On Sunday, April 5, singer and actress Mandy Moore gave a little at-home live concert on Instagram with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, and treated all her fans to some songs, including the ballad “Only Hope”  from her movie A Walk to Remember that she hadn’t sung in about twenty years.

The romantic drama movie  A Walk to Remember was popular in the early 2000s and tells the tragic love story of Jamie (Mandy Moore) and Landon (Shane West). Moore’s character performs the emotional song “Only Hope” during a school musical and watching her sing makes bad boy Landon fall in love with her.

Nearly 20 years after the movie’s release, Moore decided to treat us to one more performance of “Only Hope”. This time, however, via live stream on Instagram, as most people are social distancing during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Moore and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, gave a 45-minutes live concert on Instagram to bring some joy into people’s lives during these trying times. But amongst all songs, one got the viewers particularly excited: Moore’s acoustic version of “Only Hope.”

To people’s surprise Moore revealed that she had only sung about three times: "This is a song I've sung one time almost twenty years ago," she explained. "I think I've sung it once in concert in the Philippines not that long after [and] I sang it once to record it."

Therefore Moore wasn’t too sure she would perform the ballad well saying: “Bear with me, because I don’t really know it.” But naturally, she sang the song perfectly and knew every line. Still, she was kind of shy about her performance but luckily her husband said what everybody watching was thinking as he told her: “You nailed it!”
