I had this song playing all day yesterday… while buried beneath the sheets of my bed, in the car at 10pm after I saw my doctor and they all left for the night. I sat there in the empty carpark, tears rolling down my face like raindrops. Thank you for sharing such a powerful song. It is actually one of the few things people have done that’s managed to reach me. We like to come up with solutions, make people smile, tell people it gets better, tell people to keep hanging on. But life is not a fairytale and sometimes there is no happy ending. Sometimes all that we need is for someone to sit with us in the night and acknowledge the fact that it is dark. To understand that death is not the worst thing that can happen to someone. To stop getting us to sit up because it’s painful to sit up and instead let us resign to the floor. I can’t handle much right now… physical company is hard, speaking is hard, this world is hard and it has been for a very long time. But you sharing this song has been like having someone there in a way that is gentle and manageable for me x
It means so much to me that I am able to reach out to you like this. That I am able to still touch your soul even though we’re not together.
It stopped my heart when you first replied but warmed it when I read your beautiful words.
Music can keep us connected
