I'm with you man. Somebody needs to put this guy and his pianist out of his misery. If it's the same person all the better.

Life is too short to complain that this song has way too much cheese. It is exquisitely and painfully beautiful. So sorry that your sensitivity is slipping. Your cheesy heart is in there somewhere I bet.{#Wink}

This is such a poignant song.  The music and lyrics work perfectly together to convey the bittersweet emotions.  Very good composition.

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where i feel at home
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree that's old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust


 
lovely, thanks

After reading the lyrics this has moved from an 8 to a rare but deserved 10 for me. 

What an epic song. Beautiful.

That's Patrick Watson on vocal. And it sounds like his writing. Cool! Patrick Watson is a new-found favorite.

Now I understand what this emoticon is for.... {#Puke} I am surprised that a piece of music could  engender such a response from me, but for some reason this one does.
