When my son was born I sung the song 'Light' by Sleeping At Last in my heart. He is now a 3 years old little beast. I strive to be a father who is worthy of the words "what a gift it is to be your child". I hope that one day, when his parents are no longer around he can play this song and remember how much we loved him.
I wish i could say that to my parents, but I can't. It's just, it doesn't seem right and good, and guilt free. Well, says a daughter who was called by her own mother of, "I wish you were never born", I bet no daughter or son would say something like, "I'm happy to be ur child", kinda laughable and heartbreaking at the same time though haha
@@jaissegobelyn9667 Oh yeah. My mother told us the same thousands of times. The really fucked up thing is that is her way of loving her children. She's just that toxic even her love is poison. But because of that hating her gives me weird feelings. Personally I never really got hurt by her words, but I have a much younger brother, and whenever she went on her rant about how we shold not have been born I wanted to crush kill and destroy. How can one say that to a beautiful, innocent little toddler?! I don't know how old are you, but once I hit 20 I moved out, hours away from her. I got to be my own person rather than my mother's child, and that was a great relief. I'll never forgive myself for leaving my baby brother there, and only visiting once in a couple of months, but it was either that or me ripping out my mother's spine one day. Consider starting a new life, far away, if you haven't already.
@@txdmsk i am planning to move. Already graduated. Yet, it's the constant threat and dependence gets me an invisible chains to be their prisoner. I can literally relate why other victims of criminals can't escape even they've got a thousand times of chance. But i know one day, I will.
@@jaissegobelyn9667 Yeah. Getting away is hard. For me it was hard to even do things that my parents thought was out of character for me according to their warped model of me. Don't overthink it. Draft a decent CV, start interviewing, and once you got the job just move there. Best of luck!
This was also my anthem when my first son was born. It was the song we listened to and sang every night at bedtime for the first 3/4 years of his life. He is now 8 and requests the song often. It's hard to put into words what the song really means to our family. I've got so much appreciation for Ryan's gift.
_Lyrics_ (This is such a beautiful place, this has got to be the closest thing to Heaven) A bright sunrise through shattered glass A fountain of youth slipping through the cracks I drag my feet through perfect sand Toward a future I no longer understand My daughter's collection of broken shells Teach me: I can still learn lessons if I let myself "I'll be alright, I'll be alright, I'll be alright" It's been a year at the mercy of a merciless tide But now we're here, clothes barely dry We return to the ocean one more time For you In the water We pay attention To one another In the water We remember That nothing, even death Lasts forever I want to swim, I want to swim, I want to try To trust in the mercy of the merciless tide My mother taught me all will be reconciled God, what a gift to be my mother's child I want to swim, I want to swim and close my eyes Be swept up in the mercy of the merciful tide My mother believed I will be reconciled God, what a gift to be my mother's child In the water We remember That nothing, even death Lasts forever
Losing my mother was the greatest pain I've ever felt. Even after 33 years, it still hurts and I miss her so much. Your songs are like a hug that hurts but also comforts.
I lost my mother just 5 months ago and until then I never thought being alive could hurt so much. She was my everything and losing her felt like a part of me was being shredded, reaped into pieces. Her presence somehow feels as fresh as her death in my mind and I cannot seem to grasp the fact that her absence is not temporary. My entire body and soul miss her so much, I constantly distract myself to avoid facing the bitter truth I already know deep inside. It burns the deepest corners of my soul and I find myself suffocating when I think about her. In my quest to avoid facing those painful thoughts, I'm afraid I'm blocking out all emotions and loosing myself in the process. It is exhausting to block the most important person of your life out of your conscious mind to lessen your suffering. It consumes me, yet I cannot seem to find the strength to face those emotions without breaking down. I don't know how ugly it is inside, nor how deep it goes so I'm afraid of opening the box. I'm scared of the pain, yet I'm also scared of missing out on many beautiful emotions because I'm constantly blocking everything out unconsciously. Like a dam retaining the tides, unable to differentiate the calm from the turbulent ones, and so retains them all. I feel empty, yet so full at the same time. Truth be told, I'm tired.
I’m so sorry for your losses. I lost my Mom two months ago and you articulate it so much than I can right now. Sending my love to you and to everyone going through this. Every part of me feels demolished
Lost my mother in 2021 when Covid was ravaging our country. Seems like yesterday and also so long ago. My mother took my soul with her when she left. I pray for your spirits. Maybe my soul will fly back to me again one day. The pain is like nothing I’d wish on another person. Blessings boys…
I hope someday when I'm gonna see her, I'll tightly hug her and tell her how hard this life was since the day you left us. Thank you maa for being my mother. F... you Cancer.
I hope that your mother can hear these songs in heaven. Just know that your music brings healing, hope, and light to so many people in these dark times. And your mother is a huge part of you and a huge part of the gift that you are to the world.

Thank you so much for this. I lost my Mom two months ago and I haven’t found words to describe this pain… I’m sorry you’re going through this anguish too. ❤ Sending love and strength to you and to everyone reading this
Almost a year ago my father feel through the garage roof and can no longer walk. The last time we saw each other before the accident was on a family boating trip. We used to go boating all the time but I've never set foot on one after that day. But today he told me we might try again this week. After feeling like I've been in limbo for a year this song really set in mind what evolution has taken place in my family. I can't wait to get back out there. God bless ❤
I know this song is for all the mothers in the world- but to those whos mothers arent there for them i extend out to you trying your best to learn from the experience. A place of solace to those who cant call their mother a "mother"
every day we stray further away from songs with heart that truly reach our soul - you somehow manage to produce the most beautiful pieces and keep music alive
Dude I hope you know how special you are and how absolutely amazing it is that you have let God use you to help light up such a dark and ugly world. I will pray that your heart maintains its course and maybe one day i"ll have the privilege of meeting you in heaven and sharing with you just how profound and significant the effect your music had on me truly was!

Your music never fails to make me tear up and connect to my inner feelings and self. I feel as if my inner child is healed by you.
👏👏
Frrrr
Oh. My. Goodness.

Is this a quote from somewhere? I can’t seem to find it 🙏🏼

(This is such a beautiful place, this has got to be the closest thing to Heaven)
A bright sunrise through shattered glass
A fountain of youth slipping through the cracks
I drag my feet through perfect sand
Toward a future I no longer understand
My daughter's collection of broken shells
Teach me: I can still learn lessons if I let myself
"I'll be alright, I'll be alright, I'll be alright"
It's been a year at the mercy of a merciless tide
But now we're here, clothes barely dry
We return to the ocean one more time
For you
In the water
We pay attention
To one another
In the water
We remember
That nothing, even death
Lasts forever
I want to swim, I want to swim, I want to try
To trust in the mercy of the merciless tide
My mother taught me all will be reconciled
God, what a gift to be my mother's child
I want to swim, I want to swim and close my eyes
Be swept up in the mercy of the merciful tide
My mother believed I will be reconciled
God, what a gift to be my mother's child
In the water
We remember
That nothing, even death
Lasts forever

I truly cannot express my love for this song. It just fills me with a sense of peace, passion, and joy😊
😢the emotions which arise, like an oceans rising tide, or a past walk on sand, or swim. This song is beautifully sad. Rest in peace, Momma.
Thank you for this beautiful music, you never disappoint
This literally made me cry my bulbs off 😢 what an agonising beauty 💔
