I see this more as an elderly couple who have lived their entire life together, lying down next to each other, holding hands and both saying "I'm ready.".
theamvgirlx You gave me chills and also feels so stop that. I'm seeing them live in 2 days and now this will be the only thing I'll be able to think of. I know I'm going to cry now. I KNOW it.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was in the car with my ex and this song resonated with me so much. To the point of tears. I looked over at my ex and they didn’t even respond. They actually hated the song and it was at that moment when I realized that we were never meant to be. That they would never follow me into the dark. Flash forward to 4 years later, and I had a first date with someone very special to me. We went to a bar and they had karaoke. Wouldn’t you know, this was the song he had chosen to sing! That special someone is my now husband and we’re expecting our first child in May! So don’t give up hope! There is someone for you!
Lost my wife of 11 years to suicide two and a half years ago. This was her favorite song. I wanted so badly to follow her. I made promises to her, though. To look after her daughter and our dogs. I'm worn, brothers and sisters. Like butter spread over too much bread, as Tolkien said. I have promises to keep, though.
When I heard this I didn't know much about loss but after a while thru life and lessons suicide became more obvious and I knew to reach out to victims of suicide but I couldn't forget I knew them before they were lost and I found u 💔
I am the polar opposite. I hate crying, I hate that my physiology brings along the triggers. Crying for me serves absolutely no purpose. I don't feel better after. I am happy to deal with being sad, but crying is so unnecessary, yet there are time where holding back is next to impossible. Getting choked up from a mere thought. It sucks and I hate it.
i sing this song to my cat who is getting pretty old. i’ve lived my entire life with her, and i honestly love her more than anyone in the world. living without her won’t really be living.
I lost my best bud after 18 years... I thought I would go too. But there were more fur babies living out in the cold. Those who's human passed away. They saved ME, and I'm still here....
Hi Josephine, this was always my cat and my self’s song, I recall listening to it with him as I stroked his head and looked into his beautiful green eyes. I looked into his eyes for the last time two years ago, and I couldn’t bear listening to this song again. Today I stumbled upon it by chance and it brought me to tears. Not a day goes past when I don’t think of him, he will forever be on my mind, but even when I thought I wouldn’t be able to love and connect with an animal again, I found my new cat ivy. I know the heartache you’re going through, but give another kitty a chance when the time comes. I know you and I will see our babies someday again when our time comes.
I used to think it was really really sad, but now that I'm older, a little wiser, and have someone whom I love with all of my heart, I see it as a dark but really sweet and comforting song. I really would and _will_ follow her into the afterlife, no matter what it is. Whether it's heaven, hell, or absolutely nothing at all, I'll be at her side for it.
My daughter just lost her fight. Three days before I played this song on repeat. She was my best friend and I’m so lost without her. She was my light. I can’t follow her yet but soon my princess
My heart breaks for you. I’m so sorry for your loss. A child is such a precious gift, I know that must be hard to carry but I hope one day it doesn’t feel so heavy. Rest in peace beautiful girl.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss! It scares me to think if I should have to lose either my son or daughter before I go. There is a song for you by Our Lady Peace called Jaded or 4am. Listen to it.
Loss is the hardest thing anyone can go through and although it seems like the void left by those no longer here will never be filled, we have to keep moving forward not just for the departed but for our loved ones still here. It may take time but I promise you it’ll get better. Cherish every moment because tomorrow is not guaranteed and Live your life with love and kindness.
This was by boyfriends favourite song until he took his life. He was bullied for being bisexual, his parents didn’t accept him, he didn’t have many friends. But he was amazing, he was one of the nicest people ever. It was one year ago today when he took his life. The next day I tried to take mine, I wanted to follow him into the dark. But I can’t bring myself to do it. R.I.P Jay 🖤🖤
JackoDelTaco 23 Then don't do it. I was once like you and I am only 14. I wanted to end my life because I am 30,000 dollars in debt just because of bills and court between me, my mom, and dad. But I didn't and thank god. I get to help people and I have a new passion for playing video games and listening to rock. DontLook4Deez is my channel. I am new to youtube but I play a lot of games. To sum it up you will find what you like and you will be just fine. God Bless you and sorry for your Loss.
Look I know you're going through a lot of things but always remember you shouldn't take your life I'm sure if he was here he wouldn't want you to do it I know that it hurts and that's okay but once you're able to get through that everything will be worth it just don't end it I'm sure there's still a lot of things you should experience he might not be here to experience it with you but you can tell him the stories when the right time has come and I'm sure there's a lot of people who care about you and would want to be by your side and all I'm really trying to say is after all the pain and hardships everything will be okay and once you're able to live through that pain things won't seem as scary and you'll feel like you can do anything even if you feel like you're alone your not he's always there to support you even though he's not beside you and your friends are always there for you And if you want to you can find a really close friend that you can trust and tell them how you're feeling so they can help you and if you're not comfortable with that you can always have conversations through the Internet cause I can relate if you're not comfortable talking about the things you're going through with people you know cause you feel like they would judge you just everything will be okay "after the rain there's always a beautiful rainbow to see"
My mother used to tell me stories of catholic school. There was a nun who had a pointer with a pencil topper frito bandito man on the end. My mother opened a box of tissues wrong and the nun twhacked her across both hands with it. Everybody hated the frito bandito man.
I've really liked this song for a really long time, but now it has a different meaning for me. It actually reminds me of my parents, both of them died in a car accident. The thing is that my father was still alive when they brought him to a hospital (my mom passed away immediately), unfortunately, he passed away no much later. At the funeral, someone came to my side and told me this: "You know, maybe he couldn't have lived without your mother, so he followed after her, that's how much he came to love her". Yes, I´m sure, he followed her into the dark...
I'd like to recommend a song you should listen to. It's called Alright by Pilot Speed. It's going to remind you of your parents and probably make you cry.. but it's a beautiful song I promise.
My grandmother just passed away a few hours ago and it's nice to not feel alone right now. Thank you to all the brave commenters who've posted their own loss, hopefully we can all find solace in our shared pain. Much love.
If you’re here listening to this, then you need to know ... you matter, you’re loved, you will get through this, you will persevere. Hold on. It gets better. 🙏🏻❤️
my soulmate died a day before my birthday. he was in love with me, and it was the purest love anyone had ever given me. (i’ve only experienced toxic love before) which made me too afraid to allow myself to love him back. i didnt know how to accept such love im not used to. he always asked me to take a chance with him, and i always replied “im too afraid to lose you and i cant afford that” thing is, he never knew i was more afraid to love him than to lose him. but in losing him, i realized i’ve loved him. i loved him. i love him. but i never got to tell him that, i never got to tell him that when i asked him if he ever met someone he genuinely wanted to spend the rest of his life with that i hoped i’d be his answer because he was mine. he was someone i saw myself wanting to spend the rest of my life with... but now every year his death anniversary is a day before my birthday reminding me of how he never got to celebrate it with me like he said he would. hope when our souls reunite one day, i tell him how much i loved him. tell him i’m sorry that his last text msg was “please reply”, i’m sorry i watched my phone ring without picking up. i’m sorry that our last phone call was short. i’m sorry i didn’t hold him tighter the night that was our last. your soul is with me always. i carry you with me everywhere i go and no time would ever erase or replace you. you’re a part of me, and one day ill be able to tell you myself. he died in his sleep. rest your heart and soul in peace, my angel Hussam. until we meet again.
He knew you loved him...❤🦋 I lost my son at 25 years old. I am reminded of his love for me and his beauty as a person. This song is so ethereal. It speaks of love and loss. It transcends all barriers. It is absolutely lovely.
this i the most depressing comment I've ever read, I hope your not infinitely sad on your birthday I know I would be, this is all I can think of when I read your comment I hope your not offended by it.
At my friend's funeral, his brother went up to the podium and sang this song for him. It was beyond beautiful. Rest in peace Colt Justice Yorks May 1999 - June 18, 2016
My mother died earlier this year. she was in her 50s. Today is my parents' 33rd anniversary. I broke down when I heard this song. I can't imagine what my father must be going through. Maybe someday I'll be able to listen to this song and Supermarket Flowers without crying. Much love to everyone else in the comment section.
Hello dear fellow desi sister..how are you doing? I hope uncle is doing okay and better now. May Aunty's soul rest in peace and as an invisible cloak protect your beautiful family with all the love n care in the world.
@@briandepalma7252 Hello back to you fellow desi! Thank you so much for your beautiful words! We are doing better. Of course there is still a void but you get used to it with time.
The sheer amount of comments on here that just give a name and "I'll follow you into the dark" saddens me. I've never felt so much for stranger's losses until today.
I work in hospice. Had a patient that was not even 10 years older than me. Watching her teenage daughters hold her hands with their dad nearby was heartbreaking. This song helps sometimes when I have a situation like that.
I remember I was dating an Amazing girl and she was then diagnosed with cancer. I constantly kept praying she would get better, I constantly checked in on her and I always hoped she would get better. Yesterday she passed away and I just can’t believe it. She was sweet, caring, and pure. I’ll never forget you My friend. You meant so much to me
Kas have felt such rejection from just this one girl, she broke me down and broke my heart. I’m nothing close to perfect . What I am is a fool for love. I have always appreciated my own time . It’s what I needed to become someone worth being with. I avoided becoming close to anyone until I found the one. I couldn’t get over what she did to my self esteem. She showed me the worst of what a relationship could be. I’m 38 years old . A full grown man and have seen so many things I will never mention. But that’s all it took to rip my heart out of my chest. I began to realize that she was severely bi-polar and would not take medication. Because I would spend every penny I had on a certain day on food and movies and stuff at CVS , just everywhere and everything I would get her. Some nights you are supposed to just chill in and make sacrifices so you can get the spin brush and whitening strips and cuz ya can’t wait ya make me pay for the most expensive perfume at the most expensive place because you can’t wait to hit the mall where I can hustle the guy down for the biggest bottle. She would smack the shit outta my face. I can not hit a woman. She would make fun of me all day for something, it would make me feel like I was a bum. Years go by there is a total of three great months mixed in. Other than that I haven’t the slightest clue how to talk to woman. She destroyed my entire outlook on everything. For real every single thing is not the same. I question everything I do. Please tell me that this isn’t the way things are supposed to be. Because I am just picking one of the first ones I seen and yours struck me. Because this song was actually a song I would play and sing with a deep belief and absolutely would have done so for her, until one beautiful day I sang the song , with her again on my mind and I couldn’t believe in it, I could not give it the belief and soul it needed. So it really showed me something totally different. You can follow whomever you want into the dark . Yet they wouldn’t want for it to have been you. Selfish to the bitter end and beyond. This song showed me that I had to run. In that sense it was a life saver for my soul.
Ryan Aldrin Toxic relationships can crush your soul. They can make you feel like you can’t love again. I’m sorry that you had to endure that for so many years. I’m empathetic because that is not the way it is supposed to be. I’m sorry. But that is good news after all. Life doesn’t have to and won’t always be this way. There is only so much you can do, but it’s important to take the proper reconstructive measures in times like these. It helps to build yourself back up. Focus on impressing yourself instead. Your entire worldview can be altered by a single person, but it does go both ways. You must not lose hope. Doing so, you risk missing out on what could have made it all worthwhile.
I love the comments on this video. The love, the pain. We are are just hurt people trying to find our way in a maze of hurting people, so why can’t we help each other heal? A answer I may never know.
wow. i just came across this comment when listening to this song in the first time in a while. its crazy how many likes this got, 206 people saw this and decided it meant so much to them to like it, and, 1 year later, this comment still holds true in every aspect of my life.
Eventually someone will look at this like a year or two from now. Maybe just months. And god knows what has happened in the world or in your life when you look at how long ago this comment was posted. Whatever you're going through. Stay safe, remind yourself there are people who love you and want to make sure you're okay and do good in this world. It might get scary soon but things can turn around, don't lose hope.
@@stanmarsh8470 Hey Shaggy bro hope you're having a good day man. Mine's not that good my ex is pissed for no reason but the sun will come out tomorrow you know what I'm saying?
I still miss you Mia, you were my best friend and my first love. If only I got the chance to tell you how I felt before you pulled the plug. I remember how you asked me to stay alive for you during my suicidal days because I felt a deep emptiness, that was nothing compared to what I felt when you passed. I promised myself to stay alive to keep your memory burning bright, and I do not think negatively of you, nor will call you a hypocrite. You were so optimistic and saw the bright side of everything. I hate your ex boyfriend that beat you, I hate your parents for always bickering and neglecting you, and I hate the pills that took you from this world. But I love you for the art of forgiveness you taught me. I lost you before you were mine and all I want to do is see your face again and hear your voice, but the world had different plans. Nevertheless I love you and I know I’ll see you again one day but I’m gonna keep going not just because of the promise but for myself as well. This life is here because of you, thank you. Until we meet again
That’s right. That’s noble. She wants you to live buddy. You had to live for both of you guys. We may not be certain of what is to come after death. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s a deserved paradise. But whatever it is you must take the time to find out. The promise you made is so important. So so important. Don’t forget that
My mother died of brain cancer then 6 hours later her sister had multiple heart attacks and died. She had said before "if you go, then I am going too."
i’ve never cried more than while reading these comments. to all those who lost someone, stay strong and remember that God loves you. you’re not alone and you can get through this. i might not know you, but i love you all
RIP Dad. It's been almost three years but I still miss you. I miss discussing obscure films and analyzing Floyd songs with you. I miss visiting the book-fair and messing around the stalls with you, hunting for books. I went last year with a friend, but it just wasn't the same. I wish you were there to see me get my first paycheck. I hope you're proud of the person I've become.
I used to listen to this song with my dad when I was younger, and we'd listen to the song while watching the video of the bunnies that went with it haha. I'd always cry because it was sad to me. My dad would get out his guitar and sing along to the song for me. Due to a rare condition he has, he's now in critical condition in the hospital right now. I'm trying my best to learn this song on the guitar so that I can go and sing it to him before he passes😢 love you dad. ❤️
Wow, I am touched by your story. Life is cruel and everyone will eventually experience the sorrow of losing a loved one. Just remember that is just how life is and you are not alone. I wish you the best :)
i wish your father the best of luck... remember, even if he does pass, you wont be alone, he will always be with you in your heart... i am praying for him living through this.
Blue Brushy, you were the greatest toothbrush a guy could ask for. When you fell and rolled underneath the toilet, my heart sank knowing it was all over. Rest easy my bristly friend.
Pete Poteet dude you dont need to say that because of their opinion. Its not like they are wrong. Having children at an age that young could make it hard for the parents and the baby. Yes What they said was kinda fucked up but they only want attention so dont give it to them.
just because someone else has it harder doesn’t mean you aren’t sad. just because there are kids in africa starving doesn’t mean you are automatically better :( i wished people realized everyone’s problems are significant
My best friend took his own life three years ago. I would have liked to help him if I had known what was going on inside him. I would have followed you everywhere. You are not forgotten, I miss you.
There are some songs, that, when you listen to them for the first time, you feel as if you've known the song all your life. I still remember, the first time I heard this, I felt that familiarity. The music seemed to be playing for me. It's a wonderful feeling.
***** im a song writer and at some point as i writer you will surely come to the point when you will have to eventually deal with mortality. writers are believers and dreamers so afterlife for some of us is a logical progression. and when you are truly in love..... then then walking into the dark with your love is the sweetest of all thoughts
one of my best friends committed suicide about two weeks ago, at his funeral his boyfriend, no one in his family knew he was gay, stood up and sang this song and it was the most emotional moments I've ever felt. Everyone was crying R.I.P James L. Nov. 6 2001-Apr. 12 2017. You were so young
My dad used to play this in the car on road trips when I was a kid, I've probably had the lyrics memorized for 13 years now. Still one of the best songs I've ever heard.
This song always made me cycle through emotions so quickly. So hard to believe I first heard this song as a teenager and now I'm a grown woman and still hear this song.
Zeus, you were the greatest cat a boy could hope for. When I was sad, you were there to cuddle and comfort me. You were my only friend for a while, and my best friend ever. It's been five years since you died, and still, I miss you everyday. I love you, Zeus.
Love how everyone here is talking about losing their parent or sibling to cancer, then you're here winging about your cat xd I've lost cats and dogs thoughout my life, but losing my mom to cancer is soul crushing. I don't know why, but your comment kind of made me mad, and it feels like you're doing it for likes, or troll to see how many likes you can get with a comment like this for fun.
@@OfficialJansen Allow me to give you a quick life lesson so you don't go around gatekeeping everyone's sorrow. You lost your mom to cancer -- thousands of people have had their children raped and murdered. Does that invalidate your grief because it was a child or due to the violent death itself? Using your logic, their pain is probably worse than yours so you can't say anything about your loss. Also, you have no idea the depth or reality of someone's emotional state. You only know to project your emotions to a scenario you're perceiving based on your own reality. Not all parents are winners -- many brutalize and molest their children -- you think those kids are crushed like you were? I doubt. it. For many people, the companionship between a pet and their human is the most profound love imaginable. It's not for you or me to say. Pain is not a virtue. But empathy is. If you spend all your time weighing your loss against someone else's, then you're invalidating their pain just like a parent who lost their child could do to you. Someone ALWAYS has it worse. Even worse than you. Never forget that. Grief is not a competition. Embrace empathy and be grateful for the relationship you had with your mother that warrants such soul-crushing grief. With big love comes big grief, and love comes in all forms. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@OfficialJansen Sup My first experience of loss was losing my cat. I loved her greatly, and it was the worst pain I had felt. Later in life, my dad and brother died within one year of each other, and I all but forgot the loss I felt over my cat's death. To this day though, I'm still too much of a wuss to get attached to an animal that way. I know that any loss of life is horrible, and I want to avoid that feeling as much as possible. I understand your comment and your anger, and I'll admit I laughed a little when I saw the cat comment cause it seemed out of place, but I don't blame them for posting it if that's how they feel. I could probably find a better friend in a cat than anyone else I know (besides my SO), and losing a friend can be soul crushing as well. On a side note, my condolences for your loss. I hope you're doing well.
Sup My cat is almost 18 years old and I love her to death, I've known her almost all my life. I guess everyone has different relationships with their pets, but some people truly have a deep bond with their cat or dog. I'm sure losing my parents would be worse, but that does not take away that it'll hurt a lot when she'll pass.
Evie, the world without you around has been such a struggle it's been 2 weeks and 5 days now since you've been gone. I miss your cuddles every night when I went to bed, yesterday we picked up your Ashes from the Vet and I haven't even been able to look at them yet because I still can't face that you are gone my darling. I just hope you are okay wherever you are now, and I will see you soon. I love you forever and always my little angel.
first time I heard this song, I was watching the movie "the invisible". I've grown up since then, but this will always be an "anthem" of my childhood. sad, yet loving. soft, yet profound. amazing tunes. well done.
I played this on my acoustic at my grandmother's funeral 3 years ago. broke down at the end of the final verse and barely finish the song. not a day goes by that she's not on my mind...I know I'll miss her forever...rest easy...till we meet again!
Leaves from the vine, Falling so slow, Like fragile tiny shells, Drifting in the foam, Litter soldier boy, Come marching home, Brave soldier boy, Come marching home.
My fiance and I are going to use this as our first dance at our wedding in two months. I'm very sick and we honestly don't know how much more my body will take. But we aren't only using this song as a symbol of undying love. But also as undying sacrifice. A lot of bad luck has come my way and I always feel like if it wasn't for me, my fiancé would have a much better life. But he says I will always follow you into your darkest days and hardest hours. We have been through so much. We have been in the darkest part of our relationship, with sickness, job losses, pregnancy losses, and so much more. I have always loved this song, but I am so grateful that now there is so much meaning behind it for the both of us.
My girlfriend and I had some weird thing with this song. Now she got pregnant from being raped, and she insisted on cutting me from her life so I wouldn't be burdened. If anyone would give me a ride to her new place in New York, I'd be the guy to play this outside her house waiting for her to come back to me. I don't care what's she's going through, I'll go through it with her.
Damn man, that must be so hard.. :/ I wish the best for both of you form El Salvador!! And don't woory, If it's meant to be your paths will cross again, i'm sure!!
Someone I considered really close to me and confided a lot in, walked away from my life. I am fully conscious of the fact that I made some mistakes but losing a friend that you invested so much into emotionally is hard. It's almost as if they take a part of you with them. The memories almost seem unreal, a lifetime away and sometimes even dreamy. This song has given me a lot of comfort over this phase and I hope everyone going through a tough phase finds the strength to solider on and explore brighter pastures. :)
apparently it’s a common sentiment for loved ones who have passed to have sung this song...same goes for me. it’s still a weird mix of comforting and harrowing to hear this. it’s also sad and beautiful to see my experience mirrored by so many other people, stay strong to everybody who’s had to deal with this and i’m glad we can at least feel a little less lonely in our relationship with this song.
I feel as though I know this song, and not just because of Blackrock or anything. It's as though I've heard it so many times before, but can only remember the feelings, not the music itself. It's beautiful.
Years and years ago my first boyfriend played this song for me when my life was falling apart. He didn't have words to tell me he'd be with me through it so he used this song. Now every time I face my deepest heartbreak, I come back to this song. I remember that. It gives me hope for happier tomorrow's.
Tbh I don't think a reputable source should matter. I think the only thing you need to validate your music being good is one person to feel really moved by it and this song certainly has that.
there’s a girl named Hannah at my school with a white streak in her hair. About a year ago during her junior year of high school, her longtime boyfriend got into an awful car wreck and ended up dying. She sang this song at his memorial this year and started crying halfway through. I’m happy that the girl with the white streak in her hair has such a beautiful song to help her cope. thank you.
venus I met a woman in my criminal justice course with the same thing. She was a domestic abuse survivor and her head got bashed to the point where it just grows in white.
I'm crying in the middle of the night because of the comments here. Why you guys gotta make me cry? :( I hope the memories of your loved ones will stay with you until you follow them into the dark. I hope the memories of mine will as well.
@Felisya Alaudina, I should have played this song at my mother's funeral for my dad, he followed my mother into the dark about a year after her passing. My mother always gave my father his strength, without her he just went down hill quickly
Before my boyfriend and I got together, we had, had feelings for each other for years. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I had to have an immediate partial hysterectomy. Before surgery, he played this song for me. I have several medical problems. I'm having my bladder removed on 5/30/2019. He's been by my side through every step of the way. I've had millions of Drs apts to get to the point of having it removed. The medical issues alone have been hell on us. We are, like most everyone else, struggling to survive. We don't have much money. Let alone a place to call home. Every time we hear this song, it stops us in our tracks and reminds us that we at least have each other.
For anyone who sees this, though unlikely, keep pushing forward. I'm sure you'll see them again, but they would want to see you strive. While I didnt come from loss (It was a cover/parody, and I wanted to hear the original), I still cry whenever I hear it. Have a nice day guys gals and nonbinary pals~
Man, everyone here has experienced some sort of deep, piercing loss, and it makes me feel kinda silly for my significantly less tragic connection to the song. And yet, I still cry whenever I hear this song. I truly feel the emotion Ben Gibbard pours out from his heart into the music. And I wish with all my heart that I will find a love that runs as deep as this. This was “our song” between me and my first high school boyfriend. He wasn’t my first love, but my first “mature” love, if that makes any sense. Gone were the days of childhood crushes, and on into the days of planning a future and deep conversations. We would cuddle under the stars, he'd bake me cookies, he'd read poetry to me until I fell asleep, the whole package. I have some wonderful memories with him, but also some awful ones. He was so manipulative; he shattered my already fragile heart and self-esteem. I was blind with naïveté and puppy love, thinking I could "fix" him somehow. It took me so long to see who he truly was. I still have trust issues from it. It was my only real, long-lasting relationship for years, so I was afraid to try again for love because I didn't want to go through that again. It’s funny how many of my best memories are with some of the worst people who have hurt me the most. For a long time, I believed I was unlovable, or that “true love” was something only in fairytales. It’s awful, living so young and jaded. It took me a while, but I’ve met a better man who really loves me and treats me with respect, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I still cry at this song now - not for the painful memories of the past, but for the bittersweet beauty in it and for the hope that our love will be this strong, knowing that we will go out together.
I'm 11. This is my parents song. I always used to hear this. Never knew what it really ment. And I used to sing it all the time. But my father passed in 2016. I miss him so much. I had forgot it for a while until I saw this. Now I can sing amazingly. This is to you dad. Miss you!!!
Me while listening songs i always have a habit to scroll comments,but the comments in this song make my tears came out after long time back feeling sad to those who have lost anyone close to their heart. Ohh god hold my tears,i need a tissue paper too
My heart breaks over and over for every one of these tragic comments. I love you all and am sending each of you light. You are a blessing and I am so thankful you are on this earth
The closest friend I ever had and also the bass player in my music group The Isms recently died from a terminal illness. He played this song for me towards the end of his life. This song really resonated with him. Now I listen to it in memory of my dearest friend.
I have been listening to this song today, and reflecting on life. I just lost the love of my life yesterday. Together for 34 years, we had our ups and downs. She fought cancer for nine years, but in the end, she got tired and departed to be with the Lord. When I first heard this song many years ago, I was driving to work, and it brought me to tears, knowing that my soul mate and I would someday part. I will play this song at her memorial and look forward to being with her wherever she is, including into the dark!
My sincerest condolences, my friend. I'm so very sorry you have to go through this. You are not alone. This is a beautiful song to play for her. I'm more than certain that you will be reunited once again. No matter where you go or what you do, she will always be there for you even now. Even if you're unaware, feeling lost/alone, or have lost your way. She will always be your guardian angel, your guide. She is at peace, no longer in pain and happy. She can be the sun to brighten your day and the moon to shine in your darkest hour. I pray for you and her. Bless you!!!❤
About a week ago I was eating an ice cream cone and two bites in the top fell onto the carpet. This song helps me through the pain of losing that sweet sweet cherry vanilla goodness. I don't think the pain will ever go away completely but this songs helps me to smile a little each day.
I'm so sorry... i know it's tough, i've been through the same too and after years and years the pain still there. Right now i can feel the tears but you know, you have to push you up and move on. In my case, ill never forget you mint chocolate, you've been a lot to me until the end and i know you're in a good place even if you are....without me :'( Good luck to you my friend
This song reminds me of my great grandparents, after 65 years of marriage and growing up together my grandmother went into the hospital for a routine checkup she suddenly had a stroke and ended up in palliative care and an hour later we were saying our goodbyes when my uncle wheeled in my grandfather he screaming at the top of his lungs that it was supposed to be him first and if his legs still worked he'd carry her through the gates of the holy land himself because it was what she deserved, it was the most heart breaking thing I have ever heard in my life he kept saying over and over that he loved her and after 65 years he had still loved her so very much since before they were kids, to this day I still hear him crying, she was completely unresponsive but when she passed she opened her eyes one last time and looked at him and he said he loved her and she was going to be ok and that he'd be there soon to take care of her like always then she closed her eyes and she just died, I had to grab her stuff and the sad thing is she had her money in her coat for the taxi ride home it happened so fast and so suddenly, my grandfather died a week later at the same time and same day she did, he waited for her funeral and the next day he just layed down and passed away, wherever they are now I hope there together and happy

In 2017, I graduated.... But me sitting in the sidelines after quitting football senior year, I never went to prom. I just went home after I got off work. I asked my high school crush. She said no. I felt so let down. But now this song makes me feel like I could go back...go back and fix everything. Now all my friends and graduates are going to exotic places of the world while I'm just working at a Taco Bell and staying at home. When I listened to this. I feel like I should do something with a special someone... Well most of people won't read this, so here you go.
I feel if you want, you can do whatever you want with your life. Go live life, don't regret, and never look back. It can only get better if you have the ambition to do something. Hope i said something meaningful
I completely understand where you are coming from. The first step is always the toughest. Make a choice and go for it. Believe me a decade will go by in a blink of an eye. Make sure you are on the right side of that door.
Hey bro i read this shit. Keep your head up my dude there's nothing wrong with working and going home at least you're not sitting around all day lol and something I've learned you don't find love it finds you and once you have it don't fuck it up cause it'll never be the same twice. Trust me i know and i fucked up hasn't felt the same with anyone since
I know what you are going through. I quit football senior year too and felt like I hadnt had the full high school experience because of how introverted I was. My world view kinda cracked and all i could think, "so what now? is this really it?" And I saw the EXACT same things you have. Nothing but work and college to occupy me meanwhile my friends were out exploring the world. I felt really small and an overwhelming pressure was always on my shoulders. So I know what you need to hear. You are doing exactly what you should be doing. You are just preparing yourself for the future and these little things you think you are doing are not so little. Trust me. "Everthing is going to be fine in the end. If its not fine its not the end." - Oscar Wilde Oh. And the crush thing. In time you will look back to the time you were turned down and its going to hurt just as bad remembering it as when you were there. But the joy from being with someone who actually cares for you with all their being will make you feel lucky that you got rejected that day. I know I do. So in all, what Im trying to tell you is dont compare yourself to others and dont anchor to past events. Because we are all on the same boat. Some get off early, some get off late. Some jump right off. some take their time. Life isnt race nor competion. Nor is it a timer that is coninuously counting down. Its a blank page that is patinetly waiting until you are good and ready to continue writing your story. You got this.
Lost my boyfriend Daniel James Magar on October 18th, 2014 to suicide. I blamed myself, cried, had breakdowns, filled with regret. It's been 6 years and I think about you everyday Danny. I love you more then you will have ever know.
This song makes me feel nostalgic. I remember when i was little, my parents would always play this song around the house. I remember long drives home as this song played on the radio. I remember humming it when I felt sad and scared in my first month of kindergarten. I remember singing it when no one was around to hear. And then I heard it again, and I remembered all the little things about myself and I just feel so sad. There's a lot I could say about this song. But for now, I'll just say thank you to the person who brought it back to me. I don't ever want to forget.
I hope one day she'll realize that I'll always be there for her. Even after death, when all else is gone, I'll stand by her side willing to follow the path her soul has set.
This is the song I listen to when I'm at my lowest, at moments when I feel like I'm just flesh and bone waiting to rot and that the heart inside me has stopped beating since long. This is the voice that resurrects me from the dead, puts an end to my sorrow and gives me hope for the future. Thank you, Ben Gibbard. You have used your gifts well.
I met the love of my life a long time ago and it just wasnt the right timing, but i know she was my soulmate. Best person i’ve ever met. We loved this band. I just hope shes happy. Thats all ive ever wanted for her
I know this is a love song but it makes me miss my cousin on so many levels. He died of cancer at 25. I will see you again Cory. I love you like a brother to this day.
Reading some of these comments while this song plays made me cry. Just remember that you can make it through the hard times and be grateful for all the memories you can share with your loved ones. Cherish your friends and family
