This sounds so sad!!! and also this music on 2:19 to 2:48, what is the singing?

[BelovedCaptain]

I believe the choir is singing the poem for the Statue of Liberty, you know, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses to be free..." that. :)

GAAHHH I WANT TO GO SEE THE STATUE AGAIN SOOO BADDDD!!

[Panelinaa]

why fievel justing the hatt alle the time?

[BelovedCaptain]

He keeps fixing it because it's too big on his head. XDD

"Papa, how come they changed my name to tilly?" =)

@AspergianMind Or that's just my excuse for being apparently ignorant of the fact. XD

[AspergianMind]

0:54 - 1:50

"Give me your tired, your poor"

"Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

"The wretched refuse of your teeming shore"

"Send these the homeless tempest-tost to me"

"I lift my lamp beside the golden door"

Honestly I thought it was a different language at first before figuring out it was English the whole time. I guess when you sing -speak from the soul- it opens us into a totally different realm of ourselves that is beyond words.

@DeathWarrant90 That's not what he meant, you know. If you can't work, then yeah, the gov should kick in a bit and help you out. If you're perfectly capable, on the other hand...besides, what if you just don't need health care? What if you're one of those people who doesn't get sick, or who self-medicates and doesn't need the service at all? People shouldn't be made to pay for something they'll never use themselves. Besides, the gov isn't competent enough to get something so important done right

"How many?"

"Five- I mean... I mean four."

Broke my heart when rewatching this a couple weeks ago.

@BelovedCaptain heres a trivia fact in an american tail during the mid 1880s the statue of liberty used to be copper just like a penny but as years and years passed by when the rain come the copper has faded away and that's how we get the color of the statue of liberty to this day ever since also the statue of liberty was a gift from France

This is still one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, and the only music that I've ever literally heard in a dream. Thank youfor posting this.
