what a tear jerker, connie talbot. a 6 year old girl with the immense power to move millions of listeners with her voice. while i was trying to clear myself of my emotional mess, i was suddenly struck with the answer to why she touched my heart.

Her innocence.

RAW, innocent and the purest of all emotions were just easily poured into the song. where grown-up singers in majority will have to dig deep into the emotional baggages we've carried to emote a song; connie did it, easily, no false fronts. she gave the song a piece of herself. In most performances, i would feel that the song carries OUR emotions when we sing it. I think connie did it the other way round without knowing it, and she did it fantastically. Her pureness of heart, that exists in a the heart of a child, carried the song all across the world, until now, the youtube hits have been growing! its crazy, how so many of us are seeking for what this child has, that we've lost over time as we grew up.

For sure, connie's rendition didn't have the embellishments that kathering mcphee or whoever had. But her voice just finds a deeper place in your heart don't you think? No pretenses, just straight from her heart, and right into ours (:

If there's something we all should be looking for, i think it would be to always carry within everyone of us, the purity of a child's heart.

May connie talbot always keep this special quality in her through the years. And even if she should outgrow this innocence, may she always remember the innocence she had when she sang this song.

:D

Its easier to breathe when things are kept simple, crystal clear.

Its easier to see when doubts and questions are at best, not even borne.

Its easier to get by when any relationship is kept on a clean slate.

Sometimes not diving too deep into anything keeps everything pretty. On one hand, there is a certain depth of silent understanding between two friends, and on the other, there is a respectable distance between them to not breathe the same air all the time.

So there's still love, but not too much to suffocate all of us.

Too much of anything is not good ehs?

We're all too complicated to obtain accurate explanations of our actions, speech and thoughts.

We might attempt to read someone as clearly as possible, but alas, it will never be possible. Understanding a soul is almost the same as reading a book ain't it? Everytime the same book is read, the pages feel different, the lines look different and our insights are always different. Yes, the title still reads the same title, the book still holds the same stipulated content, but our perceptions will always differ each time it is read. We might even forget what the book used to hold until we flip the earlier pages to relive the contents once again.

There might be times when the part of the book we're reading bores us or irritates us, but that's where the intelligent reader would flip back to the better pages to remind himself of what the book holds. One might even be quick to flip past these pages and just carry on with the story, leaving no memory or regret that these 'bad' pages should even be read or given attention on.

We're humans, we all forget, as much as we might remember the past, the perception/memory of it changes over time.

So if it changes or gets forgotton, less time should be spent on remembering.

Just let go, yes (:
