What are some other songs that hit you on the same level? I feel the same way. One of the great pros of most people being on the internet now is being able to relate on these emotions. Much love.
So was such an amazing album!!! I remember my friend told me to buy the vinyl copy of it!!! Played it to death!! Still have it but not that good now!!! Love Kate Bush duet too!!
Who's here in 2025 and still feeling every word of this timeless masterpiece? 🙋♀ Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" goes beyond just a song-it's a journey into the very essence of love and human connection. The lyrics encapsulate the profound longing to be seen and understood by someone who loves you deeply. It's about finding a sense of belonging and seeing yourself through the eyes of someone who truly gets you. This song touches the core of our souls and continues to resonate across generations. 🌟✨ Hope this helps! Enjoy the heartfelt beauty of the music. 🎶
The song I forgotten all about I came across it on RUclips and it made me cry. I'm a 65-year-old man still handsome still can pull off late 40s but there was never a time for music to touch your heart in the 80s God bless all of you that are still watching hey! Don't forget Bad Company exclamation point
Lost my wife to cancer in less than three months. This song means so much to me. 'In her eyes, the light, the heat, in her eyes, in her eyes, I felt complete, in her eyes'. Thank you for making me cry and also feel better. She was my world, and our 2 daughters world, gone too soon at 42 from cancer. Thank you Peter Gabriel and my heart goes out to all living beings. 🙏💔💞😭
Thank you for your likes/loves. My pain and that of my family's is no less than anyone's and reading the incredible comments from others about what this song means to them too made my heart sing and my heart and love goes out to you all. I'm blown away that my comment was highlighted and I've no idea if this is actually Peter Gabriel's official page, nor do I care. The honour and respect goes to him for making such beautiful music. I don't think I should admit this, but my late wife and I would make love to the album 'Passion' a lot over our amazing almost 17 years together. In your eyes, the light the heat, your eyes.... Om Mani Padme Hum 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
@@maxaval1240 I too lost my wife at 41, two young girls , it been 12yr. we have made it through, wasn't easy, but you can too. Each sec each min each hr. move forward, as muck as you can. God Bless
I grew up in the 80’s as well & I miss the way things were in the 80’s. The peace, gas prices, no cell phones, & not having all the crime & problems that people have today. 🙏😔
Yes. I just watched a video that this doctor talks about how this song to him is about the child version of us. How we abandon that version of us. How to heal we have to reconnect with that child. It’s our younger us looking towards us to be the parents/ love we didn’t have. Listening to it that way has me crying for that child it’s so beautiful.
A Burrage The poetry of the lyrics is phenomenal in this ultimate of all love songs here,then add the genius of the music and brilliant arrangements...What a masterpiece! And adding the Middle Eastern acapella is the orgasm of it all!
Happy 74th Birthday Peter Brian Gabriel 02/13/1950 in Surry, England. A living legend in the progressive rock genre. From Garden Wall to Genesis to his solo albums. Musical perfection. Cheers Peter Brian and many more..
"All my instincts, they return The grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside" So beautiful, so poignant!

My wedding song, but I swear it was playing in my head the first time I met my love, "The light the heat ... I am complete." It really was love at first conversation. So cheesy, but true. I just knew. And a lot of people thought we wouldn't make it because he was six years younger. Here we are, though, almost 25 years later, still going strong, two boys, two dogs, military life. Keep on fighting the good fight. He's always been the one. There was never a question.
" SO " should hand gotten album of the year for 1986. I was disappointed when " Graceland " got it. Brilliant album, and an amazing Live performer with gifted musicians.
Such a raw beautiful song. No auto tune or generic millennial whoop. People often say that things were better in the old days and are clearly deluded but when it comes to music they are totally correct.
Have you ever looked into the eyes of a woman who has the greenest of green eyes that simply envelop you? I have been taken to places I didn’t know existed while looking into those eyes. Bewitched is the term some would use, maybe rightfully so? This song takes me back to her. Regardless of time/age I don’t think I will ever recover from those eyes.
The epitome of an ‘80s masterpiece. There are not enough words to fully summarize the 1980s. While never perfect, such a memorable decade in the course of human history when the world seemed a little less dark. Feels increasingly like it will never come again. 😔 My sincerest thanks for sharing this timeless classic. 🙏🏻
We were younger and life was simpler, the internet and phones hadn't taken over our lives yet to make us feel so overwhelmed and helpless about the terrible things mankind does. But there are still good days ahead, and even good music. However, we are so lucky to have experienced it and will always have it, thanks to the internet (that double edged sword). Much peace and love ❤️
We all get so lost sometimes, but we are loved in the eyes of our creator, eternally found, eternally complete. This song was a thanks to God from the heart.
This song helped me thru many a hard time. Music the friend that never abandons you always there when u need them a true friend never to busy thank God I stayed in that bad marriage long enough for my son to be born my blessing from God ❤❤❤❤
This was an 86 song. Im an 84 baby. I was raised on great music thanks to my dad. Not the crap today. This song brings me back to den in FL when we moved there from NY. It was his music room outside pool. My dad is amazing to this day. My musical inspiration.
To tell someone that their eyes are so brilliant that their beauty far exceeds that of "a thousand churches", is probably the most profound compliment you can ever pay someone.
@@paperclips4113 Say it to somebody else. Hold the person you want to be held by and tell them the lovely things you want them to say. Be the love you wish the receive, and maybe you'll never see the need to receive it.
Because the compliment he's paying is not to a person. It's too an entity. There's only an entire video venerating ya mans that puts one arm up, and the other pointed down. I can't elaborate further.
My parents grew up during these times and listened to these fantastic artists. I’m thankful that they did and were able to share the greatest era of music to me.
This song reminds me so much of my late husband Adam. Whenever he saw me coming through the door, his eyes would light up. Of course, mine would do the same. I miss you Sweets.
...sono italiana...parlo bene l'inglese ma preferisco esprimermi nella mia lingua...semplicemente MERAVIGLIOSO. Quando desidero ascoltare qualcosa di veramente bello e finalmente musicale, c'è solo Peter...😊🤗
Bigskunkyherer I agree...but the fact is that in 2050’s , we’ll say , these days’ music can’t match with 2000’s, 2010’s and 20’s ! Its just our emotional connection evoked with this past memories dipped in music ...great music comes in every age bro :) but again 70’s 80’s and 90’s music is mesmerizing unequivocally.
@5,ooo LightYears Away True that! Of course, back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, at least the good stuff was more played on the radio and MTV. You have to work harder to find the good music nowadays.
Great times they were, musically for certain. Do you remember waiting for someone's new album to come out, getting it, going home and excitedly listening from start to finish with the headphones on? Such happy times!
FnA right man. Hell yes it was great. Cruising and jamming out..... When you had to actually interact with other human beings....and you didn't have anonymity on a computers.....if you ran that pie hole there was a good chance you'd get it split open.....so you were more polite and considerate. I miss those days when a boy had nuts and girls had butts.
@@sinkingisland7769 yes.....it was awesome. And recording your songs on tape off the radio.....it sounded like ass but you were glad to have it.....and you sang over it anyway.....so it really didn't matter.
I’m 50 now and growing up in the 80’s as a teenager when “SO “ album came out was amazing , my dad introduced it to me while driving around in his new Ford Orion ghia injection and I still love it now ! I go see my mum and dad now and a nice bottle of wine we stick that album on ! Never had an album I’ve listened to that brings back great memories ! Wish he still had the Orion
A few years later, after that movie came out, I was a freshman in college, and my boyfriend copied that scene from the movie after we had a fight and played this song on his boombox down below my dorm room window 😂
Peter's masterpiece also introduced me to Laurie Anderson's great work. - And she to Philip Glass and Adrian Belew. Excellent Birds and Gravity's Angel are two incredibly good songs.
@@shellyfagan5794 I remember Phil Collins in an interview. The interviewer said, wow your songs are so deep so meaningful, where does that come from? His reply was no where I just write they don't mean any thing. I personally thought that was a fabulous answer. Singers writers etc aren't spiritual masters, sure they are creative but we all are. The power to give birth is more of a spiritual connection to the universe than writing or singing a song.
If we report bad parents to social services, who do we report good parents to? 'Cause yor dad needs to be reported to the good parent people! I had to get into Yes and PG on my own...
No it wasn't!! Majority of the big acts in the 80s, where from the70s! Including Peter Gabriel!!!, Genesis, Queen, David Bowie, the Police, phil Collins, Iron Maiden, the jam, the list goes on. 80s!!!! Tacky era!🤣👍
@@undisputed1291 And, they didn't make their most popular and successful music until that point in their careers. When they started their careers is irrelevant to when they made their greatest material all of the way up to 11:59 pm, December 31, 1989. Don't be a fucking jackass.
Means so much to so many. And we all have different reasons. To me it is an awkward shy guy who sees his crush and thinks of what could be if she could just see him.
Maybe learn a second language I picked up on many good 80s songs in Spanish I had missed out before when the 90s rolled in I was ready for some new stuff .Though I have to admit not as good as 60s,70s & 80s but way better than now I suggest maybe Italian. I took up Spanish because of my grandparents.
My mom used to play this song often in the car when we'd ride with her back in the day, i hadn't heard it in a long time and i thought this was a Phil Collins song for the longest time which didn't help when i was trying to find it for the longest time until i heard it while driving and realised it was peter gariel.
@@joshuagaffney4361 It all comes down to personal tastes. I'm sure there are people in the world who'd even put dreck like "I Like to Move It Move It" or "Who Let the Dogs Out" among the greatest songs ever written. That said, I'd at least consider putting "In Your Eyes" among my top 100 (or at least my top 200).
Listening as a grown man at 40 with a family of his own. This takes me back to being a kid instantly. One of, if not one of the most emotional songs every written. The 80's were incredible. Always feel my eyes welling up when I hear this.
1982...my divorce...it was the best diet I ever went on...lost weight...lost my feelings...learned what true hatred and bitterness was...if it wasn't for my 3 beautiful sons I would never have made it. I love you all SO much...Erik, my oldest BRAIN, Bradley, my very old soul and my middle baby Michael...gone from all of us too soon...the world, your daughter , brothers and me...mom. I love you...
I'm suspended in time, it's 1986, I'm in my room, listening to the radio and this song comes on, when I open my eyes, this will be in a mind trip, I'm 15.....sigh, music suspends you from aging, it transports you back to the age you were when you first heard a song. Hey, I was single then and just as dorky and awkward 😅
This song makes me instantly tear up. I miss my childhood, the 80s, the lack of hatred, the feelings of peace & excitement... If you didn't live thru the 80s/90s you just don't know, but this song perfectly encapsulates how it felt to live thru it.
I agree with your thoughts... however the lack of hate? Hate for??? Did u live in America then? Respectfully... the lack of hate or the lack of camera phones?
I listen to hip-hop, rock, metal, funk, folk, punk, prog, classical, even occasionally jazz... but I really think this particular song is the greatest ever composition of popular music. God bless Peter Gabriel.
I remember riding in my Daddy's white Thunderbird with red interior driving around Nashville with this song blaring on a beautiful sunny day & now missing that carefree feeling. "The Living Years" by Mike + The Mechanics also gives me this same haunted nostalgic feeling. It will never be the same again. Milks my emotions dry every time & takes me back.....❤🩹
Im on the way to check into rehab. Iv hurt my family so much. And i am so sorry for what I’ve done. This song always makes me fall in love with my wife over and over again. This song means absolutely so much now. More than before….. every single word is what im doing now. Im sorry to anyone i ever hurt. Just know it was me being in an addiction. I promise to give every piece of me to this to change. Anyone going through it, you can beat this. I promise. Ill come back in a few months & check this post. If anyone needs a friend, leave your info and ill reach out. Cheers everyone, go do what you love with who you love
Be strong, brother, you've got this! No regrets, just face it head-on. We've all made mistakes, takes a warrior to admit them and face them head on. You have my love and support. Go get them, lion. Xxx
I hope you succeed. My relative just spent 4 & 1/2 months in 3 hospitals on a ventilator & feeding tube. He barely made it. 3 doctors, 2 nurses, and 1 resp therapist said he wouldn't survive. Meth & coke. I hooe you get clean before this happens to you.
My heart fills every time I hear this. The whole of “So” was one of my teenage soundtracks, accompanying me through puberty, angst, awakening as a gay man, finding love, encountering loss, attempting suicide, finding life the other side, and just how beautiful music and love can be. Thank you, Peter.
Nobody (me): Why does this generation need to go back in time just to listen to some of the old music in search of something that today’s music can’t give

His voice sells it.

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
I see your comment everywhere

Peter Gabriel is a musical genius. This song is a classic example of his ability to encapsulate pure emotion in time.
I was lucky enough to see him in Toronto in September! Wonderful
Hard to believe that he was at one time on same band as Phil Collins
@bouche8503 He sure did. 1985. He wrote it and others during a trip to Barcelona Spain.

Que voz ❤
Song is timeless regardless of race or creed. Thanks pete for this.
Why did you even mention it lmao
This was and always will be our song …..In Loving Memory of my husband Marc 2/13/2014 ♥️
So beautiful 💟
Peace.
And the sweetest of .....
Everlasting LOVE
He says it back I'm sure
Hell ya 🤙🏻

My parents grew up during these times and listened to these fantastic artists. I’m thankful that they did and were able to share the greatest era of music to me.
We wish more people your age could relate….
Cool tho.
You must have great parents!
M'eh. Generation X has that impact... even to the kid's of gen x. I may not be your daddy, but, you're welcome, too.
Me encanta esta canción!!❤ ❤❤
This song will never be old, sounds as new as it was 1st released.
"In your eyes I am complete"
This song reminds me so much of my late husband Adam. Whenever he saw me coming through the door, his eyes would light up. Of course, mine would do the same. I miss you Sweets.
Beautiful
Keep him in your heart.
Wonderful memory
Awww...I'm sorry, my dear. 😔
wow. I had to tell my husband to look up and say hi to me when I got home. I'm sorry for your loss, that's not fair at all.
One of the most beautiful songs ever created. In fact this entire era of Peter's work is very special.
...sono italiana...parlo bene l'inglese ma preferisco esprimermi nella mia lingua...semplicemente MERAVIGLIOSO. Quando desidero ascoltare qualcosa di veramente bello e finalmente musicale, c'è solo Peter...😊🤗
Why can't today's music be this good? This is so beautiful.
None of today's music even comes close to the 70's,80,s, 90's
Bigskunkyherer
I agree...but the fact is that in 2050’s , we’ll say , these days’ music can’t match with 2000’s, 2010’s and 20’s !
Its just our emotional connection evoked with this past memories dipped in music ...great music comes in every age bro :) but again 70’s 80’s and 90’s music is mesmerizing unequivocally.
Preach
@5,ooo LightYears Away True that!
Of course, back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, at least the good stuff was more played on the radio and MTV. You have to work harder to find the good music nowadays.
ImNotBatman
That’s deep... Can’t say I disagree.
Sadly an era that can never be repeated nor replicated.
Honored to have witnessed and been part of the 80s.
Great times they were, musically for certain. Do you remember waiting for someone's new album to come out, getting it, going home and excitedly listening from start to finish with the headphones on? Such happy times!
GREAT Rematk..
FnA right man. Hell yes it was great. Cruising and jamming out..... When you had to actually interact with other human beings....and you didn't have anonymity on a computers.....if you ran that pie hole there was a good chance you'd get it split open.....so you were more polite and considerate. I miss those days when a boy had nuts and girls had butts.
@@sinkingisland7769 yes.....it was awesome. And recording your songs on tape off the radio.....it sounded like ass but you were glad to have it.....and you sang over it anyway.....so it really didn't matter.
It's coming back
I’m 50 now and growing up in the 80’s as a teenager when “SO “ album came out was amazing , my dad introduced it to me while driving around in his new Ford Orion ghia injection and I still love it now ! I go see my mum and dad now and a nice bottle of wine we stick that album on ! Never had an album I’ve listened to that brings back great memories ! Wish he still had the Orion
Same I grew up in 80"s I absolutely love this song.Music of today can't compete.I am now 49.Love this man.Davina Quinvanda
Awesome history
I think anyone who is in a long term relationship can benefit from the words of this song 😊
Peter Gabriel is the best. Are you in a relationship
The scene from say anything with john Cusack...with the radio...timeless❤
Beautiful scene! That´s bravery.
A few years later, after that movie came out, I was a freshman in college, and my boyfriend copied that scene from the movie after we had a fight and played this song on his boombox down below my dorm room window 😂
@@ptlinatl3that's epic! 🎉
Epic

Yes.
Wish I could press like a hundred times to that comment
perfectly put
I guess I don't quite have that reaction, but it has made me think of my wife since before we got married.
I’ve personally never been in love or felt that way, but I LOVE this song
Number one Peter Gabriel ❤
'So' is simply one of the best albums ever created. Peter is a genius. And this song...
Peter's masterpiece also introduced me to Laurie Anderson's great work. - And she to Philip Glass and Adrian Belew. Excellent Birds and Gravity's Angel are two incredibly good songs.
Amazing..the 1976 group was heavily I flunces by Peter Gabriel
Last time, I actually loved a woman. This was our song. It's been a long time since 1991.
June 23, 2024. It’s 9:37 PM & I’m laying in bed listening to this song. Love to you all.
Love, friend ❤❤
Love back to you. :) It's all Love.
One of my absolute favorite songs 🥰
Timeless classic! After all these years it still brings chills and tears.
Love this song!

Fit m i 2 di
Definitely !!!
@@elizabethfitzgerald8526qqa😊😊A see eewaa
Definitely an unforgettable song.
I don't think Peter knew how powerful of an impact this song would be on any and everyone.
He wanted it to have an impact on Rosanna Arquette who the song was written for...
I think he did, and that's why he made it!
The older I become the more I realise how lucky we were to live with great artists- none better than this genius.
Music is mathematical and we use mathematics to understand the universe. Musicians touch the face of Creation. Peter Gabriel is a spiritual master.
@@shellyfagan5794 Sure I like Peter Gabriel, but that's a bit of a bold statement, fair play to you.
@@shellyfagan5794 I remember Phil Collins in an interview. The interviewer said, wow your songs are so deep so meaningful, where does that come from? His reply was no where I just write they don't mean any thing. I personally thought that was a fabulous answer. Singers writers etc aren't spiritual masters, sure they are creative but we all are. The power to give birth is more of a spiritual connection to the universe than writing or singing a song.
@@shellyfagan5794 well said lady
So true
My top 5 songs of all time! I love me some PG ❤✨
My dad raised me on Peter Gabriel and Yes. My childhood was amazing :)
If we report bad parents to social services, who do we report good parents to? 'Cause yor dad needs to be reported to the good parent people! I had to get into Yes and PG on my own...
One of the very Best
Warms me heart.....
Me too! His favorit singer :)
Loved your comment
This song alone is one of the reasons why 80s is considered the greatest music decade in history
I agree with you.
Let's also raise a glass to John Cusack and boom boxes.
@@lesliearroyo3258 Cheers!
No it wasn't!! Majority of the big acts in the 80s, where from the70s! Including Peter Gabriel!!!, Genesis, Queen, David Bowie, the Police, phil Collins, Iron Maiden, the jam, the list goes on. 80s!!!! Tacky era!🤣👍
@@undisputed1291 And, they didn't make their most popular and successful music until that point in their careers. When they started their careers is irrelevant to when they made their greatest material all of the way up to 11:59 pm, December 31, 1989. Don't be a fucking jackass.
The 80s. WERE THE BEST YEARS FOR Music !!!!!! I miss those years 😢
It's indeed a great pleasure for me to have a supportive fan like you. Message me on my hangout email

This is not music, for it is art
This song will forever hold a special place in my heart It was playing on the radio, while I was driving to the hospital in labor with my daughter.
How wonderful 👍💖
I hope everything went well with the delivery
Bet you're glad it wasn't "Sledgehammer| 😉
You drove yourself to the hospital while in labor, ma'am you are my new hero.
Bet you are old now
Qué música, qué melodia .esto nunca pasara de moda.doy gracias de haber crecido escuchando esta canción
Means so much to so many. And we all have different reasons. To me it is an awkward shy guy who sees his crush and thinks of what could be if she could just see him.
I am 14 but I can address that this is a piece of art! Bad they don’t make music like this in my generation...
You can change that.
I was 14 when this was released, 9th grade freshman year…
Maybe learn a second language I picked up on many good 80s songs in Spanish I had missed out before when the 90s rolled in I was ready for some new stuff .Though I have to admit not as good as 60s,70s & 80s but way better than now I suggest maybe Italian. I took up Spanish because of my grandparents.
Peter Gabriels music touches my soul.

Wow. Peter’s voice is just fabulous. Loving this song in 2022
Loving it still in Feb. 2023 ❤
My mom used to play this song often in the car when we'd ride with her back in the day, i hadn't heard it in a long time and i thought this was a Phil Collins song for the longest time which didn't help when i was trying to find it for the longest time until i heard it while driving and realised it was peter gariel.
One of the greatest songs ever written, Peter Gabriel is very underrated nowadays
This song isn't even in the top 100 of all time......not by a long shot
@@joshuagaffney4361 It all comes down to personal tastes. I'm sure there are people in the world who'd even put dreck like "I Like to Move It Move It" or "Who Let the Dogs Out" among the greatest songs ever written. That said, I'd at least consider putting "In Your Eyes" among my top 100 (or at least my top 200).
@@joshuagaffney4361 in your opinion jagoff
I have been called from the "millenial generation" and I listen to this, so. Not Everything is lost.
he is underrated - criminally underrated I'd say.
Listening as a grown man at 40 with a family of his own. This takes me back to being a kid instantly. One of, if not one of the most emotional songs every written. The 80's were incredible. Always feel my eyes welling up when I hear this.
1982...my divorce...it was the best diet I ever went on...lost weight...lost my feelings...learned what true hatred and bitterness was...if it wasn't for my 3 beautiful sons I would never have made it. I love you all SO much...Erik, my oldest BRAIN, Bradley, my very old soul and my middle baby Michael...gone from all of us too soon...the world, your daughter , brothers and me...mom. I love you...
Ditto😊🎵❤️
Likewise. I needed this. I heard it just a few days ago and started crying. At 42 I needed it.
So. You were a very intelligent tiny tot to remember the 80's
@@barbaraj.6309 that just proves the impact this song has. Even as a young kid with no life experience to attach it to.
This is the greatest song of all time. The lyrics, backing vocals, Gabriel’s voice, the arrangement… it’s all perfect
Absolutely!!! ❤️
You couldn't have said it better. Greatness
Blimey! "The resolution of all the fruitless searches"
It's as if our mutual love has created a portal that defies time and space.
🌌🚀☄️💖✨🌟💫🌌
I'm suspended in time, it's 1986, I'm in my room, listening to the radio and this song comes on, when I open my eyes, this will be in a mind trip, I'm 15.....sigh, music suspends you from aging, it transports you back to the age you were when you first heard a song. Hey, I was single then and just as dorky and awkward 😅
!986: A Year to be truly REMEMBERED!
Yes.."In my room." Type of safety. GONE
This song makes me instantly tear up. I miss my childhood, the 80s, the lack of hatred, the feelings of peace & excitement... If you didn't live thru the 80s/90s you just don't know, but this song perfectly encapsulates how it felt to live thru it.
The lack of hatred ?
Do t be sad it's gone. Be glad you lived it.
I agree with your thoughts... however the lack of hate? Hate for??? Did u live in America then? Respectfully... the lack of hate or the lack of camera phones?
@@callumodey4532 I just sent her a ? about her ideology abt hate in the 80s. Lol!
So very true 👍
i liked this when i was 17...then forgotten...now im 46 and im listening to it again...still gets thru my bones
marijka ter morsche : Me too..I fell in love with this song in 1988, when I was 17 and now, I am 46.
Me too!

loooool the same !! but i m 47 !!! lol !! and at the present you are 48 ?

To me, this is an extremely spiritual song. Not about a lover, but about someone even greater.
Lmao
I agree 👍

I’m an 11 year old kid, and I have been lucky enough to enjoy these kinds of masterpieces instead of the “rapping music” made in this day and age.
Good choice 💜
Good for you 😊
One of the greatest songs to ever exist... Thank you Mr. Gabriel!!!
its not just music its a experience !
Please give this classic a 4K upgrade.
I listen to hip-hop, rock, metal, funk, folk, punk, prog, classical, even occasionally jazz... but I really think this particular song is the greatest ever composition of popular music. God bless Peter Gabriel.
No it’s trash

Love can be painful. But music makes everything better.🖤
So true! Music is pure and transports you to a place in time where you can find such joy. :)
Because it makes us feel felt and understood.
I remember riding in my Daddy's white Thunderbird with red interior driving around Nashville with this song blaring on a beautiful sunny day & now missing that carefree feeling. "The Living Years" by Mike + The Mechanics also gives me this same haunted nostalgic feeling. It will never be the same again. Milks my emotions dry every time & takes me back.....❤🩹
Im on the way to check into rehab. Iv hurt my family so much. And i am so sorry for what I’ve done. This song always makes me fall in love with my wife over and over again. This song means absolutely so much now. More than before….. every single word is what im doing now.
Im sorry to anyone i ever hurt. Just know it was me being in an addiction. I promise to give every piece of me to this to change.
Anyone going through it, you can beat this. I promise. Ill come back in a few months & check this post. If anyone needs a friend, leave your info and ill reach out.
Cheers everyone, go do what you love with who you love
Be strong, brother, you've got this! No regrets, just face it head-on. We've all made mistakes, takes a warrior to admit them and face them head on. You have my love and support. Go get them, lion. Xxx
You can do it. Change is possible.
You've got this!
I hope you succeed. My relative just spent 4 & 1/2 months in 3 hospitals on a ventilator & feeding tube. He barely made it. 3 doctors, 2 nurses, and 1 resp therapist said he wouldn't survive. Meth & coke. I hooe you get clean before this happens to you.
God bless you and your family!!❤
My heart fills every time I hear this. The whole of “So” was one of my teenage soundtracks, accompanying me through puberty, angst, awakening as a gay man, finding love, encountering loss, attempting suicide, finding life the other side, and just how beautiful music and love can be. Thank you, Peter.
Take Care James and have a safe and happy New Year ! 🙋
