      That song gets me every time! I grew up in foster care because both of my parents were alcoholics and had mental issues. My mom was anorexic (and died from it when I was 17) and my dad was paranoid and delusional, and sometimes abusive to her and my older brother.
      In the beginning my foster parents were amazing, but as I grew older they started to treat me very badly, and psychologist have later told me it was mental abuse.
      The song reminds me of everything I’ve been through and the scars never seem to truly heal.
      But then again, somehow I managed to stay alive and find my way through it all. I found the man, that was able to heal me. We’re now engaged, have the most beautiful and wonderful 5 year old daughter and I am expecting our son.

  • @kcsupersonic1
    @kcsupersonic1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Definitely want to mention Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran, because that song absolutely breaks me every time I hear it. The reason behind its creation, the touchingly intimate lyrics, the melancholy yet somehow hopeful music, all of it combine to make one of the most poignantly beautiful songs about mourning that I have ever heard.

    Hm.

If we step back even just a little, there's My Immortal by Evanescence, Permanent by David Cook. I'm an 80s kid, so for me, songs like Hello by Lionel Richie, and Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen have much more impact than the songs on this list.
