in the end, I always go back (1 Viewer)

[kodoku]

.. to these thoughts and feelings, to this song that captures the sorrow of living, the pain of simply being human so beautifully.. it's heartbreaking and I think you need to have a soul that's a hundred years old to truly understand this song.. the heavy regrets that come along with the passage of time, the grief and mourning of our faded youth, and the bitterness of not being able to ever go back.... to everything you were and could have been, every person you've loved but lost, and ultimately, the realization that nothing in this life will last, and no one will stay by your side...... it's painful and beautiful.... I always end up going back to this song somehow.. and it's good you know? reminds you of what truly matters and helps you rid yourself of the shallow and trivial things we waste our lives away chasing..... I wish for a purpose, for meaning, and love...... for you and myself as well....... truly one of the greatest songs of all time, I'm sure......

i can't even describe how surprised i was two years ago when i found out that this version is actually a cover. of course doesn't change the fact that it's still a great song.
