I loved the calmness and the melancholy of this song. The solo piano in the background makes this song so touchy and emotional. The vocals are perfect and suits the mood of the song perfectly. The production could have used a cello or a solo violin, which might have improved the song a lot more. This version feels very close to the heart and I would recommend it to everyone.
