Between this performance and Formula 1’s…. I just can’t handle it. Each one she put a different take on it compared to her studio version… and she killed both of them. Absolutely insane.
Saranya honestly red only became my favorite album 5 years after it was released. I agree. It tells the most beautifully, painful stories and sometimes you have to live them to appreciate them.
@@lilygrant1904 man, where have you been dude? This is literally one of the hottest news on music bussiness right now. Google is free but since i am generous let me tell you: Tay has to re-record her past albums (except rep) because her former record label's, Big machine, president Scott borcheta sold the company (with of course Taylor's 6 album masters) to non-other than Scooter braun, whose Taylor despise the most, for $300 millions.
This is factual proof that the girl is such a strong song writer. Holy ground is so uptempo you dont realize how heart breaking the actual song is. I love this version of Holy ground i wish it was on streaming or maybe when she re records RED she will include this version too.
@@The_Woodss you guys are just saying that in an effort to be different. the lyrics are about being happy about a relationship because it happened even though it ended. maybe we interpreted it differently? but there is a reason why the main version is upbeat.
Some people are saying that she shouldn't rerecord everything - because it won't be the same - but that's the beautiful thing. Yes, her voice changed. It grew up. But it aged like a fine wine, and I can't wait to her some of her old songs with this new level of maturity.
That is exactly why I want her to re record everything. She has grown up so much and her vocal, song writing and performance has improved and matured massively. I would love to hear her studio version her old songs again just for that
Esklet Ts When she re-records her old music, I hope she includes the acoustic version of State of Grace. One of my favorite songs of all time. Original is great, but the tenderness and feeling in the acoustic takes me somewhere else.
Lover, to me, feels like Red II. The songs have the same earnestness and vitality. Although she's 7 years older, she still has this freshness of perspective when falling in love. Absolutely love it!
The buzz around her album and singles and her fame over all tends to overshadow the fact that she is genuinely so talented, especially when it’s raw like this.
Right! I always find Taylor's voice is the most powerful when she is standing with her guitar or sitting at her piano. The way she re did this song gives me goosebumps! It's amazing.
Jack Alterman i think they mean that people choose to focus on her personal life etc and not actually on how talented she is and what she has accomplished during her career. and also there isn’t that many people that can write a song like taylor swift lets be honest the girls a living legend wbk
@@jackalterman So many people can play the piano and sing, but not many can add charisma, stage presence and amazing lyrics to the equation. She can, and that's why she's there. And also the obvious luck factor.
Soma Rippert i know, i don’t understand why people don’t get the meaning of this album. and only say it’s a trash or smth. cause i think it just tells us the grownups maturity of her mind, her life. and i love her for always putting a meaning in her songs so the songs aren’t just like a rhythm but tell a related story in each album:) (sorry for bad english)
Taylor has this extraordinary ability where she can turn good album tracks into incredible ones just with the power of a stripped down live performance. The sign of a true artist.
Maybe because all her songs started out as acoustics before it was turned into pop, so it wasn't really hard for her. She knows everything there is to know when it comes to songwriting.
@@annemargot1933 but I think it's evident just like what she did from the untouchable song which the original version is rock, yet she completely turns it to different music.
I’ve found that a lot of her rep to lover era performances of her older songs have a prominent feeling that the emotions she put into the originals are long gone. But there’s something beautiful about this one. I can tell that she remembers exactly how she felt when she wrote the song, and I feel like the way she decided to communicate it is so beautifully honest. Also, props to the chorus singers. They sounded incredible.
10 Facts you probably didn’t know about Taylor Swift’s Holy Ground. 1. The song was written by Taylor, while the production was handled by Jeff Bhasker. 2. This lyrics begun in February 2012. 3. In the song, Taylor is looking back at a whirl wind relationship from her past. She’s realizing just because the relationship didn’t work out, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good memory or that it was wasted time. The memories are still safe and sacred. Just because Taylor and the guy weren’t meant to be, doesn’t mean she can’t look back fondly at the time they spent together. Every mistake is a lesson learned. 4. She wrote this song about her first love at 18. 5. The hidden message of the song is "When you came to the show in SD". 6. Rumors of the song being about Jonas were fueled by his appearance at Taylor's San Diego show during the Speak Now World Tour. 7. She played this song and "The Lucky One" for Jeff Bhasker, acoustically, in the studio, the first time he heard them. 8. Paul Sidoti, guitarist of Taylor, says that this song is "probably the mostly the most poweful and rocking song" he has ever performed with Taylor. 9. Amos, basist of Taylor, this song is his favorite song to perform on the RED TOUR 10. A fan at the Nashville 1989 Secret Session asked her whta the background vocals in Holy Ground were saying and she said they were just "vocalizations to represent happiness."

I’ve watched all 6 performances and all 6 are flawless. Her vocal control is really good. She hit all the notes, she approached the melody differently depends on the lyrics, and most importantly she put emotion into it. Yeah she may not be a powerhouse vocalist, but she’s a damn good singer. Her range is getting wider as well, try to sing all 6 songs she just performed, the low notes are low and the highs are actually quite high. And she keeps improving. She’s really really great. And I just love her tone, so soothing and beautiful.
One of my top songs from Red Album, it deserves more recognition. Thanks Taylor for sharing this song even back in pre-reputation era, you’ve been playing this live ☺️😊
She’s not gonna make them sound that different unless it’s another version of the song cause then people would keep listening to the originals, which ruins the whole point
The original was perfect. Looking back fondly at a young love that came and went quickly but was amazing while it lasted. This is even more perfect. Like she’s longing to find that passion again with someone she’s been with for a really long time. So calm and tender. Her voice is stunning.
Just came here after seeing her perform this at the Eras Tour (piano surprise song, Tokyo N1). She sounded INCREDIBLE, I was absolutely blown away and immediately needed to find more acoustic versions of holy ground. I am begging/crying/praying that she will eventually bless us with some high quality recordings of more live Eras performances. Especially some of her acoustic/surprise song sets - those have had some of her best vocal performances to-date!!!
i forgot the original isnt this after hearing this. fearless rerecording was a more mature voice- but songs werent changed like original vs this version of holy ground.
Ever since I started med school, everytime I study, on my 5 minutes breaks I always play this version of holy ground. It just makes me reset mentally and just chill. I’m about to finish my second year of med school and I still to this day play this almost daily. Can’t wait for speak now (Taylor’s Version) out July 7th.
If u don't anything try instead of cry go plogh and grow rice ploughing means to find books teacher and your self interspection is nice and work till sun rise in night
THE CHILLS WHEN SHE SANG : "Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you…"
First of all those back up singers deserve some credit; they sound great, their intonation and harmonies without dominating is legit so hard to do. Taylor sounds great too and this arrangement omg 😍
The maturity of her voice made the song even more beautiful. Wait for her re-recording album next year. To those doubting her success, just wait for that day.
1989 era "Holy Ground" was fast and she sounded like a rockstar! Lover era "Holy Ground" soft and she sounds like an angel! Edit: I know Holy Ground was from Red era...I meant 1989 Tour!
She’s a goddess! I mean, this performance doesn’t have multiple dancers, lights, or pizzazz, it’s just her playing the piano and singing beautifully. Even the backing vocals went perfectly, and when she started singing with them, I got goosebumps. Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s the music industry.
This reply is literally 9 months later, but Red is the first album that truly got be hooked as well! Speak Now was the first album I bought of hers and I liked songs from her first two, but it wasn’t until Red that I really realized how amazingly talented she is. I think State of Grace in particular did me in, that’s been one of my top favorite songs ever since I heard it
Taylor's vocals dramatically evolved in a very gorgeous manner. I can't wait for November 2020 when she can start re-recording all her songs from TS1 to TS6! Can you imagine??? ❤❤❤
Armando The Third only albums 1-5 cause reputation hasn't reached 5 years yet. Her contract states that she can only rerecord albums that spent 5 years
Instead of a dark room like they usually do for the BBC live lounge sessions, Taylor's set with that beautiful panoramic window is so light & bright filled with DAYLIGHT~ and the AFTERGLOW from the setting sun that shines on Taylor's face makes her look so radiant~
The fact that every song of hers is delicate to be played like this, in another style, in another version, especially if it’s only with piano, shows how genius she is.
@@maxjones9201 this album is amazing it beats red at least in production but not lyrically and lover is essentially the opposite of red in theme and feelings
How is it 2012 Taylor she's just performing a song from that time doesn't mean she's back she's stronger and different then how she was in 2012 just look at the way she stands up for herself now
This song and Red itself were recorded in 2011. Around the time Red was released she was moving towards 1989 because that's when she wrote 'This Love'.
Taylor may not be the best vocalist in terms of range and technique. But her ability to emote and articulate the lyrics, is unparalleled. I’ll listen to he r over any other vocal powerhouses.
Yes!!!! And I realized, since she does not have that very high range of voice, her songs are easy for people to sing even those with not-so-good voice, and we can focus more on the lyrics than the technicalities of vocal power blah blah
Lyrics : [Verse 1] I was reminiscing just the other day While having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme Took off faster than a green light, go Hey, you skip the conversation when you already know I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made And that was the first day [Chorus] And darling, it was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground [Verse 2] Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress We had this big wide city all to ourselves We blocked the noise with the sound of, "I need you" And for the first time, I had something to lose And I guess we fell apart in the usual way And the story's got dust on every page But sometimes, I wonder how you think about it now And I see your face in every crowd [Chorus] 'Cause darling, it was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground [Bridge] Tonight, I'm gonna dance For all that we've been through But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you Tonight, I'm gonna dance Like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you [Chorus] It was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground [Outro] Tonight, I'm gonna dance For all that we've been through But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you Tonight, I'm gonna dance Like you were in this room But I don't wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you

Best performance of Holy Ground in my opinion. I love it so much. Her voice , the backup singers, the piano, Taylor looking at us, how this is a slower pace than the studio version, and obviously the rest of her crew are amazing.
This version is: "I love you. That's why I let you go." Nostalgic sweetness and a twinge of pain but with an after taste of joy. Waking up early morning after a dream, the sun slowly rising. Relishing the memory when both of you would witness a new day together. An old photo album in an old armoire found after many years. Beautiful memories, haunting and feverish.
CAN'T WAIT FOR HER TO RERECORD ALL OF HER ALBUMS!!!

Both as epic as each other. ❤❤
Still very upset this version didn’t get a studio recording “from the vault” on Red Taylor’s Version so i can play it on Spotify 😖
you can still stream it here because it's licensed as "Holy Ground in the Live Lounge" so there's no money for scooter anyway
Yeah, this isn't support 🛴, it's a different version
This is literally the first time I'm hearing this song. Damn how gorgeous and haunting! I feel the same.

No need to “imagine” it. It’s gonna become true November, 2020. She’ll start re-recording her past albums (Self titled for reputation)
I’m sure we’ll get to when she records her albums again!
It’s crazy to hear this because the original is sooo fast
Valery Quiroz this version is such fresh air 💖
Valery Quiroz yesssss 😊🥰 Me too
The sign of a good song is it can be performed slow or fast. A songwriters dilemma is which to choose. Not my words this was a view by Neil Finn.
I know!! And I might like this version even better then the original

Her range is getting wider as well, try to sing all 6 songs she just performed, the low notes are low and the highs are actually quite high. And she keeps improving. She’s really really great. And I just love her tone, so soothing and beautiful.
ArtsyPutsy 👏🏻
Excuse me? I did not sign up to cry but I just love crying so thank you for reviving my Red feelings.
Where my RED Stans at?
I felt the same, I'm crying hard
My fav era so far❤️...but the Lover Era is proving to be serious competition😂
Imagine state of grace, treacherous, i almost do, sad beautiful tragic, and come back...be here with this voice? I'll probably play this album nonstop
It did!:) I hope you love it as much as I do.
One of my top songs from Red Album, it deserves more recognition.
Thanks Taylor for sharing this song even back in pre-reputation era, you’ve been playing this live ☺️😊
PREACH
I AGREE. I LOVE THIS SONG
It's always been one of my favourites.
I want THIS version when she re-records her music. WOW :D
what about both version .. rock and acoustic ..
@@cokolives this is not from lover?
@@yagmuryldrm8074 this is from red
Yağmur Yıldırım noooo
Emily Scott sameee
Imagine Cornelia street in this piano my goodness together with dancing with our hands tied, pop songs that deserve to be played in accoustic!!!!!!!!!
You mentioned DWOHT and my vision warped. That song is criminally underrated!
She just played this acoustic in Paris!
@@abdoeljouti6350 truee bro cornelia is one of my faves❤❤
OH MY GOD YOU HAVE SUPERIOR TASTE WIG
CORNELIA STREET
I hope Taylor re-records holy ground in this style. It’s incredible
Yes me too
I hope she keeps both! It's a nice shift in angle of reminiscing
Good news I'm from the future. Red Taylor's version will be on November 19
She won't . Because the re recordings are supposed to be sound as similar as possible to the originals
She’s not gonna make them sound that different unless it’s another version of the song cause then people would keep listening to the originals, which ruins the whole point
I've never appreciated Holy Ground this much until now.
same
so as the whole red album
SHT IMAGINE:
TEARDROPS OF MY GUITAR AND
WHITE HORSE
WITH THIS VOICE😍😍😭😭😭
DEAR FUCKING JOHN 😍
I can't wait. I love her old albums but some of the vocals are cringy.
We’ll be crying all over again 😂😂
😭😭😭
BREATHE
Her band, her background singers always seem proud of her.
Sometimes I feel like red lipstick was designed for Taylor Swift.
It was actually invented because of Taylor Swift
@@thebriancedric6052 really?

@@ΓιώργοςΛακαρδής why
@Miranda dead
The way she looks into the camera is amazing. It’s mesmerizing like she’s sitting right in front of you, and signing right to you
Dianna
I love the part in the end when she turns her head to the camera while singing "like you were in this room"
@@belhougoldenwind I GOT TO THAT PART WHEN I READ THIS
The original was perfect. Looking back fondly at a young love that came and went quickly but was amazing while it lasted. This is even more perfect. Like she’s longing to find that passion again with someone she’s been with for a really long time. So calm and tender. Her voice is stunning.
Just came here after seeing her perform this at the Eras Tour (piano surprise song, Tokyo N1). She sounded INCREDIBLE, I was absolutely blown away and immediately needed to find more acoustic versions of holy ground. I am begging/crying/praying that she will eventually bless us with some high quality recordings of more live Eras performances. Especially some of her acoustic/surprise song sets - those have had some of her best vocal performances to-date!!!
THIS ALBUM HAD GRAMMYS written ALL OVER IT! Freakin MASTERPIECE 💆
Aline Gonçalves this songs not from lover tho.. that’s awk
@@maddypugs6686 she meant Red was supposed to get a GRAMMY. Hence Holy Ground is a Grammy awarding song.
Maddypugs she wrote ‘had’ so yeah
MrsSparkler omg I’m an idiot I’m sorry
@@maddypugs6686 yeah, I meant her album "RED" should have won the Grammys 😊
I want this version of "Holy Ground". it is so heartbreaking and nostalgic.
You have it here
@@Evermore_13 but Spotify is the place to be🤣
@@katmichail13 you're right 😂😂😂
i forgot the original isnt this after hearing this. fearless rerecording was a more mature voice- but songs werent changed like original vs this version of holy ground.
Aahh this version of Holy Ground is right up there with All Too Well acoustic version and Out of the Woods Grammy Museum performance.
Finally!! Someone who appreciates the out of the woods performance! Its amazing god
What about the forever and always piano version! That hurt like hell
I love it too the out of the woods grammy
@@mylastaccountwassisterexpo5950 most people appreciate it more than the original song
I didn't understand how amazing Out of the Woods was until I heard the acoustic version. Now it's one of my favorites from that album.
Ever since I started med school, everytime I study, on my 5 minutes breaks I always play this version of holy ground. It just makes me reset mentally and just chill. I’m about to finish my second year of med school and I still to this day play this almost daily. Can’t wait for speak now (Taylor’s Version) out July 7th.
Relatable. I'm currently on break studying for my law subject
I can't believe i got this song as a surprise song in tokyo n1... im just so happy.
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON THE ALBUM PLEASE DO IT FOR ALL SONGS THEY SOUND SO GOOD I GOT CHILLS
This is from her red album wym?
Dayum Wayne she’s re-recording her old albums so that she can own them
@Angela Silva ooh make sense, fcj scooter anyways
IM BACK. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE GETTING 30 SONGS. I AM STILL HOPING SO HARD THAT SHE RELEASES THIS VERSION FOR THE RED ALBUM
If u don't anything try instead of cry go plogh and grow rice ploughing means to find books teacher and your self interspection is nice and work till sun rise in night
I have never cried listening to Holy Ground. Holy hell this was amazing! If this is a trailer to all the album re-recordings, TAKE MY MONEY!!
If Taylor did nothing OTHER than acoustic songs -- I would be HERE for ittttttt!
Yes yes yes!!!!
Yessssss
How about an entire album of just acoustic songs even if there new ones?
@@thehufflepuffhermione yesssss , i would really love that.
ID DIE IF ALL THE RERECORDED SONGS ARE ACOUSTIC IM SO HERE FOR IT
Such an overwhelming performance. She never disappoints.
Taylor NEEDS to do an all-acoustic of all of her previous songs!
THE CHILLS WHEN SHE SANG :
"Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you…"
WAIT, WHAT?! A LIVELY, UPBEAT SONG PERFORMED USING A PIANO?! THIS IS ONE OF HER BEST ACOUSTICS, EVER!
First of all those back up singers deserve some credit; they sound great, their intonation and harmonies without dominating is legit so hard to do. Taylor sounds great too and this arrangement omg 😍
Her “oh ay ohh oh” at 2:13 was so beautiful oh my gosh
So true😍😍😍
The maturity of her voice made the song even more beautiful. Wait for her re-recording album next year. To those doubting her success, just wait for that day.
1989 era "Holy Ground" was fast and she sounded like a rockstar!
Lover era "Holy Ground" soft and she sounds like an angel!
Edit: I know Holy Ground was from Red era...I meant 1989 Tour!
Holy ground was from the red era not 1989
Baby edit it
@@emilygreene5147 i meant 1989 tour! Sksks I know.
I knew what you meant. She didn’t sound like a rockstar on the red album, so clearly you meant 1989 tour ;-)
@@katbatson yeah...Red era was still Yeehaw Taylor!😂😂❤
She’s a goddess! I mean, this performance doesn’t have multiple dancers, lights, or pizzazz, it’s just her playing the piano and singing beautifully. Even the backing vocals went perfectly, and when she started singing with them, I got goosebumps. Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s the music industry.
Red is the album that got me hooked on to TS. The songs still linger. Deserved a Grammy for sure. This version is testament to that.
This reply is literally 9 months later, but Red is the first album that truly got be hooked as well! Speak Now was the first album I bought of hers and I liked songs from her first two, but it wasn’t until Red that I really realized how amazingly talented she is. I think State of Grace in particular did me in, that’s been one of my top favorite songs ever since I heard it
Me too, red is her first album that I listen to
Same
This is the Reason why i Love being a Swiftie over any other Fanbase.
Why do you hate James Charles?
Holy Ground finally gets the attention it deserves!
Its my favorite in Red!!! 😭
"Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme" I love this line so much...
Wow I'm in love with the backup singers! They're so beautiful! And their voices combined provided such an angelic tone!
Who Whaat they are called the “The Starlights”
Recall me of the Red Era - One of her best eras
Quốc Anh all of her era is best dude
@@AliAzimiofficial you just spilled the truth tho
That and Speak Now are the best!!!! Lover is getting up there too!!!
Quốc Anh yaas! My favorite Era 🥰
She literally nailed all of her eras
Can this version be added to spotify?
TELL ME WHEN IT HAPPENS AND WE CAN ADD THS VERSION TO SPOTIFY
YES PLS
Yes please😻👏🏼👏🏼
I wish! 😭
It will added to her re recording album.
Those backup singers are not only absolute heaven, but look so so so proud to be up there. Kudo's to them. (And Taylor, Always)
Taylor's vocals dramatically evolved in a very gorgeous manner. I can't wait for November 2020 when she can start re-recording all her songs from TS1 to TS6! Can you imagine??? ❤❤❤
Armando The Third only albums 1-5 cause reputation hasn't reached 5 years yet. Her contract states that she can only rerecord albums that spent 5 years
Instead of a dark room like they usually do for the BBC live lounge sessions, Taylor's set with that beautiful panoramic window is so light & bright filled with DAYLIGHT~ and the AFTERGLOW from the setting sun that shines on Taylor's face makes her look so radiant~
The fact that every song of hers is delicate to be played like this, in another style, in another version, especially if it’s only with piano, shows how genius she is.
"Away ,away,away" These angellic vocals took me to heaven.
2012 Taylor is back and I don't think any of us are ready
Ivana Biki I really don’t that 2012 Taylor is back, she’s showed glimpses of it but this album is not even close to being as good as Red
@@maxjones9201 this album is amazing it beats red at least in production but not lyrically and lover is essentially the opposite of red in theme and feelings
How is it 2012 Taylor she's just performing a song from that time doesn't mean she's back she's stronger and different then how she was in 2012 just look at the way she stands up for herself now
This song and Red itself were recorded in 2011. Around the time Red was released she was moving towards 1989 because that's when she wrote 'This Love'.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Taylor may not be the best vocalist in terms of range and technique. But her ability to emote and articulate the lyrics, is unparalleled. I’ll listen to he r over any other vocal powerhouses.
couldn't have said it better myself
Yes!!!! And I realized, since she does not have that very high range of voice, her songs are easy for people to sing even those with not-so-good voice, and we can focus more on the lyrics than the technicalities of vocal power blah blah
She sings with so much feeling.
This is so true
Yes and being able to convey the feeling and story of a song is what makes great singers, great. Isn’t that what music is all about after all?
Imagine enchanted or long live with this mature voice😭
well now that’s she’s re-recoding her albums 😭😭😭
Lyrics :
[Verse 1]
I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone, and Lord, it took me away
Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
Took off faster than a green light, go
Hey, you skip the conversation when you already know
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
And that was the first day
[Chorus]
And darling, it was good
Never looking down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground
[Verse 2]
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves
We blocked the noise with the sound of, "I need you"
And for the first time, I had something to lose
And I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
But sometimes, I wonder how you think about it now
And I see your face in every crowd
[Chorus]
'Cause darling, it was good
Never looking down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground
[Bridge]
Tonight, I'm gonna dance
For all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancing with you
Tonight, I'm gonna dance
Like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancing with you
[Chorus]
It was good
Never looking down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground
[Outro]
Tonight, I'm gonna dance
For all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancing with you
Tonight, I'm gonna dance
Like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancing with you
Tonight I’m gonna dance, for all that we’ve been through. ❤️
hello, you're cute!, bye. :)

How does this breaks my heart like All Too Well did 😭 Can't wait for Taylor to rerecord her past albums 😭💚💖
It breaks my heart too. 😭
The Live Lounge sound system / acoustics never fail to amaze.
Best performance of Holy Ground in my opinion. I love it so much. Her voice , the backup singers, the piano, Taylor looking at us, how this is a slower pace than the studio version, and obviously the rest of her crew are amazing.
Major props to the supporting vocalists they are amazing on this song
I love this version of Holy Ground sooooo much. I genuinely hope she chooses to record Holy Ground like this when she re-records her masters.
This is yet to be the best version of Holy Ground that I’ve heard. ♥️
this feels like a warm hug in fall
This version is:
"I love you. That's why I let you go."
Nostalgic sweetness and a twinge of pain but with an after taste of joy.
Waking up early morning after a dream, the sun slowly rising. Relishing the memory when both of you would witness a new day together.
An old photo album in an old armoire found after many years.
Beautiful memories, haunting and feverish.
Beautifully put. Also I love your profile picture btw. 😉
I wish I wasn't cutting onions.
OH my god as a person who can relate to holy ground... you made me tear up
You should be a writer
Love this
