Deegerino Mar 16, 2012 - 14:36	We had this song sung at our wedding. A great memory. Thanks for this one! [ Reply ]
NeuroGeek Mar 13, 2012 - 07:12	It doesn't get any more beautiful than this. Turn it up all the way to 11. Yo-Yo's arrangement is spectacular. Several years ago, listening to this album, and this track in particular, inspired me to find a string quartet that could do a version of this at my wedding. It was wonderful. [ Reply ]
