this video captures the way in which we as humans get wrapped up in the oddities of our lives that feel incomparably important and defining in the moment, things that become nothing more than puzzling ephemera in the future. i’d like to think that someday someone will stumble across some pictures or videos of me or my loved ones and marvel at our rich but entirely momentary inner worlds. your work is beyond compare natalie
this music video has caused me to reflect on the meaning of life. As time passes on, the good time and bad times become memories until one day our life is finished and our memories are no more. Life is beautiful even when it's hard to see it, and what thing is the definition of beautiful? a flower. The idea of life becoming a flowers is the personification of the beauty. despite all the hardship in life; humans are beautiful beings, and that can never be taken from us.
I missed the concert at the Greek because my friend died that morning. I thought her music would be a reminder but it's more comforting...this beautiful yet haunting song. Perfect. Goodbye Richard.
It's like she's showing us how she feels as an outsider in this world and how much pain we carry while we try to understand the "whys" of every suffering in this world and how we must be watchers of all of this while we're victims too. It's painful to feel that you don't belong anywhere when all you see and feel is pain among so much beauty.
I left the religión I was raised in a year ago. All I wanted was truth and in the end I found it. My whole world was broken when I left it. And I asked myself what was the meaning of all this. I feel this song echoes my sentiments, Thank you Natalie
Its so hard to start from scratch and I can relate to this, but there is beauty in letting go of an old cosmology, and there are things to be salvaged into a new one that is more all encompassing of the mysteries in life.
i haven’t cried this hard in a while, this is one of my favorite songs ever and has been since it’s came out. what an amazing video to accompany it i love you so much natalie thank you for creating such meaningful and breathtaking art💘🌸🌺
For the record, I still cry sometimes when I watch this video too. Adam Curtis has such a special talent for weaving together cognitive dissonances into a beautiful tapestry.
@@weyesblood you both did such an amazing job💘 thank you so much for replying😭😭 i’ve listened to your albums thousands of times you mean so much to me💘
@@weyesblood How did you discover Curtis? He's as deep as Cohen and Campbell for me (Leonard and Joseph) and I didn't think anybody even knew who he was here. Who reached out to whom?
And directed by Adam Curtis - wonderful, beautiful, poetic. What a treasure it is that humans make art to share with others. How they can express what we all feel deep inside. Thank you 💖
this is how i imagine your life flashing before your eyes right before you die. watching this video almost a year after this song came out, a song that has defined my year, was so cathartic.
this was so much more visceral than i was expecting. it feels like despite how much i love this song, this video just presented an entire new layer to it that i never even thought of before. genuinely my favorite song ever for a reason. what a video. shoutout adam and shoutout natalie
the first time i heard this song i stopped what i was doing and just stared into the abyss contemplating the meaning of life. thank you natalie for sharing your art and giving me hope in humanity for 6 minutes
i don’t really remember things well but i do remember the incredible amount of emotion that i felt watching this performed live- absolutely amazing. i used to not understand how songs could be so beautiful that they make people cry, but now i do.
It's been a tough year. I found this song randomly and sobbed uncontrollably by the time outro came in at 3:00. Like I've everything I've been feeling just released. Beautiful and powerful song.
I've had a difficult 2 years of being ill and Weyes Blood's music has been a source of comfort and hope for me. This song makes me feel like my soul is at peace even when my body is suffering - like i can leave all my troubles behind for a while. It's truly transcendent.
Ever since I watched this video Monday, it's been in the back of my mind, when it comes to the forefront, tears well up immediately. This song was powerful to begin with but I wasn't ready for what the video turned out to be. It's beautiful. It's harrowing. As others have noted the vulnerability, horror and beauty of life are comingled in this breathtaking lyric and video. While its a glorious offering of Americana, the flashes of historical, social and pop culture imagery do not read as sentimental, nostalgic or preachy. For me, it's a stream of consciousness-style portrait of our--meaning late 20th and 21st century Americans--specific and personal grief. It's our story; our pain. The images of class warfare and oppression from the State put the vulnerability of the song in a chilling new light. I am currently reading a book discussing the horrors of MK Ultra experiments that were conducted by the CIA on unknowing patients. Images from this video fused with what I've been reading and I wept, I just couldn't stop crying. I've rambled enough. I'm just trying to say that this song and this video blew me away.
I absolutely agree with what you said. This video had an emotional range that I did not expect. Do you mind sharing the name of the book you are reading?
Sometimes i wish god turn me into a flower, life isn't easy, we have to deal with so hard times... But sometimes life is a flower, sometimes you will wake up and be glad to be alive, to experience what be alive is... Sometimes we are a flower in someone's life, making everything more beautiful, making everything better. That's how I see this MV, life can be bad, good, and both at the same time, we never can control everything around us and this is scary but also cozy. And at the end, this song is a flower in my life, Weyes Blood makes my days better, makes my life prettier, i think one day i can be a happy person, but until there, her music make my way much easier. Love, Kaio ❤
I listened to this song before my mother passed away, she had cancer and when I knew it my world fell down in so many ways, this song made me feel better, so strong to overcome everything! When I listen to the outro I always feel her embrace. Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT song. 🥹
When I listen to this song, I'm always reminded of this passage of dialogue from the Andrei Tarkovsky film Stalker: "Softness is great and strength is worthless. When a man is born, he is soft and pliable. When he dies, he is strong and hard. When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life. That which has become hard shall not triumph."
Oh wow! Weyes Blood had this as a background visual while performing this song at her Pittsburgh concert. I didn’t realize it was also the music video but it’s so lovely. Seeing it made me remember hearing it live again and that’s such a special thing
Full body tingles, Adam Curtis' "Century of the Self" was deeply formative for me, and recently discovered Weyes Blood almost equally so, and to find them paired?!? Harmonic universal resonance has just blinded, stunned, and deafened me to anything else. Wow. I'm here for eternity.
A month ago I saw Natalie singing this song in front of me in Buenos Aires, I still couldn't stop thinking about it, we were all so captivated, many like me couldn't hold back the tears. It was a unique spiritual moment.
ay, Natalia. ¿sabías que este tema marcó mi vida? hay un antes y un después en mí con God turn me into a flower. y este video me llega a lo más profundo; me hizo llorar y agradecer que creaste esta obra de arte junto a OPN. te amo, morra.
For me this is such a sad song, and yet also extremely peacfull and relaxing. Takes a lot of talent and and a very sensitive soul to create such a song. Thank you.❤
Eu fico encantada com cada detalhe de TODOS os álbuns dela, tudo tem um conceito, muita criatividade e o que falar da estética visual dos cenários, roupas....?! ✨ Você brilha muito Natalie, tudo que toca vira mágica, a própria Disneyland 💜 love u so so much
A friend of mine that past away told me about this artist and how her music impacted their life. Normally i listen to metal or other genres that are more aggressive... But this woman has moved me. Thank you so much my friend and rest in peace. I know you're in a better place now.
This brought me to tears. So beautiful. Life has always been filled with pain and beauty. Pressure to conform or be ostracized. It feels so escalated now. With the world online and every bad thing being shared at all hours of the day.. Everything is flying by and so much is happening, its overwhelming. The lyrics & composition of the song fit the end of this video so well. We want to be beautiful, we want to be enough, we want to be happy. But also the notion of being something simple like a flower instead of a human in this chaotic life... just has me tears. I'm terrible with words but thank you for this ❤
One of the most affecting pieces of art I've seen in a while. A lot is familiar here to Adam Curtis fans... the workout video clips, poverty juxtaposed with excess, etc... and scoring it is probably the most gorgeous song I've heard this year. Beautiful stuff
Thank you for this song! It's truly an ethereal experience every listen; I feel warmth, pain, hope, despair. It's poetic, and at its most raw, cathartic. Thank you Natalie for your beautiful music!! ❤
Just watched her in Paris a few days ago. When she asked if anyone knows who Adam Curtis is and only a few people cheered (including me of course), I was a bit disappointed. He is one of the greats when it comes to documentaries and the music in his films and the footage he uses is gorgeous. P. S. Btw I cried after they played the song too :') One of the best songs I have ever heard. Thank you Natalie!
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Started watching this and didn't know what I was getting into while me and my girlfriend were getting ready to leave. Now we're sitting here, stunned and crying. What a gorgeous song, and really, this is one of the most beautiful, meaningful, stunning music videos ever made. Much of your music makes my girlfriend and I think about the pain and beauty and strangeness of being human, this strange animal, but this is just next level. I am a sucker for archival footage music videos (another good one is the unofficial music video for Alex G's Sarah by David Dean Burkhart), and the way this is put together without any words is just an undescribable piece of art. I was at a loss for words for a while after watching this, but now I feel like I have to type this out. Amazing work, Natalie and Adam Curtis
When I listen to the end of the song I picture walking into the most beautiful garden with the natural light hitting in all the right places with someone special dressed in all white sitting in a chair covered in flowers and greenery, I get chills all over and my eyes start to water I wish I could direct a scene how it plays out in my head with this song playing over it one day
I saw this in concert twice during her tour. Both times extremely powerful. There's a certain energy that comes with being surrounded by people in awe, and it feels extremely commandeering and.. how do I put this... fertile? Like theres a seed growing within each of us. I guess that's fitting with the song. However, there is something different about watching this video again, alone in my room. I guess I had forgotten about the mass of emotion I had felt at the shows. My first emotions watching it this time were very singular. I was drawn to tears thinking about all my mistakes, the way I view myself, and my terrible coping mechanisms. It was sad and lonely. But something changed towards the end of the video. I distinctly remember the first time I saw this video, in the very back of a concert venue in Boston, and getting that overwhelming sense of power and intimacy, and that was tied to the footage of rioting, looting, and the joint pain that we all share. I remembered that my problems, as real as they are, are sort of inconsequential when you take a step back, and it sort of feels better to feel joint pain rather than alone pain. At the end of the day, I can probably trace all my problems back to the same things as everybody else, so why not console each other by showing our true emotions. There is beauty in our pain, and when we all show that beauty we create a garden of hope. And I was again drawn to tears. Thank you, Natalie. Can't wait to see you again
I'm going back to this video because it's definitely one of my favorite visual pieces in existence, this is art in every definition. Truly love you Natalie
i saw this girl working at a bar, a radiant soul humbled by gentle eyes. took me a few visits to pluck up the courage to ask for her number. first and only time ive done so. we'd meet and could seemingly talk forever, id be lost in her presence everytime she spoke, passion and curiosity woven into each of her words. she recommended this song to me, got around to listening some days later, within the first few seconds something told me i needed to listen with headphones and take in the video with no distraction. And it was for good reason. Ive sat here debating an impressive word to pull out of my vocabulary, but none seem to do enough justice to describe how good this song is, i have never cried so profusely.. each and every time i listen, to such extent i only listen on one occasion each month despite it being my favourite song of all time. i create music myself and had always been on the hunt for that one song that conveys an excruciating amount of emotion. i live solely for the feeling this gives, this will surely be my favourite song for the rest of my time in this life and although i no longer see the girl, i thank her endlessly for sharing this with me. it makes me think of her when i listen and admittedly i get sad, not due to her absence, but for the beauty of what we had. the universe led me to her for a reason, and im sure i have my place in her story too.
I freaked when I saw this was a premier!! Just saw her in Austin, and it was amazing. Her VIDEOS are extremely, extremely cool to boot ! ( as a photographer, I love that the music is incredible, AND the visuals / videos make it a cool ass package!! ) Can. Not. Wait!!
Been listening to this for 10 months. It helps me sleep, calms me down and is such a beautfil piece of art. I'll never hearing this live. The last two minutes were people putting their phones down and just enjoying the moment thar Weyes. Magical song.
This is medicine. I am heart sick yet full of love, my soul is in poverty until it is not, my mind is clear beneath being lost and in agony and fog, life is beautiful and it's also not. This felt like healing, acceptance and feeling the depths of all it is to be human, and lifting it up; all with safety and inner peace. Thank you.
this song, and this video, togheter feel like a message sent by humanity to god, to simply express this deep feeling, that cant be expressed in words, but that i think we all understand by watching this
I started listening to weyes blood in dec of 2022, went to her show at the greek in oct 2023 w/ my best friend. needless to say that this was one of the highlights of our night. the video perfectly encapsulated everything I felt when I first listened to this song & it continues to stir something deep in my soul whenever I listen to it. 'it is a serious thing, just to be alive, on this fresh morning, in the broken world' - Mary Oliver thank u, natalie
These last few years due to the pandemic and personal reasons I have not feeling like myself sometimes I feel like a ghost and that the world left be behind and moved on but songs and your art makes me feel understood and somehow free from this feeling like I could fly and above all hope for better days Thank you Natalie ♥️
I have been thinking of this song since the first time I heard it, everything always seemed so delicate and fragile, but now, I feel more in peace with the idea that it can be no other way.
I saw you in Carrboro, NC and got to take a picture with you after the show. You are saving modern music - god bless you and your band. You have got IT (and you know it, too!) Thank you for creating such a beautiful meaningful song which will resonate with me for the rest of my life. I will never forget it. Stoked for part 3 of the trilogy. Thank you, Natalie!
this video captures the way in which we as humans get wrapped up in the oddities of our lives that feel incomparably important and defining in the moment, things that become nothing more than puzzling ephemera in the future. i’d like to think that someday someone will stumble across some pictures or videos of me or my loved ones and marvel at our rich but entirely momentary inner worlds. your work is beyond compare natalie
beautifully said
Could you please explain this to me like I'm a child?
I didn't think there could be a more beautiful and stunning song than 'Movies', but Natalie has proved me wrong. Her talent is immense.
They're my thoughts exactly too x
Stole the words from my mouth
that's one of my favorites from her too. such a great one.
Honestly I can name like 5 songs of hers better than movies🔥movies is SO good but she has such a loaded discography
I just saw here at the Greek Theater 2 weeks ago.when she sang this song and played this video everyone in the audience was crying.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry to this song, truly one the most beautiful performances by a singer-songwriter ever
thank you
@@weyesbloodI LOVE YOU NATALIE
@@weyesbloodDO MORE SONGS WITH LANA

life is pain and hope and horror and beauty and this song makes me feel peace with being human.
thank you Natalie, always 💜
thank you for understanding how its absolutely all those things

beautiful sentiments
Beautiful album
this song is probably the closest we’ll get to what it feels like to ascend to heaven… incredible
And So It Goes by Mac 🔝
I missed the concert at the Greek because my friend died that morning. I thought her music would be a reminder but it's more comforting...this beautiful yet haunting song. Perfect. Goodbye Richard.
I'm so sorry to hear that.. sending you some support right now. I'm so glad its comforting.
I was front row centre for her first live performance of this song. So incredible.
same here. it was unreal. definitely something a person should experience in this lifetime
I'm going to see her for first time in november. Can't wait to experience this :)
So was I!!! It was my first concert ever and I cried nearly every song haha. She’s amazing
It's like she's showing us how she feels as an outsider in this world and how much pain we carry while we try to understand the "whys" of every suffering in this world and how we must be watchers of all of this while we're victims too. It's painful to feel that you don't belong anywhere when all you see and feel is pain among so much beauty.
Wow you phrased that amazingly... Any advice on how to deal with it? It can be overwhelming sometimes :(
I left the religión I was raised in a year ago. All I wanted was truth and in the end I found it. My whole world was broken when I left it. And I asked myself what was the meaning of all this. I feel this song echoes my sentiments, Thank you Natalie
What was your religion and what do you believe in now?
@@TheAmanor123 Jehovahs witnesses. And I believe in loving others and myself
Its so hard to start from scratch and I can relate to this, but there is beauty in letting go of an old cosmology, and there are things to be salvaged into a new one that is more all encompassing of the mysteries in life.
@@weyesbloodyou’re truly a visionary wow
@@weyesbloodyou are so grand. i appreciate you so much. beautiful thought & vision.
the pain and beauty of the spectrum of human emotion. thank you weyes, your art is excepcional.
Thank you for existing Natalie & Weyes Bl00d. You make this life worth living, despite all going on. God bless.
i've never felt more grief and peace at the same time than i do right now
i haven’t cried this hard in a while, this is one of my favorite songs ever and has been since it’s came out. what an amazing video to accompany it i love you so much natalie thank you for creating such meaningful and breathtaking art💘🌸🌺

oh she just created world peace with this
And directed by Adam Curtis - wonderful, beautiful, poetic. What a treasure it is that humans make art to share with others. How they can express what we all feel deep inside. Thank you 💖
I should have known, he used that gym workout clip at the start in Hypernormalisation I believe. Two legends in their respective field coming together
the urgency for human element in everything here...
this is how i imagine your life flashing before your eyes right before you die. watching this video almost a year after this song came out, a song that has defined my year, was so cathartic.
the beauty of this song never fails to overwhelm me i love it so so much
this was so much more visceral than i was expecting. it feels like despite how much i love this song, this video just presented an entire new layer to it that i never even thought of before. genuinely my favorite song ever for a reason. what a video. shoutout adam and shoutout natalie

I'm speechless... (Already crying btw)
most transcendental, expansive and ascending song ever. this song is my oyster
It's been a tough year. I found this song randomly and sobbed uncontrollably by the time outro came in at 3:00. Like I've everything I've been feeling just released. Beautiful and powerful song.

I wish every human could really HEAR this song - I believe it has the power to heal souls.

But sometimes life is a flower, sometimes you will wake up and be glad to be alive, to experience what be alive is...

I want this song to play at my funeral.
I listened to this song before my mother passed away, she had cancer and when I knew it my world fell down in so many ways, this song made me feel better, so strong to overcome everything!
When I listen to the outro I always feel her embrace.
Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT song. 🥹
OH I'M ABOUT TO GO TO ANOTHER DIMENSION
I lose my ability to cry after suffering great loss as a child, your music helps me feel out these emotions in other ways
May we all become flowers, and see that truth now.
When I listen to this song, I'm always reminded of this passage of dialogue from the Andrei Tarkovsky film Stalker:
"Softness is great and strength is worthless. When a man is born, he is soft and pliable. When he dies, he is strong and hard. When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life. That which has become hard shall not triumph."
Well tied in with the video considering the director Adam Curtis directly references Stalker/Roadside Picnic within one of his recent documentaries
Oh wow! Weyes Blood had this as a background visual while performing this song at her Pittsburgh concert. I didn’t realize it was also the music video but it’s so lovely. Seeing it made me remember hearing it live again and that’s such a special thing

Ojos llorosos
All that footage evoke the powerful sense of nostalgia and hope in the mist of despair the song is about. Amazing work of art.
Words can't describe the power in this song. It sings for itself ❤
For me this is such a sad song, and yet also extremely peacfull and relaxing.
Takes a lot of talent and and a very sensitive soul to create such a song.
Thank you.❤
One of the highlights of the concert for me!
This gives me hope on a dark day. Thanks for your magic Weyes Blood and Adam Curtis
The perfect bedtime song.
Goddamn this means a lot. Thank you for this.
Eu fico encantada com cada detalhe de TODOS os álbuns dela, tudo tem um conceito, muita criatividade e o que falar da estética visual dos cenários, roupas....?! ✨ Você brilha muito Natalie, tudo que toca vira mágica, a própria Disneyland 💜 love u so so much

If there’s ever a song I’d love to hear as I pass away, THIS IS THE ONE❤
Favourite artist in the world right now. I cannot begin to describe how her music has saved me through some tough times. It's life changing.
: best track on the record, not even close to debatable - anyone else who's played Hyper Light Drifter, you know what's up
Thank you for this song! It's truly an ethereal experience every listen; I feel warmth, pain, hope, despair. It's poetic, and at its most raw, cathartic. Thank you Natalie for your beautiful music!! ❤
I saw her perform this live and I started crying. It's just so beautiful.
This song came into my life in Divine Time and I feel as if it is the Theme of my life. Thank you, Weyes!
This is the closest i've come to a religious experience (and i went to church my whole childhood)
Just watched her in Paris a few days ago. When she asked if anyone knows who Adam Curtis is and only a few people cheered (including me of course), I was a bit disappointed. He is one of the greats when it comes to documentaries and the music in his films and the footage he uses is gorgeous.

What a gorgeous song, and really, this is one of the most beautiful, meaningful, stunning music videos ever made. Much of your music makes my girlfriend and I think about the pain and beauty and strangeness of being human, this strange animal, but this is just next level.

As the kids used to say Weyes Blood gives me the feels. This song & video in particular
One of my favourite songs of hers ❤
I cried watching this live in concert, and now I cry every time I hear this song! So beautiful!
I have just come back from the Apollo and crying. I also bumped by Richard Curtis Love actually Director. Appeals to do many on so many levels
this song has to be the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
Can not wait !!! Snippets look amazing !! Most impactful record on this album! My sister walked down to this song in her wedding ❤❤❤
I'm going back to this video because it's definitely one of my favorite visual pieces in existence, this is art in every definition. Truly love you Natalie
i saw this girl working at a bar, a radiant soul humbled by gentle eyes. took me a few visits to pluck up the courage to ask for her number. first and only time ive done so. we'd meet and could seemingly talk forever, id be lost in her presence everytime she spoke, passion and curiosity woven into each of her words. she recommended this song to me, got around to listening some days later, within the first few seconds something told me i needed to listen with headphones and take in the video with no distraction. And it was for good reason. Ive sat here debating an impressive word to pull out of my vocabulary, but none seem to do enough justice to describe how good this song is, i have never cried so profusely.. each and every time i listen, to such extent i only listen on one occasion each month despite it being my favourite song of all time. i create music myself and had always been on the hunt for that one song that conveys an excruciating amount of emotion. i live solely for the feeling this gives, this will surely be my favourite song for the rest of my time in this life and although i no longer see the girl, i thank her endlessly for sharing this with me. it makes me think of her when i listen and admittedly i get sad, not due to her absence, but for the beauty of what we had. the universe led me to her for a reason, and im sure i have my place in her story too.
This might be the most beautiful song and video my god.
I freaked when I saw this was a premier!! Just saw her in Austin, and it was amazing. Her VIDEOS are extremely, extremely cool to boot ! ( as a photographer, I love that the music is incredible, AND the visuals / videos make it a cool ass package!! ) Can. Not. Wait!!
You were born with such a beautiful gift. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Esto no es solo una cancion, es una experiencia...
This is the most beautiful track on earth
I flipped out when I saw you play this video live, because I had only been exposed to Adam Curtis's work about a year prior. What an incredible collab
This music video just amplifies the song by a million, Its incredible
Been listening to this for 10 months.
It helps me sleep, calms me down and is such a beautfil piece of art. I'll never hearing this live. The last two minutes were people putting their phones down and just enjoying the moment thar Weyes.
Magical song.
Meu Deus, que obra de arte
This is medicine. I am heart sick yet full of love, my soul is in poverty until it is not, my mind is clear beneath being lost and in agony and fog, life is beautiful and it's also not. This felt like healing, acceptance and feeling the depths of all it is to be human, and lifting it up; all with safety and inner peace. Thank you.
I don’t think I can listen without crying.
Best song ever written. I will die on this hill.
this song, and this video, togheter feel like a message sent by humanity to god, to simply express this deep feeling, that cant be expressed in words, but that i think we all understand by watching this
I started listening to weyes blood in dec of 2022, went to her show at the greek in oct 2023 w/ my best friend. needless to say that this was one of the highlights of our night. the video perfectly encapsulated everything I felt when I first listened to this song & it continues to stir something deep in my soul whenever I listen to it.

thank u, natalie
She’s a literal Disney princess! Her singing is so beautiful 🥹🥺💖
These last few years due to the pandemic and personal reasons I have not feeling like myself sometimes I feel like a ghost and that the world left be behind and moved on but songs and your art makes me feel understood and somehow free from this feeling like I could fly and above all hope for better days
Thank you Natalie ♥️
There are no words that can describe how im feeling now, thanks for this masterpiece
Fantastic song if any from the album deserve a video it is this
Your comments are as beautiful as this song so glad i found this song and its fans i live you ALL
ADAM CURTIS X WEYES BLOOD IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Inspirational song and video, the birdsong towards the end might be one of my favourite auditory experiences of all time. Stunning.
I'm not one to usually get emotional to a song, but this one really got under my skin. Exceptional.
I have been thinking of this song since the first time I heard it, everything always seemed so delicate and fragile, but now, I feel more in peace with the idea that it can be no other way.
I saw you in Carrboro, NC and got to take a picture with you after the show. You are saving modern music - god bless you and your band. You have got IT (and you know it, too!) Thank you for creating such a beautiful meaningful song which will resonate with me for the rest of my life. I will never forget it. Stoked for part 3 of the trilogy. Thank you, Natalie!
