Ghost by Justin Bieber - I’ve listened to this song so many times but only recently, randomly driving in the car, I felt a really deep heartache and cried thinking of dad when listening to it. It’s strange that the meaning of songs suddenly hit you when you least expect it.
“ if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life “
and also, How do I say goodbye by Dean Lewis - for obvious reasons this song resonates so deeply with me.
“ So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye? “
I love that music has the ability to describe exactly how you’re feeling, especially when it comes to grief when it’s so hard to put into words.
I love this Sonal! Both songs are beautiful and incredibly moving. You’re so right - music has a powerful way of capturing the essence of experiences that are so hard to describe. Thank you so much for sharing 🫶
This is a beautiful piece, Ruhie. I like several of these songs too and I appreciate how lyrics hit us at different stages of our lives.
Thank you Chris for this lovely message! Music is indeed incredibly powerful that way.
