To anyone experiencing the power of Grief, in all of it's shades of color - I'm sending you love and Godspeed. I'm grateful the music found you and I hope it can offer a place to hold this beautiful mess that connects us all.
I too just came upon this song (just yesterday). I lost my precious son on March 3, 2023 from Epithelioid Sarcoma -he had just turned 39. There is nothing more painful than losing a child, no matter how old . I thank you for this wonderful song that has touched me down to my soul. You are very talented and my condolences to you for whomever it was you lost. I know you must have ,to be able to have these feelings that you made into this memorable, beautiful song. Juli H.❣
My firstborn was killed in a car accident at the tender age of 25. My grief has been a bottomless well of suffering. I have been existing.......not living. I have no words to express my eternal gratitude to you for this song. It has literally helped me to LIVE again. Thank you! ❤️
There are no words😔 I too have lost a son at 29 I absolutely know they are not dead…are in a higher realm & will make themselves known if we will open… He will never let you go
Words can't explain what I just felt while listening to this. My dad passed away a few months back, and this song... straight to the heart. A calm, peaceful feeling. Thanks for blessing us with such amazing art.
I am so sorry for your immeasurable loss. I lost my father 28 years ago when I was 9. I wish I could tell you the pain completely subsides, but it will stay with you throughout your life and in time you will find some solace with fewer and fewer days of complete devastation. Eventually you will get to a point where you can think and talk about your father without feeling like you want to break down and cry. The grief will get better.
Wow I truly hit the jackpot when I found Patrick Droney’s music . Everything about this song, is pure art, poetry. And yes, I will be having this on repeat for every occasion. A rainy day, a car ride, or even to brush my teeth in the morning.
I have it on repeat when I'm in the shower lol...I never even get 5 minutes to myself as my life is today so I have to find a way to grieve in private. I lost the canine love of my life over a year & a half ago 💔 so this song & the shower is when & how I grieve. Can't wait to be with her again one day 🐕 ❤️ ✝️ 🙏
This song is beautiful and heartbreaking. It’s also absolutely perfect. My first daughter was stillborn at 36 weeks.. it’s been a hell of a three years without her. But she sends me sparkles, large flake sparkles. The bath tub, her little sisters cheek in the morning, a chair at work. There is glitter from my sweet Lyra. I found this song around her 2nd birthday when I was really struggling and it felt like another wink from her. 💕✨
Lost our son through Covid and your song has touched our hearts! Done more than words, food, cards, flowers and Tears.... Thank you so so much Patrick Lindsey
I am so sorry about your son. It’s amazing how great music can soothe our soul. I came here from hearing about this song from Chynna Phillips recent YT channel post. It is a gorgeous, gorgeous song! I had not heard of this song or the artist but I am glad I know now! I’m a big fan. He is awesome🥰
“Some people leave early... and others get to stay.” I lost my dad 10 years ago to a brain tumor and can’t even begin to describe how heartbreakingly beautiful this song is. Thank you for creating it and sharing with all of us. 🤍
We need a repeat on RU-vid.... my best friend since I was 13(28 almost 29 now) just passed.. overdosed... do not judge. I'm a recovering addict... he just couldn't find the light in the darkness as I was able to... this song couldn't have entered my life at abmore perfect time. I'll always love you Anthony Michael pinkstock, than I could ever let be known.
Sorry for your loss, my brother died of addiction. No one grows up wanting to be an addict. Either they fall in with the wrong crowd at a vulnerable time, or they’re trying to use substances to escape some kind of pain within themselves. I’m sorry for your loss, he was lucky to have someone who will love and miss him.
I never knew I’d truly need this song. I found it on Spotify and mindlessly added it to my likes. Not even a week later, my sweet love, Noah, passed away tragically and unexpectedly. He was only 21. Plus I’m pregnant with our child. I can’t express this grief as it’s unique and soul crushing. This song describes everything perfectly. I’m hoping one day I won’t cry every day or be so angry.
God will help you and give you strength. He sends this cross for us to carry, and He will help. My grandma passed away from Covid 2 weeks. Grief it comes in waves, sometimes it's ebbing, sometimes it's flowing, other times it comes crashing on us like a wave. But we have to learn to swim in it. May God be with you and your baby. He knows what he is doing. Someday we will know why, but for now let us treasure all the Memoires we have. ❤️
Patrick, man... the emotion in our voice, the writing abilities you posses. You can tell some incredible stories through song. Take your experiences. People. Love. Loss. Write it. Tell us that story. Inject it into my bloodstream.
Hello. I’m here to express complete gratitude for this song. I don’t normally comment on videos like this, but I wanted to make him aware that I am truly moved by this song. Through the stresses of COVID, the grief of my deceased grandfather, the loss of close friendships that I had had for over 5 years, and some of the personal stuff that I had been doing, I didn’t realize the power behind this song. It’s one of the songs that have lots of power and emotion tucked behind it. However, that emotion is only experienced when you are in a state of grief or sadness, which I think is amazing. The song calms me, puts he to sleep, and I can listen to it for hours on end. It’s such a powerful song, with one of the strongest messages I’ve seen in awhile on this platform. It really goes to show that a little love can go a long way. We truly aren’t losing someone if the love is still existant. The song truly is a work of art, and contains a golden message. I thank you, Patrick. This is truly an amazing song that you’ve made. I hope everyone gets through the tough times without issues. Our world needs some love towards everyone sometimes. Love to all, 🤍🤍
I discovered this song on Spotify. I’ve lost so many loved ones over the years... 3 best friends, two moms, my soulmate, and nearly a dozen close friends and family. And I’m only 32. This song is beautiful and heartbreaking and reassuring and soothing all at the same time. “Some people leave early and others get to stay.” So fitting. Thank you for this! ❤️
Lost my husband at Christmas to a heart attack 4.5 years ago at just 28. My grandmother a year later suddenly to a stroke at just 63 and my dad a year ago to CHF at 51. This song perfectly captures the weight of grief and all its many ups and downs. 💔 They all left me way too soon but I'm thankful I was with each of them as they transitioned into the next life.
I survived cancer in March 2019 and turned around and lost my Mom to cancer in March 2021. This song is beautiful and definitely touches the heart. Thank you for your beautiful music.
This song hit me from all angles. No matter if it’s lost love, loss of people or loss of what I thought life should have turned out to be, these words rang through me like an old fashioned phone waiting for the receiver to be picked up. Wow! Very powerful, but did ironically bring me an inner peace to be reminded we all feel the Glitter through life. Thank you for the amazing tune!!
My dad passed away on October 31st, 2021. It’s not been easy to deal with especially as I found out i’m expecting a boy, my first, In august. I’m 19 and it’s not fair to lose someone so close or a parent at a young age. I was shown this song and every since then it’s what’s got me through each and every hard day. some are okay, other are just difficult to get through. My dad was pretty much my rock when it came to me feeling like giving up. He was so strong but couldn’t fight what he was going through. Heaven called him, even though he was only 42. I often get these rush of emotions realizing my dad won’t be able to walk me down the aisle or hold my baby boy. It would be his first grandbaby. I thank god for this song ❤️
This is wonderful!! I've had the privilege of knowing Patrick since he was a kid, jammed with him a few times, and hope that I helped him with a bit of a boost early in what was the start a long career. I haven't seen him in ages and wish him the absolute best!!!
I feel like this almost kills all bad things of 2020. 😭so much talent, so much beauty in 3.5 mins, songs like this is why music is the greatest thing on earth.
I heard Chynna Phillips praising this song so I had to check it out. She's right, it's beautiful:-) "Grief is like glitter" Is that sort of like turning water into wine:-) Sending some fairy dust sparkles to you for turning grief into glitter. We can all use some of that:-) ✨✨✨
I'm also here from Chynna's channel! This song is addictive - I can't stop listening to it. Just lost both my parents within one year. There's something warm & comforting in this song.
I just lost my uncle a couple days ago from covid, my 100 year old grandmother passed yesterday just 13 days before her 101st birthday, and both of my parents have covid. I'm searching through sd cards & memory drives for photos while listening to this song. Thank you 🥺
This song was posted a month to the day before my dad passed away. I'm only now hearing it today, which also marks 8 months without him. Beautiful song
My grandpa died two years ago from some sort of cancer, this song has helped me heal. Thank you for such amazing songs, and i hope soon i can get rid of my grief.
My dad passed away and within two years my mom passed away, 4 months later my only sibling was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. I’m learning to understand my biggest life events will go on without them present. My hearts breaks into a million pieces knowing they won’t be here with me, but I’m so excited to be able to tell my future children how absolutely amazing each of them was and how they loved them so much even without even knowing each other. But honestly, I’d give everything to have them here and tell them themselves, they deserve to feel the love they have given me my whole life. I will never be able to brush away the pain their lost has left on me, but their love is still something so beautiful that lives on.
I discovered Patrick recently and I can't get enough of this man, his voice, his words. He's a gift to the music world. I love everything about him. What a gem.
Some may judge and that's fine, but I am a young single mom of 2 as well as a recovering addict. This song hit me hard. I'm proud to say I am attending college this September for my degree in "Mental health and addictions". It's amazing I'm still here and I have found my purpose, and one day I can make my children proud of who I've become.
One day is a direct line to today. I’m proud of you and grateful this song found you. Your kids are going to have a beautiful life because of the work you’re putting in. Keep going.
I just lost one of the best friends I've had on the 22nd of this month. It has been incredibly hard. He was like a brother to me. My friend sent me this song, and now I can't stop sharing it with people. This song touched my heart so deeply, and I keep coming back to listen to it. It is absolutely helping me through my grief. Thank you to the artist for such a beautiful and powerful song.
I wish I had words… to say life is ok, this song touches the loss and gains I have. Love who have with all you have, it doesn’t last the way you think…
A dear friend shared this song with me tonight. I lost my only brother at the age of 22, 16 years ago. My mom ten years ago to cancer, and my dad one month ago today, to an accident. I feel so alone and too young to have so much loss and to not have any of my immediate family walking with me on this earth. It feels so unfair and I find myself trying to understand when I know that there are some things I may never comprehend. I am held together by my Heavenly Father and people He has sent along my path for such a time as this. Thank you for this song. It truly shows the mess that grief is but the beauty than can come from it if we choose to push on and see the light.
Beautifully said, Shelley. Grief is very messy, but we can grow around the hole/void; and then comes the beauty and as you say if "we choose to push on and see the light".
After my dad passed away, I tried so hard to find songs that I related to and this is it. Nothing else works, this describes my feelings perfectly. Thank you so much!!
In the past year I've lost my Dad, an aunt, and a cousin and this song is just a beautiful expression about loss. I think I've listened to it over and over about 20 times and still brings tears to my eyes.
I have listened to this song on repeat since losing our daughter at 17+3 gestation 20 months ago with no answers as to why. When the suffocation gets too much from the societal pressure to be okay - even the pressure I place on myself in an attempt to give my 3.5 the mom he deserves - this song helps me to breathe again. To cry, to feel the pain that is so tightly wound with my love for her, to being able to conceal it again in order to function. Thank you for sharing your heartache in such a beautiful manner. I can only imagine the pain you've experienced to inspire such a heartbreaking song. This has been the only piece I have been able to truly connect with. It honors my love for her but gives me the encouragement to keep pushing forward. That one day I'll be able to accept what we couldn't change.
Good grief this is best thing in music today. So meaningful, authentic, timeless message, and ministers to soul, enternal. I cant say enough about this music...its literally from heaven. Im serious God is good to use you all to touch hearts main we need this today. These messages and connections in physical with spirital Amen
Giving up sometimes just feels like my only choice after life just keeps walking over me..... but thank you for these amazing words!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grief is just like glitter. Miss you my grandpa.
I share this with as many people as I can. That feels like such a gift itself - to share this & allow the words to hold them too. Thank you, Patrick. This song truly connects the most human part of us.
This song 100% reflects my current state. True art speaks directly to the hearts that were dragged through loss regardless of its kind. Bless you for being able to create this song ❤️
I loss my Mille 1/24/2022. This was given to me by a grief counselor. So sad but so beautiful at the same time. Forever 40. I love you always Mille. Mommy. Thank you Patrick
My best friend's bday is tomorrow... He passed away in September of last year... This is the first birthday without him... I can't handle it.. I can still see him smile and hear his voice from across the school hallway... I can still remember the look in his eyes every time he saw me. The scent of his home.. how kind he was.. even to people who didn't deserve it.. he was a rare breed of man... Happy 21 birthday Xavier. I miss you so much... I miss your hugs.. the way you trusted me more than anyone in your life.. I still get the triple chocolate chip muffins all the time. And then green and blue chewy jolly ranchers... I can't go without you... My eyes burn from crying so hard. I need you back. I need your smile.. and I know if you saw me crying over you being gone it would hurt you.. but without you I can't be me.. please, wherever you are.. just don't forget me.. I love you Big X.. I always will.. one day I'll be in your arms again
I lost my husband of 14 years,July 2021 and 10 months later my dad passed away . This song is beautiful. Just tears all through it. Thank you for a beautiful sing ❤️
My dear friend Ric Parnell from “This Is Spinal Tap” fame and more died today and I’ve had this song on repeat. Ric was a legend in every way and I’m honoring him everywhere
I found this song a week ago and my dad passed away 4/7/20 and it tore me apart. I’m still grieving. This song is so helpful. I have had it on repeat literally every minute of the day.
Every note this man plays and every lyric he sings come together so magically to create a fully formed expression of emotions that resonate with me. Much love and appreciation to Patrick for what he’s created and shared with us. To anyone reading this comment, while listening to this song with a heavy heart - for me it’s the hope and gratitude that he expresses in the bridge that keeps me together. If you’re struggling - remember, you’re not alone but Patrick is wise: “…life’s a party - something you should celebrate…” 💚
I’m sorry you lost your grandpa. I lost grandpa too and my grandma....but it’s been 10 years now. You never really get over it. This song describes it perfectly! I hope you’re doing better.
@@makaylaprince2515 the days get a little easier, for sure...but the heartache never really goes away. I’m doing okay. Thank you so much for your kind message. BIG HUGS TO YOU!!! And I’m sorry for your great loss as well.
he always amazes me with his ability to write about something so simple yet so profound and touching also, his lyrics make me feel something i can never could find the words to define. i guess that's the power the music could have on people. thank you for making me appreciate the beauty of it. keep it up!
Thank you for releasing a song that put the depths of my despair into words. I am in a better place now but during that time I really needed this. And now when I feel the trauma sneaking in … I pull this song from my playlist and let the glitter fall.
Ya it got me crying to I couldn’t stop 😭😢 I like this song so much I found it on snapchat and I’m so excited that I found it on RU-vid👍👌 thxs for this song thank u 🙏
Wow. I am not surprised at how good this song is, because you are amazing and I love your music. Instant tears while taking a listen to this one for the first time. My grandfather passed away two years ago and the pain/loss still feels like yesterday. This song is absolutely beautiful and very relatable to anyone who has lost a loved one. Thank you for this ❤️
