This song will always be special to me... And make me bawl my eyes out... I was introduced to it by a friend before his passing and I played it at this friend's memorial service... I was asked to say a few words since I was a close friend (he had helped me decide to come out of the closet...), but I couldn't quite articulate anything in words.... Given that I'm currently in music school (as a flute music ed major) and music's ALWAYS been my best form of expression, I figured out how the chords and such are, created a piano part and played it on a piano while crying my way thru the melody. This friend was 19 years old when he committed suicide. He had just come out as a homosexual a year earlier, his junior year of high school and had just been accepted to the University I am currently at for music (as a composition/Theory major with a minor in education).... Today is the four year anniversary of my friend's death. And this song is just repeating thru my head like there's no tomorrow... Doris wrote such a beautiful song....
