Imagine singing with a whole orchestra behind you. This is beautiful

If this does not touch your soul, there is something wrong.

[@john_in_denver_colorado_usa]

Amazing. I love how his piano interlude relaxes it, opens it up, and elevates it from a song to an experience.

[@skippruitt2391]

This arrangement, the singing and the orchestra ❤😭
