"Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley

I finished reading the book "Raising Ryland" a few weeks ago (see my posts on 15-Apr-2015 and 28-Dec-2016).  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was fascinating getting more perspective, especially from his mother.

This morning I came across a video from CBS This Morning talking about the book and the family.  Just wonderful, very nice!  It too made me cry (the original video still makes me cry every time I watch it).

Also found another video about another transgender boy:

Anyway this is one of the pieces of music used in the original Ryland's Story video that his mom, Hillary, made.

Update 11-Feb-2017: I was listening to this song again this morning and these words caught my attention.  (I've mentioned here: 27-July-2015 and here: 26-Dec-2015 that I sometimes don't pay attention to what the lyrics are actually saying.)  Anyway this is an interesting verse:

Maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
