This made me tear up. I know how hard being religious is and trying to be “perfect” to get to heaven. But your mom here is right, if heaven doesn’t let the people I love and know are good people in, I don’t want to go there either
I am ex Mormon a very high demand religion. I remember when my baby dued, and had to run around with a plastic smile on my face, pretending that everything is perfect.
As a mother to a boy toddler this made me sob, your momma LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING GIFT TO RECEIVE 😭💕💕💕 ugh the mom hormones im sorry 😅
David and his teams have written many excellent songs, but this one is the most significant so far. It will hit people in different ways depending on how they see the world. David wrote it from his perspective, but no one can see exactly what another sees. As a non-religious, non-queer person it hit me hard for totally different reasons, and I thank you for this moment of casting light into a dark world. The world is so much brighter with David in it.
This is beautiful. I'm so happy your mother supported you like that. Having left that same church I know how hard it is to leave and I wish I could get the same support from my family. Just this tiny clip made me cry because it's what I wish could be said to me but I fear will never happen.
You're alone brother, even though hard times happen, God will always be guiding you, he is in every good person and nice things, and all things are always for our benefit, let God be with you on yoir ride
Knowing the backstory to the song…it just makes it all that much more special. You have such an amazing talent, and such an amazing voice. That really is a beautiful song, and your friends’ reaction was pretty much my reaction. Through all the pain and sorrow you’ve made it this far, now go and show the world who is David Archuleta. Go and rock the house! I wish you nothing but the best, David. 😊👍🖖✌️
This is beautiful. I know if never get this from my parents, and it's so cathartic and beautiful to know David did get that with his mom. And this message is so beautiful.
David, this is God's love, and your mother and family of friends feel it deeply. Continue to open your heart to the love you receive and share it all through the gift God has given you through your voice and song. Standing with in Love.
You did it❤❤❤ and tell Moma Much Love cause she carried your heartbeat within her and still do. Other Mom shall follow. So many is on the same predicament. ❤❤❤❤ Chicago need to hear you please find a way to put it in your schedule please I want to be right there
I love you, your friends, family and anyone else who supports you, David. I honestly don't know if I will ever not tear up when I hear this song. It is so powerful. Thank you for sharing your journey, I'm right there with you! 🤗❤
Dave please do me a favor I'm begging you, I know you may think this is off the wall but put your headphones on and play a song by Black Sabbath called paranoid and that's me. I've been living with this song for decades and it has to do with exactly what you went through:-(
I think this song will help so many parents see the healthy and loving thing to do when a child comes out, or goes against anything that they once saw as the only “right” way to live. I love your mom for this, and it’s also what all moms should do! ❤❤❤
I absolutely LOVE the love, support and genuine reacrions of your sweet friends. Just as much, even more, I love the backstory of your Mom's unconditional love and support. This resonates deeper than I can ever say. Love you, David. You're such an amazing young man, and I'm so proud of you for accepting and loving yourself, embracing ALL of you. Thank you for being yourself, for using your talents, your amazing and beautiful voice, and your celebrity status to not only advocate for yourself but also for all others struggling with their identity, their sexuality, their faith or whatever. GOD AND JESUS IS/ARE LOVE, pure and unconditional. PERIOD.
You've got some great friends. I often wake up with this song in my head, and it's been in my head throughout many days since it came out. I haven't had to go through a faith crisis (thankfully), however, I've had a guy male cousin, and various friends lose their lives over it. I've watched and also been a listening ear for those who feel they can open up and discuss it. I'm grateful that many do feel comfortable. Every time I hear this song, I'm glad that David has made it out and that his mom chose love. *And I still got teary-eyed watching and listening to this. ❤
I just heard this song earlier today and I was like what the heck. But now that I saw this clip as to where the song came from, I get it. Awesome song!
I absolutely love this song! Wow, you have put words to the hope of many that have left the church, for various reasons. The LDS church preaches that "family is forever," as long as you do it the way they believe. I was a convert to the church and actually believed that I would be okay in heaven without them, because they weren't members. I believe differently now and I no longer believe in the tenants of the LDS church. So, I'll probably be there with you. 😉
You don’t have to go to hell! There’s a Savior who loves and cares for you so deeply and more than anyone else ever will! You need only trust in the fact that He died for you and has the power to take you to heaven one day because He can!!(john 3:16) God bless you🩵🩷🫶🏻
This one hit deep, absolutely beautiful. I love the message, I'm ex Mormon and pansexual. Coming out can be so scary especially when you are religious.
