Amazing! Amazing! I got two students performing this beautiful song and I can't wait to work with them on it, Thank you for making my job so easy with such inspiring words and music!
wow. so beautiful. i cried. it really made me cried when u told the story of Andrew. im also a gay teenager. i lost friends from me coming out. but i was always told they are not true friends if they dont accept u for who u are. im sorry Andrew that ur family does not accept u.
WOW wow wow. I've never seen this version of it. I had no idea you started doing this song again because of an email. I am sure that this video helped Andrew so much.
I have never had to deal with something like this. I can't imagine how hard it is to come out to parents and loved ones who may not be so accepting. Everyone who is struggling is in my thoughts and prayers. <3 Don't be ashamed of you are and who you love.
Simply beautiful, you are such a talented and caring individual, if only there were more people like you in this world, it would be a much happier place, keep up the great work! Oh and your song "Home" is mine and my partners song now! It's one of if not the most enchanting love songs of all time! xxx
Scott I hope you consider releasing this song as a single (at least). Because of exactly what you said at the beginning of your video. Its not only a very beautiful song...but also has such a great message for those coming out of the closet, and those loved ones that are still having a hard time coming to terms with it. Love the song.
Wow. I just happened to come across this video today. Hands down, the best song (and voice) I have heard in the longest time. What amazing talent you have!
its funny how he is SO amazing at what he does but yet he still likes to see his work portrayed through other performers instead of others who like to do everything themselves but he likes others to make his stuff what it is. i respect that
Thank you for posting that. I am in the process of coming out and it is so difficult. My family is religious, and when they find out they are forbidden from speaking to me ever again, for anything. Sometimes the pain is unbearable. Thank you so much for putting up something so positive.
Truly amazing. I love the version that Tituss Burgess and Jenn Colella do but this is so genuine and sincere. I would have loved to be able to hear this on the CD. This version that is. Amazing.
i have struggled many times on whether or not to tell my parents; break their hearts in half or break them open to the idea of accepting me. Letting me be me around them, around the house, around the town, around the family. Your music, not just this song, speaks of emotion, compassion, a melody of life that takes you from one stage to the next on a journey full of obstacles, hurdles of life, start positions that make impossible to gain the lead but you weave and you breath and you find you. thx
Thank you for this beautiful music. I am seriously crying my eyes out right now...
I wish I had heard this song while I was coming out... but I am glad that you have put this out there and hope that it will help prevent another terrible thing from happening to an LGBTQ kid...
Thank you... and I hope to continue being exposed to your work for a long time.
This song is so beautiful and is exactly what I'm sure many are feeling. You have brought me to tears and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the amazing work, and I wish this would be made available on a CD, because honestly, it is the best piece of music I have ever heard. Period.
Damn...thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with us through your blog posts and videos and amazing music. You're more than just a fabulous songwriter but a real role model and guiding light as well. Thank you!!
That is my favorite blog thus far. I wish I had your voice. Also, I wish the pop music you write was still played on the "pop" stations. I grew up listening to pop of the late 90's and the first years of the millenium and it is nothing like that today. You don't hear any good pop ballads anymore and I think that is why I switched to country music! Love it Scott...your music is inspirational.
Scott, this is the first time I've cried while listening to one of your songs since the first time I heard "Now." This song needs to find it's way on to one of your CD's and into the sheet music book. Hell, by even a spot ub "Warmth of the Womb."
I'll be honest, I'm the president of my college's Pride and the number of kids that are afraid to come out is still overwhelming. Thank you Scott, for being a proud gay man and for writing music that is so inspiring to the homosexual community.
Thank you for putting this video up, I would love it if you would sale me the sheet music to this song! I had a horrible coming out a few years ago, thankfully its changing in a better direction, but no where near where I want it to be. I would love if I could have the song so I can sing to my parents. Thanks, keep writing amazing music!
scott, i've become such a huge fan of your work. never stop writing from your heart, it's beautiful. thank you for the inspiration you give to all of us.
Thank you for all you do for us as fans and for the musical theatre world in which I live. I too find it heartbreaking how people can't seem to evolve and see the right and beauty that is right in front of their eyes.
Blessing is beautiful, thank you for the perfect lyrics..
Every song that you write touches me in such a great way that i can not explain it. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are definitely my favorite songwriter and I get so excited everytime I see you have a new video up. Keep up the great work!

years ago to come out. I started crying like I did back then and realized that a lot more needs to be done when it comes to promoting tolerance in both schools and homes.
This is really sweet...I thought I was past the point of crying when it came to coming out and the acceptance process because I've cried so much already, but this song made me go back in time and remember what it was like a couple
Being from a small town and having kids in my school come out shows you it's hard. And you're right, people aren't very accepting in small town America.
This Is Beautiful <3 :)) i may have to do a cover of this
