who took his life at the age of thirty. It was totally appropriate, especially "Of all the comrades that e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away." He was an incredibly good friend to many, most of whom were convinced they were his very best friend. Sadly, he dealt with depression much of his life, which he successfully hid from almost everyone. He is still missed.

That song can bring me to dears. This is by far, the very best version ever.
