    First off, THANK YOU to Deadmau5 for reposting my video less than a few hours it went up. Day/week/month made. Secondly, I was having internet trouble last night while uploading and it appears this affected the video (with the stop at 1:50). I apologize. I am re-uploading as we speak and will attach the fixed link to this one once it is ready. Thank you so much for your patience, people! You all rock :)
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Hey everyone, this song was introduced to me by all of you a couple weeks ago. I was so excited when I heard it, and knew it was going to be featured up on the channel. For the arrangement, I decided not to go too crazy with the virtuosic elements, and keep it relatively tame. I hope you all enjoy my take on this!

    I just got married and this was the song that the wedding party and myself walked down the isle to. This was the song that was playing when the gravity of the situation hit me. I had been looking forward to this moment for a while. And I’m glad it was to this song. Thank you Evan!

    hey man, i used to hear this song cover of yours from the back of my parents car in 2013, back when we used to go to the beach and eat typical foods from our island and whatnot. It was so nice hearing this as we drove around. RUclips recommended brought me back here and honestly I couldn't be any happier. This brings me back to that time and place and I just couldn't remember that without this. I hope you're well.

    feeding on remains.
    We'll never leave,
    look at us now,
    so in love with the way we are.

    the world that the children made x2

      I have noticed that most videos on RUclips have close to 1% dislikes. The better the videos, the lower the ratio, but most of the time it's close to 1%. I'm pretty sure it's not actually people disliking the video but RUclips enforcing a minimum dislike amount.
