I'm sitting here crying for no reason. Tears streaming down my face and I don't know anyone that had dementia or Alzheimer's or even had to take care of anyone in that situation. I felt every line. Jon you are a genius and your mom a hero.
"conversations with the devil and he's tellin me: whats the point of makin memories when you cant even find them when you're seventy? Conversations with my father and he's tellin me: there's a point in makin memories cuz they'll be even better when we're heavenly." looooooove that
@@LordDRockMusic why u gotta ruin it? It just feels good to listen to his music, you can imagine an other place or feeling in every song. So yes, for me it takes me to an other place.
It's very rare that you find a song that is even close to your own experiences. However, this song describes exactly 7 years of my own life. I drove an hour just about every other weekend for those 7 years to watch my mom see her mom just to say hi again as though she was saying hi for the first time in years. In the last few years of my grandma's life she descended pretty far into her dementia, but my mom never acted like it meant anything less than everything. She was seeing her mom again and it didn't matter if she didn't remember the last 200 weekends.
My mother and I moved in with my grandmother when our house burned down from an electrical fire in 2012. She let everyone into her home and cooked a huge lunch every day she could. Over the years her dementia got worse and my mother and I took care of her until the very end. She passed away this year at 81 years old and I miss her every day. She was always telling me how proud she was of her grandson. I cooked all the meals she made because I loved to watch her in the kitchen. I can't listen to this song without crying because my grandmother was a godly woman, and I can't thank her enough for everything she did for our family. She kept us together. She kept us safe. She's in our hearts now.
My son would listen to this song often as part of his playlist. I couldn’t deal with listening to it, even though I liked it, because I was so worried that soon I would end up being in his (Jon’s)position. Sadly a few years later, that’s what happened. My beautiful, strong, highly intelligent, kind grandmother who was the rock of our family got dementia at around 94. Because of that and a few physical problems she had to leave the home she loved and go to a nursing home she hated because we couldn’t take care of everything she needed ourselves at home. Everyday she asked to go home. It was heartbreaking. For over a year my family watched that beautiful woman deteriorate mentally, physically and emotionally. It was much more than crushing. Every day my mom would drive over to the nursing home and visit with her mother for hours. She would help feed her, she would help the nurses get her in and out of the bed, she would clean her up when she had an accident, help change her clothes etc. My mother would sit with her for hours, talking to her, even on the days when my grandmother didn’t make any sense, on the days she was lashing out( which is something she would normally never ever do, that was the dementia), if my grandmother was in pain or was sleeping so hard you couldn’t wake her up, my mother was still there. Her brother, my grandmother’s son, and his wife also came every day and did so much for her. On Feb 2, this year 2024, the day before my granddaughter turned 2 years old, my precious grandmother went to Heaven to be with my grandfather. I’m so thankful she is not suffering anymore but I miss her so very much. It still hurts so so much. We all love you so much Grandmommie and Papa❤
Jon, I'm not an English native (sorry for mistakes), so i listened to this couple of times cause im your huge fan and i just loved the melody but then i finally saw the lyrics... I was never ready for the way it hits me. I have tears in my eyes while writing this comment... Three months ago my beloved grandma passed away. Last months or even years her dementia was getting worse to the point she even couldn't remember our visit hours after we left her home. All this time, my mom had to deal with all of this, constantly taking care of her, travelling to the other side of the country whenever she could, dealing with lots of difficulties while barely managing mentally. My mom used to call my grandma everyday, unfortunately one day in September grandma didn't pick up the phone... Jon, I'm so thankful for this song, i will frame your lyrics and give it to my mom for Christmas :) If anyone is reading my comment, please go call your grandma and hold your mom tight if you can, you all deserve it.
Im so sorry nobody commented but im not an emotional person but, you got me in tears... Your Grandmother is in a better place with the Lord. -praying for you
I would 100% call my grandmother, but she passed away when I was just 12, I attended her funeral, listened to my brother play his violin, watched my mother cry for months. although I wouldn't say I had as bad of an experience as you, she didn't have dementia, and she was mentally "there", although she did lose a leg in a car crash which had it's part in her passing. I loved her as well as my grandfather who passed when I was 15 who was in great condition as well (I only ever had 2 grandparents). but I loved my grandmother, sometimes more than myself. I wish some of these people were still here, but at the root of it; I'm not an emotional person at all, I haven't cried since I was probably 9, and my grandmother's passing hadn't even gotten me to think about crying. I've been constructed [almost synthetically] so there's no emotions to stop me from continuing any process I am doing, so asking me for emotional support, or help with the coping of the passing of a loved one isn't very useful. all I can do is hope for the best for you. that comment is very nice, if Jon saw it, he would be very appreciative, I would know, my dad is very good friends with his father, and they play golf on a regular basis, so I know that Jon is a great person, and he would be extremely polite, sweet, and helpful if you ever met him on the streets or somewhere, have a good one
@@alonebysunset I feel You. Actually, when I heard that my grandma passed away, I was really rational and peaceful, to the point I blamed myself for nor crying. Her last months we lived with the awareness of this could be happening any time. Also, I met my grandma two weeks before her passing away. Had a feeling to come over for a coffee and see how she's doing. We talked with her (me and my brother) and in the end she looked at us and said "how handsome my grandsons are" and she was happy. That's my last memory of her. These two things made me ready for it. She's in a better place, especially considering the covid right now. What hit me with tears was something else. It's the fact, that my favorite artist, from the other side of the planet, made a song about something so real for me. Time has passed, I showed my mom the lyrics and her reaction: "that's how it was, that's how it felt" Thanks Luke, wish you all the best. Live goes on :)
“When my mother... was a mother” Those lines hit so hard. I’m so thankful that Jon wrote something so personal and sincere like this. When the brass hits right after “For the mother’s who are with us physically”, it breaks me bit by bit. And I’m so in love with how it sounds like a dance party right after. Almost as if a celebration of mother’s, living and passed. I dream of using this song one day at my wedding, to celebrate my mother and every mother there for their sacrifices and love. But I’ll forever love how personal this song feels because of how much I sense I relate to it. Thank you Mr. Bellion
The ending was a tribute to the mothers who are with us spiritually and that instrumental almost had me in tears and I haven’t cried in years when my mother passed when I was 8 from cancer it was devastating and I was crying so much and I didn’t want to cry anymore and went into an emotional numbness which I’m still in today 6 years later so when he made that ending for the mothers who are with us spiritually and it almost made me cry blew my mind
Hearing the strings mixed with the synths at the end is just pure passion. Jon is truly an underrated producer, and this song is proof that his ability is absolutely stellar.
My brother showed me this the other day and it literally brought tears to my eyes, our grandma is starting to show signs like forgetting where she is and more. It’s sad but it is what it is and nobody can change it. But gladly I know she has a spot in heaven waiting for her.
Let this be the year Jon gets to show his talent more widely to the world. I’ll always be rooting for you, Mr. Bellion. Sincerely, A dedicated and appreciative fan.
Hey Jon, I know this will never be seen from you. I do want to share this with all of you reading. My mom took care of my grandma ever since I was born (I’m 21) they were best friends and she was my best friend (My mom) My mom was a single mother taking care of 4 children and her grandparents. She did it all and I’m blessed to have had her. She passed away unexpectedly this year in March. I bawl my eyes every single time this song comes on. I miss her daily. Thank you Jon for this master piece. This year has been the hardest on my life. I’ve struggled with depression and suicide thoughts. This album has helped a lot and so has this song. “For the mothers who are with us spiritually” gets me every single time. I can’t wait for the day to see my mom face to face again. Thank you.
My grandmother passed in February. She didn’t have Alzheimer’s but she has metastatic melanoma that took over her brain and warped her reality and memories. In a matter of 2 weeks she was gone. I got to watch and help my mom care for her. This song hits soul deep. Thank you for giving my pain recognition without evening knowing.
I am literally bawling my eyes out. My grandfather has Alzheimer’s and he doesn’t remember who I am , my mom , sisters , cousins, or his own children it’s always so sad to see him. I totally relate to this, my grandmother also had demensia and didn’t remember us, sadly she became brain dead and passed away 2 years ago, but my grandfather is still with us physically not mentally though. Thank u for making this, me and my sisters and parents are bawling. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭
The most simple yet profound reflection on this bombshell of a topic! Continually amazed by Jon's ability to articulate these topics in artistically legendary ways.
Mama has been sick, I was thinking I don't have a heart to feel, but when I just heard this song I, a part that says tell you mother you love her, I got goosebumps.......Jon you're best in our Age, God bless you bellion
My son just sent this song to me and I'm bawling cause I took care of my mom before she passed. I FEEL this song and its beautiful! I love you mom and I love you Jake!!!
The fact that he knew what he was doing with this album is so incredible and powerful. The greatness of his connection to God that allowed him the ability to share with us this song NOW shows there will be better things to come. And I am so thankful God gave Jon the talent to do so.
Never expected this song to become so real to me but after watching my dad put his heart and soul into looking after his mum’s (my grandmother) dementia got worse this song became so very personal for me
Verse 1] Been watching you for months and I'm tryin' to find a way now To tell you what I'm seeing, it's heavy on my brain now It's only moving faster, you're only sinking farther I see it in your eyes now, it's only getting harder [Chorus] And there's a house she doesn't know that you take care of There's a light she doesn't know that you keep on There's a "sorry" that you faked to keep her happy When she thinks she hasn't seen you in so long There are things that she's not able to remember So I took tonight to put it in a song That when she meets God, He'll tell her all about it When my mother was a mother to her mom [Verse 2] Conversations with the Devil and he's telling me What's the point in making memories when you can't even find 'em when you're 70? Conversations with my Father and he's telling me There's a point in making memories 'cause they'll be even better when we're heavenly [Chorus] There's a house she doesn't know that you take care of There's a light she doesn't know that you keep on There's a "sorry" that you faked to keep her happy When she thinks she hasn't seen you in so long There are things that she's not able to remember So I took tonight to put it in a song That when she meets God, He'll tell her all about it When my mother was a mother When my mother was a mother When my mother was a mother to her mom [Interlude] For the mothers who are with us physically Physically [Bridge] Mama, mama Mama, mama, mama Mama, mama Mama, mama Mama, mama Mama, mama, mama Mama [Interlude] Yeah, oh We doin' it for our mama's mama's mama Give it up y'all for the mothers Oh, oh, haha Oh, come on Tell your mama you love her Yeah, uh, ooh Yeah, woo, yeah [Outro] Mama, mama Mama, mama, mama Mama, mama Mama, mama, mama Tell your mama you love her Mama, mama Tell your mama you love her Mama, mama, mama Mama, mama Mama, mama Mama, mama Mama, mama, mama Mama, mama, oh For the mothers who are with us spiritually
this song is filled with emotion, the beginning is sad. at 1:16 i start getting goosebumps. at 1:28 my eyes start to sweat a little. at 2:49 the song makes me think i'm literally in pixar movie with a great ending where were all dancing feasting and eat great food. at 5:00 it feels like the great moment has come to an end and i'm dragged into heaven while jon's voice in the background. at 5:20 he's comforting me not to worry. at 6:30 he tells me to look down, beyond the clouds where i'm currently at and see what great memories I've had. So at 7:00 the Party just starts over again and were exploring heaven and continue the party. anyone agree? Okey drop a like (:
My Granny came to live with us when I was about 14. She stayed with us for about two and a half years.. She lived with us for about 4 years. That was 18 years ago. This song dug out emotions that I forgot that I had. Thank you.
I'm in awe. The music takes you through the stages. Love the brass...reminds me of the traditional New Orleans 2nd line celebrating a life. The amazing lyrics compliment the instruments perfectly. What an emotional journey all wrapped up in a phenomenal song.
I am forever grateful for this song. On this day the album came out, Nov 9th, 2018, my dad's birthday, and the day that his mom passed from her battle with Alzheimer's. I will never forget getting the call that she was dying and only had hours left if that, while I was driving home from work and this song came on after I hung up the phone. Unreal. Thank you for your healing music, Jon.
My grandma passed 2021 from Alzheimer’s, it’s such an ugly disease. It strips everything from you, even the memories. This song just hits every raw emotion from that.
The first time I listened to this, I had just started a Jon Bellion radio, and I had to stop what I was doing because I started crying at the end of the second verse. Perfect way to start my morning...
Thank you Jon Bellion and his team to produce this heavenly beautiful tune that make us come to lives. I cried so hard reminiscing all of the memories that me and my family had and it hit me so hard that I crumbled during this precious 8 minutes of my life and I appreciate it from the very deep down of my heart. Jon is for sure an angel sent from heaven for us to connect our hearts to the heaven. We love you Jon!
After I shared this video with my mom, this is the exact text I sent to her: You’re welcome. It reminds me of the time you took with your Mom. The lyrics are symbiotic to the composition. The first part being sad and slow, like grief, and the second part joyful, and upbeat, like ascension. It’s really deep. I’ll share a couple more of his that we like with you, I miss you mom. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Lost my grandmother “Mamaw” to dementia two days ago. This is hitting harder now than ever 😓😭 it’s AGONIZING TORTURE for the elderly affected and the family who have to watch theme fade. I have peace that she’s whole and healed in heaven though. It hurts like hell but she’s on the better side of this now 😔💔💔💔
In October of last year, I was told I am showing signs of early onset dementia. I was about to turn 40. I took the news hard (of course) and sharing with my family yielded various responses, some very negative. My kids were also devastated but my oldest, who was diagnosed as high functioning autistic didn't say anything at all. Not because he's non-verbal (he's extremely talkative lol), but because he sometimes needs a while to process his thoughts. Months later, while out with my kids and their friends, we took turns playing music and he asked if he could play a song. I said "of course". The music came on and the vibe was so mellow compared to what had been playing. And the more I listened to it, the tears just ran down my face. All the teens got quiet. I drove in silence, weeping at my son's courage to share his feelings with me in front of all the other kids, but even more so that he chose to do so in such a beautiful way. I felt everything he wanted to say to me. I looked at him in the rear view mirror, and saw his tears. When the song ended, I pulled over and hugged him so tightly. He thought the song made me sad, but it did the complete opposite. It made me feel so loved. I can't listen without crying but I listen every chance I get! He said he was happy I liked it, even though it was a little sad to think about what might happen later. All I know is, this is the song my son chose to show me understood and loved me... Thank you, for such a beautiful song!
Reminds me of "Lost in the World" concluding the album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." It's an honest and revealing side of Jon being shown through this album, and this ending was perfect. It's a celebration for just being and living, despite what we may lose along the way. Though I may not be a Christian, I can feel the emotion he exudes through his production and lyrics and I myself can't help but cry to the lines "There's a point in making memories, 'Cause they'll be even better when we're heavenly." I can touch the love and care he gives off through this song; it's inspirational. I only hope and dream of being able to reach his level of artistry in my future. Thank you Jon for your honesty, your art, your passion, and the beauty you bring into the world.
Wow Jon belion used to be my favorite singer I still have the whole human condition album in my phone haven’t listened to you in a while but one day I will go to one of your concerts
My Grandma passed away last week. My uncle has been taking care of her the last 1.5 years visiting everyday as her dementia has significantly worsened. This song just breaks me down. Can't get through it without sobbing. Thanks for articulating an experience not many have to go through so well. Breaks my heart but the instrumentals really brighten up my life in the ladder half the song and give me a sense of hope. Thanks Jon.
I learned today that my grandmother probably has less than a month to live from the dementia and Alzheimer's slowly eating away at her, this song has helped me through some tough times and even with the tears blocking my eyes, I'm still smiling because I know she'll be in a better place and she'll be happy again. Thank you Jon, I love you for this one man.
thank the mix and mastering engineer also, he did what song needs! great album in my lifetime and i feel giving him a grammy is a shame because grammy is nothing in front of music and the love we show on him. Bro i really love you! when i make song i feel people dont like much variations because market doesnt care what your musical feelings are and i feel you showed its wrong! Respect Sir
That crazy moment when you feel like she's talking to you from heaven, idk why i just found this song but it definitely brought some peace during a much needed time.
Wow. This song is so musically perfect I'm blown away. Especially to have Quincy Jones on this?! Mad respect Jon... you outdid yourself with this track.
Jim Rohn, Les Brown, and Tony Robbins are wonderful places to find encouragement and build self awareness. Enjoy the new album, of course. Time away from home base is challenging but if we find our place in life it can lighten that feeling of being homesick, not being home to support those we love most, etc. Best of luck!
I love Jon's music because he knows how to hit that soft spot in everyone's heart and makes people rethink life and what we're doing with it not just that he never lies in his music his music is always true and he knows what to say that's why his music is the best out there and its amazing. I really hope he makes more because there no music like Jon's music.
I was recently diagnosed with early onset dementia. I just turned 40. My 17 year old son (who is high functioning autistic) has not expressed much, how this made him feel. But yesterday, he asked me if he could play a song for me, no context. I eagerly listened, because we were jamming out in the car... But I was brought to tears. I had to pull over and hug him, just hold him. I only hope to hold onto as much as I can for as long as I can, for my children 🥺💜
Being a CNA and Hospice CNA For 11 and 1/2 years and seeing and caring for my Father as He passed and Taking in my own mom this song makes me feel like Flying 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Brother
Coversations with my wife, to now the devil and his father. Everyone talks about how “hand of god” wraps up the entire album. But has anyone realized how he wrapped up this ending instrumentally? You can hear sounds from other songs in “Mah’s joint”, as well as all throughout the album. He truly is amazing.
Jon Bellion you sir are a beautiful human and I appreciate your work and you lift me everyday. My girlfriend and I have been listening to you since we lived in Washington in my car. I pray the lord lifts us and takes care of us through such a beautiful life. Thanks for shedding light in a world so dark and cold, you the man!
I'm sitting here crying for no reason. Tears streaming down my face and I don't know anyone that had dementia or Alzheimer's or even had to take care of anyone in that situation. I felt every line. Jon you are a genius and your mom a hero.
And now Quincy Jones is with us spiritually. Rest Easy King!

Sorry about that man. Hope you're doing well

Can we get this man a Grammy so that fans of other artists can complain that their fave didn't win?
He's already won a grammy when he wrote the hook on "the monster" for emiem.
@@DaroAhD I meant more along the lines of him winning a Grammy for his own album

In let’s begin I thought he said no.

But I’ll forever love how personal this song feels because of how much I sense I relate to it. Thank you Mr. Bellion
The ending was a tribute to the mothers who are with us spiritually and that instrumental almost had me in tears and I haven’t cried in years when my mother passed when I was 8 from cancer it was devastating and I was crying so much and I didn’t want to cry anymore and went into an emotional numbness which I’m still in today 6 years later so when he made that ending for the mothers who are with us spiritually and it almost made me cry blew my mind
I heard this while I was getting out of the shower. I'm moisturizing and crying at the same time
Bduh just how I feel every time I listen to it
2:35 "The Core Is An Instrumantal And You Think Its Odd? I Don't Need To Give You Lyrics Cause I Know Its God"
jesper nytun bro thats the first thing i thought when i heard this
jesper nytun waitttt what’s the songs name?
jesper nytun nvm aha, luxury
That’s why I get emotional when the chorus drops.
Para pa pa ram pa pa pa Pam Pam...
Luxury👍
Hearing the strings mixed with the synths at the end is just pure passion. Jon is truly an underrated producer, and this song is proof that his ability is absolutely stellar.
The way he mixes those sounds is just marvelous ♥ I love it
Isabel Lopez Fabelaa the humming!!
@@blueso5351 that's one of those haha I loved it🙌
The ending is probably one of the best closures to a song/album ever
I love Hand of God but this might be Jon's best...feels like you're ascending through space to heaven
This song hits home, man. Thank you... It's good to know we aren't alone. Much Love and God Bless. May you and your family be well.
Emotional journey the full way through, love ya Jon.
My brother showed me this the other day and it literally brought tears to my eyes, our grandma is starting to show signs like forgetting where she is and more. It’s sad but it is what it is and nobody can change it. But gladly I know she has a spot in heaven waiting for her.
Let this be the year Jon gets to show his talent more widely to the world. I’ll always be rooting for you, Mr. Bellion.
Sincerely,
A dedicated and appreciative fan.
I'm not gonna cry!
I'm not gonna cry!!
I'm nuhhhhhhh *drenched in tears*
Hey Jon, I know this will never be seen from you. I do want to share this with all of you reading. My mom took care of my grandma ever since I was born (I’m 21) they were best friends and she was my best friend (My mom) My mom was a single mother taking care of 4 children and her grandparents. She did it all and I’m blessed to have had her. She passed away unexpectedly this year in March. I bawl my eyes every single time this song comes on. I miss her daily. Thank you Jon for this master piece. This year has been the hardest on my life. I’ve struggled with depression and suicide thoughts. This album has helped a lot and so has this song. “For the mothers who are with us spiritually” gets me every single time. I can’t wait for the day to see my mom face to face again. Thank you.
My grandmother passed in February. She didn’t have Alzheimer’s but she has metastatic melanoma that took over her brain and warped her reality and memories. In a matter of 2 weeks she was gone. I got to watch and help my mom care for her. This song hits soul deep. Thank you for giving my pain recognition without evening knowing.
I am literally bawling my eyes out. My grandfather has Alzheimer’s and he doesn’t remember who I am , my mom , sisters , cousins, or his own children it’s always so sad to see him. I totally relate to this, my grandmother also had demensia and didn’t remember us, sadly she became brain dead and passed away 2 years ago, but my grandfather is still with us physically not mentally though. Thank u for making this, me and my sisters and parents are bawling. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭
I am happy and I am crying😭❤

the music is magical but the lyrics in the beginning is soo dark. everything about it is so overwhelming :/
@@RamkumarieRamdass IKR!!!!
I second that
The most simple yet profound reflection on this bombshell of a topic! Continually amazed by Jon's ability to articulate these topics in artistically legendary ways.
An instrumental masterpiece...
She’s smiling down on you from a better place Jon. You and your loved ones are in my prayers❤️
I've never cried at a song before. Thanks for the first time, Jon.
Mama has been sick, I was thinking I don't have a heart to feel, but when I just heard this song I, a part that says tell you mother you love her, I got goosebumps.......Jon you're best in our Age, God bless you bellion
My son just sent this song to me and I'm bawling cause I took care of my mom before she passed. I FEEL this song and its beautiful! I love you mom and I love you Jake!!!
*casually wipes tears and checks to see if anyone noticed*
Facts that I'm living...
I swear to god
The fact that he knew what he was doing with this album is so incredible and powerful. The greatness of his connection to God that allowed him the ability to share with us this song NOW shows there will be better things to come. And I am so thankful God gave Jon the talent to do so.
Never expected this song to become so real to me but after watching my dad put his heart and soul into looking after his mum’s (my grandmother) dementia got worse this song became so very personal for me
Verse 1]
Been watching you for months and I'm tryin' to find a way now
To tell you what I'm seeing, it's heavy on my brain now
It's only moving faster, you're only sinking farther
I see it in your eyes now, it's only getting harder
[Chorus]
And there's a house she doesn't know that you take care of
There's a light she doesn't know that you keep on
There's a "sorry" that you faked to keep her happy
When she thinks she hasn't seen you in so long
There are things that she's not able to remember
So I took tonight to put it in a song
That when she meets God, He'll tell her all about it
When my mother was a mother to her mom
[Verse 2]
Conversations with the Devil and he's telling me
What's the point in making memories when you can't even find 'em when you're 70?
Conversations with my Father and he's telling me
There's a point in making memories 'cause they'll be even better when we're heavenly
[Chorus]
There's a house she doesn't know that you take care of
There's a light she doesn't know that you keep on
There's a "sorry" that you faked to keep her happy
When she thinks she hasn't seen you in so long
There are things that she's not able to remember
So I took tonight to put it in a song
That when she meets God, He'll tell her all about it
When my mother was a mother
When my mother was a mother
When my mother was a mother to her mom

Hands down masterpiece. I love my mama ❤️❤️❤️
Grandma is passing away soon and for the past several months i see my mother gather supernatural strength to tend my grandma, God bless our moms
this song is filled with emotion, the beginning is sad. at 1:16 i start getting goosebumps. at 1:28 my eyes start to sweat a little. at 2:49 the song makes me think i'm literally in pixar movie with a great ending where were all dancing feasting and eat great food. at 5:00 it feels like the great moment has come to an end and i'm dragged into heaven while jon's voice in the background. at 5:20 he's comforting me not to worry. at 6:30 he tells me to look down, beyond the clouds where i'm currently at and see what great memories I've had. So at 7:00 the Party just starts over again and were exploring heaven and continue the party. anyone agree? Okey drop a like (:
My Granny came to live with us when I was about 14. She stayed with us for about two and a half years.. She lived with us for about 4 years. That was 18 years ago.
This song dug out emotions that I forgot that I had. Thank you.
RIP goat
I'm in awe. The music takes you through the stages. Love the brass...reminds me of the traditional New Orleans 2nd line celebrating a life. The amazing lyrics compliment the instruments perfectly. What an emotional journey all wrapped up in a phenomenal song.
I am forever grateful for this song. On this day the album came out, Nov 9th, 2018, my dad's birthday, and the day that his mom passed from her battle with Alzheimer's. I will never forget getting the call that she was dying and only had hours left if that, while I was driving home from work and this song came on after I hung up the phone. Unreal. Thank you for your healing music, Jon.
1 second into the song
Me: THIS IS IT! THE SONG OF THE YEAR!!!
My grandma passed 2021 from Alzheimer’s, it’s such an ugly disease. It strips everything from you, even the memories.
This song just hits every raw emotion from that.
Jon ..welcome back...how we've missed you
..lately we been missing real music too so thank you--beautiful as always
He knows how to serve your Heart out!!!❤
I'm going through the same thing with my grandmother on my mom's side with dementia. Thank you for this, even though I'm sobbing
How is He not on the Billboard
The first time I listened to this, I had just started a Jon Bellion radio, and I had to stop what I was doing because I started crying at the end of the second verse. Perfect way to start my morning...
Thank you Jon Bellion and his team to produce this heavenly beautiful tune that make us come to lives. I cried so hard reminiscing all of the memories that me and my family had and it hit me so hard that I crumbled during this precious 8 minutes of my life and I appreciate it from the very deep down of my heart. Jon is for sure an angel sent from heaven for us to connect our hearts to the heaven. We love you Jon!
Rest in peace Quincy Jones.
After I shared this video with my mom, this is the exact text I sent to her:
You’re welcome. It reminds me of the time you took with your Mom.
The lyrics are symbiotic to the composition. The first part being sad and slow, like grief, and the second part joyful, and upbeat, like ascension. It’s really deep.
I’ll share a couple more of his that we like with you, I miss you mom.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
As the 100th comment... i just wanna say this album is 100/100.... Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
Dara O. 100%
♡♡♡ What a great Friday in the hands of god.
❤️
A lot of people have older artists when it comes to people who inspired one’s sound. However Jon is easily one of my inspirations
5 years later and I still think this is one of the greatest songs of all time. Insane
this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. It makes me cry like nothing else, I've had this on repeat for hours
This is literally 3 songs in one. Thank you so much Jon for blessing us with this masterpiece of an album.
This song is a beautiful tribute and journey through some very significant and sorrowful times...well done, deeply moving!
Lost my grandmother “Mamaw” to dementia two days ago. This is hitting harder now than ever 😓😭 it’s AGONIZING TORTURE for the elderly affected and the family who have to watch theme fade. I have peace that she’s whole and healed in heaven though. It hurts like hell but she’s on the better side of this now 😔💔💔💔
this is a masterpiece worth of waiting for 2 years
welcome back jonbellion
Could you imagine getting to heaven and gods just like "check ur grandson out, he made this for you. People love it." Wild.
This brought me tears
This gets me through every Mother’s Day.
In October of last year, I was told I am showing signs of early onset dementia. I was about to turn 40. I took the news hard (of course) and sharing with my family yielded various responses, some very negative. My kids were also devastated but my oldest, who was diagnosed as high functioning autistic didn't say anything at all. Not because he's non-verbal (he's extremely talkative lol), but because he sometimes needs a while to process his thoughts. Months later, while out with my kids and their friends, we took turns playing music and he asked if he could play a song. I said "of course". The music came on and the vibe was so mellow compared to what had been playing. And the more I listened to it, the tears just ran down my face. All the teens got quiet. I drove in silence, weeping at my son's courage to share his feelings with me in front of all the other kids, but even more so that he chose to do so in such a beautiful way. I felt everything he wanted to say to me. I looked at him in the rear view mirror, and saw his tears. When the song ended, I pulled over and hugged him so tightly. He thought the song made me sad, but it did the complete opposite. It made me feel so loved. I can't listen without crying but I listen every chance I get! He said he was happy I liked it, even though it was a little sad to think about what might happen later. All I know is, this is the song my son chose to show me understood and loved me... Thank you, for such a beautiful song!
Nah uh, this song gets me every time man.
These transitions are just perfect
Anyone else notices how Jon Bellion's songs are best enjoyed using earphones? Feels so intimate... giving you the feels.
Going through a lot, no better time to revisit my favorite album of all time
Happy to say this is still my favorite album
Jon bellion has too be the most genuinely talented human being in the planet
The segment at 2:48 is so amazing. This song gives you a mix of so many emotions. Jon Bellion is a musical genius!
*Jon Bellion uses Mah's Joint!*
*the opponent cries!*
Reminds me of "Lost in the World" concluding the album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." It's an honest and revealing side of Jon being shown through this album, and this ending was perfect. It's a celebration for just being and living, despite what we may lose along the way. Though I may not be a Christian, I can feel the emotion he exudes through his production and lyrics and I myself can't help but cry to the lines "There's a point in making memories, 'Cause they'll be even better when we're heavenly." I can touch the love and care he gives off through this song; it's inspirational. I only hope and dream of being able to reach his level of artistry in my future. Thank you Jon for your honesty, your art, your passion, and the beauty you bring into the world.
Wow Jon belion used to be my favorite singer I still have the whole human condition album in my phone haven’t listened to you in a while but one day I will go to one of your concerts
My Grandma passed away last week. My uncle has been taking care of her the last 1.5 years visiting everyday as her dementia has significantly worsened. This song just breaks me down. Can't get through it without sobbing. Thanks for articulating an experience not many have to go through so well. Breaks my heart but the instrumentals really brighten up my life in the ladder half the song and give me a sense of hope. Thanks Jon.
2 years. Could not have paid off more, the outcome is worth so much more than the wait.
I learned today that my grandmother probably has less than a month to live from the dementia and Alzheimer's slowly eating away at her, this song has helped me through some tough times and even with the tears blocking my eyes, I'm still smiling because I know she'll be in a better place and she'll be happy again. Thank you Jon, I love you for this one man.
5:52 Yes! I was hoping this was in the album
Finley Hudson Same
Do u know the nane of that instrument?
The ending of this song is my favorite piece of music to ever exist, literally sends me into another world, really makes me feel something.
thank the mix and mastering engineer also, he did what song needs! great album in my lifetime and i feel giving him a grammy is a shame because grammy is nothing in front of music and the love we show on him. Bro i really love you! when i make song i feel people dont like much variations because market doesnt care what your musical feelings are and i feel you showed its wrong! Respect Sir
My grandma is suffering from Alzheimer's and my mom is doing everything in her power to help her and this song hits hard.
That crazy moment when you feel like she's talking to you from heaven, idk why i just found this song but it definitely brought some peace during a much needed time.
Wow. This song is so musically perfect I'm blown away. Especially to have Quincy Jones on this?! Mad respect Jon... you outdid yourself with this track.
Jim Rohn, Les Brown, and Tony Robbins are wonderful places to find encouragement and build self awareness. Enjoy the new album, of course.
Time away from home base is challenging but if we find our place in life it can lighten that feeling of being homesick, not being home to support those we love most, etc.
Best of luck!
I love Jon's music because he knows how to hit that soft spot in everyone's heart and makes people rethink life and what we're doing with it not just that he never lies in his music his music is always true and he knows what to say that's why his music is the best out there and its amazing. I really hope he makes more because there no music like Jon's music.
I was recently diagnosed with early onset dementia. I just turned 40. My 17 year old son (who is high functioning autistic) has not expressed much, how this made him feel.
But yesterday, he asked me if he could play a song for me, no context.
I eagerly listened, because we were jamming out in the car... But I was brought to tears.
I had to pull over and hug him, just hold him.
I only hope to hold onto as much as I can for as long as I can, for my children 🥺💜
Being a CNA and Hospice CNA For 11 and 1/2 years and seeing and caring for my Father as He passed and Taking in my own mom this song makes me feel like Flying 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Brother
Coversations with my wife, to now the devil and his father. Everyone talks about how “hand of god” wraps up the entire album. But has anyone realized how he wrapped up this ending instrumentally? You can hear sounds from other songs in “Mah’s joint”, as well as all throughout the album. He truly is amazing.
Great observation!!
Jon Bellion you sir are a beautiful human and I appreciate your work and you lift me everyday. My girlfriend and I have been listening to you since we lived in Washington in my car. I pray the lord lifts us and takes care of us through such a beautiful life. Thanks for shedding light in a world so dark and cold, you the man!
Wow..what else can you say. You’ve done it again jon this album is something else.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO FREAKING MUCH THANK YOU JON
