When my wife was dying of cancer, I’d lay in bed and sing Stay Close to her. Less singing as it was begging her not to go. One lifetime is never enough…let alone the short 20 years I got to know the most beautiful girl that’s ever graced this planet. She left this earth on 5/20/23, and I still sing this song and cry. My heart died that day. No other song has touched me like this one.
2024 was the worst year of my life. I lost my mom June 25, 2024, then my 19 year old daughter and my only grandbaby age 3 months and 23 days on 10/15/24 in a car accident. I miss you, Journee Padgett, and Alanee Grace. Thank you, this song is beautiful.
May God love you up and give you peace that is so supernatural your Joy will be your new portion . I am so grievous seeing this and I want you to know I love you sis, even though I don’t know you . 🤍🗝️
This is the first time I've stumbled across this band, and want to keep it on replay. I actually feel like releasing this trapped grief properly, and finding hope, is so uplifting. Thank you.
Thank you for your beautiful music! I have no idea who you are or how you ended up in my TH-cam feed, but what a gift! It is Saturday January 25, 2025 and I have been doom scrolling all week, on the verge of absolute melt down (I can’t imagine why🤔), but your music has hit a reset button in my brain, it has overridden my need to “go there yet again,”(at least for the moment) I can’t wait to take you on a walk with me soon maybe even tomorrow if we are blessed with sunshine. A humble THANK YOU, and BLESS YOU, as I weep for our country.
Thank you for expressing very much what I’m also feeling and thinking. I was listening to a couple of interviews with people from the Boston ice-skating club, just heartbreaking, and TH-cam gave me this follow next up and it is exactly what I need to reset and remember the people who are hurting right now. It’s making me tear up, and that’s a good thing.
One of my very best friends died in a a car accident in September of 2009 my senior year on a Friday night after a football game. She was supposed to be with me and I lied about not going out so she went with some friends to go fishing. I showed up at the accident while they were still doing clean up that night haunts me to this day. I love you Amber. R.I.P. such a beautiful sweet young woman. I still miss you.
Dam your feeling of guilt hit me so hard from reading your comment. You have to find a way to let it go, have a conversation to her or pray and have a big cry about it But remember to let go Hope that helps ❤
she forgives you because there's nothing to forgive.🙌🫒🥀🕊️ and if it continues to hurt a lot consider finding an ADC/IADC practitioner that can help you have a conversation with her. it's based on EMDR and typically a client needs only 1 or 2 sessions. and the therapist guy who decided to trademark his IADC version said he didn't even need to know if it was real. that all that mattered was that it helps people like war veterans who have PTSD and guilt about someone who died and others who have lost loved ones for whom the pain and/or guilt has been unbearable. hope this helps!🙋🏾🙂
They say Sadness is the strongest feeling, i feel deep Sadness listening to his music but still mixed with love, aspirations, and tons of self reflection thoughts, this man is a Tressure ✨️ love and respect 🫡
@@mohannadhashim801 Time does not heal grief. When you grieve a close loved one, you learn this very quickly... I love your original comment - because it's so true - his music does something to the emotional core - there is a pulling of sorts.
Tears flowing… The dark comes for everything Inside the heart of everyone There lives infinity… Thank you for this incredible beauty of words and music 🕊️ 💖✨
Wow just discovered SYML for the first time. This was playing as a suggested video. As soon as Stay Close came on I had to stop working. I am fully a fan now, amazing.
2 negatives make a positive, knowing we are not alone...being transparent and real especially through music, I'm forever grateful for anyone that can express beauty through ashes!
Well it's never too late to be introduced to new music. SMYL showed up at random tonight on TH-cam. This is so delightful. Glad to hear your music, I need calm tonight, and here it is. Thank you
Same!! I hadn’t ever heard of him or any of his music..this just happened to be on my TH-cam feed & I felt drawn to it for whatever reason. I’m glad I took a chance & checked it out.
This hour of listening was everything I didn't even know I needed right now. To have been able to be there and hear it in person in the stillness of that sanctuary would be profound.
Quel bonheur d'avoir rencontré ce garçon au hasard de mes recherches... à 55 ans je découvrais Archive, à 60, Heavn, à 65 RY X et SYML. Mon coeur et mes oreilles sont comblés.
We were at this show, among others of yours.. and we are just as in love with your music as we were years ago. More, actually. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us, we are so grateful! 🫶🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for Blessing Us, the Beauty &❤ in Your Music, Transcends and Evokes EveryCell, Soothe One’s Soul a Place Where One’s Heart Collides with Another…1000% ❤Felt down to The Bone…Your Music Conveys what Many are Unable to Articulate- Our Greatest Purpose in Life, is Connection, Our Gift to LOVE…It’s Beautiful
Been listening to the album on Tidal nonstop and this is such a great surprise. Discovered SYML's Where's My Love through an indie playlist and so many more tracks blew me away with his vocal ability, not to mention somgwriting talent. Fear of the Water is easily one of my most favorite tracks. Brian, thank you for sharing your (back)story. The cathedral and musicians also made this album extraordinarily sublime.
Looking forward to this. You have yet to write a song I don't like. Only one other band has done the same for me and that's the Beatles. Really appreciate you and your music. 🤟🏼😎
My daughter and I just saw you in Seattle with the Symphony! LOVE your beautiful, dreamy, calming music! It dives deep into the soul and resides there! What a gift this New Year’s Day! Thank you, SYML! All the best to you in 2025!
The comments reminds me that people give themselves permission to “feel” music. Many need to reach to express pain that rides just below the surface. While I understand and sympathize with these comments there is, for me, a gentleness.
I recently discovered your music and I am surprised how I never came across your channel till now. Definitely more viewers need to find you. Great music :)
WOW, this song feels like Matt wrote it for me! I love his voice, he's authentic, natural story teller. I'm so grateful for you sharing your story with us. So relatible, and humble. I looking forward to hearing more ❤❤❤❤
I love this music so much. I’m not disappointed I only found SYML a few months ago, I’m just delighted I have found them. Once London venue is announced I will be travelling down from Scotland ❤️
Thank you SYML for sharing your beautiful music with the world. I'm a fan of many years, and yet, as I listen, your lyrics, melody and piercingly blissful voice vibrates within as if it were the first time I found you. In a world of choppy surface waters, you remind us of what it means to be human at the deepest core of our souls. Thank you,
What a truly beautiful voice sooo authentic yet rare to hear someone like you and your music you lift up our Hearts thank you sending many Bkessing from U K 💕🙏🏽💫🦄
Such sadness imbued wth glorious melodious uplifting tones an incredible voice and masterfully played music thnk you to all of you for your talent and sharing it with us all. Love light and peace may it dwelll in all your hearts play on loud and on purpose ❤God bless ya
Have seen you twice (one in a church in NY). Love, love, love your music. And your live performances are just breathtaking. At the later show, “Sweet Home” was a new song to me…brought tears to my eyes.
OH MY GOD!!! Everything all at once is absolutely the most beautiful song I’ve heard and I just love blasting it in my car and singing along. THIS IS WHAT MUSIC SHOULD BE! And you deserve so much more attention. The successful artists that are recognized and praised right now can’t even come close to touching you! ❤️💯

I cannot imagine only 20 years. I hope you continue to have a wonderful life and remember all the happy times you were able to cherish with your wife.

Just now discovering you, it's midnight and your music hits all the feels.

“Trapped grief…” Thank you for identifying that feeling.
@@aliceryan6015 Bird in a cage in your heart. Be good to you.

No, fear is the strongest emotion. It’s that way for survival purposes. I would also say grief is stronger than sadness.
@devinredmond1121 I agree that grief is a long-lasting feeling that only time can heal. You're right.

My darling eldest Daughter died and I feel lost without her at times. My heart goes out to a broken society😢
Stunning album! I love going on long country drives and listening to this album on repeat. A true artist ❤❤❤
Why haven’t i ever heard this before?? Omg. I’m being taken to a place i can’t explain. What a voice. What a talented group of people.
Tears flowing…
The dark comes for everything
Inside the heart of everyone
There lives infinity…
Thank you for this incredible beauty of words and music 🕊️ 💖✨

‘Beauty through ashes’… I love that expression as those of us who have experienced deep loss and grieve our beloveds, are always searching…😢
I don’t need therapy. I need this.
I agree. Omg.
Gorgeous music is more precious than any therapy❤
Well it's never too late to be introduced to new music. SMYL showed up at random tonight on TH-cam. This is so delightful. Glad to hear your music, I need calm tonight, and here it is. Thank you
So talented. I know your channel has millions of views but, in light of your talent, i would still consider this severely underrated. Just amazing
I just discovered this performance on TH-cam. I didn't know of you, and your band. How very beautiful and moving. Thank you for sharing your gift.

This is a new find for me, a darker sound than I do, but the musicianship and acoustic-like feel kept me listening ‘til the end🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Listened waiting in ICU for good news that just came. I found solace in an ICU, that’s powerful healing art through stories and music 🎶
