    Diagnosed with spinal cancer in December 2021. Went down a dark hole after being put on meds and found this gem. Helped soothe the soul. Survived my surgery on December 14th. Still have a long recovery … but my soul is at peace. Thanks to this song, prayers and support

    I shared this song with my dad before he died almost 5 years ago. He was crying at the lyrics, he was so moved by certain lines. He said it was one of the most beautiful and sorrowful songs he had heard in 30 years.
    He died within 2 weeks. The last song that touched him.
    I miss him.
    (Thank you the responses.) He was having a heart procedure the next day, already had filled out his PoA and will. He called friends crying the night before he died, he never called me or my sisters. I think he knew he was going to die and he couldn't tell us.
    I wish he would have. I have so many regrets. I'd give the world to hear him again. Feel the safety of having him hug me.
    Thank you to the 21 people who read about my dad. He really tried.

    This song makes me feel so many emotions. But most of all it reminds me of the love I still have for my husband who passed last year. And his passing leaving me a newborn to raise alone has completely leveled my life and I don’t know how the next day keeps coming. Idk how the sun keeps rising and he isn’t here anymore. I’m a shell of a person trying to find my way as a mother thru the most devastating grief I could have ever imagined. Thank you for this song.

    This song has gripped me and given me such bliss. I've planned my suicide twice, once in 2007 and then again in 2018. I nearly went through with each plan until something would interrupt that attempt, and I found myself losing each day, instead of living. And for the first year in twelve years, I'm in a healthy mental and emotional space. I had to start all over again, and this song reminds me of that day, 28th October 2019, when I decided to make the change. Thank you Michael. These times are tough but they are not forever. We can get better. Every day is a new start. You just have to put your running shoes on.

    Michael Kiwanuka’s 'Cold Little Heart' is an epic, soulful journey that grips you from the very first note. The powerful blend of his haunting voice and rich instrumentation creates an emotional atmosphere that lingers long after the song fades. The video beautifully captures the song's depth and complexity.

      I had a similar experience with a new friend in college. We met in one of my classes and immediately started talking about everything. He was a budding young filmmaker and had just earned it apprenticeship what's Spike Lee! The last song we talked about was Jeremy by Pearl Jam. A haunting song in its own right, made all the more haunting for me oh, because the next day he was killed by a drunk driver. That memory will never not be associated with that song for the rest of my life. I'd only known him for scarcely a week before it happened. Still hurts.

It seems nowadays it’s a rarity on social media where everyone is just vibing and not being negative or commenting irrelevant things. The power of music.

      We come and go from this place. This is the material world where we learn what's valuable, these lessons are what shape our lives. We feel the need to have a purpose, there isn't one... other than meeting and loving and losing those that decided to join us along the way. You value your friendship with Nigel as you will with a handful of people in your life. The ones that go too early are the ones that came here just to be with you , what you have between you isn't of the material world, it continues. You can tap into that. Your time will come soon enough, I'm in my mid 60s and it goes so fast. Enjoy every day as best you can and there will be days of great joy. Good luck.

    The first time I listened to this song was September 17, 2018. It was a bad time for me. I remember sitting on a makeshift roof, having climbed it with so much difficulty, at 4 in the morning. I listened to this song on loop till the sun came out. That was the first time I ever wrote and here's the poem I wrote that day:
    Cold Little Heart
    You win.
    Amidst the tyranny of my agony, I realize...
    My heart succumbs finally,
    To my guilt, or to your absence?
    Burdened by something,
    Is it your virtue or my sins?
    Can see myself fading,
    Is it the growing dark or the shimmering light?
    I feel myself sinking,
    Is it a dream, or just the starry night?
    Want to ask you once,
    Should l stand again or give up the fight?
    Bewildered,I run searching around,
    Am I blind or is there no one in sight?
    Rush to me, strap me in your trap too tight,
    This cold little heart may bleed yet again,
    Another day, Another plight.
    This song will haunt me forever and I'll happily let it.

    Did you want it bad?
    Oh my, it tears me apart
    Did you ever fight it?
    All of the pain
    So much pride
    Running through my veins
    Bleeding, I'm bleeding!
    My cold little heart
    Oh I, I can't stand myself
    And I know in my heart
    In this cold heart
    I can live or I can die
    I believe if I just try
    You believe in you and I
    In you and I
    In you and I
    In you and I
    Did you ever notice
    I've been ashamed?
    All my life
    I've been playing games
    We can try to hide it
    It's all the same
    I've been losing you
    One day at a time
    Bleeding, I'm bleeding!
    My cold little heart
    Oh I, I can't stand myself
    And I know in my heart
    In this cold heart
    I can live or I can die
    I believe if I just try
    You believe in you and I
    In my heart, in this cold heart
    I can live or I can die

    In you and I
    In you and I
    In you and I
    In you and I
    In you and I
    In you and I
    In you and I
    Maybe this time I can be strong
    But since I know who I am

It's on a playlist (along with several of Tom's other songs) that I play when I'm trying to calm myself from panic. It makes me feel more human and more okay with living through all of these human experiences. I hope you all find your way to this and other healing melodies in the moments when you each need them most.

    I don't know if the actual artist Michael Kiwanuka will ever read this...I hope so. This song, this video, they've been weighing on me lately. I'm a father of 11 year old twin boys, I've struggled with addiction to hard drugs and somehow beat it before I had kids. My recent huge struggle has been with tobacco. I've been smoking since I was like 16. I'm 38 now. I quit cigarettes right before Covid, just a coincidence, but I still crave tobacco when I drink, so I started smoking cigars. Y'know, the 99 cents for a pack of two White Owls. The thing is, I inhale them way more than I should. Ever since this song and video got stuck in my head, I've started having this paranoid idea that I probably have lung cancer. For the past couple months I'd wake up early early in the morning with this song in my head, a pain in my chest and a fear in my heart. A fear that one day I'll suddenly not be here for my boys. If you ever happen to read this, I want you to know that it's this song you wrote, and also this video with it, that led me to put that shit down for good. I haven't smoked for about two weeks now, except for the green. I don't think I'll ever quit that, but that's only a two-toke bedtime thing. So, thank you, man. Thank you for making this. Thank everyone involved. I don't know how one song that got stuck in my head every morning for like 2 months changed my life, but I guess that's just how it works sometimes. Everything has its place and time, and somehow you just happened to put me on my way to the next thing I want to quit. Next stop is the beer. One step at a time, man.

    I was severely depressed when I discovered this song. I was living life is such a negative way & I felt stuck in a loop of darkness. A year later and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. This song made the hard time a little less rough. Reminded me that I’m human and it’s normal to go through rough patches. But it also showed me that I had the strength within me to overcome it.

    I use to listen to this song whenever I was suicidal, I was diagnosed with depression after struggling of years. It’s an absolute gem of a song, it’s the only song I’ve heard that explains how I felt about myself at the time I was having them thoughts. To anyone who listens for the same reasons of me, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

      Trish DeLish season 2 is clearly not as good as the first one. I think it’s pretty clear he did not die falling down the steps. He was probably pretty significantly injured but they probably all went down the stairs and put the boots to him to finish him off.
