Our new provost--ABSOLUTELY!
I wrote
this instead of going to bed.
Thanks to him for never joined Hollywood. Bless to all of his songs. Mostly of his songs were simply beautiful, meaningful and education. I started to sing English song impressed by him. Mostly of his songs not so hard to singing. I hate all those songs nowadays are dirty and disgusting.
Every time I watch this video, David, I feel more connected to the story of how the song came to be and what you were going through at the time. Having been at live performances of the song and hearing you tell that story has always been a powerful experience. There are so many little things in this video that tell that story in a different way. The lighting, your hands, the images of you 'performing' in contrast with you just walking through nature, well it's like you are telling it all again in a little different way. Really lovely and moving. So happy you have this song and that you still want to share music with the world.
