And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done

For bein' done too soon,
For bein' done too soon.
For bein' done.

That song really touches me... Those lyrics at the end are just incredible...

Great job on this video... I read once that Neil actually wrote this song during a very bumpy flight. And yes, bratrat, "each one there has one thing they share" which is that their lives were cut short.

@westinjames1 Please don't denegrate this song by mentioning it and Bono in the same breath. Thank you.

This is a beautiful video of the song. . I loved the pics, better than lyrics. I used to use this song in a presentation when I was teaching many years ago. Its quite fascinating, his choice of characters.

Jesus, what a beautiful strong song! Who has ever honored those greatest one that left us so much (Memory)? Only Neil does, and in a very particular way. Beautifully don Neil. I would like to sing my song for you too! Love and take care!

@jarofants1 I'm sorry you lost your son; that is very tragic, but it does not take the sadness away from the death of my brother. I also lost my Dad when he was 68 and our Mom lived another 20 years without him, and she was very lonely. So many special events have seemed less special without our Dad here to share them. One person's grief does not take away from another's. You sound very angry, but it was cruel of you to take it out on me. Your message was very disrespectful.
