    I had never heard this song until today (09/22/24) and I instantly fell in love with it. What a beautiful song. I am just shocked I have never heard it before.

    Some sad news to pass along. Susan passed away yesterday due to complications of a kidney transplant in a hospital in Vancouver. What a great singer. I'm sure she will be missed by all. RIP Susan.

      You have to admit
      Most singers today can Sing…
      It’s just that what they’re singing… isn’t that good… at all…
      And 50% of them use Autotune
      This feels Natural, and has actual Soul put into the lyrics

    I love the clean electric guitar notes that slide up on this part:
    You are my whole, babe
    My heart and my soul, babe
    I'd have nothing to show, babe
    If you should go away
    Just discovered this song on a flashdrive of mp3's that my dad gave me. Pretty song that flows smooth. Why can't we make music like this any more?
