      I’ve been listening to the EP a bunch but never saw the full video until today. The ending was spectacular, and gave me “words” to describe how significant a moment my wife had yesterday overcoming her anxiety was. Thanks for this - and I’ll wave when pass through Midland on Monday.

    I was on MSU campus when I happened to see a musician playing a show as I was walking toward my car. I stopped and enjoyed the show. Turned out, that artist was Michigander, and I've been following him ever since.
    Probably the coolest way I've ever been introduced to an artist. 😎

      You have a written gaurantee for that statement? It's a beautiful thing to think this way, as I try to always. But it doesn't always get better. Which sucks for I and millions more. But without Hope for this idea,,,, that things,,,, do in fact, get better, What else do we have? Faith helps, with that, it allows those with it, to pray for Love. Because when all the chips fall, without this, we have nothing.

      @@loveandlight8533 I wouldn’t have shared that if I hadn’t experienced it myself. I came out of a long period of depression. I couldn’t have done it w/ out the hope of things getting better. You mentioned a few key things that helped me: faith, hope, love and prayer. There’s no written guarantee that these things will make things better for you, or anyone else for that matter because at the end of day, you need to put in the effort to make it happen.

      @@jovanna1496 I need to apologize for that sounding a bit harsh to start. I myself live a life of depression, and recently diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Iymphoma, I was a tad angry that day. But I'm happy to say I slapped myself, and reminded myself I have choices. Choices abound! Anger/Love, Hate/Peace, Bitterness/giving back,,,, I chose that latter on all counts. I've chosen to find happiness in the smallest things in life. I'm a Spiritualist who very much believes in Karma, I don't believe in such a thing as a coincidence, but I'm having a very hard time trying to figure out, why would god give blood cancer, to a hospice nurse that devoted 30 years to helping people pass with dignity and respect, and as comfortable as absolutely possible. And opened the window to set their soul free. So I need an explanation. I've seen the ravages, I've seen straight clear into a beautiful young woman's body, quite literally. I comforted the husband's ,wives, children.....and why am I left at 47 with nobody that's going to be there for me, and that's the truth. So for my bitterness that day, I'm very sorry, as you are obviously a really sweet person with a great heart. I'm glad your feeling better, and I hope it continues, and that with faith, god gives you everything you deserve. Everyone deserves to be happy! Without music, I'm not sure where I'd be. It makes me realize that none of us are ever alone in our pain, nor our sorrows. The people you surround, I hope they realize how lucky they are. And thank you for calling me out, I truly appreciate it ❤️ Blessings of Love and Light 🧘

    [Verse 1]
    I'm not good at letting go
    I'm not good at letting go
    How I feel about you
    Oh how I feel about you
    I'm always looking at my phone
    Else we forget I'm all alone
    I'm always think about you
    And I can't live without you
    Anymore
    Oh
    [Verse 2]
    You're always scared of getting caught
    Always questioning your thoughts
    But you can't hide how you feel
    I wanna know how you feel
    Feels like time is moving quicker but I'm getting slower
    Guess that's just a part of getting older
    Wish I could look away
    [Chorus]
    'Cause life might be good
    But I wish that it would be better
    Just want to be better
    Want to be better
    'Cause you try to love me
    And I probably shouldn't let ya
    'Cause things would be better
    'Causе things would be better
    With you
    [Verse 3]
    I sidеline watching the sunrise
    Trading it for some shut-eye
    I'm not really sleeping these days
    I was lost, you were found
    You were bringing me down
    Just the thought of you it fills me out
    Think I'll stay home tonight
    [Chorus]
    'Cause life might be good
    But I wish that it would be better
    Just want to be better
    Want to be better
    'Cause you try to love me
    And I probably shouldn't let ya
    'Cause things would be better
    'Cause things would be better
    With you
    [Outro]
    Well I'm sorry that things didn't go your way
    But if everything goes sideways
    I'll be there to carry you
    Face your fears
    It's okay if you're feeling scared
    Just know that I will be there
    And you're gonna make it through
    Yeah you're gonna make it through

    Also, we've all been through a lot of crap but are still alive. If you ever feel down, just remember that you are NOT alone. Life can get pretty awful, I know that. I've lost people that I love, my job, and my home. But I've bounced back many times. Things always somehow seem to work out if you give it enough time! Stay active and be positive. You can will yourself better. You are loved.
