Grey's Anatomy did it again. They gave me another song to share. Granted, you heard it on Thursday, when the show aired, but I just watched it tonight on Hulu Plus.
I mentioned before that I gave up cable TV for Roku and Netflix and Hulu Plus. It's been a nice change, cost-wise, but with the understanding that I will see the show after everyone else has. I'm ok with that. My daughter and son-in-law were the ones who started me on that journey and I was with my daughter tonight when we watched the latest episode. I got to watch the show while holding my newest grandson, asleep on my chest as I rocked him slowly in the rocker.
That said, I wouldn't recommend this episode to anyone with children. It was hard to watch as parents had to deal with the death of one of their children, somewhat at the expense of another child. This has been a hard story arc to watch as a couple with three children have watched as all three of their children suddenly deal with major heart problems, heart failures and heart transplants and rejections and major surgeries. Tonight's episode was the worst because they had two children with failing hearts and one of them had already rejected a transplant heart and now there was another donor heart available, but only one. I won't go into much more detail, other than to say that it was devastating.
I found myself hugging my grandson closer as I watched the show. The thought of having to deal with that sort of pain and grief over my babies… I just held him close. And the song… it broke my heart as well as it played in the background.
The song from the show is a 1993 Duran Duran song covered by Joy Williams, of The Civil Wars. She recorded it in 2010, but it was never released… until that episode. And now today when she uploaded this video.
