    Phil's writing is always so beautiful, but the addition of the band is absolutely masterful

    Just amazing. I loved this piece but hearing such an ensemble behind Phil makes it just haunting and beautiful.

    Oh, how wonderful! I love this poem. I always imagine what the music in her ballroom is like, now I don't have to, and I can just dance along. Very nice, thank you. ❤️
    Ps; Now I wish someone would make a short animated movie to this. 😵😍

    I can’t lie this poem makes me think about the stories I will tell my grandmas that are left the ones where they told me God makes no mistakes and doesn’t hate gays because of me being created. The memories they have of dressing me and dresses and skirts and me never accepting that norm I will not lie I am greatful that towards there end they have no hate only love for me
