    I don't know why Rachel's songs don't get that much attention. Her songs focus mostly on hope, resiliency and perseverance.

      Everyone has someone... Don't forget a lover/Significant other isn't the only form of connections necessary to actually live.
      With that being said, if you actually have NO ONE, then go out and find someone else who has no one and you two can be each others someone. It doesn't mean you have to find a significant other. Just someone looking for a connection. You may be surprised who needs you just as much as you desire them.

    To my Sam. I know you are in heaven. I only got to have you for a month. Just long enough to see who you are and help you until it was time for you to leave me. My honor, my privilege to be there with you. You made me stronger. You made my life better. Your light still shines through me. Thank you for everything you taught me about me and the world. I live moving forward because I know I will see you again. RIP my angel. You were wanted, and you are forever loved.

    There are plenty of talented artists in the world. But what truly sets Rachel apart from the crowd is that she truly has a heart for people and a level of compassion that none could match. This world is truly a better place she Rachel came along. Her music is about finding the good and reaching out to help our fellow man and woman. Thank you, Rachel.

    This song means the absolute world to me. At the age of 27, I lost all of my eyesight from diabetic retinopathy he, becoming totally blind. Feeling like my entire world is over and I didn't know what to do, then my guide dog, Bryce joined me by my side. This is the song I play every day for him and I. Having Bryce by my side "makes me feel like I've opened my eyes again, the colors are golden and bright again," it is a better place because of Bryce, and I could not be more grateful! Thank you for putting into words my exact thoughts and feelings. Because of Bryce, I finally feel like I belong somewhere again! And what an amazing feeling that is…

      Cao Brian hi, no offense taken! Playing with the amount of technology that is available in the world these days, I have text to speech software installed on my computer, and using any I product, like my iPad or iPhone, there's a feature called voice over which allows all text to be read to me and I can type and dictate everything just like someone who is cited can

    I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song
    It's a better place since you came along
    Since you came along
    Your touch is sunlight through the trees
    Your kisses are the ocean breeze
    Everything's alright when you're with me
    And I hold my favorite thing
    I hold the love that you bring
    But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
    And the colors are golden and bright again
    There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
    It's a better place since you came along
    It's a better place since you came along
    I see the whole world in your eyes
    It's like I've known you all my life
    We just feel so right
    So I pour my heart into your hands
    It's like you really understand
    You love the way I am
    And I hold my favorite thing
    I hold the happiness you bring
    But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
    And the colors are golden and bright again
    And the sun paints the skies and the wind sings our song
    It's a better place since you came along
    It's a better place since you came along
    Now I'm alright
    Now I'm alright
    Everything's alright
    'Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again
    And the colors are golden and bright again
    There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
    It's a better place since you came along
    It's a better place since you came along

      Get a pet, if you can afford one. :) They help with the loneliness. As for human companions, keep trying and be your best self. It's better to be happy with yourself than become someone else for the sake of popularity/love. You can do it. :)

      well, you can try online dating or see if said girl (if she truly doesn't like you anymore) knows anyone. or friends. or if you're in school, sit yourself by someone new and attempt conversation or something; if you work, same sort of concept. it's all about connections and meeting new people. :)

But I can tell you one thing, life goes on and while I may still miss him, I have learnt to cope and recovered completely which I’m SURE you will to. I’m so sorry for your loss. I will take time.🤗😸

I find myself having one of those emotional days, as I've not been able to see family during this pandemic. Just sending out a little encouragement to random people seems to help me a bit on rough days lately. I'm not looking for anything, just want to send some encouragement to others right now. Chin up, and remember the good times you had with your cat :)

He’s my world, and he’s my Best Friend, I dread the day in the hopefully late future. I’ve never had anything so incredibly happy, and silly in my life. My friends dog died of kidney failure a few months ago, they have a new puppy who is a ball of energy. My puppy is 8 months today, June 1st. In this time of darkness, we all need a little bit of love. R.I.P George Floyd, and others who have lost their lives, their loved ones lives, or even our furry friends.

Add on the fact that you had people listen to this at a studio, no matter if they were gay, interracial, mother/son, mother/daughter, or owner and dog, you made this entire thing just... absolutely beautiful.

This song has such a deeeeeep meaning to me and harkins back to memories of a very dear friend of mine who was taken from this world way too soon a year before this video was posted... I would give anything to be able to see her again, to hear her call me Toddster just one more time... She was one of my most favorite people in the whole world... I want to look down into my future wife's eyes, our foreheads pressing together, seeing her smile up at me as we slowly sway to and fro to this wonderful tear-jerker of a song and I know I'm going to cry because I know I will have found my Better Place 😭❤

    I actually considered this to be our wedding song but opted for another song in the end. I feel like it is for another moment at the time. Then our little bundle of joy came, our daughter, and every lyrics fit perfectly. I used to play this song when she was still in my womb and she would instantly calm down and settle inside me. Maybe it's just a conincidence but even after she's born, I'm still playing this song to her and it seems like she can remember. She will instantly calm down and sleep on my arms🥰. Now, I can't finish this song without having to cry because it has a whole new meaning into it. This is just the perfect song for my daughter and I just keep falling in love with it 🥰🥰🥰 Amazing song, amazing voice, thank you Ms. Rachel Platten for this masterpiece 🥺🥺🥺

    I met my girlfriend coming off a highly emotionally abusive relationship. My ex was an alcoholic and even prior to that had a personality disorder. I had gotten used to a way of being where I felt ashamed of liking the things I liked, where I genuinely felt like I didn't deserve love. Men can be abused and emotional abuse is horrific. I got out of that relationship and years passed before I met the girl I'm with now. The difference is night and day and I remember hearing this song a few months after we got together. For me it really is true, this world is a better place with her in it. She's shown me what a healthy relationship is and loves me for all my nerdy/geeky/whacky self. This song totally encapsulates what that transition felt like for me. Thank you for this song.

      I have BPD. There are rumors about ppl like me. But it doesn’t make me a bad person. I struggle emotionally and mentally and I’ve been through some of the roughest patches in my life, and I don’t blame anybody, but then me, and other BPD ppl shouldn’t be blamed either. BPD is a disorder, not a choice. I’m working on improving myself and feeling better, I’m truly grateful for my boyfriend to always supporting me through the worst days, and not only laughing with me, but also crying with me, to this very day. When you love somebody you dont make excuses and you would be with the person all the way. Love doesn’t know obstacles. If you truly love somebody, you wouldn’t call them “abusive”. You would see the love behind their anger, and fear through their arrogance mask because you do have a choice to. It’s easy to blame ppl, put all the weight on them and/or leave them but try and stay with ppl through their worst effing times! You will see that they just need love, support and understanding, and that can help them heal and be better partners. I wasn’t always my greatest, but my boyfriend loves me and chooses to walk the path with me no matter what. I’ll always be grateful and love him for that, and for being himself, because the best person you can be is yourself. I’m not justifying myself; I’m just saying BPD can be living hell for the ppl who are diagnosed with it, too. Another difficult thing is that disorders are not diseases. They cannot be cured. There has been researching about BPD but no cure was still found. So think this through before just branding ppl with titles and judgments.

    • @katahn
      @katahn 2 года назад +9

      @@elinatuktarova6725 I recognize that people with BPD are suffering as well and my heart goes out to them. However that, and whether or not one “truly loves them”, doesn’t magically make their abuse any less abusive nor does it justify it. No one is morally obligated to stay with an abuser nor are they committing some kind of sin by leaving them.

    I lost my 17 years old Bella"She was a Japanese Spitz breed girl". Two years ago and was so tough as she was recovering from cancer , and after she recovered became deaf and eye blind. It was the harshest and toughest thing to see this active little girl suffer a lot but in less than a week she died in her lovely bed and for real missed and still miss her a lot.

      Breed? I’m confused.. is it a girl or a dog? Still, that’s so sad!! 🙁 she’s in a better place and you’ll see her again soon 👍🏻🙂😉😊😁☺️

      Dam this actually made me start crying. I made five dogs when I was little. I adored them all but my parents got rid of them when I was in school to move to my grandparents. I don’t know where they are anymore.

    I love how Rachel included couples of all kinds, how she doesn't discriminate against a type of couple or anything, she included everyone :)
    This has got to be one of my favorite music videos of all time... :)

      Maybe because we saw two gay men holding hands that were called a "Couple" no it's not just "2018" it's called GROSS! I have same sex attraction but I learned to fight it and now I have a beautiful girlfriend who am proposing to in a few weeks, God did not condone Gay marriage EVER! marriage is between a man and a woman, Call It old school I don't care, I call it truth because that's what it is, one day every knew will bow, will you bow before or after its too late?

      Magnolia State good for you? There is nothing wrong with same sex attraction. Get over yourself. It’s sad that you forced yourself into a relationship that you believe to be correct based on society’s precedent. I hope that one day you will truly find happiness.

      Magnolia State god taught LOVE he also put down same sex love in the Old Testament which he also told us to disregard. Hoping you aren’t wearing 2 different fabrics on that huge high horse up there 😂
