Album: A Crow Looked at Me

[Itsjettondon]

Even though she’s dead she is immortalized in one of the most beautiful songs ever made 😢

[umloginqualquer]

What makes this gut wrenching is that it's a real story. Wow.

“I can’t remember, you did most of my remembering for me”. I don’t think I’ll ever recover from hearing that line, absolutely heartbreaking

[michalswag]

but the truth is, i don't think of that dust as you

Lyrics

Our daughter is one and a half
You have been dead eleven days
I got on the boat and came to the place where the three of us were going to build our house
If you had lived
You died though
So I came here alone
With our baby and the dust of your bones
I can't remember
Were you into Canada geese?
Is it significant
These hundreds on the beach?
Or were they just hungry for mid-migration seaweed?
What about foxgloves?
Is that a flower you liked?
I can't remember
You did most of my remembering for me
And now I stand untethered in a field full of wild foxgloves wondering if you're there
Or if a flower means anything
And what could anything mean in this crushing absurdity?
I brought a chair from home
I'm leaving it on the hill
Facing west and north
And I poured out your ashes on it
I guess so you can watch the sunset
But the truth is I don't think of that dust as you
You are the sunset

[RikerLovesWorf]

If you don't have a wide open shell shocked stare like "holy *SHIT*" while you're listening to this album, you're probably inhuman

I found this looking for the SpongeBob soundtrack on Amazon music…

“So I came here alone with our baby and the dust of your bones.”

I have to stop listening at that line most of the time.

Cercavo su spotify un pezzo degli American Football ed ho trovato questo, wow...

"Thank you so much, i'm so glad that i have a person like you in my life, i'm really glad, thank you so much, you're the best, and i promise that i would never ever do anything to hurt you, i promise you this. And Angela please promise me that you'll never leave me behind, please." is what she said after a few months she left lmfao this was her favorite song
