Indeed.
Speaking of which, perhaps doesn't make me well up, but the goosebumps from this "howl" is strong... From about 0:37 onwards

A bit of a plug, I guess.
My nephews being touring musicians, their world was turned upside down by covid, so they decided to get together (nephew 1 plus wife, nephew 2, plus friend) and use some time to record an album.
I sat down to listen, thought "hey, this is pretty good" and then welled up completely and lost it. I know someone who is the father of a famous musician and how he keeps himself together on tour, I have no idea.
Anyway, it's here:

Music, mainly three pieces. Nizlopi(I cant remember the title), The Last Post and Abide with me. 😕
Every single time!
Oh and the ending of Homeward bound is a tearjerker. Ms nearly had a complete breakdown, then a few days later she found out she was pregnant and refuses to watch the film to see if hormones or the story line was the culprit.

When the Celinettes were little I used to take them to playgroup where they had lots of fun producing 'artwork' etc.
Much of the artwork I pinned up on the garage walls, and most is still there, but one piece has to be kept hidden away as it makes me greet every time I read it.
It's a sheet of paper with a photocopied poem glued on and lots of their handprints on it.
The poem reads -
There's always so many of my fingerprints to see,
On furniture and walls and things from sticky, grubby me,
But if you stop and think a while,
You'll see I'm growing fast,
Those tiny handprints disappear,
You can't bring back what's past.
So here's a small reminder,
To keep not throw away,
Of tiny hands and how they looked,
To make you smile one day.
Except it doesn't make me smile. I couldn't even type that without

That's the one.....ps didn't play it. Knowing my thoughts on the song, my son who was about 3 at the time I noticed the song roughly '06 sent me a short vid(he's now 18) of him playing it on his guitar....😢
