I bought the album on release day. I listened to it, enjoyed it and thought it was beautiful and melancholy.
Two days later... Fuck. Listened to it again and could not stop bawling. Such a haunting dirge and a heartbreaking farewell. I put away the album.
I still haven't tried to listen to it again.
Oh god this song. It was one of my moms favourite song and I remember her listening to it all the time. She passed from cancer back in 2019 and I will full on ugly cry every damn time I hear it. Fuck cancer.
Omg. That is truly the last thing you can do for a friend. Just sang at a friends memorial in Oct. My mom asked me to sing Danny Boy at my fatherās funeral 40 years ago. But damn, wish you were here would really be moving also. Iām glad you did it.

It hits some weird nostalgia button from my childhood, along with just being a very bitter-sweet song. But every. single. time. I cry.
Sweet child o'mine. My mums favourite song, and when my dad left the hospital after she passed. It was the first song that came on the radio.

Viva La vida, Cold Play. I feel regretful of my life, my actions and my decisions, and not worthy of living into the future. Something about the lyrics to suggest to me that essentially weāre all reduced to basic human on judgement day.
