    Really, really beautiful song. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the soundtrack, especially set to film. I’ll probably cry. Also, the soundtrack drops a day before my birthday, so I totally know what I’m asking for :D Amazon actually has a pre-order going on right now, so maybe I’ll get on that…
