to all of the haters commenting..... Getting a life outside of the internet is quite easy, not too mention better for the human soul. Leon is from my hometown and he represents with true Texas class and style. how anyone can be hating on Leon, baffles the mind! I believe he has a wise soul. his taste in vintage clothing is better than sliced bread. his mama holds her head up high with a smile as big as this fine state we live in. she made no mistakes as a parent in my eyes. lol! He is everything that is good in a man, with a golden voice, and lyrically gifted. he has a great head on his shoulders. Since his, literally overnight, fame happened, he seems to remain humble. if we all tried to be even half the person he has grown to be, we'd be living in a kinder society than what the haters here promote. that would be a great thing!

I know right? For me too.. I remember discovering the song (and Leon) in Big Little Lies (which has an amazing soundtrack) and crying .. The song was also sung in an amazing play I saw two years ago.. I was sitting there in public singing along and crying again.. I remember that moment vividly..
