  • Ben from Ocean City, NjMy father is supposed to be sent to Iraq this year to fight for the war on terror. I'm strongly against the war, but I wished him the best of luck and he told me He'd be fine. His specific words were "I'll be coming home next year" This songs means a lot more to me now.
  • Simon from Perth, AustraliaIt's a pretty song but definitely derivative of the Beatles. And Diego, I reckon you're confused with Hello Goodbye.
  • Diego from Santiago, ChileThe ending is very much alike the ending of The Beatles "Across the universe". Is a really nice tribute in truly beautiful song.
