So this #dailysong hits hard. If you’ve ever experienced loss, this may just give you some hard feels like it does to me. The lyrics of this portray someone trying to help a friend through some depression while the video shows many people grieving over their loved ones in many different ways. I have an odd fascination (for lack of a better word) with strong emotions such as loss. I had emotional issues growing up and having strong emotions generally meant I was about to or currently doing something awful. I was medicated and taught to push down my feelings, or at least that’s how I understood the lessons at the time. It’s only VERY recently in my life that I’ve been allowed(?) to feel strong emotions and not be concerned with what may happen around me. And strangely one of my favorite emotions to experience is sadness. I spent so much of my life trying to be calm and happy, that I had honestly begun to wonder if I could feel sad. I’d gotten to the point where things just didn’t phase me. So if something can get me to feel sad and cry, in a strange way it makes me feel happy as well because it means I’m still human, in a sense. So when I can listen to this and re-experience my own losses, I feel strangely comforted because if nothing else, it means I’m feeling something. And that’s, good, right? Anyway, here’s “How to Save a Life” by the Fray.
“Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend. Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night. Had I known how to save a life.”
