A couple of years ago, I played this song for my late son. I told him that I remember it being on the radio in the 1980s. He LOVED this song, and it instantly became a favorite of his. He put it on his play list. I think of him whenever they play it at work.
My grandpa absolutely loved this song and would play it a lot. He sadly passed away 4 years ago. I really miss him. This song reminds me of him. R.I.P. Grandpa.

This song is like amazing bro i have had this on repeat like 50 times now it calms me down no matter if im angry, sad, annoyed and happy thank you so much for making this song.❤
My dad has Been to Africa! We played this same song during this scavenger hunt and we surprised him that he was going to Africa and clime Kilimanjaro!! It was awesome and I heard it on the way to school today and I had to play it again! ❤❤❤❤❤
This song was played on radio yesterday while I was driving my son to school. He said " Mom please play this song tomorrow too. It is so calming to my ears". He is in grade 1 😊

There was an actual study of harmonic theory that concluded that this was, mathematically, the best song ever made.
