I discovered this song on an airplane at a time when I knew my marriage was over and my life would never be the same again. Such a great song. It's really odd it didn't become an international hit.

I listened to this track for months on end after one of my best friends took his own life. I’d always adored the song but it took on a completely new meaning when I lost someone so special, someone that I tried so hard to save. I hear him speaking to me in these lines, in the melody. I hear him explaining his reasons, his pain. I hear his fear that he wasn’t good enough, I hear his regret even though he was resolved. I hear his worry that he won’t be forgiven for surrendering. I hear our memories together. I hear the peace he’s found on the other side. I hear the promise we will be together again. I miss you so much, Craig. 🖤

Wow… I never heard this before until tonight. I had fallen asleep with my headset on, listening to my music. I woke up about an hour later at 2AM, and Spotify was randomly playing this song right at the moment I was waking up from a pretty heavy sleep. The four minutes the song lasted I spent slowly waking up and realizing this is maybe the greatest song I have heard in years, and I have to wake up soon to be able to save the song - but at the same time I also wanted to savour the moment for as long as possible. It felt like I was flying or floating above my bed. One of the best musical experiences I have ever had. I just had to share it here before going back to sleep.

The band did a fantastic job with this one, what a song!

En ineens is zo’n nummer daar. Nooit eerder van deze band gehoord, maar wat een prachtig nummer. Hier kan ik uren naar luisteren.

I do not know what is exactly wrong with this song!!! I may have listened it over 1000 times and still it is like I listen to it for the very first time! Unbelievable melody, amazing lyrics, extraordinary video! I love so much this band, is the best thing I have listened to the last years. I am very glad I stumbled across this song.... Music as it should be!

Most underestimated band of this moment. Brilliant songs.

[realJimMarshall]

I can't really describe this song, or why I love it so much... It just feels right.

I will never forget! I heard that song first time, as I worked in the Netherlands 2013. In the production was the radio, as always very load:). I heard the song and it was for me amazing. With my old phone I was able to find out, which song it was. And still listing that song in 2024:)

I forfeited the love of my life and this song makes me realize it was for the best.

[alepeters]

A simple song but it just gets me - on my worst days, it makes me cry, on my best, it makes me feel zen. Thanks for this.

[rupertmaud]

A song I can listen to time and time again....

[noahdustin]

Just discovered this masterpiece a few days ago, now I listen it all day long. I love the song, a shining diamond in the music industry!

[HidesCriesDies]

I love it when I randomly find amazing music <3

[ycart]

Love love love love love this song! It has consistently been in my playlists for almost a decade now, the vibe is just irreplicable.

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Genuinely one of the best songs of last decade.

The first time I heared this song was on my cheap clock radio when I just woke up. I was flooting 10 feet above my bed during this song, imagine what it sounded like when I heared it on a good quality hifi set. The guitar sound that suddenly emerges orinigates from somewhere between the stratosphere and the mesosphere. Divine masterpeice!!
