    “This song may be overused at this point but I still love it. It's got a sense of beauty and sadness. Poignant. Soothing. Haunting. Vast.”

    “I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard in a film, and it takes nothing to make me cry! This song is another that I have I have to quickly turn off so I don’t unravel. Everyone in the theater was audibly weeping and this song didn’t help matters.”
