    I have no idea how he got through those opening lines without losing it completely. As raw and heartfelt as ever a song was sung. He's incredible.

    Depression at its worst is terrifying, It has a hold of you and you don’t feel in control, you may have bad insomnia too with it and feel full of self loathing and shame over things as your mind drags up everything in your past to torment you. It’s horrific and it takes lives when people feel there’s no escape

    • @leenieledejo6849
      @leenieledejo6849 15 днів тому

      Yes, there's an escape and his name is Jesus and there's power in his Name alone.
      Because at that level (and I used to live it and MISTAKENLY believe there was no solution) it's a spiritual/demonic attack.
      You can only "fight" spiritual with spiritual. Ephesians 6:12.
      Jesus is King of the spiritual realm and every demon MUST flee at his name.
      People used to know the Bible (or at least the New Testament or at least the four Gospels) so they used to know this fact.

  • @kaylene2508

    Maybe, the loss was too recent and too raw, for a lead-in? Can we all please just pause for a moment to say thank you to Paul for his musical contribution to the memories of those privileged enough to view his video antics and hear his musical talents. As is stated, very audibly at the end of this "Love you Paul."
