Okay so the link above is the culmination of what's officially known as this song, but as far as the criteria for the song I need goes and for what impacted me in the film adaption, it's the pieces of this song that are featured in a scene with an AIDS support group. Those clips are here and here. Anyone who hasn't seen this or didn't hear me talk about it before, it's a movie adaption of a play written about people living with AIDS and it was very controversial for its time (probably still is) but it has had such a huge impact since being created. It's still horrible to me that Jonathon Larson died before seeing it brought to life which is why I will continue to recommend it. The issues it covers is something I'll probably never have to deal with in my life, but watching this got rid of a stigma for me before it even began, and I will always be grateful to musicals for helping me to realize things about other walks of life and making me not be such a shit person.
This one is a song that makes us sad. My mom chose In Case You Didn’t Know by Brett Young, and my grandma picked Leader Of The Pack by The Shangri-Las. Will decided on Please Remember Me by Tim McGraw, and Sammy went with a tear jerker in What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.
Peace.
