    Isn't it beautiful,this part of TH-cam?
    Looking at the comments here,the genuineness,the hope,the love,everything;I feel so at home.
    I don't feel like I am alone anymore.
    It makes me smile and my heart smile and flutter in gentle happiness that such beautiful people exist ❤️

      I am so grateful for people showing so much love here. I hope that you may read these words : Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." After years of suffering and struggling in difficulties that I am now free of, I found that peace can only be found in Jesus and the love from God our Father. I hope you may give calling upon the name of the Lord: Jesus, a try. If you do not have these beliefs, I still wish you well, friends. I mean to share love, never hate.

      I used to be so kind. Growing up in the ghetto I wanted so bad to fit in, so i gave away parts of myself. When i got older i realized it wasn't who i wanted to be. So i shed my circle and retreated into myself. Music like this and people like you made me find myself. And although I let go of many I thought were friends. I now know I'm not alone 😁

    This song is the feeling of homesickness, a feeling that you’re on a rainy road waiting to come home. Your trip is long, and you’re tired.. maybe your home isn’t really even a house. Maybe your trip isn’t a travel. Maybe the rain isn’t really from the cloud. Regardless of what is what, you are missing the thing that makes you feel calm and safe.

      Boni King Hi, I don't know if you'll ever read this. I hope you're happy and healthy now. One thing you must know my love that you're amazing and you have a strong existence in someone's life. He will never forget the room you've shared and the coffee you've sipped together. Because you're precious and important, no matter where you are, you'll always be in his heart and that's your home.

    Its 6.30 in the morning and I haven't slept all night. The room is dark with just a tiny bit of ligjt escaping from behind the curtains. The room is at a peefect temperature and although there are birds chirpinf outside and the world just has started to wake up, i lie wide awake on my bed, with this playing in the background, looking at the invisible ceiling, all content. No pain, no sadness, nothing. There is a sense of calmness in the mood but also a sense of bitterness to it. I am drowning to the music but the bitterness still holds

The atmosphere being with him is just so amazing. He was so fun to be with, so chill. No dull moments with him. I hope his soul will rest eternally with God's grace. May God forgive him from all the things he had done.

    In a sea of comments this is my message in a bottle:
    Sarni,
    Thanks for existing. You give me hope and I don't know how I would go on living if we had stopped talking. I don't want this to stop. I don't want us to stop ever.
    But I know about the possibility of drifting apart and I do think about it a lot whether I express it or not. You light up my world like nobody else had done before.
    You may never come across this message but thats alright. Reading through all these distressing comments compelled me to write this. They did hit close to home.
    We may never meet in real life, ever. But I hope you know that I love you and I always will.
    Never change.
    Your beautiful cat,
    Ishmam

    Words mean more at night, Like a song.
    Did you ever notice, The way light means more than it did all day long?
    Words mean more at night, Light means more.
    Like your hair in your face, And your smile,
    And your bed and the dress that you wore.
    And I'll send you my words,
    From the corners of my room,
    Though I write them by the light of day,
    Please read them by the light of the moon.
    I wish I could leave my bones,
    And my skin.
    And float over the tired, tired sea,
    So that I could see you again.
    Maybe you would leave too,
    We'll blindly pass each other,
    Floating over the ocean blue,
    Just to find the warm bed of our lovers.
    And I'll send you my words,
    From the corners of my room,
    Though I write them by the light of day,
    Please read them by the light of the moon,
    Please read them by the light of the moon,
    Please read them by the light of the moon.

    Ive said it before, but Gregorys songs feel like someone putting their hand on your shoulder. Just something so small, so effortless, and yet it carries so much weight. You just get this immense feeling of warmth, and yet a comforting coolness. It amplifies whatever feelings you do or dont want to feel.
    I was feeling totally chill and this song started playing. I let it play. I was crying halfway through. Ill be moving soon, and i have plans to move very far from my family. This song somehow made me find how i really felt about it. I truly believe Gregory alan isakov is genuinely one of the best musicians of all time. Ive never had an artist make me feel the emotions that hes made me feel. Make me feel nostalgic for things ive never experienced. I have no clue how he does it.

    I bought his album on vinyl, "The Weatherman," I play it every afternoon looking at the sunset from my room, and it wonderfully changes my mood whenever my anxiety attacks me. This song, "word," is the very first song I have ever listened and I can't help but put myself into flashbacks of my life where I can still travel freely in different cities and countries. Traveling is my life. It will always be. I am dedicating this song to myself, reminding me that I've been blessed to experience those things I imagine doing again. Soon, I'll get to fly again and spread my wider and stronger wings again, and everything will be okay. I am now in the phase of my life where I am stuck, but I know this, too, shall pass.

    This song reminds me of the loneliness, it's funny how a person can feel alone in a world full of people and not loved surrounded by people who love you. It may be stupid and most likely it is. It seems very strange how it works because, how can you feel loved, if you don't love yourself? How can someone find love, if he doesn't give it to himself? How could he love himself? What led him to hate himself so much? Maybe how they raised him? and he feels that he must be angry at someone, because he didn't made this, he didin't chose to feel this empty, and he feels that he must hate someone, but he realizes that nobody deserves that, because he knows how it's to being hated, so he begins to hate himself, it's like a vicious circle or a hamster wheel ... And that's what he calls life.

      I am mentally incapable of bringing any love for myself. I have a lover, but what is she for me now? I have a family, too. I have pets that want me unconditionally. Why doesn't it feel enough for me? Love feels like a veneer that I place over my own rotting teeth to keep them from falling off. I can't even return the favor to those who feel something for me. I pretend to love just so I won't be completely alone. And yes, I'm completely aware of it. I just go on with it.

    I grew up with my first love, was with me from age 15 all the way to now, 20. She left me 7 months ago claiming to be seeking happiness on her own, yet that happiness was in the form of someone else. It still haunts me y'know. I don't think I have felt more mortal or humbled as I do now. Although the day to day nightmare of living without her has faded, I still have the most vivid dreams about her. Full conversations, good and bad ones... or ones where I'm holding her tightly, taking in her smell and warmth. Today I woke up with the most real one yet, Complete play by play, almost like a movie, of us making love like we had done hundreds of times over. When I woke up it wasnt the sex I was missing, it was how close I had become to another human being, how i was able to be vulnerable in every sense of the world. She was mine and I was hers completely.... I know that our time has passed and I am meant to move forward, but it's such a daunting thought, being able to attain that once again. It's almost as if I am betraying her by even thinking about it. I have a long ways to go before I am ready to bring another women into my life, but my constant longing for her wishes I was there already. I want to be the man I wasn't, and the lover I can be. I won't be selfish this time, and I will become a better man so that someday I will meet a women who has built to the same level I have. I hope she is perfect, not in the shallow type of way, but in the way she is able to love, and understand. Life may have lots to offer, and of course I know I am young. But my entire life ive dreampt of having a great love, and I fear that I may have squandered my chance.

      All is going to be well. Hold on to the hope. True, life is full of miseries and heartaches, but once in a while, we get the fleeting opportunity to experience something beautiful and if anything, I personally find that to be worth a thousand years of misery. Godspeed beautiful human. I wish you well.xx

      I know what you mean, truly, word for word. The dreams and all. Its hard and although ive moved on, even going into the army infantry for a new life entirely, i cant let go of that sliver of hope that holds on to her. So i hide it away and let it out only for my self on lonely nights like these with a bottle or some beers and those last few cigs and close my eyes playing back some memories I'd like to live again. How happy i am to feel them again then remembering where I am and where she isn't and reminding my self it's all okay. Maybe someday she'll be back, and maybe she won't, either way it'll all be okay

      Yeah there's something about night that screams creativity and uniqueness. During the day we all are busy with our lives physically and socially. It's in the night that you realise so many things. One thought builds up on another and somehow they start contradicting each other. And then you try to find the answers sometimes you do and get that aha moment and sometimes you don't leaving it to nature and things beyond humanity.

      100% feeling this. It's the same with a lot of songs, and I think you've really nailed the description. They have a way of making us imagine scenarios that haven't happened yet, with people we haven't met. Feels strange when it comes to you instantly too. Hearing a song for the first time and immediately your mind paints a picture of the situations you'd like to put yourself in when this song plays.
