Here; there must be something here

I've been looking at different versions of this song. This one has a very annoying introduction and please stop the video after she finishes singing; as there's a stinker of an advertisement.

But. The song.

I've been told by one who means everything to me, that I remind him of her sometimes.

I love this song. Loved it when I first heard it. Love it even more now; as life informs me and forces me to learn things about myself that are painful to acknowledge. This is that song for me.

Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.

William Cowper

King Rides By

I learnt all about Manny when I was in the Philippines. We were leaving the day of a fight, and the streets; which had previously been teeming with people, were empty.
This is beautiful.
Manny: Please serve your people well. They love you so.
