Post a YouTube video of a song, that brings you to tears.

I have just finished reading “The mockingjay”, the third book in Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games” trilogy, and I swear this is the best trilogy I have ever read.
In book one there is a song she sings to a dying girl. There is another version as well, that is more 'cleaned up', but I prefer this one, as it must be closer to how the character would've sounded. It’s just beautiful and gripping:

Katniss' Song for Rue in the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins sung by Kimmy from Mockingjay.net.

Lyrics:

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise

Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet--
--and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away

Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet--
-- and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Here is the place where I love you.
