I e had to lay down my torch for someone I e loved for more than 7 years .... my heart bleeds- love knows not it's own depth until that hour of separation. Grieving like hell but torch is down
The song is great, so heartfelt. It also paints a great picture of Ryan Reynolds and hints at his hobbies he sometimes doesn't talk about. Him being at the door with a handful of documentaries, or sharing his writing. He honestly seems like a decent guy and someone Alanis truly loved.
Torch I miss your smell and your style and your pure abiding way Miss your approach to life and your body in my bed Miss your take on anything and the music you would play Miss cracking up and wrestling our debriefs at end of day These are things that I miss These are not times for the weak of heart These are the days of raw despondence I never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you like this I miss your neck and your gait and your sharing what you write Miss you walking through the front door documentaries in your hand Miss traveling our traveling and your fun and charming friends Miss our Big Sur getaways and to watch you love my dogs These are things that I miss These are not times for the weak of heart These are the days of raw despondence I never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you like this One step, one prayer I soldier on Stimulating, moving on I miss your warmth and the thought of us bringing up our kids And the part of you that walks with your stick-tied handkerchief These are things that I miss These are not times for the weak of heart These are the days of raw despondence I never dreamed I would have to lay down my torch for you like this
This song came on on the way to the vet. My wife of 10 years, had a cocker spaniel that came to love me... 16 yeas old, but I knew her for 10 years. 2 weeks ago today, we had to put her down... and I lost it in the car when it came on. We have no kids, and it's so quiet in the house when my wife is gone. Nobody to greet me at the door... nobody peeking past the curtains when I pull up... nobody to run towards me when they go outside. Somehow, we move on... but still remember. 😌
Truly simple, beautifully honest & completely unguarded, there is so much power & strength in her ability & willingness to be so open & Sincere 💎 Thank you Alanis & thank you Ryan, too... I guess 💕
Wow. Just heard this now for the first time. Years after it was written and performed, it represents every lament of missing those special aspects of every one of my past loves. So haunting, so honest. No matter where we eventually find ourselves in our journeys moving forward, there will always be a missing, to some extent. And that’s ok, for it means that there were parts worth missing, and we cannot regret that. ✨
I realize this is a year old post and the author may never see my comment, but I have to say that your comment is SO beautifully worded. One of the most accurate and honest statements wrapped in beauty. For some reason this song came into my head today. I'm so glad it did.
No one in the comments realising this song is completely full circle for Alanis. She started her career as a jilted and abused teen. She needed to get out that emotion. Working through that she eventually found a man (who i believe is younger) that is everything she ever wanted because it was no longer healty for either. But especially him
As a fellow Canadian, I'm just proud and honored Reynolds never forgot his roots. Many actors and actresses will avoid ever admitting they are Canadian in order to be accepted my Americans.
@@danielt00d The only interviews I've seen, she has declined who the song is about. And it doesn't sound like him at all. OK, I'll give you a pass, thanks for letting me know, and I apologize for being so rude.
Such a beautiful song for her x love. How i wish alanis and ryan did not parted and ryan was in front of d audience while alanis is singing this song.😞
So ahead of the curve she had a whole romance with Ryan Reynolds back in the time when he was just "no lines Deadpool" in that awful Wolverine movie lmao. Anyway here's to life's twists and turns and one of the first girlbosses I ever heard of 👑
