This one from James Rogers of The Little Lord Street Band feels like a songwriting classic. Hits all the feels (with next to no rehearsal with the strings).

Safety Bay Love Song by James Rogers
Arranged by Julia Nicholls Music

Featuring Emma Buss, Madeleine Antoine,
Alix Hamilton and Emma Vanderwal
