// around the time frank dropped this, my grandpa was in the ICU. i could tell from just seeing him that he wasn't gonna make it. i was scrolling through music while in the waiting room one night, and to my surprise, frank released this. i played it on repeat while everything around me happened to be a continuous blur. // fast forward to when i went to his funeral service, i saw a sign in the lobby, and above it read the words "Moon River"... below it was the original beginning notes/keys for the song. needless to say, it brought tears to my eyes..and although the memories are painful when i listen to it; there will always be a sense of hope and sadness that lingers in my heart. frank has been the only artist in my lifetime to spark such a sense of nostalgia and hopefulness in me. he has genuinely helped me, way before the loss of my grandfather. and for him, im forever thankful. this song like many of his others, has helped me heal in a way that is indescribable.
I completely understand and I couldn’t have said it better. It’s an Art to see the blur between the. Tears and a smile of hope in your heart. Sorry you lost your grandpa. ☮️💟
i got a snapchat story reminder that i listened to this 1 year ago this date, I was going through a tough time and found a lot of comfort in this video (thank you GUILIANO). This song really touched my soul and for anyone out there going through some shit rn, it does get better. Stay strong! Tough times don't last, tough people do.
Moon river wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday (someday, day) A dream maker (maker, maker) My heartbreaker (you heartbreaker) Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' that way (the same, the same) Two drifters off to see the world There's such a crazy world to see We're all chasin' after all the same Chasing after our rainbow's end Moon river wider than a mile Crossin' in style someday My dream maker Heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going the same Two drifters off to see the world It's such a crazy world you'll see (What I see, who I become) What I see, who I become We're all chasin' after our end Chasin' after our ends Life's just around the bend, my friend Moon river and me
