My wife would sing this when we where dating, I proposed to her to this song, and it was the song we had our first dance to as a married couple, she died a year ago, I haven't wanted to hear it for a while, as it still makes me feel sad, but I just want to hold her, I miss her so much,
Listening to this on loop. thank you Carel Mendoza.
pretty sure she's besides you.
when time will come you'll be besides her. good times are always too short, but isn't it what makes them good?
Aww.. Don't worry, friend! She'll always and forever be by your side! :)
Always in your heart.
Oh man, reading this made me cry. I know it's been a year since you made this comment but I truly hope you're doing better now, I hope you've kept her memory alive.
50% of comments: Scrubs My Finale
Other 50%: South Park's Tweek x Craig
I first heard of this song in the movie Shall We Dance
first i was scrubs and cried and now i'm tweekxcraig and can't stop laughing. south park ruined this song but damns is the episode a good one.
Tweak x Craig
Actually no. I discovered this song from my sister's college music book. The strange thing is we both already knew how it went, even though at the time, we'd never heard it before. I really thought it was in the Princess Bride credits, but it wasn't. Still a mystery I guess.
South Park immortalized this song
I first heard this song on Scrubs. It was emotional. And now that Ted has passed away it just hits hard again.
Chase D Ted ?
@@thenlnlkn Sam Lloyd passed away on April 30, this was the man that played Ted the lawyer on Scrubs. Thats who chase is talking about when they said the name "Ted"
xfiles7016atx holly crap really .... that sucks, he was great.
Just watched the final episode of season 8 today. Very sad seeing Sam knowing he's not around anymore.
So this was tragic news to me 😭
Whoever is reading this: whatever you have been through, whatever pain you may carry with you, you are loved, may your life be filled with peace and love from now on❤❤❤
❤❤❤😢
Xx😂
♥️🙏😘
When my wife and I went to see the movie "SHALL WE DANCE" we adopted this as our love story. Forty-two years together, MARRIED STRONG!!!
Happy for you; my parents were similarly devoted; vr lucky that they were my parents. Best wishes.
Wow most marages does not hold that long (how much superglue did you use😅😅) JK i am happy for you
I hate romance movies and under protest, I took my wife to see it. It had an amazing impact on me. Every time I see the movie, I remind myself how lucky I am.
I cried and cried and cried a little more at this scene . Love is actually all around us .. we just have to train our eyes. God bless
@Gaymar Omar your boyfriend tyrone
Everybody just leave me and Tweek alone
no
Hahaha
Craig Tucker you Guys are so cute thihihi
Sure Bro.Yaoi sucks.
Hello IMPOSTER!
This beautiful song was written by Stephin Merritt. Peter Gabriell's interpretation does this great song justice.
No it wasn't.
@@lollipop84858 Hello, who do you think who wrote the song?
Anyone can find the following information on the internet:
The Book of Love' was written by Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields and features on Peter's album 'Scratch My Back'.
Greetings Robby
Google can be your friend. I have loved this album by STEPHIN MERRITT and the Magnetic fields since 2000.
""The Book of Love" is a song written by Stephin Merritt and attributed to The Magnetic Fields, an American indie pop group founded and led by him. "The Book of Love" appears on Magnetic Fields' three-volume concept album 69 Love Songs, which contains 69 tracks described as "love songs", 23 tracks in each of the three volumes. The three-volume album was released in 1999, with "the Book of Love" appearing in volume 1 as track number 12."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Love_(The_Magnetic_Fields_song)@@lollipop84858
@@lollipop84858 Yes it was.
This song captures everything life is. If you can find your other half , you have won the game of life!
This song doesn't capture anything buddy. This song is part of a concept album by The Magnetic Fields called 69 Love Songs which is about love songs and not about love or anything particular about life. You would know that if you had any idea about Stephin Merritt.
If is the keyword

Take a moment to self-reflect on how miserable you're being underneath this beautiful fucking song.
@@Lucifronz I've knows this song since it came out over 20 years ago you fucking twat. This is a cover song which is part of a concept album. But obviously you only know Peter Gabriel's cover and and know the lyrics taken out of context.

fuck scrubs is good...

This song always rips the heart out of my chest.

Tweek and Craig 💙
YES
My grandmother Passed away tonight. She loved this song.
I've never known as fierce a love as she had in her heart.
I feel you bro a loss is the most emotional intense feeling on this planet stay good
RIP
Sorry for your loss 🙁
Sending you healing vibes ✨ and love. Sorry for your loss.
Requiescat in pace
"It's never good to live in the past too long. As for the future, thanks to Dan, It didn't seem so scary anymore. It could be whatever I want it to be." - J.D.
Who was Dan?
JD's brother! Dude how can you not know! Half of the episodes with dan were freaking amazing! Like the one were dan tells off dr.cox for turning jd into a synical doctor
.
+girlatthecrossroads this was the last thing JD said in the final episode of season 8. I know which episode you're talking about and this quote isn't from it.
+유예찬 his name isn't Dan, it's captain bubble beard.
i know every word to this song thanks to Tweek x Craig
but.... never realized it's an actual song til right now oh my god.
i want a lover who loves this song enough to sing it to me.
i thought i was the only one who heard the song from tweak x craig and really liked it
@@sidneyunknown6698 I heard it on Scrubs, and then Tweek x Craig reminded me of it, my all time favorite south park episode..
This is sad.
The first time I heard this song was on South Park but it still makes me very emotional and I think that’s a real testament to how good it is
No, Cupid Me! I''m not homosexual!
I'm here because of South Park too, but I stayed because of the powerful emotion. My mom passed away two weeks ago, and this has helped me grieve.
Same
I can't believe this is a real song. The lyrics seems so South Park.
Me too😂
I miss Scrubs..it had the best series finale of all time and remains my favourite sitcom
It's so hard to end a show right. Even Seinfeld didn't do it right, in my opinion (I guess it fit the tone, but it always left a sour taste in my mouth).
So when one of my all-time favorite shows did it right (ignoring that... extra season), it was very satisfying.
@@Lucifronz What extra season? Scrubs ended with JD driving off in his Prius.
REPEAT - NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER THAT.
@@JABoyle3875 Agreed. Series 9? What Series 9? Scrubs only has 8 seasons!
@@chrishargreaves8016 well season 9 was supposed to be a new show but they kept title for attraction
@@jeffcacciatore5673 actually it was the title was morphed back to Scrubs for syndication.
the only real final scrubs episode
true
Chuck!
+mani z yeah i hated season 9
they ruined scrubs with season 9
+mani z i didn't mind the ninth season to be honest, i think it just gets blamed for ruining the perfect ending. they should have ended it with this. It was amazing
+mani z True dat. Hooch WAS crazy.
Tweek and craig are really a great couple
Yeah
I always find myself coming back to this song every once in a while and crying.
Yep. It is profoundly meaningful -- touching on the fragile beauty that we sometimes take for granted. Let's not, okay?
*JD stares at the projector, looking at his amazing future.* *Im at home crying of course* #Scrubs
Me too
The greatest ending to a sitcom ever!!
Ugly cried for sure
So I just completed the Scrubs series. As a medical intern myself, I really could relate to the first 2 seasons. The most beautiful thing about the show is how they were able to keep the characters intact from Season 1 through 8. That is truly remarkable.
A truly remarkable series.
That's what I loved most about scrubs.
It was real (for the most part)
IKR???? All These modern bs Series like grays Anatomy, private practice etc. are trying so hard to be Realistic, and Failed, While Scrubs achieves it bare-handed..
*achieved ;(
Never really thought of that, besides guests it was the same cast for it all.
And what amazing is is watch the first episode and then the last and see how the characters have changed. It is soo amzing. Love the show
One of the best songs ever. 2023 and still listening
This song is so beautiful! I played it at my wedding reception to my wife as we danced slowly to it together. Such beautiful memories! Thank you Peter for performing such a beautiful song!
those songs that hit you in the feels when you dont expect it
'hit you in the feels'...ugghh
This one hit me in all my feels groups, man. I am saving this to several playlists of mine.
I think that's how kids these days say "tug on the ol' heartstrings."
the Sententious Vaunter, that's about right.
Benjo Woods true👍🙋❤
If you can listen to this song without getting teary-eyed, you've got a heart made of stone. My parents don't know it, but this song is going to be the background music for a montage of pictures of them over the years when we have a party for them for their upcoming 55th anniversary.
That’s awesome! Love this song for that occasion. Did they love your montage?
Oh, yeah, because not getting emotional over songs is surely a sign that someone is cold hearted
Kappa Pride just let people be…
this so sweet. you are also full of love like this book!
@@NikkiTaylor85 let people be? I mean if they are calling other heartless? Nah
One of the best love songs of all time. Severely underrated.
Crying….reminding me of a boyfriend who suddenly passed and what a soul connection we had and how I miss it.
Craig and Tweek are relationship goals. Tweek and Craig 5ever.

On December 24, 2013 I asked my girlfriend at the time if she would marry me, this song was playing in the background.
This year we are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary!

Nudah man I remember the very first time I saw that episode...cried like a baby the whole way through💕
Came here because Neil Gaiman choose this song to the Aziraphale and Crowley playlist, and now I'm hoping and dreaming about a romantic scene with both.
I dedicate this song to my now wife. Today is our anniversary. Last month she asked me to sign papers invalidating the love she promised me until I died. I wanted forever and she wanted forever too, just not with me. I’ve finally accepted it and this song was the only thing going through my head today. I Love you Rach. While the music dies, I hope you’ve found the happiness I was keeping you from. I’ll love you until the sun doesn’t rise anymore.
I feel you, pal. Same boat. Be strong.
I'm so sorry😢. Hope you're doing much better now. The sun will shine again❤.
Beautifully poetic
Get yourself a girl who looks at you the way Craig looks at Tweek.
Craig and Tweek
Made me think of my grandparents and now I'm crying. 63 years married and now together for eternity.
I love this song ❤️who’s still listening December 2019
Iam
It never gets old!
Right here.
Listening for the first time
Another, "Who is listening", sad case.
I've never been able to listen to this song without bursting into tears because of how simple and beautiful it is. I thought of it just now and said to myself, it can't happen EVERY time can it? So I clicked play. And held it together until partway through the last verse...tears.
You are not alone.
Yep. Silently sobbing.
This song is so good, it made South Park feel like a Drama movie.
😅🤣😁

Who let the lemon head into the room? You are a waste of life and you should give up

Who Else Is Here Because Of South Park Tweek x Craig And Actually Loves This Song?

Me too! I saw the Craig and Tweek episode of South Park the other day and loved it - and love this song. Because of South Park, I now have another song I absolutely love.
ɷ I Haveee Watched Thisss Movie Leakedddd Versionnn Hereeee : - t.co/e6QlTccFx6
It was the ending for Scrubs, made a really awesome closing scene which highlighted what's to become of J.D and Elliot.
the most beautiful love song I've ever heard
"Shall we dance mister Clark?" - anybody remember this? :)
Yes🥺
I saw this masterpiece again today afternoon but I can't even count how many times I saw it.
🥺🥺yesss
YESSSS
Everyone is talking about scrubs and I'm like what
I like how they were just friends that finally realized they could love each other too
I literally can't hear this without crying ❤️
Me neither 2022

my wedding day just started. and this is our first dance song. just few hours ...
Craig x Tweek FOREVER
*not canon.*
@@TerminatorTheory VERY canon actually.
Just finished rewatching Scrubs. Now I'm super sad-happy... This song and the last scene were a huge part of that.
Those last 10 minutes broke my soul. I was basically non stop crying from the minute he saw the girl who died of a cocaine overdose. Yes, I'm a tad over-emotional. It was a well done finale
Abigail Carroll would have been nice if John Ritter was still alive for that goodbye memory.
She died of Rabies, and they lost 3 patients because of this. Very sad episode.
Eduardo Scharf That's right!
I know, right. That was an awesome series finale! :)
Gänsehaut Und einer der schönsten Momente als ich diesen Song gemeinsam mit meinem Lieblingsmenschen hörte.Pures Glück.Das Lied ist moch da- der Mann nicht mehr..
I miss my ex fiancé so much. This song is so beautiful. I remember singing this to her once. I hope she remembers this song, because I loved her so much.
Scrubs brought me here.. That last episode makes me cry to this day..
best end ever!
Rik Polanski It really is. You could really tell the writers and actors were passionate about the world and characters they had created, and that final scene... makes me tear up ever time. Then the finish it up with the most perfect part.. you know what I mean. When JD walks out to his car, and the acoustic version of Superman plays. I have never seen a more graceful and satisfying end to an era in my life.
same here :)
Every time I watch that episode I get goosebumps, it is by far the best series finale of any show.
i think this song makes everyone Cry

Beautiful what you wrote!!!
Beautiful!!!
A song about the deep love that people who have loved each other for many many years. Such a pure, beautiful song. 34 years in my case.
I blame South Park for blowing my mind with this song... so beautiful, I literally cried. lol.
This is one of the best songs, it really is.
I’ve lost a few people in my life and listening to this somehow brings me comfort.
This song will never get old ❤❤❤
Love to anyone struggling out there.
My dad always use to say to me
“ things will always work out in the end, your strong promise “ and I trust him. ❤❤❤
Just finished Season 8 finale of Scrubs, this song was a perfect selection. The last two scenes where J.D. is walking down the hall and everyone that made an impact on J.D.'s life is there and when he's imagining/watching his future made me tear up to be honest. It was an amazing trip to take with the characters, an emotional rollerco... ride, if I may. Water work really started to flow during the credits when they're showing the behind the scenes of everyone's last shot of the show. The perfect ending.
+Paramjit Atwal I honestly never saw a better ending... Scrubs somehow means so much to me, i guess because im just like JD ^^ I saw every season at least 4 times and im still not fed up
+Menni I agree. Ive a very lively imagination and an I for the small things in daily life. Just like JD.
Season 8 finale. Don't you mean, "series finale?" Season 9 never existed.
th-cam.com/video/cTVpoT82toY/w-d-xo.html
Cutest episode of South Park ever! even though in the end they just became good friends :3
+Anthony James i'm glad the episode turned out the way it did because as crazy as the world is (be it straight crazy or gay crazy), even though Tweek and Craig were pegged together due to the craziness of others, they learned to fight through the crap that surrounded them, and Craig was able to inspire Tweek to be more than just a coffee drinking tweeker. We saw more character development between these two guys than most movies try to develop in a 2 hour time frame. We got a beginning, middle, and end. We saw the crap, we saw their struggle, we had a song, we saw a fight, we saw redemption, we saw compassion, and we saw unity through brotherhood. In the end, it wasn't about their sexuality or how the rest of the town saw their relationships. It was about two guys coming together and overcoming and shared disaster. They bonded in the end and became good friends, and in life, good friends are so hard to find.
Craig was no longer the middle finger giving prick and Tweek wasn't a coffee junkie. Their ending was absolutely beautiful.
+kyoko703 詩人的な分析に感動させられざるを得ないです。 ありがとうございます。
+kyoko703 that was beautiful :^)
Actually they ARE gay. It was confirmed by a few official South Park accounts
+somethingtodowithcat citation, please.
I never understood what getting "hit in the feels" truly meant. Is it this? My heart wants to explode and I want to cry, I want to smile.. goddamnit. I love this song.
I just proposed to my long time girlfriend and mother of my baby daughter to this song.
I didn't plan to have music playing initially, but I remembered this song and boy did I choose right.
I can't help but cry from happiness listening to this song, thank you Tweek and Craig you touched my heart. 💙💛
Thanks Craig and Tweek u touched a fangirls heart i love ye
This is a real damn love song. 😍
Stephin Merritt captured something special in this 3 minute song. I've never heard a more beautiful and intense song than this..
Am I the only one who can't listen to this song without crying
Not alone 💕💕
I highly doubt it my man
No, but only recently they've been tears of joy
@Tommy Walker nothing to congratulate for... But thank you. I just know that in my future I will dance with someone I love at my wedding to this song....whether thats in 1,10,30 years I don't care I just know it can happen
So the tears are kinda..... Hope for a better future
I don't have a boyfriend or anything but I already know this will be my 'first dance' wedding song with my husband in the future, whoever he may be.
This is gonna be my Wedding song and my funeral song. Fit perfectly.
Mine too, because I will mary you
miss rose It was my first dance at my wedding, trust me, that was magical... And Kenny, my funeral'll be Radiohead "street spirit"
miss rose fuck im a guy and single pretty much atm, and my future wife will either accept this song on our wedding day or the bitch will go up to the altar and straight past it, cause ill kick her to the curb...its too good and too true and too perfect not to be accepted on a perfect day
miss rose thats just about the most romantic thing i ever heard
This is the song my wife walked down the isle to. A moment for ever ingrained in my mind. =)
I rediscovered this song today, getting married in about 8 months, and I might do the same as your wife :) Getting teary thinking of walking down to aisle to my fiance just sitting here at home listening to it. It's downright beautiful. It also was in "Shall We Dance" that shows the ups and downs of being married for many years. Enduring, understanding, forgiving, and never-ending love was a theme, and I think this song wrapped it up so well.
It must have been a beautiful moment.
For me,this is what love is about.
I often come off as a sour person,and I'm generally not fond of people. Suffice to say,I used to mock people for acting like a couple would,all the "its the little things" speech,that seemed all too ridiculous for me...
But then I met her,a woman who wanted to spend a life at my side since the first day.She carved through all of my barriers ,and showed me what true love is. What a true act of love is to just spend a day toghether or to do things old married couples do like going for a stroll in the park... In the end,i was the one who got mocked,who got proved wrong about love and who got defeated in all my stubborness,but I don't dislike it one bit.All the stupid,boring and everyday things that I would do without a second thought,they become the whole world when she does them to me,or when we do them together.
My firstborn will come to this world in two months,and I'm just so damn excited to build my own family next to the woman I love,the one that makes all my world seem right,who makes me strive to be the better man she needs me to be...I just can't wait.
In the end,this is what true love is about.
That's what love. Love is powerful, love is full life and magic and poetry because you've change. Eventually, you too will grow old and you will remember everything you did for her!
Look at me, I never had a relationship for many years and yet I'm turning 34 years old this year, still very young like a kid, very small loving guy. I hope and pray you too getting along well, hold her tight gently, slowly, and cast away all your hate. Be a better person a loving husband and wife 🙂💟
I first heard this melody in film - ,Shall we dance". Beautiful... I love this
Why am I crying?

+Social Renegades That was disgusting serie, but very funny :D
+medashen09 why disgusting? I think this seasons been pretty tame compared to previous with people crapping out there mouths and that.
+Social Renegades i think its the best season yet
+Social Renegades i miss the years when South Park was all about profanity , racism, sexism and full of toilet humor. it became pretty preachy and more "story lined" than it was before.
+tomphson gun
Agreed!
It's intriguing that a song that was originally quite sarcastic and lo-fi can be transformed by a different performance and arrangement into something that hits quite a different emotional spot.
I first heared this master piece back in 2012 when I was in my first year at the Nnamdi Azikiwe university, in my home country of Nigeria. This is June 2023 and it remains one my favorites songs of all time.
This is our song. My spouse and I love it so much and this video in particular. We have been married 42 years and really relate to all the images shown here. Thanks again.
Bringt mir bis heute immer wieder ein Tränchen ins Auge. Großartig :'(

Everytime I watch this in Scrubs finale it gets me
32 years ago I married, I was young, just 19. Very few people have had this privilege, of having someone always there. Sometimes not in the exact spots we want , sometimes in the wrong spots, but always there. We have grown up together, we have changed a lot. There has been yelling, tears, worry. But if you get the chance, stay with that person, and you too can cry when sappy songs like this come on because you know how lucky you are.
Wow. If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye then nothing will. A lovely song full of emotion. Love it...
I never knew Peter Gabriel covered this until today. I've been a Magnetic Fields fan since 1995 or so.
I want this to be my "Walk down the isle song"
After Peter Gabriel was born, the mold was broken. Only one of his kind. Artistic, thoughtful, compassionate, he delivers his work with humility. Contemporary musicians don't hold a candle to him.
I haven't heard this in a long while ... moved me to tears, again
I found this interpretation for this song to be the best one
The point of this song is to show that love is not rational. The "book of love is long and boring". If love were a book, say a textbook, it's a deep, complicated subject and reading about it would be long and it would be boring. In fact it's too complicated, it's too heavy, so much so that "no one can lift the damn thing".
And it's tedious to talk or read about it. The best analogy for tediousness is the book would have to be "full of charts and facts and figures". And even more ludicrously, it has "instructions for dancing", as if you could learn how to dance by just reading about it! You kinda have to do it to learn it, just like you do for love -- you learn about love by being in love.
But who cares about the "book"? All I know is that when I'm in love, I love everything you do, even you read me a stupidly long and boring book about love! So read what you want to me, even charts and facts and figures, and I will love it. And the book has music in it. Again, some of it is fantastic and some not, but as long as you're singing it to me, I will love it. Love is irrational, as long as you're with me and no matter what we're doing together, I'll love it and I'll love you.
And the book has things in it that are nearly incomprehensible, that even the oldest and wisest of us, are "all too young to know." Love is too complicated for even the smartest of us, no matter how many years of learning about it and thinking about it that we do, we'll always be "too young." Love is unknowable, how can there be a damn book about it?!
And finally, since I love you as much as I do, hmmm. well, -- ahem. Just a thought here! I'm just too shy to say... Well here goes anyway: You should give me a wedding ring. Or better yet shower me with wedding rings! And you know I'll love it when you buy me a ring because "I love it when you give me things". Marry me. Even though I have a cynical edge and that I think that the book of love is long and boring, marry me anyway. It's a crazy thought that we are in love, because it is all irrational but marry me anyway.
As if I wasn't crying already this made me cry even more! It's the truth!
+more2me100 it's a beautiful song as long as you know how to interpret it...
Instructions for dancing makes me think of one of the most romantic songs of all by Steve Goodman... th-cam.com/video/vmyCvSj8DrM/w-d-xo.html

Yep
Tweek and Craig, still a more beautiful love story than Twilight.

Beautiful song, beautiful meaning. I wish we all experience true deep love.
Beautifully captures the nature of love itself. Love can’t be display or written, it can only be felt.
Perfectly said 👏
