I’ve happened upon the PS22 Chorus a few times before, but today I saw a couple of videos that really touched my heart.
The first was their end-of-year send-off/graduation song to Taylor Swift’s, “Long Live.” Seeing these young people so connected — to the music, to one another — and feeling it all so deeply…well, it just moves me to tears.
Then I stumbled on the video where their teacher surprises his parents with their special song on their 50th anniversary. So sweet!
But one comment on the video really stood out for me:
“This video is proof positive that songs are timeless, ageless, and can make you smile and cry at the same time! PS22–thank you for joyously opening this musical time capsule from 1974 and creating a happily ever after moment for this beautiful couple! Happy Anniversary!”
What stopped me in my tracks was… “musical time capsule from 1974!” Hahaha! I was assuming his parents were “old,” only to realize that they got married the year I graduated high school.
I guess I’ll never get used to “being my age!” 🤩
