Patrick Droney 'Glitter' [Official Music Video]

"Glitter" by Patrick Droney

Directed by Aaron Hymes

LYRICS:

String of lights on the door
Welcome back to your life
This is worth living for
There’s so much left in store

And we don’t
Get to choose
Who we get to love
Or who it is we’re gonna lose
Or what breaks our heart in two

But no one really dies if the love remains
Cause nothing that dies really goes away

See grief it’s just like glitter
It’s hard to brush away
Bright light and it still shimmers
Like it was yesterday
And if falls like confetti
All of the memories explode like a hand grenade
And it’s sweet and it’s bitter
Grief it’s like glitter
Oh what a mess it makes
What a mess it makes

Past denial and the rage
The what if and the praying on the hardest days
You accept what you can’t change

No one really dies if the love remains
Cause nothing that dies really goes away

See grief it’s just like glitter
It’s hard to brush away
Bright light and it still shimmers
Like it was yesterday
And if falls like confetti
All of the memories explode like a hand grenade
And it’s sweet and it’s bitter
Grief it’s like glitter
Oh what a mess it makes
What a mess it makes

I think life’s a party
Something you should celebrate
Some people leave early
And others get to stay
And hearts they burst like fireworks
At the end of the parade

See grief it’s just like glitter
It’s hard to brush away
Bright light and it still shimmers
Like it was yesterday
And it falls like confetti
All of the memories explode like a hand grenade
And it’s sweet and it’s bitter
Grief it’s like glitter
Oh what a mess it makes
What a mess it makes

Wow I truly hit the jackpot when I found Patrick Droney’s music . Everything about this song, is pure art, poetry. And yes, I will be having this on repeat for every occasion. A rainy day, a car ride, or even to brush my teeth in the morning.

[joannemullarkey]

My firstborn was killed in a car accident at the tender age of 25.

My grief has been a bottomless well of suffering. I have been living.

I have no words to express my eternal gratitude to you for this song.

It has literally helped me to LIVE again. Thank you! ❤️

This song is beautiful and heartbreaking. It’s also absolutely perfect.
My first daughter was stillborn at 36 weeks.. it’s been a hell of a three years without her. But she sends me sparkles, large flake sparkles. The bath tub, her little sisters cheek in the morning, a chair at work. There is glitter from my sweet Lyra. I found this song around her 2nd birthday when I was really struggling and it felt like another wink from her. 💕✨

[SamuelDiLeo]

Words can't explain what I just felt while listening to this. My dad passed away a few months back, and this song... straight to the heart. A calm, peaceful feeling. Thanks for blessing us with such amazing art.

[ncgisaiah]

“Some people leave early... and others get to stay.”

I lost my dad 10 years ago to a brain tumor and can’t even begin to describe how heartbreakingly beautiful this song is. Thank you for creating it and sharing with all of us. 🤍

[alishacollins]

We need a repeat on YouTube.... my best friend since I was 13(28 almost 29 now) just passed.. overdosed... do not judge. I'm a recovering addict... he just couldn't find the light in the darkness as I was able to... this song couldn't have entered my life at abmore perfect time. I'll always love you Anthony Michael pinkstock, than I could ever let be known.

Lost our son through Covid and your song has touched our hearts! Done more than words, food, cards, flowers and Tears.... Thank you so so much Patrick Lindsey

[PlinyTheYounger]

This is one of those songs that stops time and your entire world in it’s tracks. This song is breathtaking

[estylizmi]

This is the most underrated song. ever.

Hello. I’m here to express complete gratitude for this song.

I don’t normally comment on videos like this, but I wanted to make him aware that I am truly moved by this song. Through the stresses of COVID, the grief of my deceased grandfather, the loss of close friendships that I had had for over 5 years, and some of the personal stuff that I had been doing, I didn’t realize the power behind this song. It’s one of the songs that have lots of power and emotion tucked behind it. However, that emotion is only experienced when you are in a state of grief or sadness, which I think is amazing.

The song calms me, puts he to sleep, and I can listen to it for hours on end. It’s such a powerful song, with one of the strongest messages I’ve seen in awhile on this platform. It really goes to show that a little love can go a long way. We truly aren’t losing someone if the love is still existant. The song truly is a work of art, and contains a golden message.

I thank you, Patrick. This is truly an amazing song that you’ve made.

I hope everyone gets through the tough times without issues. Our world needs some love towards everyone sometimes. Love to all, 🤍🤍

Top ten most beautiful song ever written. No question. The glitter/grief comparison is exquisitely done sir. Congrats PD!

[susanadotson]

Lost my husband at Christmas to a heart attack 4.5 years ago at just 28. My grandmother a year later suddenly to a stroke at just 63 and my dad a year ago to CHF at 51. This song perfectly captures the weight of grief and all its many ups and downs. 💔 They all left me way too soon but I'm thankful I was with each of them as they transitioned into the next life.

[CatWipp]

I discovered this song on Spotify. I’ve lost so many loved ones over the years... 3 best friends, two moms, my soulmate, and nearly a dozen close friends and family. And I’m only 32. This song is beautiful and heartbreaking and reassuring and soothing all at the same time. “Some people leave early and others get to stay.” So fitting. Thank you for this! ❤️

[justme]

This song hit me from all angles. No matter if it’s lost love, loss of people or loss of what I thought life should have turned out to be, these words rang through me like an old fashioned phone waiting for the receiver to be picked up. Wow! Very powerful, but did ironically bring me an inner peace to be reminded we all feel the Glitter through life. Thank you for the amazing tune!!

[SnazzyBoxx]

That’s another Patrick Droney song added to my playlist. Honestly, he deserves more listeners
