Music has the ability to both evoke and soothe powerful emotions and can provide comfort and healing in times of grief. The holidays can be a trying time for anyone who has experienced profound loss, but one beautiful medley doing the rounds this Christmas offers solace to anyone who is missing a loved one.
The Piano Guys, a quartet of musicians from southern Utah, recorded “The Sweetest Gift” after the death of piano player Jon Schmidt’s 21-year-old daughter in 2016. As of Christmas 2019, the moving ballad has amassed over 6.1 million views on YouTube.
