    I heard this song years ago. I still sing this song alone, but I remember how, for a while, I sang the low harmony with a girl who used to be my best friend.
    We don't talk anymore. But I miss singing with her all the same.

    These sisters really, really know how to sing. Their breath control, phrasing and harmonics are preternatural. Pure talent, homegrown and natural. This song is an American classic.

    Hello Everyone, First we just want to thank Ben for posting our video to Reddit. We know he is getting a lot of negativity because people think his post is not real. It is real and he is a friend not a promotion person. :)
    We have decided to release the EP today because of the Reddit post. See the link in the video description if you are interested.
    Thank you all so much for the comments and thank you Ben for posting on Reddit.

    I don't normally buy music, no matter how much I love it. But I'm going to make an exception for you two, the music you make is beautiful and I want to see you guys make more of it. It gave me some intense feels.

    You two perfect, I can't get enough of your songs.
    The only criticism I can give is to have more expression when you sing, in your face. It makes the emotions of the song more believable and will impact the audience even more.x

I listened, then rewound the show to get your names. Came directly to youtube. Teardrops! So beautiful. I found out yesterday that my fiancé and I are pregnant! I'm so looking forward to new this chapter in our lives and am happy that you will be the soundtrack to it all. My new favorite music!
