I love the cyclic nature of this. Tori inspired Mr. B, Mr. B inspires his students, the students, in turn, inspired Tori and all of them inspire us. How cool is that? A person could do much worse with their life.

Oh, no. You've gone and made me weep like a child. How wonderful for all of you that this happened. You met your hero, Tori became one for the children, and Tori herself was able to experience the music she makes in a completely different way. This version is beautiful in an achingly poignant way.

I am moved in many ways, but mostly by Mr. B. He is going to affect the course of many, many kids' lives during his career. He is just such a natural.. unique.. totally himself. What a lucky guy to know what his calling is and to do the work to make it happen. Not many are so lucky to truly know what they are meant to do...
@JesseColton8 жыл бұрын
It means so much to see her face when they sing. Knowing the story of Choirgirl, her struggles losing her own children, and how hard she's worked to be a good mother to her daughter, you can see the loss, the pain, and also the hope and love in her eyes when they sing. Really a beautiful moment. I feel so happy for her

I hope somewhere along this plain we call life, that Tori Comes across this. She is the reason I took piano lessons. Her songs, gave me such a deep appreciation of the Piano, and really broadened my musical tastes. I hope she knows how much she has effected so many, in the same regard. Thank you for helping so many of us discover and explore music.

She must feel incomprehensible happiness. The whole concept and framework of American Doll Posse was to access a large demographic, not in a stereotypical commercial sense. The writing in this music enables access to a person on a human level "can you feel now what I'm talkin' about", and a component of that is she inspiring younger generations , Ruby. I would usually find it odd kids this young would like it. It affirms the healing qualities of Tori's work; I am inspired hearing them sing it.
