Something Wonderful: Christina Perri -- A Thousand years

"Our kids give us great inspiration for our music. When Jon's 17 year old daughter said how much she loved this song, Jon decided to try it. He experienced a flood of inspiration. "Never has a piano part come together this fast" Jon says. Steve experienced similar inspiration while composing the cello parts. Since the lyrics suggest a bride walking towards the groom in a ceremony we thought we would include a quote from the Bridal Chorus by Wagner in the climax of the song. (It is carefully disguised)." -- The Piano Guys

Very Nicely Done. I'm going to borrow this for my Good Morning Piece on Sunday. I'll put it back when I'm Finished.

These guys keep nailing them out of the park. Simply beautiful.

Thanks for all the "Something Wonderful" links. They never fail to inspire. Sometimes, after reading all the depressing news of the day, they are a life saver.
