Fix You

There is a group of "old folks" that gets together to sing. They call themselves Young@Heart and they have been all over the TV lately with coverage of the documentary that has been made about them. At first it made me laugh...something about seeing a 90 year old sing "I Wanna Be Sedated" just inspires giggles. Then there was this story about a man who was supposed to sing "Fix You" by Coldplay and he passed away before the performance. His friend stood in for him and you can see him below on the youtube video. If you can see the irony of a man unable to move around well and on oxygen who has lived his best years singing this song then it is very touching. In fact, if you have PMS like me, it can just downright bring you to tears.
