I had to stop this halfway through; too many feels.

If you’re ready for a tribute video that will unearth a million memories from your own life’s losses, buckle up friends.

When you vote with your $ and add this to your iTunes, know that the proceeds go to a great cause. Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation supports music programs in schools.

In WVH’s own words:

 

As my pop continued to struggle with various health issues, I was imagining what my life would be like without him and how terribly I’d miss him. While the song is incredibly personal, I think anyone can relate to the idea of having a profound loss in their life. I never intended ‘Distance’ to be the very first piece of music people would hear from me, but I also thought my father would be here to celebrate its release. This is for him. I love and miss you, Pop.” – WVH

 

Proceeds from “Distance” will be donated to Pop’s favorite charity, Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation MHOpus.org
