Direct Quotes for the Lyrics
Yishai Schlissel, stabbed 6 people at Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem
“[My purpose was] to kill in the name of God”
Anne Frank, holocaust victim
“It is God that has made us who we are, but it will be God, too, who will raise us up again…it might even be our religion from which the world and all people learn good, for that reason alone do we have to suffer now.”
Elie Wiesel, holocaust survivor
“Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.” (in reference to the incineration of his fellow Jews)
Patience Carter, Pulse nightclub shooting survivor
‘The guilt of feeling grateful to be alive is heavy. Wanting to smile about surviving, but not sure if the people you are with are ready. As the world mourns the people killed and viciously slain, I feel guilty about screaming about my leg in pain because I can feel nothing, like the other 49 who weren’t so lucky to feel the pain of mine. I never thought in a million years this could happen. I never thought in a million years my eyes could witness something so tragic. Looking at the souls leaving the bodies of individuals, looking at the killer’s machine gun throughout my right peripheral, looking at the blood and debris covered on everyone’s faces, looking at the gunman’s feet under the stall as he paces. The guilt of feeling lucky to be alive is heavy. It is like the weight of the ocean’s walls crushing uncontrolled by levees. It’s like being drug through the grass with a shattered leg, and thrown on the back of a Chevy, and being rushed to the hospital and told you’re going to make it when you lay beside individuals whose lives were brutally taken. The guilt of being alive is heavy.’
Felecia Sanders, Emanuel AME Church (Charleston, SC) shooting survivor, whose son was a victim
“You have killed some of the most beautifulest people I know. Every fiber of my body hurts and I’ll never be the same. “I watched my son come into this world and I watched my son leave this world.”
Bridge is a response to Manhattan driver’s statement: “stated that he felt good about what he had done.”

After enjoying your work with Hillary Klug, I decided to check out your channel, Brenna. After hearing this moving song, I subscribed.
We skipped the light fandango...
I follow you on instagram … and you show up here too. You are remarkable.
Must agree with other posters. WTF this is not over a mil views is beyond me. YT algorithm is screwing you my dear...
Qué preciosa
Original, Unique, and Beautiful Singing Voice!! ❤️🎵🎶 And, Excellent Guitar Playing!! ❤️🎵🎶 Powerful Song as Well!! You have a Gift and Loads of Talent!! ❤️🎵🎶👍🎵🎶🎤🎵🎶🙏❤️😎 P.S. Next time, Please Wear Soft Sneakers or Socks when Recording; Re: Mics are Sensitive and Pick up Everything!! 😕😲 And, even though Your Tapping is right in the Groove in Perfect Time,.... It's also Annoying when trying to Listen to the Nuances of Your Wonderful Song, Singing, and Playing Guitar. Just a Bit of Constructive Criticism, ok. So NOW YOU KNOW,.... I'm Surprised that No Sound Recording Engineer has ever told You about NOISY TAPPING!! 😲
Fender...is it old? '60's ? it has the closet Rod inside...I have a Villager 12
Sucks to look for more love whenever you're in love with one right I know I'm going through it right now two and a half years of being without my girl and just seeing thinking of what she's doing right now hurts the feelings cuz I do didn't always will but like I said that's up to them that's not up to me to go running and chasing that's up to her to come back right I used to love listening to you and Hillary and everybody else play I mean you was like the best in the world of UA-cam at the time I still enjoy you guys you ought to get back together that's if they're all still alive I don't mean to say that but after what's happening with covid and everything else it's hard to tell
move to the side country singers BREANNA is going to sing,
Beautiful, but in my opinion little bit disturbing banging on floor with food and quitar is more soundly like singing of beatiful voice
Just call I'll talk k
Well really stinks is having to sit here and watch other people act like you I mean I love watching you play and listening to you sing it kind of ignorant to see somebody else specially somebody you know is that they're trying to act like somebody that you started listening to back in good God I don't know how long he's all just kids then Miami Mary's to do the bluegrass thing all the time
Nice Breanna will you please tell Hillary to text me,
