I have been watching all of the seasons for years, since the first season aired. I remember Michael's letter being read. And I cry every time. I think that it's the best moment of the entire series. But, I have never heard song before…..
…..til now. And, you guessed it. I'm crying…..
….. again!
Unbelievably beautiful.
Thank you, Armistead Maupin. May this song & your/Michael's letter be an anthem for those who are afraid of being rejected, to be used to ease the way to finally tell family and friends their truth.♥️💘💛💚💙💜❤️
LOVED THIS!!! ❤️
He has a beautiful voice and this is a wonderful piece.
Wish I could get subtitles. Thank you so much for the great quality of this performance! Just looked at the uploaded musical and other performances and they are DREADFUL!
