[david.kushner]

thank you for having me, it was truly an honor ❤

[prathameshkapse]

Every time he starts singing i get goosebumps ALL THE TIME

[duashun]

His voice is actually amazing even without auto tune

[aleshatran]

I was hoping he would belt out the chorus and he did and the chills it gave me

I love how David is speaking about the actual struggles of trying to build a relationship with God yk . It’s rare to find a Christian song that dives so deeply into the dark side . I’m glad he made this song, showing that everything isn’t sunshine and rainbows and how people make mistakes, which is okay . Everything about this song is amazing, from his voice, the lyrics, the backstory and everything in between !

[quit.]

I love how David doesn’t just write songs about love like many other artists. I love this song, not only because I’m a Christian, but also because this song hits deep for me. It’s hard to forgive yourself and it’s hard to trust and build your relationship with God. I first listened to this song when I was in a bad mental state. This song really helped me find who I was and it helped me through a hard time. I love David and I’ll never forget him for creating a song that helped me. His voice is amazing and he’s really cute! ❤️

I love how amazing his vocals are, I discovered David Kushner and his songs a few months ago and had been absolutely in love with all of his songs. ❤️❤️

[gashakurama]

The feeling that I am struggling right now to fight & resist temptation & addiction. Understanding the meaning of this song shares some light & comfort.

My daughters dad has just passed away from years of alcohol abuse. He was just 50. last week we held his funeral and played this song at the closing of his service. Powerful stuff

[wishalibya]

I love that this song is about the inner conflict within the same person.. people know me as the nicest person ever, , , while in fact I am just a people pleaser and I hate myself for that. everyday I ask myself when am I gonna stop?.. When will I put myself first? but then, I've been distant from God so I convinced myself that this is my punishment! "Can you spare any mercy that you might find" is the line I relate to the most.

[amira_]

I absolutely love this. Being a Christian and building a relationship with God is HARD, and that's something that's often overlooked. And we are going to make mistakes, and have to ask for forgiveness.
I'm so happy that he addresses this stuff in his song.

[CarolineBartek-nrsm]

His voice is absolutely so perfect for these lyrics. My family thinks he has such a gift 😊 Keep pushing!

[ukalaylaybluestars]

This actually made me cry because I relate to the trying for forgiveness but not forgiving yourself, it's really inspiring the way you explained it and represented it in the song.
I love your voice it's so unique

[Random_shortyy]

"Tried to follow your light but it's nighttime" This is deep.

Though I doubt this comment will receive many upvotes, I feel compelled to share my thoughts in the hope that it may resonate with someone and remind them they are not alone. I recently listened to David explaining the meaning behind his lyrics, and it struck a chord with me as I'm going through a similar experience in my life right now.
Today, after the midday prayer at the Mosque, I found myself feeling overwhelmed and alone. Despite facing challenges such as an uncertain test, heartbreak, and family issues, I couldn't help but break down in tears. In that vulnerable moment, I uttered, "today was a good day, " even though it wasn't objectively true. However, I followed that with a realization of how grateful I am for the opportunity to be with the people I love and cherish, and the chance to change and improve myself. It was a rare instance of me shedding tears, as I usually try to stay strong and seek solace in God's love to fill the deep and dark void within me. Strangely, I often feel undeserving of any form of love, and I can't fully appreciate it until I prove myself to be worthy.
Though I've been down a dark and challenging path, I've always felt the presence of a higher power beside me, never forsaking me. Despite being a social person and well-known at my university, people only see the surface level of who I am. Sometimes, it seems like I can make everyone else happy, but I struggle to find satisfaction within myself.
In sharing this, I hope others who may feel similarly will understand that they are not alone in their struggles. We all face battles that might not be visible to others, but it's crucial to remember that we deserve love and compassion, even when we're at our lowest points. Let's strive to be kinder to ourselves and appreciate the journey of growth and change that lies ahead.

I’m a proffessional singer, (though I wish I was better at writing music like him) and I just have to say it’s so refreshing to hear such a soulful, richly toned baritone voice especially from someone around my age. (I’m 18, going into college) most of the time young singers such as myself and others aren’t exposed to many “soulful” singers just because we were raised with a very pop like sound, but with your range, and your control, you ABSOLUTELY fit that dark deep tone perfectly, and not many people can pull that off. Hats off to you my guy. I could listen to your voice all day

[Detroit_is_king]

One of the few songs nowadays that can actually be explained and has a true meaning to it and can be understood by the listener

[Molly-resn]

I really like songs like this. Very raw and as a Christian, I like songs that aren’t just worship/gospel songs that many people can relate to

[berrykid]

This is one of my favorite songs ever omg. David is such a goober.
