I'VE LISTENED TO THIS SONG A MILLION TIMES!!! I THOUGHT I WAS IMMUNE TO CRYING THEN I WATCHED THIS

[@QuikVidGuy]

I gotta say, the subtle transformation when she first opens the music box is brilliant

[@RockerChicktv1]

Holy shit this version is beautiful. I cried. You both are phenomenal!

[@QuikVidGuy]

I love how whenever Michelle is approaching a gut-punch word, she draws out the word before it, like she's rubatoing in order to delay the hurt. it's not "Then, a moment of dread." It's "Theeeen, a moooomeeeent ooof dread."

This video made me realise that when Dan sings "The day that I lost you" he can also mean Diana and in this version, I'm sure he does 😭

[@QuikVidGuy]

Dan's pride leaves him feeling helpless. Rather than allow himself to experience grief, he just resigns to "I lost my son, I lost my wife, I'm losing my daughter, but I still have to pretend I'm ok." That's why the moment where he accepts Madden's offer to recommend a therapist so meaningful. Dan's the type to feel "Yeah, some people need therapy, but if I did it I'd be ashamed" and then he realizes "Oh. I'm just like anyone else. I'm allowed to feel pain."
