Title: To Live Forever appreciation thread
Post by: The Stray Seed on May 22, 2013, 10:48:36 AM: I didn't find any appreciation thread for what I consider one of the best songs by DT. The idea of starting this topic came into my mind after hearing a wonderful version of the song. James is sooo back in this last tour and I felt so happy listening to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXcb-WvK2wc

You also linked that version like 5 or 4 months ago, but I didn't care too much about that jam - sorry!
