Samantha Mina, SMA Syndrome survivor and author of the "Spectrum" young adult novel series, sings Jason Mraz's "Quiet" with slightly modified lyrics (below). Recorded on a Samsung Galaxy S5. Photography by Daniella Damiano. No 'karaoke' version of Mraz's "Quiet" exists, so she used the original song with timely pausing.

8/7/15 - Note from Samantha: I made this song as a gift for a man who is now no longer my boyfriend. We were together for years and I wish him well. I decided not to take it down after receiving private messages from those whom it touched.

And when I went home
There's another metro line
Construction all the time
Paving over yesterday.
You and I,
We can try
To find the side of it that's pretty
While Reston becomes a city
We won't let it be erased

Empires rise, empires fall
You have been a constant through it all

I will hold your hand
And watch the world spin madly
'Round this life we're in
Everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with
Everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with
You, you, you...

Every once in a while,
You know I get these real bad stomachaches
Worried about the mistakes
We've made along the way
You and I, we can't hide
From the fact that we need each other
How else will I recover
When the pain comes again

Temperatures rise, temperatures fall
You have been a constant through it all

I will hold your hand
And watch the world spin madly
'Round this life we're in
Everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with
Everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with
You, you, you...

There are no words, no words
When I'm with you, you, you

Every time I hear music,
They've added more stuff to it
Things are always moving
Into a futuristic place

Well you and I
We will try
We can try to dance until tomorrow
But time we'll have to borrow
Not a minute left to waste

Heartbeats rise, heartbeats fall
You have been a constant through it all

I will hold your hand
And watch the world spin madly
'Round this life we're in
Oh yeah, everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with [4x]
