    This song manages to be positive yet melancholy at the same time. Whilst a lot of songs evoke emotions of rising to the top, reaching the peak, and feelings of euphoria, to me this song emulates how it feels rising up from the bottom and looking up to what is to come.

    Heard this a few weeks ago on Pandora. The title, the sound, the beauty... reminded me of my daughter. She passed 3 years ago at 2 1/2 years old, in her sleep. Never stop creating. Thanks for the beauty, Shook.

    I'd like to say I'm rational but this is nuts. I heard this song in my head one night drifting off to sleep before I ever knew of it, and I wondered why but it just stuck with me in its beauty. Six months later I heard this song on Pandora and felt utterly crazy, almost scared of myself.
    That was the day I met my wife.
    I can't put into words how that made me feel thinking back. That was the moment love reached back in time and found me. It was something spiritual.
    Shook, I don't think it needs to be said after years of this being up with so many comments of endearment, but I will never forget this song or what it means to my life. It will always personify the light of my life wherever it may shine. Thank you for being a creator.

Everything is where it needs to be... everything will be okay. There is no reason for panic, anxiety, fear, dread, anger, disbelief... of the situation you're in. This specific moment was brought on by this specific song, "You were bigger than life" by Shook - 2016. Thank you

    Downstairs a family gather to say goodbye to a loved one - their tears mingling with each other as they hug and sob realising this is the end
    Two miles away a proud father prepares to walk his only child down the aisle towards her destiny
    The two lovers make their vows wreathed in smiles

    Heard this song at my job! Sounds like something that would be in Interstellar.

    Much like the others here, I stumbled across this on Pandora sometime last year and instantly fell in love with your music.

    This song is absolutely amazing. Just puts you in the zone. Have to listen to it at least twice when it comes up.

    I recently lost my phone and my earpods, i got depressed and sad because of obvious reasons, but after listening to this song I finally felt happy again, happy and content, thankful to the world of music and the world in general, thank you for this beautiful music, thank you for making me see the value of live and the world.

    This is the musical equivalent of zoning out in the shower.
