  • This bitter earth
    Well, what fruit it bears
    What good is love
    mmmm that no one shares
    And if my life is like the dust
    oooh that hides the glow of a rose
    What good am I
    Heaven only knows
    Lord, this bitter earth
    Yes, can be so cold
    Today youre young
    Too soon, youre old
    But while a voice within me cries
    Im sure someone may answer my call
    And this bitter earth
    Ooooo may not
    Oh be so bitter after all

    I'm an emotional guy. One of my exes didn't like that about me; she thought it was unmanly. And perhaps she's right. But I don't care. I wouldn't change the intensity of the emotion I feel right now listening to this, the tears in my eyes, the knot in my chest, for anything.

      Showing emotions is a sign of strength, it means going against prejudice that "emotional men are all f*gs", against the stereotype of the manly man which this society wants.
      I really can't understand your girlfriend, but I think that in the future you'll find a better person who will appreciate you for exactly who you are!

      You couldn't be human without emotions and feelings and for some strange reason society expects men to not have feelings or show emotions but it's a complete contradiction because yes I may be a woman but the word woman has man in it and we are part of man and real men feel emotions and real men cry. If this song touched your heart when you heard it then you are a real man in my womanly opinion.

      I wished there were more sensitive guys in the world. I think expressing yourself sincerely is one of the most important things to reach happiness and peace in the world. Don't listen to your ex, she's definitely sexist. If you are more interested in men expressing their emotions, you should learn a little bit about feminism, it will support you and help you out. Trust me on this one

      Mr. Womb was correct it was violin. Not saying they probably used cellos also but you can look at this footage for proof:

    Dinah Washington was one of my late mother's favorite singers in her youth, and she sang nearly identically. I have a portion of the lyrics tattooed on my left arm in her memory "If my life is like the dust, then what good am I?"). I lost my mom 25 years ago come April, but I miss her every day. If your mom is still with you, love her & cherish the days. I am alone in this life, my dad died when I was less than 2 years old. There aren't 5 people who would mourn if I died today. Please be kind to others, you never know what sorrow and pain they are going through.

    'Shutter Island' was an extremely powerful movie in my life. Watching someone dealing with psychosis after extreme trauma is very moving in its own way. I believe many people who watch 'Shutter Island' don't understand much of what's happening, even when it's laid out in front of them. Psychosis is a very real thing in this lifetime and I appreciate Scorsese and his team putting an emphasis on how dangerous, frightening and sad it can be for people.

    Dear, excuse me for my English, as I am from Russia from Moscow and English is not my native language, but I will try to explain my feelings and hope that you will understand me. Once upon a time I heard this song for the first time and could not hold back tears, because in my eyes flashed episodes of my life with its joys and disappointments, with people, with the events that were in my life. I remember my past and look to the future with this musical composition and understand how small and insignificant I am on this earth and in life, I'm just a moment and a speck of dust on the earth. I cry every time I hear this musical composition, because I can not accept the fact that I, my friends, my parents, my impressions, my deeds, episodes of my life is just a speck of dust and a moment in this universe. When my mother heard this musical composition she also cried and said that she remembered her father and his life. I thought I was lonely, and that I was the only one who would have this music, which is more than just music. But now I read your comments and understand that I am not alone and this music is not just a one-day song. this is the masterpiece that is forever. My favorite Director Denis Villeneuve and I was not even surprised when I heard this piece of music in the movie "Arrival" just at the moment where life and death. I was convinced and realized that I was not alone with such feelings. Apologies for my English, thank you.

      Hi, I know you wrote this a year ago.. RUclips is timeless isn't it? (your English is just fine by the way)
      Yes there are moments that come amidst our silly lives full of the distraction of essentially nonsense.. and then once in a while we are triggered, as with 'music' pieces as this.. (although nothing quite like this), and as though a time machine, we are transported to the different times of our lives, and we struggle to find meaning with it all. Suddenly, the moment can be upon us and the truth that seems to pour out from all sources in our heads can be overwhelming.. the truth streams through.. our lives have no meaning, despite our desperate need to give it meaning.. and this is so overwhelmingly sad. Why didn't I do the things that would've made my father so happy before he passed on? What joy it would've bought him? Why didn't I make amends with an old friend of years ago? These 'moments' in time resonate forever in the hollows of my head & soul unmercilessly, and perhaps this is what the song and title serves to remind us.. that 'this old Earth can be bitter, or maybe bittersweet if we assign it the beauty of the special 'fingerprint' that is our silly life here on Earth..

      Everyone has a monster inside of them and is capable of horrible things. More so than people usually reflect upon. History has proven that as man usually follows what is happening around them. Very few of us hardly even feel the current that is moving us along the obvious stream. It is in our failure to recognise that we are all capable of doing monstrous things while thinking of ourselves as a good man. Maybe it is a monster that is needed to bear the pain of moving against the stream in search of truth. Only the seeking of truth will truly reveal if a man is good and not morality alone.

    For every beauty there is a horror. For every love there is a loss. A husband who has lost his wife will live on to feel that emptiness alone. Love turned to pain. But yet in each teardrop is the memory of a smile. In this way pain is the proof of our happiness. There is a price to be paid, but that doesn't have to mean it's not worth the cost. When we feel all that remains is sadness, it's up to us to remember there has been and will again be joy as well.

    There's certain occurrences that seem to strip me of my identity, what I am can no longer be contained and spills out from this body and mind and I am connected to everything again. How easy it is to lose oneself in character. In the illusion of identity we dress for this peculiar, improvised performance we put on each day. Thank you for taking me home, allowing me to step from the stage and observe the beauty of this bittersweet Earth from afar. How truly lucky I am.

      Very well said.
      Because I can see what you mean, it only makes me wonder more,
      I wonder, why I feel like ending it all. Listening to this song, gives me hope that there are at least people in this earth that feel what I feel, but it doesnt answer why I want to stop living so much. Im so hurt by how my life has turned out, im so hurt, tired, alone, i dont thinkbits worth it anymore.

      Its a fight, my friend but we are not alone. We owe it to ourselves to give this life a shot. Only five things can keep anyone person going, 1. Happiness, 2. The thought happiness is obtainable, 3. Salvation 4. Duty and 5. Fear. Death is a luxary that we cannot afford. There's something here for you friend, find someone or something to fight for, to die for. I don't want to see you leave so early, this life is a dynamic experience and you must know today will never be tomorrow and you like anyone else is cabable of hapiness although you are unhappy today. Please, keep fighting.

      (Sorry for my english I am French). Emotion can be a wall, specialy in our days, but if there is one thing to keep of your modern world (French people don't fully belong to it), this is the music. Muslims say that music is an atomic part of paradise fell on earth.

      Raven Drake You're wrong, our hearts become bitter when we're exposed to that tour de force they call reality. When we're locked in our own idealism and fantastical worlds, that's when we can be happy. Our mind is happy because it can escape what it doesn't like our bitter realities.

These past couple of months i've been searching for reason or motive to keep going but this Earth is cold. Thank you for music and whoever combined these love pieces together, I thank you for another day of trying, to keep moving forward.

    Listening to this, I felt a desire to hold my daughter. Only 9 years old she is and I already feel like I owe her so much more than what I've done. I'm so flawed and hate that the person I love more than anything in this world, feels the effects of my flaws more than anyone else does. Without saying anything, she started crying, I started crying, our grasp tightens and as the lyrics said "only heaven knows," I was able to vocalize that I love her beyond words, beyond actions, that I wish nothing but the best path for her. Gosh, this is art, the lyrics, the melody, the chills it creates through the skin, thank you.

      I just wanted to say, just admitting that you worry your flaws hurt your daughter makes you a good parent. You care and you want to be better. That means so much.
      Sometimes the best lessons we can teach the next generation is how to admit when we've made mistakes and how to apologize and try to be better.
      Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has flaws they wish weren't there. Finding a healthy way to acknowledge those things and work on them, in my opinion, is one of the really important things we can pass on.

Do you know this person personally? No. You don't know what hardships they have faced, the pains they endured. But i'll tell you mine for some perspective. Sodomized, tortured, and molested. For eight years. You think fresh water, money, and electricity makes that kind of hell meaningless? That magically now I and everyone who's fallen victim to the worst of what the world has to offer have no right to feel the way we do? The fuck is wrong with you? Your part of what makes this earth on which we live "bitter". I have no intentions to go back and forth with you, and considering that you used the term, "from where i'm standing" I assume you are terminally ill or have a disease. Whatever the case may be, you just belittled another human being for expressing the way the feel because of your own petty, sick mind. Dude could of killed himself because of what you said. Though, i doubt that means anything to a person like you.
