I remember the first time I heard this song. I was in the car with my ex and this song resonated with me so much. To the point of tears. I looked over at my ex and they didn’t even respond. They actually hated the song and it was at that moment when I realized that we were never meant to be. That they would never follow me into the dark. Flash forward to 4 years later, and I had a first date with someone very special to me. We went to a bar and they had karaoke. Wouldn’t you know, this was the song he had chosen to sing! That special someone is my now husband and we’re expecting our first child in May! So don’t give up hope! There is someone for you!
I know I arrived late to this comment, but I'm so glad you found your husband, and God bless you and your family. :)
Lost my wife of 11 years to suicide two and a half years ago. This was her favorite song. I wanted so badly to follow her. I made promises to her, though. To look after her daughter and our dogs. I'm worn, brothers and sisters. Like butter spread over too much bread, as Tolkien said. I have promises to keep, though.
When I heard this I didn't know much about loss but after a while thru life and lessons suicide became more obvious and I knew to reach out to victims of suicide but I couldn't forget I knew them before they were lost and I found u 💔
@@katyrockett I appreciate that. I'm not going anywhere though. The work isn't done yet.
i sing this song to my cat who is getting pretty old. i’ve lived my entire life with her, and i honestly love her more than anyone in the world. living without her won’t really be living.
I lost my best bud after 18 years... I thought I would go too. But there were more fur babies living out in the cold. Those who's human passed away. They saved ME, and I'm still here....
Hi Josephine, this was always my cat and my self’s song, I recall listening to it with him as I stroked his head and looked into his beautiful green eyes. I looked into his eyes for the last time two years ago, and I couldn’t bear listening to this song again. Today I stumbled upon it by chance and it brought me to tears. Not a day goes past when I don’t think of him, he will forever be on my mind, but even when I thought I wouldn’t be able to love and connect with an animal again, I found my new cat ivy. I know the heartache you’re going through, but give another kitty a chance when the time comes. I know you and I will see our babies someday again when our time comes.
To everyone who commented some sad shit on this video:
I love you. Stay strong.
This is very calming for people who both fear infinity and oblivion and wonder if they'll ever be satisfied with what happens after we die.
abbey Dibelka Yeah, but not infinity. You have to fear both in order to qualify for the comment.
+agizzy23 No, it isn't. Maybe for you personally, but your generalization doesn't hold water.
+agizzy23 Love the comment, but uh your pic scares the shit out of me xD
+The Tarp it doesn't cure it, but it just relaxes me for a few minutes at least.
Somehow crying makes me feel more alive than any other mood does
It's called catharsis. A satisfying release of emotion that, at its best, kinda purges your brain of pent up emotional tension.
I am the polar opposite. I hate crying, I hate that my physiology brings along the triggers. Crying for me serves absolutely no purpose. I don't feel better after. I am happy to deal with being sad, but crying is so unnecessary, yet there are time where holding back is next to impossible. Getting choked up from a mere thought. It sucks and I hate it.
I used to think it was really really sad, but now that I'm older, a little wiser, and have someone whom I love with all of my heart, I see it as a dark but really sweet and comforting song. I really would and _will_ follow her into the afterlife, no matter what it is. Whether it's heaven, hell, or absolutely nothing at all, I'll be at her side for it.
My grandmother just passed away a few hours ago and it's nice to not feel alone right now. Thank you to all the brave commenters who've posted their own loss, hopefully we can all find solace in our shared pain. Much love.

+UltraAnimaniac101 that line is one of the few things left that can make me cry
My daughter just lost her fight. Three days before I played this song on repeat. She was my best friend and I’m so lost without her. She was my light. I can’t follow her yet but soon my princess
My heart breaks for you. I’m so sorry for your loss. A child is such a precious gift, I know that must be hard to carry but I hope one day it doesn’t feel so heavy. Rest in peace beautiful girl.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss! It scares me to think if I should have to lose either my son or daughter before I go.
There is a song for you by Our Lady Peace called Jaded or 4am. Listen to it.
Please read the book the afterlife of Billy fingers, your daughter would want you to
“Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule”
As a survivor of Catholic school, that line made me bust a gut. 😂
My mother used to tell me stories of catholic school. There was a nun who had a pointer with a pencil topper frito bandito man on the end. My mother opened a box of tissues wrong and the nun twhacked her across both hands with it. Everybody hated the frito bandito man.
I suppose it's better than some repercussions where nuns make you bust a nut rather than bust a gut.
currently battling cancer, my boyfriend of 3 years sings this song to me while I'm getting chemo 💓
I'm bit late but I hope you get better love, I'm sorry you have to go through all of this. Stay strong, I believe in you!!
This was by boyfriends favourite song until he took his life. He was bullied for being bisexual, his parents didn’t accept him, he didn’t have many friends. But he was amazing, he was one of the nicest people ever. It was one year ago today when he took his life. The next day I tried to take mine, I wanted to follow him into the dark. But I can’t bring myself to do it.
R.I.P Jay 🖤🖤
i’m so sorry for your loss💕 i hope your doing well. take care!

Then don't do it. I was once like you and I am only 14. I wanted to end my life because I am 30,000 dollars in debt just because of bills and court between me, my mom, and dad. But I didn't and thank god. I get to help people and I have a new passion for playing video games and listening to rock. DontLook4Deez is my channel. I am new to youtube but I play a lot of games. To sum it up you will find what you like and you will be just fine. God Bless you and sorry for your Loss.
I don't know you , but I wish you the best and I hope you stay here with us (:
Look I know you're going through a lot of things but always remember you shouldn't take your life I'm sure if he was here he wouldn't want you to do it I know that it hurts and that's okay
but once you're able to get through that everything will be worth it just don't end it I'm sure there's still a lot of things you should experience he might not be here to experience it with you but you can tell him the stories when the right time has come
and I'm sure there's a lot of people who care about you and would want to be by your side
and all I'm really trying to say is after all the pain and hardships everything will be okay and once you're able to live through that pain things won't seem as scary and you'll feel like you can do anything
even if you feel like you're alone your not he's always there to support you even though he's not beside you and your friends are always there for you
And if you want to you can find a really close friend that you can trust and tell them how you're feeling so they can help you and if you're not comfortable with that you can always have conversations through the Internet cause I can relate if you're not comfortable talking about the things you're going through with people you know cause you feel like they would judge you
just everything will be okay "after the rain there's always a beautiful rainbow to see"
I've really liked this song for a really long time, but now it has a different meaning for me. It actually reminds me of my parents, both of them died in a car accident. The thing is that my father was still alive when they brought him to a hospital (my mom passed away immediately), unfortunately, he passed away no much later. At the funeral, someone came to my side and told me this: "You know, maybe he couldn't have lived without your mother, so he followed after her, that's how much he came to love her". Yes, I´m sure, he followed her into the dark...
I'd like to recommend a song you should listen to. It's called Alright by Pilot Speed. It's going to remind you of your parents and probably make you cry.. but it's a beautiful song I promise.
If you’re here listening to this, then you need to know ... you matter, you’re loved, you will get through this, you will persevere. Hold on. It gets better. 🙏🏻❤️
Pomsky, youre the greatest bestfriend ive ever had. "Rest well now. you're a Good boi. Rest now."
The sheer amount of comments on here that just give a name and "I'll follow you into the dark" saddens me. I've never felt so much for stranger's losses until today.
Never been in love, never dated, never had anything like that. But this song resonates with my soul.

my soulmate died a day before my birthday. he was in love with me, and it was the purest love anyone had ever given me. (i’ve only experienced toxic love before) which made me too afraid to allow myself to love him back. i didnt know how to accept such love im not used to. he always asked me to take a chance with him, and i always replied “im too afraid to lose you and i cant afford that” thing is, he never knew i was more afraid to love him than to lose him. but in losing him, i realized i’ve loved him. i loved him. i love him. but i never got to tell him that, i never got to tell him that when i asked him if he ever met someone he genuinely wanted to spend the rest of his life with that i hoped i’d be his answer because he was mine. he was someone i saw myself wanting to spend the rest of my life with... but now every year his death anniversary is a day before my birthday reminding me of how he never got to celebrate it with me like he said he would. hope when our souls reunite one day, i tell him how much i loved him. tell him i’m sorry that his last text msg was “please reply”, i’m sorry i watched my phone ring without picking up. i’m sorry that our last phone call was short. i’m sorry i didn’t hold him tighter the night that was our last. your soul is with me always. i carry you with me everywhere i go and no time would ever erase or replace you. you’re a part of me, and one day ill be able to tell you myself.
he died in his sleep.
rest your heart and soul in peace, my angel Hussam. until we meet again.
He knew you loved him...❤🦋 I lost my son at 25 years old. I am reminded of his love for me and his beauty as a person. This song is so ethereal. It speaks of love and loss. It transcends all barriers. It is absolutely lovely.
this i the most depressing comment I've ever read,
I hope your not infinitely sad on your birthday I know I would be, this is all I can think of when I read your comment I hope your not offended by it.
My god, I’ve never seen a more depressing comment in my life, I’m so sorry you have to live with that regret.
I work in hospice. Had a patient that was not even 10 years older than me. Watching her teenage daughters hold her hands with their dad nearby was heartbreaking. This song helps sometimes when I have a situation like that.
i’ve never cried more than while reading these comments. to all those who lost someone, stay strong and remember that God loves you. you’re not alone and you can get through this. i might not know you, but i love you all
Right on time with the every six months comment rate 😂 why do people buy bots?..I’ll never understand
I love the comments on this video. The love, the pain. We are are just hurt people trying to find our way in a maze of hurting people, so why can’t we help each other heal? A answer I may never know.
wow. i just came across this comment when listening to this song in the first time in a while. its crazy how many likes this got, 206 people saw this and decided it meant so much to them to like it, and, 1 year later, this comment still holds true in every aspect of my life.
Everybody is lonely, everybody is hurt, why can't we be nice to each other?
RIP Dad. It's been almost three years but I still miss you.
I miss discussing obscure films and analyzing Floyd songs with you.
I miss visiting the book-fair and messing around the stalls with you, hunting for books. I went last year with a friend, but it just wasn't the same.
I wish you were there to see me get my first paycheck.
I hope you're proud of the person I've become.
He's up there, looking at you and smiling. Thinking how lucky he is to have had a son like you.
He is gone off preparing the next life for you Ishan. Fulfill your purpose here and go meet him again when it is over. Take care, be good to all life.
i read three comments and now i'm crying on the floor
My heart breaks over and over for every one of these tragic comments. I love you all and am sending each of you light. You are a blessing and I am so thankful you are on this earth
These comments are making me cry. I'm so grateful for all that I have..
Kas have felt such rejection from just this one girl, she broke me down and broke my heart. I’m nothing close to perfect . What I am is a fool for love. I have always appreciated my own time . It’s what I needed to become someone worth being with. I avoided becoming close to anyone until I found the one. I couldn’t get over what she did to my self esteem. She showed me the worst of what a relationship could be. I’m 38 years old . A full grown man and have seen so many things I will never mention. But that’s all it took to rip my heart out of my chest. I began to realize that she was severely bi-polar and would not take medication. Because I would spend every penny I had on a certain day on food and movies and stuff at CVS , just everywhere and everything I would get her. Some nights you are supposed to just chill in and make sacrifices so you can get the spin brush and whitening strips and cuz ya can’t wait ya make me pay for the most expensive perfume at the most expensive place because you can’t wait to hit the mall where I can hustle the guy down for the biggest bottle. She would smack the shit outta my face. I can not hit a woman. She would make fun of me all day for something, it would make me feel like I was a bum. Years go by there is a total of three great months mixed in. Other than that I haven’t the slightest clue how to talk to woman. She destroyed my entire outlook on everything. For real every single thing is not the same. I question everything I do. Please tell me that this isn’t the way things are supposed to be. Because I am just picking one of the first ones I seen and yours struck me. Because this song was actually a song I would play and sing with a deep belief and absolutely would have done so for her, until one beautiful day I sang the song , with her again on my mind and I couldn’t believe in it, I could not give it the belief and soul it needed. So it really showed me something totally different. You can follow whomever you want into the dark . Yet they wouldn’t want for it to have been you. Selfish to the bitter end and beyond. This song showed me that I had to run. In that sense it was a life saver for my soul.
Ryan Aldrin Toxic relationships can crush your soul. They can make you feel like you can’t love again. I’m sorry that you had to endure that for so many years. I’m empathetic because that is not the way it is supposed to be. I’m sorry. But that is good news after all. Life doesn’t have to and won’t always be this way.
There is only so much you can do, but it’s important to take the proper reconstructive measures in times like these. It helps to build yourself back up. Focus on impressing yourself instead. Your entire worldview can be altered by a single person, but it does go both ways.
You must not lose hope. Doing so, you risk missing out on what could have made it all worthwhile.
These comments are more depressing then the song.
I hope you're all doing well
Thank you. It's hard, but I think that I'll survive today. And tomorrow. One day at a time. That's all that matters for now.
Loss is the hardest thing anyone can go through and although it seems like the void left by those no longer here will never be filled, we have to keep moving forward not just for the departed but for our loved ones still here. It may take time but I promise you it’ll get better. Cherish every moment because tomorrow is not guaranteed and Live your life with love and kindness.
Eventually someone will look at this like a year or two from now. Maybe just months. And god knows what has happened in the world or in your life when you look at how long ago this comment was posted. Whatever you're going through. Stay safe, remind yourself there are people who love you and want to make sure you're okay and do good in this world. It might get scary soon but things can turn around, don't lose hope.
@@WumboJumbo To a degree. Thankfully nothing too terrible, but nothing that great ig.
@@stanmarsh8470 Hey Shaggy bro hope you're having a good day man. Mine's not that good my ex is pissed for no reason but the sun will come out tomorrow you know what I'm saying?
I still miss you Mia, you were my best friend and my first love. If only I got the chance to tell you how I felt before you pulled the plug. I remember how you asked me to stay alive for you during my suicidal days because I felt a deep emptiness, that was nothing compared to what I felt when you passed. I promised myself to stay alive to keep your memory burning bright, and I do not think negatively of you, nor will call you a hypocrite. You were so optimistic and saw the bright side of everything. I hate your ex boyfriend that beat you, I hate your parents for always bickering and neglecting you, and I hate the pills that took you from this world. But I love you for the art of forgiveness you taught me. I lost you before you were mine and all I want to do is see your face again and hear your voice, but the world had different plans. Nevertheless I love you and I know I’ll see you again one day but I’m gonna keep going not just because of the promise but for myself as well. This life is here because of you, thank you. Until we meet again
That’s right. That’s noble. She wants you to live buddy. You had to live for both of you guys. We may not be certain of what is to come after death. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s a deserved paradise. But whatever it is you must take the time to find out. The promise you made is so important. So so important. Don’t forget that
All these sad comments... I hope y'all are okay
Thanks Kevin for sharing this with your subscribers
Someone I considered really close to me and confided a lot in, walked away from my life. I am fully conscious of the fact that I made some mistakes but losing a friend that you invested so much into emotionally is hard. It's almost as if they take a part of you with them.
The memories almost seem unreal, a lifetime away and sometimes even dreamy.
This song has given me a lot of comfort over this phase and I hope everyone going through a tough phase finds the strength to solider on and explore brighter pastures. :)
My best friend took his own life three years ago. I would have liked to help him if I had known what was going on inside him. I would have followed you everywhere. You are not forgotten, I miss you.
I went through the same thing 2 and a half years ago now and I understand your pain ill be praying for your healing
At my friend's funeral, his brother went up to the podium and sang this song for him. It was beyond beautiful. Rest in peace Colt Justice Yorks May 1999 - June 18, 2016
My brother lost his fight to cancer two years ago, I held his hand until his last gasp for breathe. He was my best friend.
Ashy Slashy I’m sorry. My mum passed away from breast cancer five years ago, so I can relate.
I lost my sister to cancer 4 years ago. She was everything to me. This pain is a kind many others don't understand
This song always made me cycle through emotions so quickly. So hard to believe I first heard this song as a teenager and now I'm a grown woman and still hear this song.
This song never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Zeus, you were the greatest cat a boy could hope for. When I was sad, you were there to cuddle and comfort me. You were my only friend for a while, and my best friend ever. It's been five years since you died, and still, I miss you everyday. I love you, Zeus.
Love how everyone here is talking about losing their parent or sibling to cancer, then you're here winging about your cat xd
I've lost cats and dogs thoughout my life, but losing my mom to cancer is soul crushing. I don't know why, but your comment kind of made me mad, and it feels like you're doing it for likes, or troll to see how many likes you can get with a comment like this for fun.
@@OfficialJansen Allow me to give you a quick life lesson so you don't go around gatekeeping everyone's sorrow. You lost your mom to cancer -- thousands of people have had their children raped and murdered. Does that invalidate your grief because it was a child or due to the violent death itself? Using your logic, their pain is probably worse than yours so you can't say anything about your loss. Also, you have no idea the depth or reality of someone's emotional state. You only know to project your emotions to a scenario you're perceiving based on your own reality. Not all parents are winners -- many brutalize and molest their children -- you think those kids are crushed like you were? I doubt. it. For many people, the companionship between a pet and their human is the most profound love imaginable. It's not for you or me to say. Pain is not a virtue. But empathy is.
If you spend all your time weighing your loss against someone else's, then you're invalidating their pain just like a parent who lost their child could do to you. Someone ALWAYS has it worse. Even worse than you. Never forget that.
Grief is not a competition. Embrace empathy and be grateful for the relationship you had with your mother that warrants such soul-crushing grief. With big love comes big grief, and love comes in all forms. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@OfficialJansen Sup My first experience of loss was losing my cat. I loved her greatly, and it was the worst pain I had felt. Later in life, my dad and brother died within one year of each other, and I all but forgot the loss I felt over my cat's death. To this day though, I'm still too much of a wuss to get attached to an animal that way. I know that any loss of life is horrible, and I want to avoid that feeling as much as possible. I understand your comment and your anger, and I'll admit I laughed a little when I saw the cat comment cause it seemed out of place, but I don't blame them for posting it if that's how they feel. I could probably find a better friend in a cat than anyone else I know (besides my SO), and losing a friend can be soul crushing as well.
On a side note, my condolences for your loss. I hope you're doing well.
Sup
My cat is almost 18 years old and I love her to death, I've known her almost all my life. I guess everyone has different relationships with their pets, but some people truly have a deep bond with their cat or dog.
I'm sure losing my parents would be worse, but that does not take away that it'll hurt a lot when she'll pass.
Whoever this was written for is very lucky. I hope they appreciated it.
This album came out in 2005 man, and their most recent album would be referring to her. Check it out it's good!
Music is art for the soul. Never forget to take the time to slow down and feel your emotions. You deserve at least that much
I remember I was dating an Amazing girl and she was then diagnosed with cancer. I constantly kept praying she would get better, I constantly checked in on her and I always hoped she would get better. Yesterday she passed away and I just can’t believe it. She was sweet, caring, and pure. I’ll never forget you My friend. You meant so much to me
My mother died of brain cancer then 6 hours later her sister had multiple heart attacks and died. She had said before "if you go, then I am going too."
R B your sister wouldn’t let your mom go to the other side alone. That’s truly beautiful. 🙌Sorry for your losses
My girlfriend and mother of my child passed away the day before my 21st bday 8 months ago. She was 19. Me and Luna miss you so much mommy. Fly high
I'm so terribly sorry. I know words don't help, but I will honor your lives and courage always.
Pete Poteet dude you dont need to say that because of their opinion. Its not like they are wrong. Having children at an age that young could make it hard for the parents and the baby. Yes What they said was kinda fucked up but they only want attention so dont give it to them.
apparently it’s a common sentiment for loved ones who have passed to have sung this song...same goes for me. it’s still a weird mix of comforting and harrowing to hear this. it’s also sad and beautiful to see my experience mirrored by so many other people, stay strong to everybody who’s had to deal with this and i’m glad we can at least feel a little less lonely in our relationship with this song.
My dad used to play this in the car on road trips when I was a kid, I've probably had the lyrics memorized for 13 years now. Still one of the best songs I've ever heard.
one of my best friends committed suicide about two weeks ago, at his funeral his boyfriend, no one in his family knew he was gay, stood up and sang this song and it was the most emotional moments I've ever felt. Everyone was crying
R.I.P James L. Nov. 6 2001-Apr. 12 2017. You were so young
I am so, so sorry for your tremendous loss. I wish all those who were touched by this tragedy peace.
I used to listen to this song with my dad when I was younger, and we'd listen to the song while watching the video of the bunnies that went with it haha. I'd always cry because it was sad to me. My dad would get out his guitar and sing along to the song for me. Due to a rare condition he has, he's now in critical condition in the hospital right now. I'm trying my best to learn this song on the guitar so that I can go and sing it to him before he passes😢 love you dad. ❤️
I'm so sorry, I hope your father will be able to rest peacefully.
Wow, I am touched by your story.
Life is cruel and everyone will eventually experience the sorrow of losing a loved one.
Just remember that is just how life is and you are not alone.
I wish you the best :)
i wish your father the best of luck... remember, even if he does pass, you wont be alone, he will always be with you in your heart... i am praying for him living through this.
Sorry if I sound like a dick but playing the song before he, god forbid, passes would fit so well in the situation.
first time I heard this song, I was watching the movie "the invisible". I've grown up since then, but this will always be an "anthem" of my childhood. sad, yet loving. soft, yet profound. amazing tunes. well done.
My boy B.J was my best friend for 18 years. Got him at 15, he crossed the rainbow bridge when I was 33. I hope our souls get to meet again.
My daughter played this for me today. We lost Michael (her dad, my husband) on 2/22/20. I'm crying.
Leaves from the vine,

@@andreah9587 idk what you're talking about, it might as well be the same song, they both make people cry
Me while listening songs i always have a habit to scroll comments,but the comments in this song make my tears came out after long time back feeling sad to those who have lost anyone close to their heart. Ohh god hold my tears,i need a tissue paper too
I haven’t had a drink for 6 days and I am working through separation anxiety.
Have you tried AA, throughout all the years consistently going to AA was the only thing that's really kept my mom sober
I played this on my acoustic at my grandmother's funeral 3 years ago. broke down at the end of the final verse and barely finish the song. not a day goes by that she's not on my mind...I know I'll miss her forever...rest easy...till we meet again!
These comments make my own issues seem very insignificant.
We are all going to die and we are all aware of it. That is significant enough.
same tho i’m litterally here to screen record it so i can use it for an edit
just because someone else has it harder doesn’t mean you aren’t sad. just because there are kids in africa starving doesn’t mean you are automatically better :( i wished people realized everyone’s problems are significant
I never thought a song so dark can be so lovely and so nice to listen to
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
There are some songs, that, when you listen to them for the first time, you feel as if you've known the song all your life.
I still remember, the first time I heard this, I felt that familiarity.
The music seemed to be playing for me. It's a wonderful feeling.
***** im a song writer and at some point as i writer you will surely come to the point when you will have to eventually deal with mortality. writers are believers and dreamers so afterlife for some of us is a logical progression. and when you are truly in love..... then then walking into the dark with your love is the sweetest of all thoughts
My fiance and I are going to use this as our first dance at our wedding in two months. I'm very sick and we honestly don't know how much more my body will take. But we aren't only using this song as a symbol of undying love. But also as undying sacrifice. A lot of bad luck has come my way and I always feel like if it wasn't for me, my fiancé would have a much better life. But he says I will always follow you into your darkest days and hardest hours. We have been through so much. We have been in the darkest part of our relationship, with sickness, job losses, pregnancy losses, and so much more. I have always loved this song, but I am so grateful that now there is so much meaning behind it for the both of us.
MyDogIsYoshi Yes sorry, alive and married as of last week. 💕
Life With The Lanagans How wonderful! Another couple I know just got married yesterday! Keep striving.
Evie, the world without you around has been such a struggle it's been 2 weeks and 5 days now since you've been gone. I miss your cuddles every night when I went to bed, yesterday we picked up your Ashes from the Vet and I haven't even been able to look at them yet because I still can't face that you are gone my darling. I just hope you are okay wherever you are now, and I will see you soon. I love you forever and always my little angel.
Years and years ago my first boyfriend played this song for me when my life was falling apart. He didn't have words to tell me he'd be with me through it so he used this song. Now every time I face my deepest heartbreak, I come back to this song. I remember that. It gives me hope for happier tomorrow's.
there’s a girl named Hannah at my school with a white streak in her hair. About a year ago during her junior year of high school, her longtime boyfriend got into an awful car wreck and ended up dying. She sang this song at his memorial this year and started crying halfway through. I’m happy that the girl with the white streak in her hair has such a beautiful song to help her cope. thank you.
venus I met a woman in my criminal justice course with the same thing. She was a domestic abuse survivor and her head got bashed to the point where it just grows in white.
Man, everyone here has experienced some sort of deep, piercing loss, and it makes me feel kinda silly for my significantly less tragic connection to the song. And yet, I still cry whenever I hear this song. I truly feel the emotion Ben Gibbard pours out from his heart into the music. And I wish with all my heart that I will find a love that runs as deep as this.
This was “our song” between me and my first high school boyfriend. He wasn’t my first love, but my first “mature” love, if that makes any sense. Gone were the days of childhood crushes, and on into the days of planning a future and deep conversations. We would cuddle under the stars, he'd bake me cookies, he'd read poetry to me until I fell asleep, the whole package.
I have some wonderful memories with him, but also some awful ones. He was so manipulative; he shattered my already fragile heart and self-esteem. I was blind with naïveté and puppy love, thinking I could "fix" him somehow. It took me so long to see who he truly was. I still have trust issues from it. It was my only real, long-lasting relationship for years, so I was afraid to try again for love because I didn't want to go through that again. It’s funny how many of my best memories are with some of the worst people who have hurt me the most.
For a long time, I believed I was unlovable, or that “true love” was something only in fairytales. It’s awful, living so young and jaded. It took me a while, but I’ve met a better man who really loves me and treats me with respect, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I still cry at this song now - not for the painful memories of the past, but for the bittersweet beauty in it and for the hope that our love will be this strong, knowing that we will go out together.
The title of the song alone is one of my favorite phrases I’ve ever heard.
this song reminds me of my favorite dog that just recently died, her name was sadi. rest in peace
About a week ago I was eating an ice cream cone and two bites in the top fell onto the carpet. This song helps me through the pain of losing that sweet sweet cherry vanilla goodness. I don't think the pain will ever go away completely but this songs helps me to smile a little each day.
I'm so sorry... i know it's tough, i've been through the same too and after years and years the pain still there. Right now i can feel the tears but you know, you have to push you up and move on. In my case, ill never forget you mint chocolate, you've been a lot to me until the end and i know you're in a good place even if you are....without me :'(
Good luck to you my friend
I'm 11. This is my parents song. I always used to hear this. Never knew what it really ment. And I used to sing it all the time. But my father passed in 2016. I miss him so much. I had forgot it for a while until I saw this. Now I can sing amazingly. This is to you dad. Miss you!!!
That’s always been my worst fear and I couldn’t bear it. You’re really strong. Stay positive
Nothing ever makes me cry as hard as this song does.
This song lived rent free in my head all day today. Literally as soon as I woke up. Absolutely Love DCFC
The closest friend I ever had and also the bass player in my music group The Isms recently died from a terminal illness. He played this song for me towards the end of his life. This song really resonated with him. Now I listen to it in memory of my dearest friend.
I feel as though I know this song, and not just because of Blackrock or anything. It's as though I've heard it so many times before, but can only remember the feelings, not the music itself. It's beautiful.
never listened to deathcab before. heard this song for the first time last night, and had the exact same feeling. thanks.
Lily Chambers this song is beautiful yes but what you just said is even more beautiful.
This is the song that played when I was on my way home from school the day we put my dog down. It holds almost a sentimental value
Thanks to Good Omens, today I found out this is NOT an original Amanda Palmer's song xD. Her version was the only one I knew.
The fact that this lost to My Humps at the Grammys royally pisses me off. 😡😡😡😡😡🔪
I'm guessing it just came out at the wrong point in time, had it come out around now it should've done better
You just said the reason... "validation." It's validation from a reputable source that your music is good.
Tbh I don't think a reputable source should matter. I think the only thing you need to validate your music being good is one person to feel really moved by it and this song certainly has that.
Came here cause I needed a good Cry, Miss you Irma, our Daughter was the best Gift you’ve blessed me with ❤️
This was my wedding song 3 days ago. I think it’s greatest love song ever written
For anyone who sees this, though unlikely, keep pushing forward. I'm sure you'll see them again, but they would want to see you strive. While I didnt come from loss (It was a cover/parody, and I wanted to hear the original), I still cry whenever I hear it. Have a nice day guys gals and nonbinary pals~
This song makes me feel nostalgic. I remember when i was little, my parents would always play this song around the house. I remember long drives home as this song played on the radio. I remember humming it when I felt sad and scared in my first month of kindergarten. I remember singing it when no one was around to hear. And then I heard it again, and I remembered all the little things about myself and I just feel so sad. There's a lot I could say about this song. But for now, I'll just say thank you to the person who brought it back to me. I don't ever want to forget.
+AmeliaPanics no Same here!!!! :D For some reason I find it sooo comforting
In 2017, I graduated.... But me sitting in the sidelines after quitting football senior year, I never went to prom. I just went home after I got off work. I asked my high school crush. She said no. I felt so let down. But now this song makes me feel like I could go back...go back and fix everything. Now all my friends and graduates are going to exotic places of the world while I'm just working at a Taco Bell and staying at home. When I listened to this. I feel like I should do something with a special someone... Well most of people won't read this, so here you go.
I feel if you want, you can do whatever you want with your life. Go live life, don't regret, and never look back. It can only get better if you have the ambition to do something. Hope i said something meaningful
I completely understand where you are coming from. The first step is always the toughest. Make a choice and go for it. Believe me a decade will go by in a blink of an eye. Make sure you are on the right side of that door.
Hey bro i read this shit. Keep your head up my dude there's nothing wrong with working and going home at least you're not sitting around all day lol and something I've learned you don't find love it finds you and once you have it don't fuck it up cause it'll never be the same twice. Trust me i know and i fucked up hasn't felt the same with anyone since
Garrett Griffin love will find you brother!!!! When the time is right
I know what you are going through. I quit football senior year too and felt like I hadnt had the full high school experience because of how introverted I was. My world view kinda cracked and all i could think, "so what now? is this really it?" And I saw the EXACT same things you have. Nothing but work and college to occupy me meanwhile my friends were out exploring the world. I felt really small and an overwhelming pressure was always on my shoulders. So I know what you need to hear. You are doing exactly what you should be doing. You are just preparing yourself for the future and these little things you think you are doing are not so little. Trust me.
"Everthing is going to be fine in the end. If its not fine its not the end." - Oscar Wilde
Oh. And the crush thing. In time you will look back to the time you were turned down and its going to hurt just as bad remembering it as when you were there. But the joy from being with someone who actually cares for you with all their being will make you feel lucky that you got rejected that day. I know I do.
So in all, what Im trying to tell you is dont compare yourself to others and dont anchor to past events. Because we are all on the same boat. Some get off early, some get off late. Some jump right off. some take their time. Life isnt race nor competion. Nor is it a timer that is coninuously counting down. Its a blank page that is patinetly waiting until you are good and ready to continue writing your story.
You got this.
I still love this person because they had this within them. Thank you for sharing it.
This song reminds me of my great grandparents, after 65 years of marriage and growing up together my grandmother went into the hospital for a routine checkup she suddenly had a stroke and ended up in palliative care and an hour later we were saying our goodbyes when my uncle wheeled in my grandfather he screaming at the top of his lungs that it was supposed to be him first and if his legs still worked he'd carry her through the gates of the holy land himself because it was what she deserved, it was the most heart breaking thing I have ever heard in my life he kept saying over and over that he loved her and after 65 years he had still loved her so very much since before they were kids, to this day I still hear him crying, she was completely unresponsive but when she passed she opened her eyes one last time and looked at him and he said he loved her and she was going to be ok and that he'd be there soon to take care of her like always then she closed her eyes and she just died, I had to grab her stuff and the sad thing is she had her money in her coat for the taxi ride home it happened so fast and so suddenly, my grandfather died a week later at the same time and same day she did, he waited for her funeral and the next day he just layed down and passed away, wherever they are now I hope there together and happy
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎹🎧
My mother died earlier this year. she was in her 50s. Today is my parents' 33rd anniversary. I broke down when I heard this song. I can't imagine what my father must be going through. Maybe someday I'll be able to listen to this song and Supermarket Flowers without crying.
Much love to everyone else in the comment section.
Hey, I’m so sorry for you. Hope you and your dad are doind ok. Sending love for you from Brazil ❤️
Hello dear fellow desi sister..how are you doing? I hope uncle is doing okay and better now. May Aunty's soul rest in peace and as an invisible cloak protect your beautiful family with all the love n care in the world.
@@briandepalma7252 Hello back to you fellow desi! Thank you so much for your beautiful words!
We are doing better. Of course there is still a void but you get used to it with time.
i remember my mum playing this song on the guitar just by herself when i was a baby. i would give everything to go back to how our relationship was back then. now im just fighting to keep myself alive and i miss her so much
Hey you commented this over a year ago. If you're still around I hope you're kicking the shit out of life and doing amazing. Whoever you are you're part of this world. I love you and we need you!
Original comment was 3 years ago, and check in comment was 1. Now here I am saying ditto to the comment above mine, and that I hope you've experienced more love and care in this world over the passed years since you posted this. I hope you have a beautiful silver lining to guide you from any darkness you may experience. ❤❤
Blue Brushy, you were the greatest toothbrush a guy could ask for. When you fell and rolled underneath the toilet, my heart sank knowing it was all over. Rest easy my bristly friend.
i had to punch a wall to feel manly again
***** doesnt make any sense but you used the word "dick" so it's really mean insult
+Graven Pratt It's OK. I've punched many holes in walls myself. It sounds lame, but the loss of my twin brother was detrimental to say the least.
Good thing was I've pretty much mastered drywall repairs and texture and blending the texture. I'll follow him into the dark.
+iTurbo turbo Mopar And as an apartment maintenance guy that has to repair these holes that everybody punches into walls.......
.....I can only hope that you punch a stud.
one of the reasons i love this song is because is emphasizes a lack of fear for death, and even i sort of calm surrounding it
my long distance boyfriend says this is our song. and reading the comments makes me realize how lucky i really am. yes, he’s far from me and it sucks, but i’m grateful he’s still *here*. to everyone hurting right now in the comments, just know i’m sending y’all all of my love and good energy.
After all these years, this song still cuts so deeply that I cannot bear to listen past the first 30 seconds. While I dont blame her - the very person who introduced me to this song and this band - for leaving and for not being the one whom I can "follow into the dark", I am still deeply saddened and permanently scarred for what happened. What a beautiful track and what a shame that I can never listen to it again. If only there was a way I can know that in an alternate universe, everything turned out exactly how it was meant to for us, for the two souls that made a promise to each other under that star. I wish can I forget you, I truly do.
My girlfriend and I had some weird thing with this song.
Now she got pregnant from being raped, and she insisted on cutting me from her life so I wouldn't be burdened.
If anyone would give me a ride to her new place in New York, I'd be the guy to play this outside her house waiting for her to come back to me. I don't care what's she's going through, I'll go through it with her.
I got in contact with her.
We agreed to be friends for now (even though it feels like nothing has changed.) -She had a miscarriage-
Damn man, that must be so hard.. :/ I wish the best for both of you form El Salvador!! And don't woory, If it's meant to be your paths will cross again, i'm sure!!
RIP Ryan (My best friend)
2006-2017
I miss our secret hide out when we were 5 I still visit it sometimes.
I miss you best friend
Happy Birthday
I use to have a hideout with my friends and we all loved it. Then all at once we split up. Some moved some became antisocial or weird and some just got lost. By lost I mean gone. You can’t get those people back. Souls destined to travel this world empty and emotionless. I still visit that hideout sometimes and play on my DS in it. It feels good to do it. It just feels happy
I saw death cab for cutie perform live last year At lollapalooza. They’ve been in my top two favorite bands for 5 years 😌 I’m so glad I got to experience the beauty of their songs live. Ben Gibbard player this song, my favorite song, and it was such a special moment in the crowd. I believe that everyone felt it. I think Ben said something like that he doesn’t usually perform this; I feel really lucky that I got to hear it. ❤️
I met the love of my life a long time ago and it just wasnt the right timing, but i know she was my soulmate. Best person i’ve ever met. We loved this band. I just hope shes happy. Thats all ive ever wanted for her
My first love & I were in a car accident early this year, he didn't make it.. Rest in peace xoxox You'll never be forgotten Brodie
July 30 1993 - January 9 2017 I love you
Jaclyn Bell we're so sorry to hear about your loss that that made me cry even more my hormones are messed up LOL I lost my mom almost a year ago I'm losing my dad and uncle both to dementia uncle has stage 4 cancer I guess this is kind of going to be first Christmas alone.. dad and uncle the only family I have left... They're here physically but not mentally.. I know I'm not the only one who goes to this situation it's so scary I just wasn't ready for all this at one time that my heart is with you I can't imagine the pain you must be going through
I'm crying in the middle of the night because of the comments here. Why you guys gotta make me cry? :(
I hope the memories of your loved ones will stay with you until you follow them into the dark. I hope the memories of mine will as well.
@Felisya Alaudina, I should have played this song at my mother's funeral for my dad, he followed my mother into the dark about a year after her passing. My mother always gave my father his strength, without her he just went down hill quickly
Stumbled upon this by accident, made me cry coming home from work, youtube be too much sometimes. Told my wife i loved her immediately
adam perkins im here if u ever need a talk, ill share my life stories with you
Thx to everyone for sharing your stories help alot. Sometimes you just need to cry and its really hard for me to show emotions but this song helps and all the stories to read help get me out of that dark place. Thx to everyone for being strong enough to share your feelings.
Out of the thousands of TH-cam songs I’ve watched, the comment section on this particular song hits me in the feels the most.
Kevin, thank you so much for sharing this amazing song with your subscribers ♡
More like bore ragnorak
For real though, this is a beautiful song and I'm glad Kevin recommend it
I see this more as an elderly couple who have lived their entire life together, lying down next to each other, holding hands and both saying "I'm ready.".
Same.
***** i think he meant ready to die together
but that would be kinda funny though
theamvgirlx You just made me sob.
theamvgirlx You gave me chills and also feels so stop that. I'm seeing them live in 2 days and now this will be the only thing I'll be able to think of. I know I'm going to cry now. I KNOW it.
Sorry, I didn't want to make people cry D:
