It hurts to let go

The musical artist Gotye is best known for the lovely (but way overplayed on the radio) song "Somebody That I Used to Know." Lately, however, another song of his called "Bronte" has caught my attention. The video depicts a herd of odd looking bison-like animals watching a little girl grow up and eventually leave them, which is tearjerking in itself, but I read later that the song was written about an old family dog that had to be euthanized. The tender, simple lyrics are beautifully sung by him, and you'd better get a kleenex before you click play
