First time I have seen the Jamie Lawson video

Me too. So powerful

This one. Every damn time.



And this is a more recent one I've found. If you like folk music, you might like this one.

You want weepy? You want maudling? You want unbridled sadness?

Watch this video it's got all of the above and more. Do I win?
