    7 years ago, i lost my boyfriend, and even though it was long distance, i still loved him alot.. and i thought because he had abusive parents.. i thought he offed himself honestly and.. i miss him deeply, i heard this song and... it fit perfectly.. anytime i miss him i just.. listen to this song and it helps me cope, because i always told him id be by his side.. wherever you are, i miss you, i wish you weren't gone, you had such an impact on my life and.. i wont forget you.
    tiny add on here: He was... he had such a bright hope in him, he wanted to be a game designer someday and well, he was also known by his friends as a good pixel artist and an even greater person, and although me and his friends dont talk anymore, i.. i hope they atleast remember him, because they don't really remember me anymore, but i made a sort of vow to keep his name alive, make him always remembered.
    I appreciate the kind words everyone.. i was just expecting it to be lost in the sea of comments.. so.. thank you..
    Update: i have now graduated... i made it Dusk.. i hope you're proud of me..
    Been 7 years, around this time today he.. he left... 9-18-15.

      My boyfriend committed suicide a week after my 19th birthday the same year that this song came out. I used to hear it and burst into tears every time. Now I have the sheet music and play it. 15 years later I can actually get through it from start to finish, but only some of the time. It takes me right back to that feeling. I didn’t want him to be alone when his soul embarked. There are some types of pain that can never be fixed. This song takes me right back to that feeling.

    I used to think it was really really sad, but now that I'm older, a little wiser, and have someone whom I love with all of my heart, I see it as a dark but really sweet and comforting song. I really would and _will_ follow her into the afterlife, no matter what it is. Whether it's heaven, hell, or absolutely nothing at all, I'll be at her side for it.

      @@filipinagirl7393 I'm not religious, but I firmly believe in the passage "Love is patient, Love is kind", which contains "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth". Your man could not be honest with you (he cheated), so his love for you was not as yours was for him. The man you loved wasn't actually the man himself, but a better man that who he could be. It's so sad that he was not worthy of the love you had for him, but so it goes. You will, in time, find another that does, and realise that above all else in a relationship - there must be "truth". I hope you are ok.

    I sing this to my daughter all the time. She's five. She has cerebral palsy. She was born very very early and she and I both passed away during birth. It was very traumatic but we both survived. She's now a healthy vibrant little thing, fighting the good fight as we diligently try to help her learn to walk and live the best possible life. She is such a bright happy white light and what can sometimes be a very dark situation and pulls both of her parents through everyday. She loves to hear me sing this song. She can't fully talk yet but she sure can hold a note. This might be one of her favorite songs that her mama sings. Children with cerebral palsy don't have a very long life expectancy. When she decides it's time for her to go, I'll be right there with her. 💜

    As sad as it sounds, I was introduced to this song by a girl from Canada that I never met in person. We met somewhere around 2001 on MSN chat and talked for hours a day for years and one night on video chat she just started singing, it hit me on a deep level. That was well over a decade ago and it's just stuck with me like a bad habit. Sadly we grew up and drifted apart.

    What a genius music video. The imagery of the tiny hole (Idea of death) growing from the minuscule thing we never think of as a child. Gradually growing larger and larger to when it's unavoidable later in life. Then the reality that maybe it's nothing to be scared of or worried about.

    Lyrics:
    Love of mine
    Someday you will die
    But I'll be close behind
    I'll follow you into the dark
    No blinding light
    Or tunnels, to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight
    Waiting for the hint of a spark
    If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
    I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
    And I held my tongue as she told me
    "Son, fear is the heart of love, " so I never went back
    And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    You and me have seen everything to see
    From Bangkok to Calgary
    And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
    The time for sleep is now
    But it's nothing to cry about
    'Cause we'll hold each other soon
    In the blackest of rooms
    And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark
    Then I'll follow you into the dark

She is an artist and she actually became a tattoo artist and she tattooed it on me herself for my birthday. I'm totally disabled and she's my sole caretaker. I've tried to get insurance to help but they won't send me home health nurse to alleviate my wife from caring for me. We've always loved this song and it's especially been meaningful given our situation and my failing health. I love her to pieces, sometime I just feel really bad, like I'm a burden at 31 years old. It sucks but I'm glad she loves me and we can share music like this that we grew up on and really cherish it together. It eases some of the pain being able to feel loved and validated hearing words that we both hold dear for each other. What a wonderful song that holds so much meaning for so many different people.

    I always thought this music video was about depression, that hole represents the emptiness you feel when you’re depressed, starts off small & it continues to grow. & as it grows bigger & bigger every day you learn to move your way around it & ignore it as best you can without falling into that hole. That’s why at the end he just lets himself fall & when he realizes it’s not that deep of a whole he comes to an understanding that death is not as bad, so he sinks deeper & dies or commits suicide. That’s why you don’t see the hole or him at the end of the video because there was never a hole, there was just his depression. The singer did say the song was about loosing a loved one & coming to the realization that we’re all going to die someday, maybe he just lost somebody & is depressed?

      Get some help with that. It’s no way to live.
      What’s the point of life if you’re constantly consumed with the thought that you’re gonna die one day?
      We all die. It’s unavoidable. It’s also nothing to be afraid of.
      Most people that grow old are far more accepting of that fact. Some even long for the release.
      I’d like to believe that when I’m old as dirt and am on my way out I won’t be afraid. I’ll be ready to go. I’ll have lived my life, raised my children and accomplished what I wanted. What more could a person desire?
      I’ve always thought death will be a lot like it was before I was born. The absence of everything. No consciousness, no feelings, no thoughts, nothing. You wouldn’t even be aware of it. It’s really nothing to be scared of. You won’t have the ability to be afraid of it. So why let it control your life?
      I assume you’re young. Deal with your fear now so you can enjoy what time you have left.
      I’d bet if you do you’ll be ready and willing to go when your time comes.

Nearly 20 years of constant awareness of your mortality. for nearly 20 years, you go to bed every single night and think "Another day is gone that I will never get back. I'm another day closer now."
      And just try to imagine nothingness. Can you? Can you really? Can you imagine not existing? Everything just being gone, forever, and none of it mattered?

    I lost my daughter 2 years ago. It is hard to find a song that truly captures the emotion like this. She died suddenly and unexpectedly of illness and I was not with her.
    It is hard to find out and not have had a chance to be there. I could not see her immediately after for this reason. I knew I could not walk back out of the room with her.
    I have a younger daughter. I had to stay strong for her. It is incredibly hard. I sit alone all of the time thinking of her. They both need me and I can only be with one.

    I’ve loved this song since I was just a clueless teenage girl with no idea what love really was. Now, over a decade later, I’m married to the love of my life, and I realize it’s funny- all the things you can feel for just one person.
    I think one of the most powerful and profound feelings we’ve experienced together is the awe that what we have is so real. After sex, after dinner, after making up from an argument, sometimes we just look at each other and quietly thank the universe, because we’re so lucky, and it’s so rare to feel so safe in your love.
    We are not religious, and we certainly believe death is final. If he died before me, it would be the worst pain I can imagine to not be physically with him every day. But a piece of him is with me everywhere I go, safely tucked inside my heart.
    The truth is we will both die someday, but I’m not afraid. Because of him, I have experienced the best of what it means to be alive.

    One of my best friends and his girlfriend died together in a car accident in 2020, his little sister added this song to their slide show during the service. Every once in a while I come back and listen just to feel them again.

    2 years ago i lost my mom and I sung this song for her I her death bed so she would feel that I'm always right beside her and I'll never forget about her and I'll always love her no matter what she was very kind and sweet to my kids she bought them toys and I know that she was apart of their childhood and I told them this and once I did they cried for weeks and weeks and after our dogs died and they only had them as their friends they loved them with all their heart I remember them playing together in our home when she came from Las Vegas..I love her and miss her so much she was the best to my kids I love them...

    I always thought this song was about suicide when I was a moody youngster & it first came out. Now after being madly in love w the love of my life for 12 years+ eternity, I feel it’s about dying of a broken heart 💔 I know if he were to pass I would follow him into the dark shortly after. When people are deeply in love+live w each other for many many years their heart rates synchronize 💞 love is a beautiful

    It’s comforting in a way to find that a lot of other people come to this song when losing a loved one. This is one of the few songs I can play on guitar, and I play it every time a loved one passes. Today I’m playing for my beloved Margot, rest easy sweetheart I’ll always cherish our time together and forever love you.
