@yourstorytime2887 this is very true. Anything can happen to anyone at any time. My ex fiancés best friend died by suicide when he was 20. It made me realize that no one is promised tomorrow and what’s going to happen is going to happen. We can try to plan for the future but we should definitely feel the goodness in the present moments. You never know when those will become your most cherished memories. I’m grateful for the people I’ve been able to connect with since he passed, including his mom who I’ve become close to. I’m hopeful I can help people and give them hope that in some ways it does get better. As grateful as I am for that, I’d have him back in a heartbeat of if I could.
Everyone has a fight song I think. For my mom, it was “don’t give up on me”. She battled cancer for 16 years and just recently, after we found out it had metastasized to her brain, things went downhill very fast. When she heard this song she fell in love with it and when I finally really listened to the words, I realized why it meant so much to her. She wasn’t giving up quite yet, even if it was down to her last breathe, so I wasn’t gonna give up on her. I was holding my moms hand when she took her last breath a week ago and she passed away peacefully with her family around her. While my mom was still alive, I’d play Andy for her and would sit and listen with her. That’s when I heard “I wish you pain”. The song didn’t make sense until after my mom passed away and I listened to it again, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like my mom, or fate, or God left me with a final message, a way to understand that the pain I was feeling I needed to embrace and let it help me grow stronger. So now, every time I hear this song, tears begin to fill my eyes, but I take a breathe and embrace the pain and know I’m gonna come out of this stronger than I was before and know that the pain is because of how much I loved her and how much she meant to me…and all the memories that are sad right now will be beautiful reminders of what a great person she was. So, Anyone out there going through what I am, even though it might sound strange, I wish you pain…
Love and blessings for you and your family. Don't feel sad my friend. Everything happens for a reason. Be brave and happy. Because life is shorter than we think. Always be grateful and count your own blessings. Cheers...
I lost my grandmother last year and then I found "She'd Say". It was something that I knew she sent for me somehow. I thank you Andy for being a light in this dark tunnel. Your music just speaks to me and it makes me think about the good times with her. Thank you.
I lost my Nonna as I was born my farther always said If she saw me grow up I would've been the golden apple Too sad now to never of met her for me to be old enough to remember. I lost my uncle to suicide 18th of April that just went by he would be 30 the other month I loved him so much and it brings me to tears when I talk about him but I know it's good to cry and let go. . 🙏
I feel like a disgrace. I failed to graduate in law school twice and failed my mom. I am just glad I was blessed with parents who understands me and having struggles with my study despite being well provided. This song hits me hard and I am fighting. Thank you so much sir.

Couldn't agree more!!! I LOVE how this man writes! He is SO real and his songs have deep meaning. Plus he's really got a distinct sound. Surprised he's not hyped up like some of the others on the radio.
I agree!! He has so many view like millions! But he only has thousands following him!! I was here when he came out with “biggest man in LA” that song is soooo undereated!
❤️🌍”The more difficulties one sees in the world the more perfect one becomes. The more you plough and dig the ground the more fertile it becomes. The more you cut the branches of a tree the higher and stronger it grows. The more you put the gold in the fire the purer it becomes. The more you sharpen the steel by grinding the better it cuts. Therefore, the more sorrows one sees the more perfect one becomes… The more often the captain of a ship is in the tempest and difficult sailing the greater his knowledge becomes. Therefore I am happy that you have had great tribulations and difficulties… Strange it is that I love you and still I am happy that you have sorrows.” - Abdu’l-Baha
This song has so much meaning to me now. A year ago I was involved in an accident that took my life and I was brought back. I suffered from severed nerves and not being able to walk. My birthday was spent having reconstruction on my legs, I was in a dark place. I wanted to die, for the pain to stop. I held to proving to my 3 yo daughter that I could chase her around again and play. Months and months of therapy went by, tears and prayers every night. I took my first step in front of my daughter 6 months after the accident and since seeing her excitement in have made a almost full recovery. I appreciate and love life more now then ever before. Thank you Andy Grammer for making such a beautiful song!
Aaron you are a blessing to the world! "To attain eternal happiness one must suffer. He who has reached the state of self-sacrifice has true joy. Temporal joy will vanish." ~ Bahá’í Faith ❤️❤️
Man, I know how that feels. I had a car accident 1 year ago and almost 3 sessions of physio per week since then. Still recovering, but the pain is still there, so I can imagine how it it for you. God bless you and give you strength Aaron!
When I first saw the title of the song, it confused me. I didn't expect Andy to write a song wishing people the worst. I listened to the song, but didn't really pay attention as I was just reading the stories. The second time, I was studying and I actually listened to him. I nearly broke out in tears. There was so much sadness and hopefulness in his voice, that you could tell he knew what he was singing. Love your music Andy Grammer. Thank you so much for helping me when I was at my lowest. I owe you eternally. Thank you.
We interviewed this beautiful man when he found his first hit with "Keep Your Head Up." It makes me so happy to see that not only is Andy still the owner of a pure and generous soul, but that his heart and creativity keeps expanding. Good guys DO finish first. Love your guts, brother.
Lyrics: I hope your doubts come like monsters And terrorize your dreams I hope you feel the lonely hopelessness 'Cause no one else believes I hope you question whether you ever really had a chance at all I hope your fear is thick like poison It gets into your blood I hope you push until you cannot breathe And it's still not enough I hope you put your life out on the line And everybody watches while you fall 'Cause I love you more than you could know And your heart, it grows every time it breaks I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain Wish you pain It's hard to say But I wish you pain I hope people break their promises Leave you in the cold I hope they beat your heart to pieces Worse than you've ever known I hope you finally arrive, only to find you're nowhere close
I hope you cry and tears come streaming down your face I hope this life traps you in more than you thought you could ever take I hope the help you want never comes And you do it on your own 'Cause I love you more than you could know And your heart, it grows every time it breaks I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain Wish you pain It's hard to say But I wish you pain I love you more than you could even know Been here before and I just wanna see you grow Want you to grow 'Cause everything that matters most I swear it goes by a different name I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain I wish you pain It's hard to say Wish you pain I love you more than you could even know I've been here before and I just wanna see you grow Want you to grow
I raised four sons, 22-17, on my own, just on the cusp of becoming men and when I shared this with them we all cried because we've been thru so much already. I told them in so proud because I know know matter where they go they are kind hearted, good young men who make me proud to be their mother every single day!
Andy always keeps upto his marks ❣️ It hit me so hard, my granny just passed away last year and now I only have father and my siblings, and my father also has some conditions to his health and it gives us fear and pain and makes us live every second fully with him ❣️ Yes it's hard to say It's hard to accept But I wish you and me pain 🥺😭❣️
The song reminds me of this verse. Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. This encourage me to grow and be strong no matter how many times things around you fall. Glad to find this song.🙂 Thanks Andy Grammer.
Didn't realize how much I needs this song. Pain through healing. None of us would be on the path we are if we didnt go through our trials. Pain is always going to be there in any shape
What makes Andy an amazing artist is that in this world of music where everyone gets their spotlight, Andy is giving his spotlight to others and making them feel heard.
My mom has covid and water in her lungs. My brother just got called to the hospital and I don't know if it's a good is a bad thing. Mom, please don't die! I need you, I'm only 18, I can't take care of dad alone.
Bullying was my life for thirteen years. My mom's passing was the start of it when the bullies realized I had become an angry child. It evolved to be many devastating years for me with self-harm, substance abuse and attempts to leave the world. Only now, I've finally started to come to terms with life and my emotions and what they did to me. People tell me to forgive the persons who hurt me. I can't do that. But this song has given me something to think about. I can't forgive you who hurt me. But I wish you pain so you can learn to live and love and be good people. As for me, I keep fighting. I'm done being the victim - I am now a survivor.
I have an 11 year old daughter and this song hurts so bad to listen to because it’s what you hope for your kids: growth, learning, trusting yourself, never giving up, and LOVE! 😭😭😭😭😭
My natural dad was an acholic and he was like always sauced, he was there, never present in this dimension. i told him about Jesus, i hope he heard. John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. God Himself raised me as an orphan has been my Father and the Holy Ghost my mother and Jesus my older brother. Amen
I write songs, too. Takes big loads of courage, wisdom, and self knowledge to write a classic like you did with this one, little brother. Bravo. Abdul-Baha...Tribulation is the quintessence of mercy.
This song hit me like a truck while driving home from school today, I cried so hard in my car 😭...I've went through so much pain in the last couple years, one of the worse of these hurtful experiences has been having my best friend cut the ties of our friendship almost 3 years ago after over 25 years of friendship over a disagreement about her reconnecting with her ex and seeing her turn into a stranger. ... I don't know what I am supposed to learn from this but, one thing I know, things aren't the same anymore since she stopped being my friend.
Gage, thank you for being a beautiful human being “Men who suffer not, attain no perfection. The plant most pruned by the gardeners is that one which, when the summer comes, will have the most beautiful blossoms and the most abundant fruit. The labourer cuts up the earth with his plough, and from that earth comes the rich and plentiful harvest. The more a man is chastened, the greater is the harvest of spiritual virtues shown forth by him. A soldier is no good General until he has been in the front of the fiercest battle and has received the deepest wounds."_ -‘Abdu’l‑Bahá, -Writings from the Bahá’í Faith
To all in this video. I send you loving hugs. I lost my elder son in 2007. He would be 45 years old next Saturday - September 14th. I manage the pain of loss most of the time. Thank you for reading my short comment.
Oh my dear, I found out my (now dead ex-) husband was orally raping my 3 and 4-year olds. I died inside. 40 years later, after so much therapy, so many bad times, so very much pain, I am able to help others who are in similar situations. I know the pain, I know the shame, I know the horror, and I have been able to soar above it and advocate for those who can't yet. That pain has made me a better person. Thank you for this amazing, incredible song that celebrates our spirit.
What a light and inspiration. It was a true gift stumbling across this after stumbling across the podcast, after 5 ft. apart, etc. I guess one could say it was a two year stumble that brought me here. Gladly...I wouldn't have been ready for this experience prior to that. I have been beaten and abused since I was 2 years old. I was nearly killed by my father at that time. I have no idea why. I have been in therapy most of my adult life, then finally had a nervous breakdown 5 years ago when my brain just couldn't take anymore. I've used the last 5 years to focus on healing my mind and spirit. I now help others realize that mental health isn't a death sentence. It's a starting point. You can grow from those dark points by searching for the light to find your way out. You can create Anchors to help you along the way. Positive things you reach for at certain low points. My sister when I need sympathy, my brother when I need someone to be stern with me, music when I need to tame the anxiety, etc. Thank you for this song at this time. Thank you for being true to yourself.
I tried taking my life a few weeks ago but I realized i have people and loved ones to live for. I made a plan for when I feel that way again to talk to someone Your song 'keep your head up' is one i go to when I feel like giving up. Music is therapeutic and heals your soul
After 9 months of fighting unknown health problems- I was finally diagnosed with severe PotS. I'm currently on medication that only helped a day and if the 2nd type of medication doesn't work I need to see a specialist ^-^ I'm usually in pain all over almost 24 7 and can barely walk or get out of bed sometimes. But I know God has a plan for me and I'm now starting to see it. So for all those people who think they are alone- your not-! It may feel like that...but things will get better. Sometimes heartache is the gift we need to learn to grow ^-^
Andy is one of the most underrated artists of our generation. Can’t stress how much joy i get just by listening to his songs. Glad to be alive right about now😩❤️
My son & I were late to the meet & greet @ House of Blues San Diego. After playing an incredible show. You/Andy took the time afterwards for a pic.. This song, as well as so many others means so much to so many 💜
I saw you love almost a year ago and Wish You Pain was probably the song I kept crying at. Still my favorite song of the album and my number 2 favorite song over all. You are a gift to this world Andy. Thank you so much!!
Love the music . was introduced to the wonderful music by a wonderful man that I love very much. Keep the beautiful wonderful music coming Andy. Love every minute of it.
Andy Grammer, you are a hero among the simple ones. We don't ask for much, however, your acknowledgement to everyones daily struggles that seems to only burn down our happiness and personal life is what brings us closer to humanity and understanding. God Bless You
I was blessed to see you live in Richmond, Va! Loved this song! But man, there's so much more 'different' pain in our lives now. This song and lyrics hits me in a whole new level! Thank you for the love! We all need to hear it!
This exactly what I feel since December 19 where my sister died from cancer. She was just 25. Nobidy understood my pain and I am still not feeling better. I feel left alone by God. People made false promises that God will heal her but he didn't. He let her go through a year of intense pain. I still haven't forgiven him and I don't know if I ever will. It made the perfect picture of God break and I hope people realise that he isn't always 'good'.
This guy makes amazing sense every single time I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to play such realness in a world that's so full of difference ✊🦁👍
Gosh i'm tearing a lot just listening this song on the bed while thinking about the pain in my life make me realize, as long as l live today and look back then l realize that l did it going through all this things even sometime what we planned not going so well but failure make us to be a better person. l managed all the pain and there's too much mixed feeling rn. l'm feeling so thankful, grateful and congrats for everything l have now and i did it! :') too many things i want to tell but this is all l can say :)
This song, is right. You don't learn from being happy but the storm of pain. This is my fight song to keep moving forward and to reach what I want, although I'm the only one getting in my way.
I listen to this song and wonder who offered this prayer for me, because yo! Man I am dealing with the worst kind of emotions right now.... Fear, loneliness and very dark present that the future doesn't seem to have light too. Just one break would mean the world
without the context this song sounds super harsh but once you get the context and the story behind it, it's a beautiful heart warming and emotianal song
Being at this VIP M&G was so inspiring...the stories of survival had me in years and I was so moved by how Andy truly listened to each a s every person who chose to share. Beautiful.
Head up Class all The way not just an artist a humanitarian. This is a Blessing to see when just "one" person smile, hugs, waves, listens it in fact makes a difference. Head up remember to live every moment, as I Thank God first thing when my eyes open each New morning. For with Him I am never alone!
You are a phenomenal performer. I absolutely love this song. Touches my heart in so many ways. Thank you for you love, compassion and beautiful energy ❤ 💕 💜 💖
_In a world of trends, Andy has always stayed a classic_
Say it louder for the people in the back!

ANDY REMEMBER THE TIME WE WENT TO SOUTH ELGIN SCHOOL AND WE SANG THAT SONG?
Lyrics:
I hope your doubts come like monsters
And terrorize your dreams
I hope you feel the lonely hopelessness
'Cause no one else believes
I hope you question whether you ever really had a chance at all
I hope your fear is thick like poison
It gets into your blood
I hope you push until you cannot breathe
And it's still not enough
I hope you put your life out on the line
And everybody watches while you fall
'Cause I love you more than you could know
And your heart, it grows every time it breaks
I know that it might sound strange
But I wish you pain
Wish you pain
It's hard to say
But I wish you pain
I hope people break their promises
Leave you in the cold
I hope they beat your heart to pieces
Worse than you've ever known
I hope you finally arrive, only to find you're nowhere close
I hope you cry and tears come streaming down your face
I hope this life traps you in more than you thought you could ever take
I hope the help you want never comes
And you do it on your own
'Cause I love you more than you could know
And your heart, it grows every time it breaks
I know that it might sound strange
But I wish you pain
Wish you pain
It's hard to say
But I wish you pain
I love you more than you could even know
Been here before and I just wanna see you grow
Want you to grow
'Cause everything that matters most
I swear it goes by a different name
I know that it might sound strange
But I wish you pain
I wish you pain
It's hard to say
Wish you pain
I love you more than you could even know
I've been here before and I just wanna see you grow
Want you to grow
I wish you peace.

This song hit me like a truck while driving home from school today, I cried so hard in my car 😭...I've went through so much pain in the last couple years, one of the worse of these hurtful experiences has been having my best friend cut the ties of our friendship almost 3 years ago after over 25 years of friendship over a disagreement about her reconnecting with her ex and seeing her turn into a stranger.
... I don't know what I am supposed to learn from this but, one thing I know, things aren't the same anymore since she stopped being my friend.
I loved ur song Andy
I wish i had gotten a opportunity to tell u my pain too
Thanks man
Rocking those jackets Andy .... denim dreams of a better humanity
This guys writes such amazing ,positive ,wonderful and uplifting songs!!! I wish that lots of other singers would think like Andy grammer
After being through the worst imaginable pain, I can understand and appreciate this song! Thank you and God bless you too! 🙏
Watching this music video, I was all teary-eyed. Thank you for this, Andy!
This is one of my favorite songs that Andy has ever put out, and the video is so sad but beautiful
He puts the fruits of the Spirit on his jean jackets 🙌👏well done Sir
This song brings me so much joy. I get this as a veteran suffering with everyone else out here. I love you for all that I am
Gage, thank you for being a beautiful human being “Men who suffer not, attain no perfection. The plant most pruned by the gardeners is that one which, when the summer comes, will have the most beautiful blossoms and the most abundant fruit. The labourer cuts up the earth with his plough, and from that earth comes the rich and plentiful harvest. The more a man is chastened, the greater is the harvest of spiritual virtues shown forth by him. A soldier is no good General until he has been in the front of the fiercest battle and has received the deepest wounds."_ -‘Abdu’l‑Bahá, -Writings from the Bahá’í Faith
Andy, you heal many in this pandemic situation and you are lighting many souls, love always❤❤
To all in this video. I send you loving hugs.
I lost my elder son in 2007. He would be 45 years old next Saturday - September 14th.
I manage the pain of loss most of the time.
Thank you for reading my short comment.
I love to listen to you every day and night right now
Oh my dear, I found out my (now dead ex-) husband was orally raping my 3 and 4-year olds. I died inside. 40 years later, after so much therapy, so many bad times, so very much pain, I am able to help others who are in similar situations. I know the pain, I know the shame, I know the horror, and I have been able to soar above it and advocate for those who can't yet. That pain has made me a better person. Thank you for this amazing, incredible song that celebrates our spirit.
What a light and inspiration. It was a true gift stumbling across this after stumbling across the podcast, after 5 ft. apart, etc. I guess one could say it was a two year stumble that brought me here. Gladly...I wouldn't have been ready for this experience prior to that. I have been beaten and abused since I was 2 years old. I was nearly killed by my father at that time. I have no idea why. I have been in therapy most of my adult life, then finally had a nervous breakdown 5 years ago when my brain just couldn't take anymore. I've used the last 5 years to focus on healing my mind and spirit. I now help others realize that mental health isn't a death sentence. It's a starting point. You can grow from those dark points by searching for the light to find your way out. You can create Anchors to help you along the way. Positive things you reach for at certain low points. My sister when I need sympathy, my brother when I need someone to be stern with me, music when I need to tame the anxiety, etc. Thank you for this song at this time. Thank you for being true to yourself.
I only just discovered his music and I am touched to the core. Thank you Andy, for real 🙏
Just grow and shine bright...
The most emotional Singer. Greatings from Poland ! You'r music Vive me Hope, give me soo much. Thank You ❤️
I tried taking my life a few weeks ago but I realized i have people and loved ones to live for. I made a plan for when I feel that way again to talk to someone
Your song 'keep your head up' is one i go to when I feel like giving up. Music is therapeutic and heals your soul
Thank andy. You Inspire me to help and give to as many people I can before my time is over.
Thankyou and God bless you amazing human
i really like his music and he wrote it i think not like a group think, this music is real something from the heart. issues of the heart
After 9 months of fighting unknown health problems- I was finally diagnosed with severe PotS. I'm currently on medication that only helped a day and if the 2nd type of medication doesn't work I need to see a specialist ^-^
I'm usually in pain all over almost 24 7 and can barely walk or get out of bed sometimes. But I know God has a plan for me and I'm now starting to see it. So for all those people who think they are alone- your not-! It may feel like that...but things will get better.
Sometimes heartache is the gift we need to learn to grow ^-^
OMG ANDY GRAMMER , I LOVE THIS NEW SONG !
Andy is one of the most underrated artists of our generation. Can’t stress how much joy i get just by listening to his songs. Glad to be alive right about now😩❤️
This guy is 💜
Thank you, Andy for your beautiful heart! Momma Cathy taught you well❤
My son & I were late to the meet & greet @ House of Blues San Diego. After playing an incredible show. You/Andy took the time afterwards for a pic.. This song, as well as so many others means so much to so many 💜
I love Andy grammer and his music their should be a song with Dan stevens and Andy grammer! ❤️
Keep making music that touches our souls. Your music is a gift to the world 🌎
Yes Andy....it's hard to say.
Very underrated, if you show the truth nowadays you are an outlaw.
I saw you love almost a year ago and Wish You Pain was probably the song I kept crying at. Still my favorite song of the album and my number 2 favorite song over all. You are a gift to this world Andy. Thank you so much!!
I played this video during a devotional on the purpose of tests and difficulties
I have been having a really tough time this year, this song gave me hope.
Big fan here😍
Only through going through a rough time and facing it head on do we grow in strength. Thank-you Andy. 💖
This song is the definition of tough love❤
Had the pleasure of going to school with him. Played trumpet with him in band, I knew he'd be something special. Kindest person ever.
Andy grammer is such a huge teddy bear! The world needs more people like him... Stay gold.
My parents are devorcid and sometimes I fell like pepole forget about me but when I listen to Andy ny worrys always go away
Stay strong my dear ❤
You aren't forgotten. We are your friends
My mates 10 year old son visited my home and asked for Andy Grammer on TH-cam, I’m glad he did excellent songs Andy
Love the music . was introduced to the wonderful music by a wonderful man that I love very much. Keep the beautiful wonderful music coming Andy. Love every minute of it.
Andy Grammer, you are a hero among the simple ones. We don't ask for much, however, your acknowledgement to everyones daily struggles that seems to only burn down our happiness and personal life is what brings us closer to humanity and understanding.
God Bless You
Such an inspirational song. Hey Andy, I wish you pain, I love you so!
I was blessed to see you live in Richmond, Va! Loved this song! But man, there's so much more 'different' pain in our lives now. This song and lyrics hits me in a whole new level! Thank you for the love! We all need to hear it!
This man will show you what life is about whether you realize it now or not. He is full of love and the best of life. You have saved my life Andy.
This exactly what I feel since December 19 where my sister died from cancer. She was just 25. Nobidy understood my pain and I am still not feeling better. I feel left alone by God. People made false promises that God will heal her but he didn't. He let her go through a year of intense pain. I still haven't forgiven him and I don't know if I ever will. It made the perfect picture of God break and I hope people realise that he isn't always 'good'.
This guy makes amazing sense every single time I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to play such realness in a world that's so full of difference ✊🦁👍
I guess it's that old saying "Whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger"
What a tune, thank you! 💗
Gosh i'm tearing a lot just listening this song on the bed while thinking about the pain in my life make me realize, as long as l live today and look back then l realize that l did it going through all this things even sometime what we planned not going so well but failure make us to be a better person. l managed all the pain and there's too much mixed feeling rn. l'm feeling so thankful, grateful and congrats for everything l have now and i did it! :') too many things i want to tell but this is all l can say :)
This song, is right. You don't learn from being happy but the storm of pain.
This is my fight song to keep moving forward and to reach what I want, although I'm the only one getting in my way.
I wish us pain,I wish us healing,I wish us growth ❣️
I love you too, Andy. You are living God’s plan for your life. Keep on, keeping on!
He is such a light to the world. 💡💛🤍
Started to like all of his songs. It has unique message or should i say heartfelt songs💜💕💞
Beautiful message, made me think about many things I've overcome. You are special.
Andy Grammer is my hero! His music and the energy that he puts into every song has helped me through a lot in my life.
I posted here 2 months ago, still in pain, still struggling, still loving every second of life. Andy you are an inspiration, please never stop!
I listen to this song and wonder who offered this prayer for me, because yo! Man I am dealing with the worst kind of emotions right now.... Fear, loneliness and very dark present that the future doesn't seem to have light too. Just one break would mean the world
without the context this song sounds super harsh but once you get the context and the story behind it, it's a beautiful heart warming and emotianal song
I can't believe that 62 people have give it a thumbs down, whoever you are you should be ashamed of yourselves
Being at this VIP M&G was so inspiring...the stories of survival had me in years and I was so moved by how Andy truly listened to each a s every person who chose to share. Beautiful.
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen. EVER
Love Andy's music and poetry!
Merry Christmas everyone and always wear a mask/face cover everywhere you go and always stay six feet apart!
I love your light!!!!! Sooooo much! You are being the difference that makes a difference! 🤍🤍🤍🌠
Head up Class all The way not just an artist a humanitarian. This is a Blessing to see when just "one" person smile, hugs, waves, listens it in fact makes a difference. Head up remember to live every moment, as I Thank God first thing when my eyes open each New morning. For with Him I am never alone!
I’ve been a fan for more than 5 years and every time he has released a song. It always has passion
You are a phenomenal performer. I absolutely love this song. Touches my heart in so many ways. Thank you for you love, compassion and beautiful energy ❤ 💕 💜 💖
Hello beautiful 👋🌹, how are you doing?
