My wife and I tried having children for 10 years and when she finally got pregnant we were the happiest we had ever been. My baby boy was born too early and unfortunately didn't make it. I got to hold him while his heart beat got slower and slower until it stopped. This song reminds me of him and everytime I would hear it I would cry nonstop. This composition is so beautiful it makes me smile thinking about him. Amazingly incredible how this composition turns a song that makes me cry into a song that makes me smile. Thank you

[@cjb8010]

Oh my. Thank you for trusting the world with your pain. I was so sorrowful reading your tribute to your child, but I thought what a remarkable man to be able to turn such pain into a moment of beauty - the beating heart. Consider yourself an angel in disguise - a witness to fleeting but sublimely beauty and glory.

The goal in life is not to look for happiness, else you eill never be. You must enjoy this moment now else how do you know that when you are actually happy you won't be looking for a future happiness moment instead of enjoying the present. Hope that makes sense.

@@joanjett8814 Of course you should have a goal but many people live miserable lives because they are willing to suffer for their goal. At the end, when they reach their goal they do not know how to enjoy themselves and just pursue another goal. Just like businessmen who only know how to make more money and not how to use it.

[@patarmstrong4676]

Gosh, this brings tears to my eyes. For those who might be unaware, this particular song is as much a part of American culture and heritage as just about any other. Our sweet and beloved Dorothy--the fabulous Judy Garland--sang it to us all in the 1939 movie "Wizard of Oz," arguably one of the greatest and most revered movies in the history of American film making. The heartwarming story about a girl and her dog's return home, and love for home, is most beloved. Much of the movie being filmed at that time in color adds to its popularity. This score and the rest of the film's music is marvelous, much of which will be played for generations to come. Yo-Yo Ma and Ms Stott are right to include it in this repertoire--the collaboration here is truly a song of "comfort and hope." Many thanks to them for playing it and sharing with the world.

[@benjaminkhor1]

The lyrics describe a place "somewhere over the rainbow, way up high" where "troubles melt like lemon drops" and "dreams that you dare to dream really do come true." The rainbow in the song is often interpreted as a metaphor for a better place or a better life, where troubles and worries are left behind and dreams come true. The song is often played at funerals and memorials, as it can be a comforting reminder that there is a better place beyond this world. It can also be a source of inspiration for those who are struggling with difficult times, as it reminds us that there is always hope for a better future. Here are some of the key lines from the song and their meanings: "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby." This line suggests that the place the song is describing is a place of dreams and imagination, a place that we can only reach in our minds. "When all the world is a puddle deep, and the rainbow is over the rain." This line describes a world that is full of trouble and sadness, but the rainbow is a reminder that there is still hope for a better future. "Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true." This line is the most famous line from the song, and it expresses the belief that dreams can come true if we dare to believe in them. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a timeless song that has inspired and comforted people for generations. It is a reminder that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times.

They play this piece from the "great American songbook" and make it sound like classical chamber music. This is truly great playing that brings out the wistfulness in the tune and the lyric.

My friend was a cello teacher in his town in Austria, music was such a large part of his life. Songs like this make me think of him. I miss my friend, I miss our conversations
