    Must see! Especially if your a song writer.

    Whether you write songs or just listen to them, you should appreciate this wonderful documentary.

    Watching this just made me feel everything I have ever felt before while writing lyrics and music.

    Performing someone else's song in a way that moves others, is priceless.... but moving others from performing your own songs, touches something so deep inside that it is hard to explain.

    There are so many writers in this documentary, that you will be surprised what songs they have written for others

    The stories behind the songs are wonderful, enlightening and so, so touching.

    Make sure you watch the whole documentary. It's worth it.
