Is the soldier looking at pictures of his family? I WANT THAT!
Yes Celiene, he is
There is SO MUCH in that entire piece! I LOVE it! So touching. Reminds me of the song "Somewhere Out There" from An American Tail.
Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moon light
Someone's thinking of me, and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another, in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing, on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping, underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together, somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping, underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together, somewhere out there

Beautiful and moving, Celine. Thank you very much.
If you've never heard it, it's beautiful. Try not to cry.
