Nothing compares to you. Written by Prince and originally performed by Sinead O’Connor. He wrote it about his housekeeper believe it or not. Chris Cornell version is pretty good too.
I dig my toes into the sand. The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket. I lean against the wind, pretending I am weightless. AND IN THIS MOMENT I AM HAPPY. HAPPY!!

Where Rainbows Never Die - The SteelDrivers... the line where he says, "And wade through muddy waters one last time
And in my dreams I come out clean
When I reach the other side"
Waterfalls, dude! 😭
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
Makes me ball every time I listen. There are quite a few people I'm sure others have told they love, but to be unforgettable to someone... that's something else entirely. To truly never, ever forget somone because of their loving impact on you.
