I think I just went through a new spiritual awakening.
This is my favorite DTP song of all time and the fact this cover exists makes it that much more meaningful for me.
I started to cry in the middle of the library because of how much this song means to me and because of how impressed I am.
That vocal work, though. THAT VOCAL WORK.
