This song is gorgeous and has grown to mean so much to me within the past year.. I'd love to sing it this year for a concert, but it'd be impossible for me to make up the proper piano bit for it and put it in a higher key, etc. It's too bad.. but alas, thank you for this fantastic piece.
This video makes me cry everytime. But it is because I feel so moved by the strength of everyone's emotions. Mike, you should know that we appreciate all that you do and that you take pride in making your music amazing.
You should know that after hearing this song and seeing all the awsome nerdfighters in the video, I jumped out of my chair and screamed, "This is awesome!" to no one in particular.
You should know that I love you, despite the fact that I know I'm not good enough for you, and all I want is your happiness, and without you, I wouldn't still be here today.
I really don't know what to say, this song left me speechless...but you should know that it made my cry, and that every time I hear one of your songs I'm always astounded at the creativity and the emotion, and they way they always affect me in a way that makes my days so much better. Thank you.
You should know...that I fell head over heels in love with this song the first time I heard it. And you should know that that doesn't happen very often. You should know that I'll keep this song close to my heart as I go through my Senior year of high school. I find it very appropriate. :) DFTBA, Mike. Thank you for the wonderful song.
you should know- this made me cry the first time i heard it- true i was hormonal and emotional (:P) but even now its still completely beautiful :') thank you
I was having a really tough morning last week. I was in a funk and trying to deal with the fact that it was the last day I would get to see my best friend for a while, and the only way I could pull myself out was by singing this song to myself. Mike, your music works wonders. Thank you.
I hadn't seen this before you tweeted it just now. This is beautiful in so many ways, from the music and lyrics to all of the secrets, this speaks to me in a very strong way. There might have been some tears. Thank you. =]
This is seriously the best Video/Song on YouTube. Nothing even comes close. Ohh and P.S thanks for staying at my house in Florida! Your gonna make it big some day, no doubt.
@caesar10022 aren't they just towards random people...? In the description it's written that he asked his twitter followers and 2nd channel viewers to send in 'secrets'... :)
This song still makes me smile every time I listen to it. I'm making a video for my friends because the show that we were in just ended. Can I use this in the video?
I can't decide if I want to learn to sing this in my upper octave (soprano), or lower octave (alto [bordering on tenor]). It's nerve-racking and I keep switching when I sing this song.
You should know that this video is inspiring me to finally speak my mind and tell the people in my life that I love them. Thank you for giving me some courage for once.
i'm playing at a coffee house soon with a few of my friends, i'm playing the violin part. is there any way you can email me or inbox me the music to this? i can learn it by ear if needed but its alot easier for me to use music. Thank you!!!
@339pogos if u want i could help u but the notes won`t be exact, i did a cover o f the song as u can see on my channel. tell me if u want any help, i just used the chords and figured the tune...
I want your electric violin, I'm entering my fourth year of taking classes and I'm begging my mom to get me one like that and she might get it for my birthday :D
@kansas1996 If you're an actual violinist, you won't like the tone. It's meant for live environments when you need the pickup. But the room sound is actually quite scratchy and thin. I had to doctor it a lot on my PC to get what you heard here.
@MikeLombardoMusic It's an ok song, and you're quite talented. I just didn't like it. The melody of the piano part was a little bit irritating. It seemed more like an "I'm going to make song" as opposed to an inspired work.
@andrewcp well he wrote it in about six hours notice for hank green's birthday. i mean, i love the song, but even putting that aside, it's some pretty awesome talent to produce in that short amount of time.
If you wanted to write music for people and really touch people...then this is definitely your best work.
I don't even know how I found you on Youtube, but I'm so glad I did because of jewels like this. Not that your other stuff isn't fantastic, this video just particularly touched me and it's my favorite out of all of them!
and to whomever wrote the secret at 1:28, you could not have expressed my own situation any better. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you also know you are not alone.
You should know that you've hurt me, though you'd never guess it. You should know that I'm a stronger person for it, and a more grateful person because of it.
Great song and great video concept. I love your work. And I love whoever thought I should know, "I'd rather go to art school. I'm doing this for you."
You should know that we(your fans) will always be here to listen and comment and just love you and your music!!! this was an amazing video I LOVED IT AND THIS SONG!!!
This made me go "mwaaai" at the end. That is the only way I can describe the weird noise that came out of me. I think it may have been a sentimentality overload that short-circuited my brain and caused me to emit an unonomatopoeiafiable sound.

So I first heard this at ConTour and I thought it was really pretty.
Then I heard it at Vidcon when you did that small show thing in the open-mic room and thought it was really beautiful.
And then I saw the video and saw you play it for Buck and almost cried in my hotel room with my mom and best friend who were sleeping.
It's pretty much my favorite song, it's so beautiful and there wasn't enough space to tell you on twitter.
