    Just a truly beautiful song...

    but we tried.

      @@matthewlukesandoval It makes me very happy to see that you replied here. I hope you are doing well. This song got me through some hard times over the last 16 years. I know it is likely a big ask, but do you still have the audio file for this? I downloaded it from MySpace all those years ago but have lost it.

    • @michaelb.wathen8776
      @michaelb.wathen8776 5 лет назад +4

      Like the original, it’s actually suitable for any relationship. Gay, straight or otherwise. Not sure I see any difference aside from the gender of the singer or pronouns sung. And if this is the the one thing that makes it “gay suitable” than you’ve clearly missed the mark. Such a heteronormative evaluation. IMHO.

    Just discovered this. I can't breathe. I am on the floor shaking right now. An ambulance has been called. I am dehydrated. I watched this video and have been shaking for nine hours now. I will never stop shaking. My neighbors below are pounding on the ceiling because my shaking is so violent and aggressive. I don't even know how I'm typing this right now because I am shaking so hard. My body is so bruised from all the shaking. I have been victimized by this video.
