my #SongOfTheYear is Life Goes On by Agust D

something about the piano makes me shiver from the very first chords... the way it's composed as this easy song of comfort and floating along, but the lyrics are about how life goes on whether or not you are with the one you love, whether times are good or bad, and that doesn't have to be cruel but also a kind of comfort.

two out of three times i saw this live, i burst into tears and clutched the person next to me and sobbed
