    This song speaks to me. My husband died 8 years ago, when I heard this song, "I am terrified of waking up alone." "in my mind, in my mind I can breathe it back to life". It makes me cry....because I could feel the depth of my loss. I am know finding my way on a new path, but when I hear this song, it still makes me cry...

      I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I wish you the best and hope that music still impacts your life in a positive way. Much love to you and I hope to meet you down the road.
      Best,

      That makes 2 of us!! Im glad to hear I'm not the only one that this happened to lol,,..I heard this song some months ago in a Starbucks in downtown Seattle, I tried and tried to find out who it was and finally on January 6th,2021 I walked into a different Starbucks and it was playing, the song was almost over so I rushed over to the speaker in the corner and turned on my Shazam and had to stand on the trash to get it to work, it gave people a good laugh but it had to be done lol.. I've never been so drawn to a group and all their music like I have with River Whyless, not trying to sound all crazy but their music has guided me through alot recently , I cant stop listening to their music, Now I'm just trying to figure out why!

    My bf and I heard this song on a "Mountains Playlist" on a recent road trip. This was one of my favorite songs on it! Idk why exactly but it makes me cry. Maybe it's bc the last decade of my life is really catching up to me these days. I've made peace with childhood stuff. I got divorced a few years ago. I love the person I'm with now and want it to work out. I'm trying to navigate a cancer/health scare rn...Idk. Life just never stops coming. This song makes me want to hold on to the good stuff for as long as I can.

    Lyrics ❤
    Long-time lover, have you gone?
    I left you walking through the parking lot of a Motel 6
    As I turned our van back east
    Somewhere on the road we lost our way
    In my mind, in my mind
    I can save us all I can breathe it all back to life
    In my mind and in my mind, I've spent my whole life movin'
    I've spent my whole life on a road
    From a dream, I'm wakin' up
    And for the first time, I'm terrified of wakin' up alone
    Within the shade of my delusion
    I drive into the night
    I drive into a lie that I deemed worth living all my life
    And in my hands, a child is dying
    In my mind, in my mind
    I can save the boy I can breathe it all back to life
    In my mind and in my mind I've spent my whole life movin'
    I've spent my whole life on a road
    From a dream, I'm wakin' up
    And for the first time, I'm terrified of wakin' up alone
    I'm terrified of wakin' up alone
