"Two children who are frightened and two adults who are frightened but responsible for the children." I'm meditating on this as a teacher during the pandemic. I wish!

I always thought that it was ‘no one is alone’ in that no one is alone in their human experience of confusion and conflict... we’re all human - no one is alone in their humanity.

3:15 in which song does this occur?

[@thomasshockley4129]

D. Brown stay with me

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

@@thomasshockley4129 It's also the main melody of Giants in the Sky(listen to the very first lyric).
And it's also introduced during the opening underscoring of The Witch's Rap, and makes up for other various parts of the score.
