The most profoundly simple understanding of what it means to let go. You fall in love with a living creature, it needs autonomy to breathe. Hold quietly and and almost not at all and you enjoy the wholeness of their rarity, the reality of their impermanence. And give the gift of noble love. Loss without fear is gratitude.
I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong. Really all I felt was falsely strong. I held on tight and closed my eyes. It was dumb, I had no sense of your size. It was dumb to hold so tight, but last night on your birthday in the kitchen my grip was loose. My eyes were open. I felt your shape and heard you breathing. I felt the rise and fall of your chest. I felt your fall, your winter snows, your gusty blow, your lava flow. I felt it all, your starry night, your lack of light. With limp arms I can feel most of you. I hung around your neck independently and my loss was overwhelmed by this new depth I don't think I ever felt. But I don't know. My nights are cold still and I remember warmth. I could have sworn I wasn't alone.
Its such a nostalgic song. The lyrics for some reason remind me of image if the volcano science experiment that overflows at school. Its the childishness mixed with geographical details and metaphors in this quaint little love song. Its really original.

So is this song about how when he had this person in his life he took them for granted and now that they're gone he holds tightly to nothing but a foggy memory?
No, no, no. You don't get it. He wasn't calling you gay or trying to insult you. He was making a simple yet profound statement about what this song really means. It's so obvious. I felt you shape and heard you breathing. I remember warmth. I had no sense of your size. This song is clearly about hand jobs.
i am 19, I was with a girl with whom I was friends for 2 months, before we started dating and yeah, she wasn't present in the same town when we started dating, but we weirdly grew closer. Till we met irl and had our moment. On our second date, we went to the mountains and hugged for 4-5 minutes in the woods when it was raining. I felt her breath, I felt her chest and our bellies were touching. It felt like I was in heaven. We hugged, and it really felt spiritual. We had this song playing in the background, with raindrops and wind. Stars were aligned for us to kiss, but I didn't make a move because she had S. ASSAULT past and I wanted to make her feel safe. We held hands the entire trip and we loved it. Two days later she dumps me for someone else. It was truly so "dumb to hold on so tight." I had anxiety attacks for next 2 weeks, nausea, weakness and even lost weight. I was truly looking for something long-term.
Emotional betrayal and a catastrophic fall. I learned to live these past two years through her and do even simple things differently now. The life i never felt before her is gone. This new depth is soul crushing.
here I am again, mourning the closest thing to true love I ever had. is it better to have loved and lost? im not sure. it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes. funny how that deep, painful sense of loss can only exist _precisely because_ of this beautiful thing that once was. its been years at this point, and it still hurts. maybe one day I'll find a love as deep and profound, and that pain will fade. maybe not. here's hoping, tho.
@@sciant thanks for the words of advice man. funny thing is, we’re not even on bad terms. the breakup was mutual. things just.. stopped working. due to factors beyond our control. i think there was a time when we potentially could have reconciled and tried to start again, and i know there was definitely a time when we wanted to. but so much has happened to both of us in the years since, we’re completely different people now. it’d hardly make sense to at this point. knowing all that doesn’t make it hurt any less, tho. in fact it’s kind of the opposite. it honestly feels like this incredible thing we had ended up broken for no good reason. actually, i think that’s what makes it so painful for me, ultimately. that despite the lack of animosity, and the willingness on both of our parts to try and make it work, there was nothing we could do to salvage our relationship. it just feels so fucking senseless and cruel sometimes, ya know?
this song, for anyone who is wondering, is a great lullaby to help you calm down and breath. the entire song is about breathing and your breath. and honestly it's very poetic.
this is cadens favourite song even though we met online i feel almost as if my brain is wired to think only of him kinda stupid i hardly even know him i miss caden lol

it's about a different kind of loss though.
big fat oof
I've been listening to this song since I was 14. I'm 23 now and it still resonates deeply with me. So powerful and beautiful.
You're 30 now wow
Holy fucking shit
you're 31 now, wow.
i hope you're still listening to this.
you're 31 now, wow.
i hope you're still listening to this.
14 now, i hope i’m still listening to this when i’m your age
I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong.
Really all I felt was falsely strong.
I held on tight and closed my eyes.
It was dumb, I had no sense of your size.
It was dumb to hold so tight, but last night
on your birthday in the kitchen
my grip was loose. My eyes were open.
I felt your shape and heard you breathing.
I felt the rise and fall of your chest.
I felt your fall, your winter snows, your gusty blow, your lava flow.
I felt it all, your starry night, your lack of light.
With limp arms I can feel most of you.

It's one of the most beautiful songs about love I have ever heard
That chord progression is orgasmic
I now understand this song and I never wanted to
corey diemedio sorry bud. ❤️
goooood dam
Same 😔
Same

The melody and production makes you feel like you're being hugged by someone you love. Makes the lyrics hurt twice as much
Makes me feel winter-ish. And I love it.
Word pinch.
Lit insence and nit hats.
I miss her so much
Stay safe dude
Let go, it’s not healthy for us to hold on
L
Me 2.
I know. My ex had a great shape =(
I guess somehow we've all been in that birthday in the kitchen
Makes me want to cuddle with a certain someone right now.. Such a great song, easily one of the best folk songs of our time.
The most perfect song with the most perfect words.
This song is everything I wish I would say.
"But I don't know
The nights are cold
And I remember warmth
I could have sworn I wasn't alone"
the best part about this song is that when i play the barre chords with as much buzz as possible it doesn't even sound wrong
So simple, so beautiful. It's so honest it hurts. The imagery. Frisson
i listen to this song every day
the bass line reminds me of angeles by elliot smith. wow. both are so good
both are quite sad but beautiful albums
this song is genuinely so beautiful and well arranged, my favorite on the album
I'm obsessed with this song.. it's so beautiful
Its such a nostalgic song. The lyrics for some reason remind me of image if the volcano science experiment that overflows at school. Its the childishness mixed with geographical details and metaphors in this quaint little love song. Its really original.
Sounds a lot like the peice of art called "oyasumi punpun." Even if you dont like manga, or even reading, id give it a go

Well, yeah, I've sucked quite a few dicks, but I don't see what that has to do with this.

One of the most beautiful little songs I e'er heard.
I want to let go, but even the fading memories are so much better than anything I see around me in the present
i love the sound of the guitar, beautiful melody too!
for me the lyrics are completely literal
i like it that way
But I don't know
My nights are cold
And I remember warmth
I could have sworn
I wasn't alone
crying and throwing up
loved this
Makes me feel like i'm sitting alone in my bed at 6 am during winter while its -7 out and snowing.

Know that you can have whatever you want if you want it desperately enough, but sometimes it’s better to let go.
i miss this.
I love the little art

One of my contenders for the best song of all time. The Glow PT. 2 is really just a gem in music.
Love. Perfection at its best.

I went and hurt someone else trying to make myself hurt less.
this song hurts in such a bittersweet way, fuck
the song ever
this song, for anyone who is wondering, is a great lullaby to help you calm down and breath. the entire song is about breathing and your breath. and honestly it's very poetic.
seems to me like its about a breakup, and breathing is just a small element in a portion of the lyrics
It can have multiple interpretations, that is the beauty of art
@@CameronFB I interpreted it as feeling someone's presence after they die
ill play this song for her
This song made me have the biggest ugly cry of my adult life
me too, me too
it just happened to me a few minutes ago...
It's funny how everytime I listen to this song, I remember I failed my driving test, I had never failed something in my life before.
have you passed since
spirit of self-regeneration (not cancer, not urban sprawl)

10 seconds in. Instant love. :)
