"Let Her Go" by Passenger
My Favorite Lyric
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
Album

All the Little Lights

Oh, hey! I didn't recognize the name of the song or the artist when I started it up, but the first few notes made me realize what this was. Love this song! So melancholy, so true. People rarely realize how good they have it til after they've lost it. Even health - I don't appreciate how awesome it is being able to breathe clearly til I come down with a cold and can't do so for a week! The tune is really awesome in general as well :D

Love this song. Have loved this song. Will continue to love this song.
And you've brought to mind a few songs I look forward to nominating :D

I completely agree with you. So many things we all take for granted, and never even realise it until it's too late.

Great choice Scott!!!

Such a good song. The tune is so catchy and the words have an inspiring quality

I didn't recognize the music, but the guy's voice sounds familiar and I sat here for ages (okay, like, 30 seconds) trying to figure out where I had heard this before. Then it hit me. They play it at TGI Friday's where I eat lunch every week! Hahaha!

I have listened to this music more than a hundred times. it's a wonderful song. it is educative too. it helps people to appreciate what they have at the moment and also helps people to take an opportunity when they have it because if it goes...it might never come back.

I love this song and I think it’s one of the most meaningful songs of all time. I love how it’s so beautifully mournful but inspiring at the same time. I would definitely recommend it!
