    Good God!! This is what happens when you take a genius lyricist, five talented musicians at the top of their profession and add a brilliant classical quartet. Pure raw emotion. It's like a Perfect Storm of talent!!

    They have so many great songs, but this is my personal favorite. The last line, so simple, yet never have I heard it so eloquent.

    I saw them in concert and it was the best day of my life. I held back tears when they played this song, and tried to stop my self from screaming like a madman after Does this mean you're moving on. Two of my favorite songs. They are truly amazing.

    How can I explain to you
    The picture of this avenue
    The rain falls on the street outside
    And the window on this Tuesday afternoon
    I sit alone inside
    Same four walls I lived inside
    So many lives I lived and died
    But none so much as the one I lived with you
    I see you on the highway
    A thousand miles away
    Rain falls through your hair and cheeks
    Your tears and mascara streaks
    Your face reflected in the glass
    Lines in the pavement go past
    Just like the lines around your eyes
    They held the weight of all these sad goodbyes
    Everybody that I know
    Tells me just to let it go
    You run from everything they say
    You hurt the ones you love like me
    But here I sit and picture you
    Your fingers worn
    Your shirt torn through
    Your heart so big and broke in two
    Your mind drifting through all you knew
    Afraid to love
    Afraid to lose
    Afraid to start
    Afraid to choose
    Afraid to live
    Afraid to die
    Afraid you’ll let your days slip by
    Afraid you'll change or stay the same
    Afraid you'll lose yourself again
    Afraid of the truth that love
    Can cause you so much pain
    I felt it too
    I know, I know
    Darling, I wish it wasn't true

    I walk around my campus, with my hood pulled up, in the rain, listening to this song and remember the girl who broke my heart.

    Mikel doesn't write lyrics. He writes poetry that flows so beautifully that it has no other choice but to be sung with a perfect melody.

    Well I met a British girl named Georgia, the moment I saw her I fell in love and it has been a month since i saw her and I will probably never see her again because I live 7,000 miles away, but when I listened to this song it reminded me of her.

      @@wish21100 Hope you weren't one of those people I just saw on TV, in the UK at the beach. Hard to comprehend the blatant disregard of distancing rules after so many deaths but then that's easy to say from sunny Queensland where we only suffer winter for roughly two weeks a year. 🏖☀️

      @Lee H .. No not guilty .. I presume you are referring to Bournemouth .. Crazy ❗️ you would think people would be more cautious especially when we are well over 40,000 deaths from Covid-19 .. The wife and I pretty much stay home .. We have cancelled two Holidays planned for this year .. You know how to rub it in LoL .. Sounds like your Winters are about the same length as our Summers .. That said, it is hot in UK at the moment 😎 .. It won't last 😫

    Why won't my tv play any of thier videos from walt disney concert? Computer finds them on youtube just fine, but the search on youtube on my wireless tv won't bring up any videos from this concert...makes me so mad..I have a beast surround sound and this video deserves the very best sound equipment.
