My daddy and i saw this live 4 years ago. Today he's 78 and having suicidal thoughts after a few bad injuries and dimensia is coming. I'm so scared. Please keep swimming. We all have to
My dear friend who showed me this song passed away in 2011. He showed me this song to cheer me up when I couldn't handle the sadness. He saved me and this song will always be so special to me. I love you, Renzo. Thank you for showing me how great life can be, even when you think you can't go on. I'll never forget you.
"I promise you it's not as far as you think" Goddamn what a life preserver this line has been for me more than one time. I love the desperate way he says that it matters. Your struggle. Your swim. It doesn't have to be far. It doesn't have to be fast. It sure as hell ain't easy. But you gotta swim.
I have been listening to Jack’s Mannequin, Something Corporate and Andrews music for years. 6 years ago we went to one of Andrews shows, my now wife and I swabbed ourselves and signed up to be bone marrow donors. 4 years later my son needed a bone marrow transplant for a rare bone marrow failure. I was his match. He has been through a lot. But, he is learning to swim. This whole process is hard, a lot of what you go through is never properly explained to you. May everyone who goes through it have strength to keep swimming.
Lots of comments reflect my feelings. This song got me through the loss of both my parents. My son is in the hospital after a suicide attempt right now, and this song is back in heavy rotation
I’m sorry to hear about everything you have gone through. I hope better days are upon you and your family. We are all in these struggles together and know our family is with yours.
Andrew was truly my daughters favorite artist and she loved this song! She sadly couldn't hold on and took her life on June 26th, 2017. I miss her terribly and truly hope the message in this song saves someone who needs to know they are worth everything!! I'm a grieving mother yes, but I'm still a mom. If you need to talk..anyone..im here.
Dear stranger reading this. I don't know you but I know no matter how bad it feels right now, it will get better. the sun will rise and there will be another day where you don't feel the way you do right now. Making it through the pain you feel now will be worth those good moments ahead of you. Don't you give up on yourself, I believe in you and even though I don't know who you are, I love you.
I am your fan in Korea. Whenever I have a hard time, I listen to this song and keep my head above- it has a kind of strong beat, but why does it make me have tears? Love your song- love your voice
I lost my sister to cancer five years ago. I am about to drive to NYC for mothers day to possibly talk to my mother for the last time, she has cancer in both lungs. To the person reading this, your pain, is our pain. Its a shared heartbreak and you are not alone. We are all connected in ways most of us do not begin to understand. The fleeting moment that life is, don't waste on petty arguments political or otherwise. Love is the reason we walk this earth. Stop letting people split us up into categories. We are all brothers and sisters.
