This specific version of Moonlight Shadow.
Don't get me wrong, the original video to Mike Oldfield's version is awesome - this is still Mike Oldfried with Maggie Reilly.
After mum died, and I finally got my green card one month later, I went home to England for a couple of weeks.
"Pappa" as my brother and I call him....he's not our real dad, but we wish he was...he was with mum 4 years but a long time friend prior to that..
Pappa and I were watching Dr. Who one night, and it was the final episode with Rose in it (I only watch it sporadically on BBC Amercia, so not sure of the specifics).

And then, while going through some oldies but goodies last year via the medium of youtube, I came across this

Pappa. You're not my "real" dad, but you were a better man to my mum than she ever had. We wish to fuck you were our real dad. When I talk about my dads, there's
"Pappa Ray"
"Pappa Bob"
"Dad"

In that order. You're first and foremost. You did more for our mum than anyone else.

I love you.

I'm not going to apologize for the trout.
But Pappa Ray is awesome!
