  • @nprovenghi271
    @nprovenghi271 10 лет назад +5475

    Keane's version of the song is more focused on the present, like going finding love somewhere special and embarking on that jounrey. Lily's version is more wistful and feels more reflective, like after you've figured out where you need to be and are looking back on the way you took. Either way, the song itself is a masterpiece and I'm so grateful to both artists for their contributions.

    My dear wife saw this advert and said it reminded her of the two of us. When she found out the Bear and Hare could be purchased as cuddly toys, she reserved the last two and bade me that we drive forty miles that day just to pick them up. Three months later she collapsed and died in my arms. I still have the Bear and the Hare...

This beautiful piece of music holds a very special place in my heart! RIP Miss Hood ❤😥

    I remember when I visited my dad, we'd go down to this nice coffee shop in the city and they would always have this song playing. Me and him would have really nice conversations where we could say whatever we wanted and it was probably one of the happiest times of my life. I hadn't spoken to my dad in so long and I know he gets really lonely when I don't call but this song made me remember that moment and made me pick up the phone and call him. He was unbelievably happy to hear my voice and we still go down to that coffee shop to this day.

    And still some people say she can’t sing 🤔 You don’t need to have a huge belty voice or do riffs on every word to be considered a good singer. She’s got a beautiful, distinctive tone and she’s very sincere when she sings. Her version of this song resonated with me far more than many others.

      this song is just so bitter sweet for me... whenever i hear it i remember those simple days but i also remember that we can nvr go back to them anymore... even our friendships have scattered into the wind...

      ambient shadows I also thought it was Brother Bear at first but it isn't. Currently I'm just assuming that they surprisingly created this animation specifically for the music video or a short film.
      *Edit* : I just checked. It was a John Lewis Christmas advert (2013, the bear and the hare)

      It's an ad? That's a little disappointing,but it's beautiful still.

    How’ya Lilly
    If just by chance You happen watch this Beautiful Video and Listen to Your Beautiful Voice over the Christmas ….
    Just so You know the comfort this Song and Your Beautiful Voice brings to soo many People around the World,

    I will listen to this song during winter.
    It's like a tiny present waiting under the Tree.
    It's tiny but the most beautiful present you've ever got.
    And you will listen to it the whole day.
    Dancing to its music when no one is watching.
    It's not yet Christmas but I'm celebrating...

    For some odd reason when I listened to this song one day I saw it in a different perspective then I usually did. Usually I would listen to this song and feel happy but then I listened to it and started crying.. the reason being my best friend for 5 years now and I will be separating after this year and going to different high schools and I worry we won't keep in touch. And the line "I'm getting old and I need something to rely on" reminds me of wanting proof that we won't stop being best friends. The line "lets go somewhere only we know" reminds me of the day me and her became close. We were walking on the bay and talking for hours and didn't realize it was getting close to high tide and we ended up getting stuck on wooden pillars and we slowly tiptoed across the pillars for the fact that the bay water isn't something you would want to walk through.. and we talked about so much and I guess we realized how much we needed each other. So this "somewhere" reminds me of the bay and that day.
    And I'm starting to really wonder if this could be the "end to everything"

      Yes, at times, friends change and drift apart. Not necessarily though. My best friend and I are still connected 37 years later. We met when we were 10. We went different ways after high school and she's still my 'bestie' today. Love, even just between the best of friends, will not change over time. Yes, you will miss her. And you both will fall into fits of laughter and renew the closeness when you reconnect. It will be okay. Cherish the times you have had and keep in touch via facebook or telephone and hopefully your parents can help by allowing you to see each other out of school. You have a precious shared memory that you both can relive. :)
