      I mean, autotune is not really a bad thing, it's often not even noticeable unless the artist chooses to make it very apparent (or just messes up real bad). It's just a handy tool to speed up workflow.. saves having to retry a few more times to get the perfect take.

    And the beauty of it all
    Is when the sun comes shining through
    To make those rainbows in my mind
    When I think of you sometime
    And I want to spend some time with you
    Just the two of us
    We can make it if we try
    Just the two of us
    Just the two of us
    Building castles in the sky
    Just the two of us
    You and I
    We look for love no time for tears
    Wasted water's all that is
    And it don't make no flowers grow
    Good things might come to those who wait
    Not for those who wait too late
    We gotta go for all we know
    Just the two of us
    We can make it if we try
    Just the two of us
    Just the two of us
    Building castles in the sky
    Just the two of us
    You and I
    I hear the crystal raindrops fall
    On the window down the hall
    And it becomes the morning dew
    And darling when the morning comes
    And I see the morning sun
    I want to be the one with you.

    I'm 61 years old, and I will never get tired of listening to this beautiful song. What a great and melodious voice, and he had the mic far away. The lyrics, the tempo, the musical harmony. The variety of rythm and pitch; the breathing, vocalization and resonance! And the sax played by Grove Washington Jr. makes this song a musical gem. Sometimes you don't need to show your emotions when you sing with your heart and soul like Bill Withers does. And I say he does it because I am completely sure that he is singing with the ANGELS in HEAVEN! And how elegant these artists of the yesteryear dressed! They just had respect for their audience! THIS SONG WILL NEVER GET OLD...WE DO!!!
    RIP BROTHER BILL!.

      First of all, artists who make a show on stage do it to entertain you guys who watch it and critique it no matter what. It's either "oh too much effort" or "damn they could have put some effort into it". Step on stage. Do it once. See how difficult and nerve rattling it is to see 100s of people waiting to clap and critique your best ability behind your back. Then talk.

    First ever comment in UA-cam, I broke down and cried on my birthday when I knew he was gone. Here's a person who lived on his own terms and helped us focus on what really mattered in life. I will hold your creative work forever in my heart including this defining song of my youth that takes me back to a hopeful place every time. Rest well, Mr. Withers...there will still be sunshine for humanity even after you have gone, because you left a part of your soul behind. Thank you.

The final scene is the kid finally gaining the courage to sing in his school talent show trying to win the girl over who he's been crushing on quietly, and this song is the song he decides to sing.

    I got super lucky to grow up in the US with two parents who grew up in the 80s and listened to this song. When I was a little kid in the car listening to this, I could tell it was a representation of their love for each other. Now, older, I'm 31 and married, and this song resonates to me deeply. It now holds the meaning of my newer young love, but still holds the same meaning my parents once had.
