Not About Angels by Birdy (from 'The Fault In Our Stars' soundtrack)

[Just to let you guys know, I saw the movie (The Fault In Our Stars), and as soon as I heard this song playing as Hazel was driving back to her house after the funeral, I immediately started crying again.  It was so perfectly timed, and all of the feels just overwhelmed me.  Bravo Shailene, Ansel, and Nat for making me sob in public.  This song is just so wonderfully sad and simple, and Birdy's voice adds the perfect emotion into the lyrics.]
