Special thanks to Judy ♥ for sharing her song story.

“When I hear this song, I think of all the plants and animals especially birds. Also the green grass the rivers and oceans. Just about everything but humans. Humans hurt each other, pass judgement and make war after war. I guess I just want to see beauty in the world as I’m aging. ☮️❤️” -Judy

My mom chose this song because it describes how we all sometimes feel — the need to reach beyond our lives and be free. We both adored the movie Yentl and every single song in it. Thanks for sharing your music memories, Mom. ♥
