Or maybe you still love it, but now you have a different perspective.

    This song is cute and happy but the lyrics are absolutely devastating and make me cry. https://open.spotify.com/track/2E3hdMguyNDQswLXyUotYR

    [Verse 1]
    Two ravens in the old oak tree
    And one for you and one for me
    And bluebells in the late December
    I see signs now all the time
    The last time we slept together
    There was something that was not there
    You never wanted to alarm me
    But I’m the one that’s drowning now

    [Verse 2]
    I can sleep forever these days
    Cause in my dreams I see you again
    But this time-fleshed out fuller face
    In your confirmation dress
    It was so like you to visit me
    To let me know you were okay
    It was so like you to visit me
    You’re always worried about someone else

    [Bridge]
    At your funeral I was so upset
    So, so upset
    In your life you were larger than this
    Statue statuesque

    [Chorus] (x2)
    I see signs now all the time
    That you’re not dead, you’re sleeping
    I believe in anything
    That brings you back home to me


    I hate this song. Literally sobbing at the fear of the state my mental health would be in if my wife suddenly passed.

      Harper Road from Sun Kil Moon is similar, super beautiful song but tragic fucking lyrics

      My blood runs through my lonely daughter
      Her eyes are mine, so wild with wonder
      Be my voice, my light, my power
      Be with me in my leaving hour
