David Nail released an acoustic version of his song "The Secret". What a powerful song it is. I didn't realize the meaning behind the lyrics until the song was almost over and I felt a tug at my heart and a lump in my throat. 

"'The Secret' was a song that was written well in advance of The Sound of a Million Dreams record. Even back then, people who heard it, they'd comment on it and try to figure out what it's exactly about," Nail says. "I always loved songs like that where you make your own interpretation of it. It's good to finally have one of my own."

Here is part of the lyrics.

And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
