    Oh my god...
    Bruh I'm 16 and I feel old
    Lemme tell you a story of why this song holds a special purpose for me in my heart.
    About 10 years ago, my family and I went up to Ohio for a summer. My dad and grandparents grew up there and lived their years back, and I also loved going. However... after we came back, my grandad fell ill, and we found out he had a tumour in his lung. He died January of next year... this song was the song that I always listened to up there, and my grandad and I would sing it together...
    That's why this song is held dear to me.

    My memory of this song is when I was a kid sitting in the back of my aunts van with all my cousins and on our way home from my nan’s old camp it’s pitch black dirt road and there’s fields with fireflies EVERYWHERES around us. I still have not seen as many fireflies to this day, so glad I have this song to remind me of the good nostalgic times.

      Goodbyes:
      A grandfather who has died.
      A close friend or lover.
      Hellos:
      A future wife or husband but only leads to death
      A friend only to drift apart or die
      Life is like a mother of bad habits,but she's still a mother and we should care for her.

    This song brought memories. I was a kid when i discovered this song and i sung it and showed my family the song and everything like that. This song is the most memorable one i know. I am littally in tears from noaligia from the past when covid never existed and there was no betrayal at all in my life and when everyone felt safe. I miss those old days
