now he is a rich man.
He has sung in the finest opera houses in the WORLD. There are three, '...Got Talent," singers that I know of that have gone on to global successes. Susan Boyle, one of the 'boy' singing groups, that initially sung independent of each other but Cowell made them unite and collectively they are enormous (it's midnight my time, and my mind isn't...all there at the moment so I cannot recall their stage name) and, or course Potts. There may be more, but at the nonce, I can only think of those three.
This video was 10 years ago. You can follow his career online
After 14 Years, I can´t stop watching this Video of an incredible Talent! Greetings from Germany
He's great, or sure! but please give also our "big Luciano" Pavarotti a try... -) I think you could like him...
4 minutes that changed this man's life. A wonderful man with truly incredible talent.
Its 2015, and I still watch this everyday to inspire me that I will never give up on my dream as a filmmaker. And it still tears me up.
Cresencio Medina
The Telekom does not, with you.
ursmue1937 And who is Telekom?
dai lee Thank you so much Dai Lee!
Cresencio Medina one of the biggest Phone and Internet-Company in Germany
Good luck to you! I look forward to seeing your films one day!
Jesus. Amen. I was goose bumping all over that.
I've lost count of how many times i have viewed this and i still get teary.
Shout out to Simon Cowell. Classicly understated response
His facial expression when listening to people gives you an idea what he had went through for many years. He is always prepared to accept humbly whatever he hears. You have been gifted wonderfully.
every once in a while I like to come back to this video and it makes me smile
There are several '...Got Talent" singers I go back to frequently... Susan Boyle, obviously, and Paul Potts, both from Gr. Britain. One out of Sweden, Freddy Amigo, one from Bulgaria, Svetlio Hristov (I think that's the correct spelling), and from the US Andrew De Leon, Charlotte & Jonathan and Brian Justin Crum . With the exception of Hristov, all share an 'unfriended' history or other such equally 'soul-killing' issues, so their success means a little extra to me. (This is just a little aside: There is one singer who, well, I have zero idea how I came across his video RUclips performance as it wasn't on any of those shows, but just in case you might enjoy hearing him also, he's the Rag'n'Bone man singing "Human.")
It's still my favorite performance on "Anyone's Got Talent".
Now that's racist
Puccini, what for a compocer!
someone's got talent
iu
What's Anyone's Got Talent?
Saw a picture of Paul when he was about 7yrs old, did he look so sad, its haunting. I know of Pauls horrendous bullying at school, it was everyday of his school life, it shows in the way he came on BGT. This man is just amazing. I remember a boy constantly bullied at school, he was afraid to mix socially even when he grew up, Teachers don.t give a dam or afraid of the bullies parents who themselves are often bullies.
The education bureaucracy don't give a damn so long as they get their paychecks and pensions. The name of the game is not nurturing the next generation, but to get them out the door and make room for the next batch; public schools are nothing more than diploma factories.
He had that inside him for his whole life. What a wonderful thing to show it to the world.
After 10 years, the magic is still there.
Paul Potts and Susan Boyle, 2 of the biggest surprises I've ever seen. A couple others that were very surprising, are Carly Rose Sonenclair and Josh Krajck.
And Karise Eden !
Michal Novák Oh man...That Karise is amazing...Reincarnation of Janis Joplin..!!
I still get the chills when listening to this. Every single time and I watched it more than 10 times now
Kobus Janse van Rensburg Yes, I do as well. It actually brings tears to my eyes listening to him perform. It is so powerful and unexpected. I have watched it numerous times and I never fail to get chills and moved by his performance.
Richard Stamm Me too, I always cry and get goosebumps :) The whole thing moves me so much
For all the Pauls, Jonathans, and Susans who face a tough crowd of critics, I applaud your fierce tenacity.
Damn right!
been the first ever winner on BGT is definitely something to be proud of. it all started with him
It's been 10 years, but I'm still listening.
I just searched for it again tonight too. Brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful!
kebab defender I found this yesterday. Amazing.
I keep coming back to hear this special voice...
Me too Man!
OMG its contestants like PAUL POTTS AND SUSAN BOYLE who are the the absolute legends of this show....I am tearing up and reaching tissues right now...x
even all these years later, this performance still brings tears to my eyes 😭
10 years from this, amazing
rollingstone
Just watched his movie, amazing
great life story
Same :D
Gorge Kostov one chance
Awesome life story
Same :D
HE BECAME A DIFFERENT PERSON WHEN HE STARTED SINGING. HE PUT HIS HEART INTO IT. HE IS FANTASTIC.
You could literally see the transformation. He’s amazing
I bought his albums. Can’t get enough of this guy.
I just watched the movie "One chance", wonderful, amazing!!!!! Now I watch this video with other perspective.
Rodrigo Silva The same, first the movie, and now this video 👍
Rodrigo Silva same very touching
Rodrigo Silva Simon cryes
I really enjoyed seeing this. You could see some real sadness from his life that took a lot of courage to go out there. I am glad he has found success.
He's such a gem, you don't hear much of him but suddenly a couple years ago the guy popped up in the korean television show King of mask singer and in disguise sang korean songs and was good at it too. Was surprised to hear he likes the country and speaks the language even if basic, was very impressive.
I love it when an underrated person unexpectedly kicks everyone's ass!
What you see here is a triumph of the human soul. Look at that calm, yet unconfident and unsure man. He has throughout his life been beaten down, subjugated, and constantly defeated by outside forces. He has internalized this and consequently confined himself in a prison of fear. Now he is free. He has liberated himself, torn off the shackles of doubt and fear and become one with his inner passions and desires. He is at one with the world he has created, a world dominated by his beautiful voice, and he is now free. The oppressive forces that once tortured and controlled him are now gone; he is free.
holy fuk well written m9
?
Nice analysis m8
So true. You can tell that Simon is like "lets just get this over with" and when Paul was done it was like he had no choice but to acknowledge Paul as a great singer even though he didn't want to.
You don't know his life lmao.
People are moved to tears because this is what makes the human experience worth living
Something everyone tells you cant have and you find the strength inside to win.
Listen to the emotion and power in this performance .of this classic aria, its moving.
Guess who does it so much better than this?
I agree with you. It's a story for all of us
1:40 - This is the purest note I've ever heard being held in all my years of listening to music. It's just Angelic.
This is a gentle man with a God-given voice. Love his audition.. BRAVO Mr. Paul Potts.💜💜💜💜
Had to come and revisit this performance. I still get goosebumps and cry. So beautiful!
Linda Zalamea Me too.
I have watched this many times over the years for inspiration.....Love to see doubters and haters spoiled!!
Paul went through so much in his life to get to this stage performance and he totally knocked it out the park. Tears of joy 😊 ❤
Hello Ju. Hope you’re having a great day?
15 years and i still get goosebumps💕
Omg me too!!
You people who are criticizing his singing need to step back and enjoy this moment for a "common guy" to present himself so well. It is the moment that is enthralling. His life would be changed forever--unless he did not sing well. But he presented AND he did so in a humble fashion. We all have those kind of dreams but rarely act on them. By the way he won the competition so millions support him whether he is a tenor...soprano, alto or whatever...(Just words)
Just imagine... The sound of your voice makes woman cry of joy.
To have an everyman sing a piece like Nessun Dorma with such virtuosity and sadness in his countenance makes it hit home even more than Pavarotti. It's like a guy who's been bullied all his life through no fault of his own letting loose with an emotional ballad from the depths of his soul. I get even more emotional watching Paul's rendition than Pavarotti's, and that's saying something.
Paul Potts is okay in the realm of opera and there is a reason why you don’t hear about him today. I mean he studied opera at a musical college and didn’t made it after that.
I’m really really happy for him that he made something out of his great talent but There is nobody even close to Pavarotti
I didn't study opera at any college@@psirus89. I took private lessons as and when I could afford them. I used quiz show winnings and savings to take short courses in Italy, without much belief that it would lead to anything at all. Following an operation to remove a large tumour, I continued, but an accident when someone carelessly knocked me off my bicycle a few days after returning to work meant that I couldn't continue with my singing for 4 years before the audition.
@@paulpottsBAHAHA clap back of the century. You’re an inspiration, your singing brings me so much emotion. As a young music student battling mental illness, your story is amazing to me. ❤
This was some years ago. But whenever I need to get a piece of happiness - here we are… it’s about talent. About second chances. About hope. About surprising the world. About finally giving what you have.
This was all about Paul. But sometimes we forget to say thanks to Simon, who created a show that gives visibility to such amazing pieces and people. So, thanks Simon for creating a new world of missed talents, who would vanish silently otherwise🥹
I can't stand opera, but this dude's talent is undeniable....
+Branon Fontaine Look up Pavarotti, and say it again
+Branon Fontaine Look up G. Di Stefano, and say it again
The Dude after Paul must've have been like "Fck me... I have to go after that?"
samdl !
lol right
After 16 years, it still makes me goose bumps
....me too... ;)
I still don’t understand how people like this guy don’t get discovered sooner.
tiktok didnt exist back then
Every time I watch this video I still get chills and get choked up. He has an amazing voice.
Paul Potts is proof that you should never judge someone by their looks, but by the content of their character, and in this case their amazing talent.
Here here
Leauvaa Tiliaia
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Paul Potts looks - he is Welsh & there are lots of men in Wales who look like that (Cymru am byth!). The Welsh have a different genetic make-up to the English (I think that the Welsh are Romano Celts; Celtic, plus a component from the Roman occupation of Britain. In contrast, the English are Anglo-Saxon; with a German and Danish (and for the North of England with a Viking) heritage and who never settled much in Wales). I always thought that schools in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should do more in history to teach everybody about all of us, not just about one of the countries that make up The United Kingdom!
Matthew Gallagher
He's Celtic, and you must also have Celtic blood in you with a name like Gallagher. Do you consider yourself our society's perfect model? and while you answer, please define the word perfect for me......because 'perfect' is a subjective appraisal that depends on the viewer.......
PhysalisFranchetti Yeah i originate from Ireland. No i am not societys perfect model never said i was. Want an example of societys perfect model? Go to Victoria secret models. I am a realist and although i see the flaws in our society i do not delude my self to it
Matthew Gallagher
Society has a very distorted view of what a perfect model is. The images that can be seen on the web, show women of around about size 0, which, in my view, is a disgraceful role-model to hold up as 'perfect'.
If you read my original post carefully, you will see that I said "There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Paul Potts looks". I stand by my response to what the original poster said.
I remember watching this when my 12 year old autistic son suffered from PTSD. To say that life was rough at that time would be an understatement, but seeing Mr. Pots' triumphant audition made me believe that I still could dream about a better future.
That’s beautiful man
Amanda's outward reaction, expresses so well, the emotions going on inside us all.
I think it's because I judged him by his looks and how he carried himself and it made me so ashamed...but from the first time I watched this video, I cry EVERY TIME! This guy does not just SING the song..he lives the song, he delivers the message, he IS this song!!! I am so ashamed of my judging him and so proud of Paul. Still watching this all these years later!
You know thats the problem of most people even people who looks ugly to you can have talent and be good at something. Never judge book by its cover.
Arianeria
Yup...even at 47, I am still learning new things and relearning old lessons everyday. I guess that's a good thing...it means I haven't become stuck in my ways yet. :-)
Lonnie Appleby Yes people are learning their whole life. And thats the beauty of the life and humans, nobody is same and knows everything.
Still, in my opinion, the greatest, most legendary audition ever for a reality talent show. The gold standard upon which all others are measured.
Lonnie Appleby you are spot on Lonnie as they say never judge a book by its cover open it first before you make your mind up
After 10 years this is still the best damn video on all of RUclips. Paul - what a gentleman, talented, humble, the best. His presence brought out the most respectful response from Simon I've seen in quite a while.
Chevell shepard
Absolutely YES!!! 👍
Amira
Wow! Absolutely amazing 🤩 ❤️
Goosebumps, tears, feelings.. this dude is amazing ❤
love it so muck
This video is such a mark in history. The condescending way and pitiful eyes of the audience towards his looks, just before his sings is what was hindering this man talent from growing.
After years of lone preparation and gathering confidence he is able to explode in this audition like a supernova. He outshines everyone in that room, becoming bigger than everyone who had pity on him before. When he says "Ma Il mio misterio e' chiuso in me" it's like his voice is ripping that room apart and blowing away all those judging eyes.
When I saw this 10 years ago I was a fat slob much like him, and because of his help I've managed to completely change my life, blowing away the people who had belittle me in the past.
Thank you Paul.
This.
Draxis32 Definitely the best audition I've seen
Just couldnt have said it better myself... so important not to judge a person based on his/hers apperance.
I can tell you why this performance has a lot more likes and views than Pavarotti's. Pavarotti is a trained professional. Everybody can google any video of him or any recording, and it will be splendid. As per usual. However, this guy shows that there're absolutely no borders or boundaries for a true talent. It shows people, the whole world that your dream can come true and if you're truly gifted and follow your own path, you will shine. And people will kneel before your talent and recognize you.
This vid gets me every time.
Well put!
topgun966 don't forget skill! :)
It's also more current and relevant as it's from 2007 (After RUclips became popular) and not from the last millenium. I'm actually surprised that the pavarotti video has almost 30 million views, there are lots of brilliant old songs with barely any views at all while Justin Bieber songs trumps with 1 billion views. Views are generated 10% through content and 90% through publicity, a clip from the 90's rarely gets any publicity 20 years later.
I looked up José Carreras; Luciano Pavarotti; and Plácido Domingo. Then listened to the same segment (1:08 to 1:58)(obviously they would be different times). None of them did to my eyes as this particular rendition of Potts'. None of them moved me as much. They are all technically correct. Technically that is.
Can anybody explain this?
Jack U. You identify with his story, that could be why.
Ι always cry when I listen to him.
He put a ton of emotion into this performance.
keep watching this it's my favourite that's ever been on Britain's got talent and I still cry when I watch it
Jean Hodgson same here by far without doubt the best audition ever on BGT and the best winner me and my partner loved Paul Potts we was watching the final while she giving birth in the hospital lol
"What are you here for today, Paul?" "To sing opera"
10 years later, still gives me chills
That's the Reason why I'm watching these Shows. It's because of people like Paul Potts and Susan Boyle who have no chance, but they're takin' it to make a dream come true.
I agree. I watch only for the chance of seeing a great performance which doesn’t happen often.
It's so wonderful to see the condescending, patronising 'judges' eat humble pie. Good on Paul Potts
I always come back for inspiration.
me too.... hes voice really restore my soul and give me hope....
Last year I was standing with Mr. Potts in an elevator of a hotel in Seoul. He was such a nice guy and started chatting. Good to see that someone who is so humble and has a 'regular' job made it big in the showbizz. Well deserved for this man.
I fell in love with PAUL POTTS, in this presentation of Britain's Got Talent, - he looks like those teddy bears that are in the store and we are dying to take it home; he's cute, besides being incredibly humble and talented! My husband and I wish him to be SUCCESSFUL ALWAYS!!! (BRAZIL)
One of the best moments on tv. I watched it live and had no idea what was to come next! Amazing!
Such a wonderful voice !! Great really! !
watched it again.. still crying... so genuine.
I just love the humanity .... it is soooo wonderful; I just can't say enough good things about this video.. I know it's old, but it still stands up .. .till this day.
makes me cry every time I watch it.... truly blessed... the voice of GOD.
Das sind Stern Stunden - niemand hat es ihm zugetraut und dann diese Stimme. Wundervoll!
Paul and Susan had to be the biggest surprises of the entire show.
When i hear this man singing here, and what he did to that crowd and those judges. Just amazing. And I still cant but shake when i see and hear him here!
Still sends a shiver.... right down my spine!
welshdragon2008 imagine him singing Land of my Fathers. That would be something.
0:57 You can see the dollar signs appear in Simon's eyes, I swear before God.
OHMYGOODNESS IM LAUGHING SO HARD
lol... I call it Simon's 'cha-CHING!' look, like he's hearing all the cash registers. But he has a pretty good track record, all things considered, so there you go.
My thought exactly. All of them looked like "Oh my God, yeah sure, he's going to try to sing an opera, this guy is deemed to fail" and a few seconds later BAM.
*Pound signs
ElFino013 rsrsrsrsrsrs
Amanda turning around and seeing the crowd giving a standing ovation with tears in her eyes is great
Paul shocked the world. His voice is magnificent and he has gotten to live his dream.
Wow, over 10 years now!!! Who else came here from time to time over the years? :-D Have a good day!
me. About my 10th time since day one.
This wasn't just a really great performance, this was actually a notable moment in musical history. Piers, Amanda and Simon were blessed to be present.
It brings tears to my eyes what a voice and such a humble man.He got there and he deserves all the success.

Right in the feels. Everytime.
I hate opera but this guy sent chills down my spine
He sings beautifully and I'm crying.
This is my comfort youtube video, I just come back and watch it yearly
