Keeping this going, for all the amazing and sad memories. Lost my Mom (Bertha) from C0V1D on April 2020. 🙏🏼🕊💕. It was a horrific loss for me, since I wasn’t allowed in to touch, kiss or see her. Tell her Goodbye, on the amazing job she did as my Mom. She deserved to have me there. 🌹🌹💐
sorry for your loss man!!! It is a painfull thing but I am sure she is up there having a lot of fun knowing that she did her best for her family !!! Celebrate and Cry! Cry and move on ..still loving what´s gone...still life carries on!!! Carpe Diem
Elena Korostylova I’m sorry for your loss as well. Wow on your Birthday. My Mom passed a week after my Birthday. While lethargic, she told the Doctor it was my Birthday and remembered. She passed a week later. My condolences for your loss. 🙏🏼
First heard this when I was 17. I always liked it but never understood it. Forward this winding road 25 years later and It hits me so hard. Lost my dad in 2013, brother to drugs in 2019 and Mom to Covid in 2020. This is the first i really listened to this song in years. Im an absolute mess, but feel so relieved. This pain sucks. I hope everyone dealing loss finds a way to obtain peace and love to help us move forward. Never forget, but always move forward.
My wife and I lost our only daughter. She was 4. Her and I shared the same birthday. It happened so quickly. The lyrics “nothing has really sunk in.” hit me good Because it reminded me of those moments, hours after she passed and we had to explain and relive the moment again not just with close ones but with our 2 sons who were at school. I grieve with all of you for your losses. Much love.
I've got my 2 doses of the Vaccine shot now fully Vaccinate from Covid 19 4 months ago back on February!If anyone haven't gotten the Vaccine shot now it's time to please roll up your sleeves and get the Vaccine shot now so we can get back to our normal lives end social distancing and Covid 19 Pandemic once and for all!We Can Do This!
My husband Joe died 9-29-17 this song is healing 38 years together met when we were 16 years old. Every word rings truth to me. Going to 4 year this September and feels like it happen yesterday. Rip Joe my forever ❤️💔🥺😢
i love my daughter and am blessed with her everyday..... but i couldn’t even think of what you went through and are going through still. We offer prayers
The most beautiful, moving song about grief and loss I have ever heard. 'So hard to move on, Still loving what's gone. Still life carries on...' RIP Mum (1945-1991)
My mom passed away July 1998. I was 22. I miss her every damn day & this is the only song that helped me deal with her loss without going completely nuts.
carried my dad on my shoulder today to lay him to rest on his final journey. Hope i made you proud and i will continue to do so. make sure you watch over me from time to time. Rest in peace. im ok.
Close to two months since my Mother passed. I cried so many times, but it wasn't until two weeks ago when I heard this song, after years of not having listened to it, that I really grieved. I think I cried for hours alone.
@@gabby20 Very sorry for your loss also. It's always there , but the initial ache that you're feeling right now does lessen with time. It's not easy and it takes time to recover. Let yourself mourn and come to terms with it all. Praying for you.
Lyrics: 🎶 It was only one hour ago It was all so different then 💔 Nothing yet has really sunk in Looks like it always did This flesh and bone Is just the way that we are tied in But there's no one home I grieve, for you 💔 You leave, me So hard to move on Still loving what's gone 💔 They say life carries on Carries on and on and on and on The news that truly shocks Is the empty, empty page While the final rattle rocks It's empty, empty cage And I can't handle this I grieve, for you 💔 You leave, me Let it out and move on Missing what's gone 💔 They say life carries on 💔 They say life carries on and on and on Life carries on in the people I meet ❤ In everyone that's out on the street In all the dogs and cats In the flies and rats In the rot and the rust In the ashes and the dust Life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on Life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on Just the car that we ride in The home we reside in The face that we hide in The way we are tied in As life carries on and on and on and on Life carries on and on and on Did I dream this belief Or did I believe this dream? Now I will find relief I grieve 💔 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Anyone who has lost someone they love. Right from those very first lyrics and music, the songs packs a punch. I’d give anything to hold two very special people that I have lost. 💔💔
This song is so overwhelming I can listen to it only from time to time although it's a masterpiece. Peter Gabriels voice is so heart touching - I guess it's because it sounds so fragile and vulnerable.
I just lost my brother this past week, and although it's tough to listen to this song, it gives me comfort. Noticed that Peter Gabriel has been the soundtrack of my life, my wife and I danced The Book Of Love as the valtz of our wedding, and now I'm finding comfort with my brother's.
I’m so very sorry. I know that pain. And I truly hope that the memories you have of him are happy ones and that they make you smile and laugh as much as they bring tears. If you ever need a friend, reach out.
sitting at lunch listening to this crying, having lost a dear friend early this week. such a raw wound, an emptiness that won't soon or ever be fixed. 😭😭
I listened to this sound track a lot when my 93 year old grandmother passed away. She told me before she passed she loved her life and accomplished everything she wanted to. She was a classy, and fiesty lady. She didn't suffer that much, for which I am grateful. I miss her and remember her every day.
This is for my grandmother, 95 years old and gone today. I miss her already. This song has helped me through all the deaths I've had in my life so far. What a masterpiece
This song for me is not just related to the physically departed loved ones, it's also grieving for loved partner's where the flame simply diminished to hot, burning coals or went out completely... Love is powerful
Its the emptiest feeling i have ever known. If they were gone it would almost be an easier feeling than watching the one who you have loved become somebody that dosent care what the aftermath of their own actions have done to you and loved ones who want that person they can see back but they are just never going to care or realize............
Well said even lost pets moments even missed with loved ones alive even for others I haven't met like Sept 911 I mean Muslims & all as there was a lot of different people in them buildings firefighters etc ,that also perished in those buildings
I lost my mom last year, on July 10th, 2023 and it still hurts so much. I miss her every day. I had just returned home, and I only had five more days with her. I love you from here to infinity.
I was daddy,s little girl! Even when i grew up. Today is my beloved dad birthday.life is not the same when my parents went to the lord.i miss them so much. Thanks Peter Gabriel for this special song.🙏🏻😢❤️ RIP to all ! 🙏🏻
my mother has just passed about 3 weeks ago. The lyrics and music helps me grieve. Every time I put this song on. It helps me... God bless you Peter, you're a true blessing in my heart.
This would have been right around when mine died. This song gave solace for our pain, and our pain is honored through that. The deaths of our mothers were not in vain, my friend.
I can tell that most of people who writes here are feeling their mom's or son's loss. Same on me. Mom passed away 2 years and 7 months..... I still ask myself how could she fade away in a blink. Hope times get better for all of us
I Lost my MOM and DAD in the same year...!!! I will never get over it....I still Greave...I lost my Wife her sister and their Mother alot of old friends and last my lil dog Tasha...right before Christmas 2018... I find myself Sad and Alone in 2019... Don't know what to do... Please Pray for me...!!!
Get in a Church if you are not in one . And if you are alone there find a new one ! There is friendship and perhaps companionship out there! Love and prayers sent up and your way.
try to celebrate him, to love for him each day as if he lives in you and you want to make him happy, and remember that he wants you to be happy, so choose that
reading all of these comments under this song, I can feel the pain from each person. we have all lost someone special to us and through music we can heal and numb the pain for just a little while. I pray we all can heal and no body here is alone.
+Chloe baby these comments that I read under here really make me upset and emotional, I cant even imagine the unbearable pain, I know one day it will come, but I don't want that day to come.. they are my life, I will be truly alone when that day happens, so not sure how ill function or cope, Id miss them so much.
RIP daddy. Your son from the earth realm reaching out August 2021 u left my side.........you are deeply missed. So hard to move on still loving what's gone.......still life carries on.......I was in my late teens when this soundtrack came out and I had to have this CD. Fast fwd 20 yrs the meaning of these songs hasn't changed it's only gotten more intense. Life indeed carries on in the people I meet.
Mom died 12/21 and I will never, ever be the same. Nothing I do, think, say, accomplish, etc, matters because she is not here to share it with. I'm 44 and she was just 71. It was sudden. She had a stomach bug for a couple of days, declined rapidly, hospitalized and died within 24 hours of hospitalization. The hospital is responsible. I won't get into it. The point is that my rock, my best friend, is gone. And I'm still here. She was the most amazing woman. It's not getting easier. There's no point to anything if she's not here to witness it. If I could be just a fraction like her, I'd be an incredible woman. She was a force of nature. I'll carry you in my soul forever, Mami. You are precious to me. Maria Cintora 5/15/50 - 12/21/21
@@robinhochmuth5696 thank you so much for your kindness! I truly appreciate your kind words. Strangely, two years later, I still feel the same. But I do get to dream of her every night. I literally dream of her every night. And she is exactly as she was, in my dreams, she is exactly as she was. So I still get to see my mom everyday, sure, in a very unusual way. But I thank God for this blessing. Again, thank you so much for your kindness
You never truly get over losing what you have loved. The Grief stays with you all your life. But as my Native Grandmother taught me....Everything must die! You have to accept the loss but to forget is not in the human condition. Our love is the most powerful emotion. It follows us everywhere we go.
some school-friend ("head-cancer", my sister (best friend), my over-all loved daddy, even before my only 2 uncles, my free chosen grandma, my real grandparents...... I really know I know suffering!
I lost my mother this year on March 29th,2021.She was 88 had she lived to April 7th it would have been her 89th birthday.The past 8 months have been tough but thank god I have good friends.My father died 25 and half years ago so in my lifetime I have lost two parents.You can only learn to cope with the grief and time does not heal all wounds.
This song is for my cousin, he was like a brother to me, my best friend. He died on September 4th 2013 after a long 12 year battle with brain cancer. I miss him so much, r.i.p Chris
Grieve (no one knows for how long) grieve for the losses and the might have been. Love, lose and learn. Carry on, by knowing that you are loved. Anyone who is loved is never really lost. We all benefit from your presence ✨ Carry on... ⏳💭🕊
This may sound silly to some people, but I lost one of my best friends today. A companion that gave me unconditional love. My dog, Tanner. I had to have him put down today. I have already lost and grieved for most of my human loved ones and my animals are my family. They have truly helped me get through my many losses. I was unable to have children, so my pets were my kids. And they behave like children. Tanner wouldn't let me out of his sight. He was always by my side and if I was having a bad day, he would sit and look at me with those eyes that let me know he understood. I think they know how we feel before we do. A lot of people either don't or are unable to understand the pain of losing a pet. Hell, I like my animals more than I do most people. They have no agenda or ill will. All they want is our love and to please us. They ask for nothing in return. His death breaks my heart and I felt the need to express it. I will grieve over him. He was my family. Thank you for allowing me to vent a little of that pain. It's now time to cry some healing tears.
Miss Diane I stumbled across this post while I was trying to post a picture of mine. Please let me offer my most heartfelt condolences over the loss of your companion, "Tanner." About 2 months ago I posted the loss of my Faithful Friend, "Lucky." I still haven't picked up his bed, of bowls. My "Lucy," was having a real problem with the loss of her packmate. She even stopped eating, and I had to start hand feeding her. Every once in a while, she will still search my little hobble and yard for him. The decision that; "Today, is The Day," is soul grinding. Another animal lover friend of mine sent me this piece. MAKING THAT FINAL DECISION TO SAY GOOD-BYE You're giving me a special gift, So sorrowfully endowed, And through these last few cherished days, Your courage makes me proud. But really, love is knowing When your best friend is in pain, And understanding earthly acts Will only be in vain. So looking deep into your eyes, Beyond, into your soul, I see in you the magic, that will Once more make me whole. The strength that you possess, Is why I look to you today, To do this thing that must be done, For it's the only way. That strength is why I've followed you, And chose you as my friend, And why I've loved you all these years... My partner till the end. Please, understand just what this gift You're giving, means to me, It gives me back the strength I've lost, And all my dignity. You take a stand on my behalf, For that is what friends do. And know that what you do is right, For I believe it too. So one last time, I breathe your scent, And through your hand I feel, The courage that's within you, To now grant me this appeal. Cut the leash that holds me here, Dear friend, and let me run, Once more a strong and steady dog, My pain and struggle done. And don't despair my passing, For I won't be far away, Forever here, within your heart, And memory I'll stay. I'll be there watching over you, Your ever faithful friend, And in your memories I'll run, ... a young dog once again. -- author unknown Dear Good Lady, in my heart of hearts, I believe with all certainty, one day I will be reunited with all that I have loved, and lost in this life. Please Be Well, and Stay Strong. Also, remember, "Tanner," lived for your love, and approval, and he would never want you to be sad, and unhappy. Will.
RIDETHESUNSHINE Thank you for your thoughtful reply. And you are right. It is a soul wrenching decision but any other decision I made would have been selfish on my part. I have never, nor will I ever, let any of my animals suffer because I don't want to deal with the loss of any of my beloved pets. They rely on us to do what's best for them. He was such a funny guy. I would go into the bathroom and when I would come out a few minutes later, you would have thought I had been on a 2 week vacation. He was so happy to see me. He was a wonderful piece of work. Thank you for you caring reply.
RIDETHESUNSHINE I read the last part of your comment ( A companions parting feelings) and it allowed even more tears to be shed. Healthy, healing tears. No matter how sure we are that we are doing the right thing for our four legged family member, It can be difficult convincing yourself something you already know is the right thing to do (if that makes any sense). I loved the fella. He was like Velcro on me. I spoiled him rotten, which he was fully aware of, but how could I not spoil him. It was his eyes. He knew how to read me. Thank you so much for those words. I feel more assured that I did the right thing, not that I had doubts. But it's helpful to hear it from somebody else. Thanks for your support. Diane
MissDistarr "I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive". Gilda Radner I am reminded of an old Judy Collin's verse, and chorus;" "... I still see the ghosts Of all I knew long ago Inside the old kitchen They bend and sigh My life passed them up And the world passed them by Secret Gardens of the heart Where the old stay young forever I see you shining through the night In the ice and snow of winter...." In my N.D.E., I know what I felt, thought, and remembered, It doesn't all end here. First Law of Energy Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. This means that you can’t make energy out of nothing- the total amount of energy in the universe is a constant. The circle will be unbroken...
When my father passed away in February this year this songs/lyrics were like written for me in a good way it captures what I felt and still feel now. Grief comes and goes for me, my father was 87 he never drank ate healthy, he suffered Parkinson’s disease then got alzheimers, I was fortunate to spend the last week of his life with him. I played him songs told him he was an incredible man, father and grandfather. When I’m down or feeling angry I look up in the sky and see his face and feel joy and it calms me down. My father will always be with me in my heart and in the sky. I still grieve but life carry’s on and on ❤️
Life goes on and on...To this day I choose not to go into the neighborhood where my mate lived (my sweetheart) because even though its been since Dec. 29th, 2009 it is like yesterday. Some memories make me laugh, sometimes I cry. His personality somehow allowed me to do whatever I wanted, and I didn't realize it until 2-3 yrs. afterward. I read once that Love is about making somebody happy. This is what I believe, and I don't analyze it any more. I'll see him again with Jesus
I lost my grandmother unexpectedly November 23, 2015. She was in good health and such a happy sweet funny generous woman. Me her and my mom were all very close. We seen her all the time and she loved my son so much. We all miss her dearly. Life just isn't the same without her.
MY BROTHER GAVE ME THIS CD AS A GIFT FOR X-MASS LITTLE DID I KNOW HOW MUCH MEANING IT WOULD HAVE AS HE PASSED AWAY. I MISS HIM SO MUCH I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH
My wife and the mother of our ten year old son passed away a few hours ago in a car accident here in North Texas. Melody Jean Lamora, May 5th 1985 to August 15th 2017. May God's love be with you always. I think we understood each other in some fundamental way, the truth of how life can be a merciless experience amidst the waves and rocks. If we aren't able to raise one another up, what are we here for? Kindness lasts beyond our reach.
I never imagined the grieving of someone who is still alive. Addicts thinks they have it so rough...the people who loves them are in grieving while we have to watch them wither away choosing other things over love 😭😭😭😢😔
My dad passed on Valentine’s Day 2001. My Grandpa passed 3 months later…F cancer…It took 15 years to heal from it, I’ve been clean for 7 and I think they’d finally be proud🥺 I still grieve.
Had to revisit this song after what happened last week. Many have lost friends and family the past 2 years from covid. I've lost a few friends in that time but none were from covid. One had cardiac arrest, another lost a years-long battle with ALS, another is still alive but bedridden with stage 4 cancer. A close friend woke up last wednesday not feeling well but told his wife he would just rest and take it easy. She went to work, called and texted later in the day but no response. She went home and found him already gone from a heart attack. Took nearly 2 days to get through initial grieving. "Did I dream this belief? Or did I believe this dream?" Takes time for it to sink in that they're gone. stay close to family and friends because you don't know what will happen from one day to the next. Never take life for granted.
Thank u Peter Gabrielle, for putting into song the most amazing emotional connection to our lost loved ones. My wife, brother, nephew, Aunt GG-ma, and more. This song helps relieves the pain. Luv ur music.
Amazing song. Excruciatingly sad to begin with, but finds redemption in the later part. A typical example of the genius we're come to expect from this guy.
Lots of his songs change like that towards the end, but this one I love the beginning so much I wish it didn’t have that upbeat part although I know why it’s there.
@@pj4433 I know what you mean. I usually don't like a big change in a song. Except in this song I love the first part a lot, and the second part even more. The first part is about his loss. The second part is about the decedent's loss. Both are limitlessly sad. But when someone dies, their loss is incomprehensibly huge: they miss out on life carrying on. For me the second part exalts that like nothing else.
Rest in peace mom. This is not easy at all😭. Lost my mom 19 April 2021. She was all alone in the hospital and was not allowed to see her. She had a stroke and couldn't talk and her other side was not functioning. Covid season stole my last moments with mom. The pain of only if...
I grieve for us. Words fail me to give description to something so beautiful and perfect that ended before it began. But its shadow covers me. Holds me in desperate pain. A never ending grieving that births anew each day.
My Grandpa passed away this week and his funeral was today. This song has helped me grieve with all the loved ones I've lost along my journey through life. 1 by 1 for several years. Pete was pure genius on this tune and it will play at my funeral one day. Thanks Pete for the blessing of this song. RIP Pop
One of my work colleagues just lost his baby boy. I have two beautiful sons of my own, and I cannot help but immerse myself in the agony my colleague must be feeling. To every soul who has lost a child, my heart goes out to you.
I died to myself and to this world. Now nothing reaches me, inspires me or moves me. I walk as though I am an illusion through a sea of dead people. I greave, for myself. For my wasted time, my wasted life. Only God knows what am I to do next.
I used to listen to this song back in 1998, all the time. I was 17, I had the cd soundtrack and I loved it. I didn't know back then that my whole life was going to be this very long grief of so many people. Losing friendships, love relationships, soulmates, friends, family....and, today at 42 when I listen to this song it's like I remember everything from the past....I feel like crying so much, thinking of 98, thinking of my youth and the years that went by...I miss you all, and I love you all, ....forever...one star ✩💖✨♡😘
I grieve for my beautiful dog Ember! It’s been two years since she crossed the Rainbow Bridge! It never gets easier! She’s a part of my heart and always will be! I know I will see her again over the Bridge waiting for me!
Mein Mann hat sich im Alter von 69 Jahren in der Psychiatrie das Leben genommen. Wir waren 51 Jahre zusammen und ich bin so unendlich traurig darüber. Dieses Lied lief zu Beginn der Trauerfeier und es bleibt immer in meinem Herzen. 💗
Your words touched my heart. I carried my beloved Tallulah out to look at the stars the last night of her life. They were so bright and I told her she would be shining down on me for the rest of my life. I have thought of her every day for 16 years. I feel your grief and
Any loss leaves a mark, at any time you are 50% you and 50% you are broken... I guess it never goes you just get used to hiding it.😢I feel for all your loves lost. 💔
My husband lost his battle with cancer. Loving him changed my life. It should come as no surprise that losing him has done the same. He was the greatest gift in my life. I exist somewhere between the pain of his death and the joy of his life. With him went so much of me. People talk about grief as an emptiness, but it's not empty. It's full. Heavy. Not an absence to fill. A weight to pull. Your skin caught on hooks chained to rough boulders made of all the futures you thought you'd had. I don't know how to look at my life without seeing an inescapable absence of him. Missing him comes in waves. Tonight I am drowning.... #FuckYouCancer
The Lyrics..... Grieve- Peter Gabriel It was only one hour ago It was all so different then Nothing yet has really sunk in Looks like it always did This flesh and bone It's just the way that we are tied in But there's no one home I grieve... for you You leave... Me So hard to move on Still loving what's gone Said life carries on... Carries on and on and on... And on The news that truly shocks is the empty, empty page While the final rattle rocks Its empty, empty cage... And I can't handle this I grieve... For you You leave... Me Let it out and move on Missing what's gone Said life carries on... I said life carries on and on... And on Life carries on in the people I meet In every one that's out on the street In all the dogs and cats In the flies and rats the rot and the rust In the ashes and the dust Life carries on and on and on... And on Life carries on and on and on... Life carries on and on and on... And on Life carries on and on and on... Just the car that we ride in The home we reside in The face that we hide in The way we are tied in As life carries on and on and on... And on Life carries on and on and on... Did I dream this belief Or did I believe this dream How I will find relief I grieve...
Splendida! Di una bellezza e di una verita' quasi intollerabili, che si incidono quasi visivamente nella mente e nel corpo, sia con le parole che con la musica, che aderiscono l'un l'altra "like this flesh and bone".
Non mi sembra pero' assolutamente che si parli della morte di qualcuno, ma di elaborazione del lutto per la fine di una storia, forse per il divorzio (che per Gabriel, si sa, e' stato fonte di un dolore profondo, da cui era gia' sorto l'album "Us").
"Did I dream this belief / Or did I believe this dream": la sua abituale concettosita', che non e' semplice gioco di parole, ma profondita' psicologica. Purtroppo intraducibile in italiano, se non con approssimazione: "Ho sognato cio' che mi sembra vero / o mi e' sembrato vero questo sogno?" Geniale, semplicemente geniale!
My heart breaks when i hear this song. I was 14 years old when my cousin was brutally murdered by her ex boyfriend. she was like my sister! my twin sister and i were like her barbie dolls. she use to do our makeup and cut our hair and dress us alike. drove my mom nuts. i miss her so much!!!!!! several years later her brother was shot and killed by some guy who didn't care! he to is gone and i don't understand why. i try to carry on the best way i can. we grew up together and we always had so much fun. for them to be taken away in such horrible ways just breaks my heart.
For the men in my life..my Dad..Who passed away on June 6th 2018 and my sweet life partner Gilson Cole Mckenney who passed away on August 6th 2018...How I grieve for them both!
Such a sad song,it`s very difficult to carry on after losing someone you loved,I lost my mom just a week ago,it`s terrible,I really miss her very much!
So sorry for your loss , i too miss both my mom and dad and brother whos passed over but sadly we all face the pain one day but the only comfort is that they are starting a new life in the spirit world with God and Jesus in heaven and are waiting for us to join them one day.
Omg! I have been obsessed with this song. Still playing in 2022. More than ever I grieve for our whole existence in 2019. The year that humbled us all!! I love each and everyone of you. Stay safe and lace up, cause 22 ain't shit to what's coming my Babies. Before they shut us down with negative and fear. Know! I one girl who ain't got shit... Loves you!!!!!
Peter Gabriel has brought a lot of people together, here, online, on UTube- sharing what is one of the most difficult times of life- loss. He doesn't even realize the impact on thousands of thousands he has made. Thank you, and for so many losses of my beloveds, I know you are close by or are waiting in a better place for me to come Home. Lessons learned through this, we are left behind, and move forward, Grief- it shifts, but we never really lose it or the person. They are a part of us, always, we have had a friendship, or relationship of Dad or Mom, sis or brother, and the conversation continues.....I grieve and I relate and I can do this, and through helping others and spend time within nature, what ever we need is one or two ways I do this. And cry. "Love carries on in the people"
i've already missed my cat.. its just been 1 day... she was a gorgeous cat both in phsycial and mental manner.. so beautiful so royal.. she was so playful, clean, hygenic, athletic, lovely and much much more.. its so hard to not to cry in the company.. the worst of it all i dont have a proper time to grieve.. i have to go to work and wait till its 18.00... died of both heart and kidney failures under the control of vet.. i just wanted to hug her one more time while conscious.. i've spent too much time and money but she needed to go.. can't men cry to hearts content?
I am really sorry for your loss. I have two cats, I can't imagine my life without them, so I kind of understand your grief. Now you should adopt a shelter cat, a rescue pet, saving it's life will bring you joy. It will help you go through the loss of your beloved cat, and also the most important thing is, you will help save the life of a fluffy helpless soul.
its 4 months now, sometimes i think about her... how she talks, moves, plays thinks.... she was my best cat, unique in many ways but 4 yrs later we lost her unfortunately..
Noyan Ozkan i lost my cat in 2012,..He was my Best friend. He was Part of my childhood and I still cant believe He is not here anymore. if there is a cat that lives for so long by your side it is like something changed in your life.. you miss and can not bring it back.. but must to learn to live with it..(sorry im german and my englisch is a little rusty :). ps. mabey our both sunshines are sitting on a cloud and mabey they are good friends ;) hugs to you :))
Keeping this going, for all the amazing and sad memories. Lost my Mom (Bertha) from C0V1D on April 2020. 🙏🏼🕊💕. It was a horrific loss for me, since I wasn’t allowed in to touch, kiss or see her. Tell her Goodbye, on the amazing job she did as my Mom. She deserved to have me there. 🌹🌹💐
sorry for your loss man!!! It is a painfull thing but I am sure she is up there having a lot of fun knowing that she did her best for her family !!! Celebrate and Cry! Cry and move on ..still loving what´s gone...still life carries on!!! Carpe Diem
I am sorry for your loss. I've lost my soulmate, my man, my all. My Richard.... also from the virus.... He was gone on my Birthday....💔
Brandon Moore Thank you 🙏🏼
Renato Sousa Thank you 🙏🏼
Elena Korostylova I’m sorry for your loss as well. Wow on your Birthday. My Mom passed a week after my Birthday. While lethargic, she told the Doctor it was my Birthday and remembered. She passed a week later. My condolences for your loss. 🙏🏼
First heard this when I was 17. I always liked it but never understood it. Forward this winding road 25 years later and It hits me so hard. Lost my dad in 2013, brother to drugs in 2019 and Mom to Covid in 2020. This is the first i really listened to this song in years. Im an absolute mess, but feel so relieved. This pain sucks. I hope everyone dealing loss finds a way to obtain peace and love to help us move forward. Never forget, but always move forward.
My wife and I lost our only daughter. She was 4. Her and I shared the same birthday. It happened so quickly. The lyrics “nothing has really sunk in.” hit me good Because it reminded me of those moments, hours after she passed and we had to explain and relive the moment again not just with close ones but with our 2 sons who were at school. I grieve with all of you for your losses. Much love.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Dang, only 4… I’m so sorry.
Must be so difficult. My daughter is 4, and I can't even imagine. I pray for you and your family.
oh my how horrible..what happened to the poor girl?
not fair and you just don't understand it
I didn't have kids but now I get older and it's sad.
rest beautiful soul
To everyone who has lost a lived one due to COVID-19, be comforted by memories of love shared.

Sorry for your loss friend. I just lose my soulmate just 2 months ago... It's so hard.
They are watching us I believe

give yourself time and remember that she wants you to be happy
My husband Joe died 9-29-17 this song is healing 38 years together met when we were 16 years old. Every word rings truth to me. Going to 4 year this September and feels like it happen yesterday. Rip Joe my forever ❤️💔🥺😢
I hope you’re doing well❤
I love how this song takes the listener from grief to recovery, just like life.
Then back to grief....
Grief never abates
@@clevermoron but you learn to live with it
Almost 8 years no recovery in sight...
RIP my daddy..Died when I was only 10...He is still in my heart. And I will never ever forget! :(
🤟
Rip, my daddy died when I was 16. I'm sorry you lost your dad when you were so young.
🕊🙏⚘
Sorry for your loss, I just lost my Dad. Grief is an interesting journey.
For my daughter... 9 yrs and 10 months passed and I miss you every single day.

I miss my daughter as well.
Hope your ok too. ❤️
i love my daughter and am blessed with her everyday..... but i couldn’t even think of what you went through and are going through still. We offer prayers

The most beautiful, moving song about grief and loss I have ever heard.
'So hard to move on,
Still loving what's gone.
Still life carries on...'
RIP Mum (1945-1991)
My mom passed away July 1998. I was 22. I miss her every damn day & this is the only song that helped me deal with her loss without going completely nuts.

carried my dad on my shoulder today to lay him to rest on his final journey. Hope i made you proud and i will continue to do so. make sure you watch over me from time to time. Rest in peace. im ok.
He is proud of you.
Close to two months since my Mother passed. I cried so many times, but it wasn't until two weeks ago when I heard this song, after years of not having listened to it, that I really grieved. I think I cried for hours alone.
Lost one of my best friends to cancer not even a week ago, it's still very raw. Love you brother. You'll be missed by so many of us. RIP. 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's only been 2 day's since I lost my friend. Does it get better
@@gabby20 Very sorry for your loss also. It's always there , but the initial ache that you're feeling right now does lessen with time. It's not easy and it takes time to recover. Let yourself mourn and come to terms with it all. Praying for you.
Lyrics: 🎶
It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then 💔
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
Is just the way that we are tied in
But there's no one home
I grieve, for you 💔
You leave, me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone 💔
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on and on
The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
It's empty, empty cage
And I can't handle this
I grieve, for you 💔
You leave, me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone 💔
They say life carries on 💔
They say life carries on and on and on
Life carries on in the people I meet ❤
In everyone that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Just the car that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
As life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Did I dream this belief
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I will find relief
I grieve 💔
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Anyone who has lost someone they love. Right from those very first lyrics and music, the songs packs a punch.
I’d give anything to hold two very special people that I have lost. 💔💔
@HamiltonLLB my heart is with you. Thank you for posting the lyrics. And thank you for sharing with us about your loss ♥️🫂
This song is so overwhelming I can listen to it only from time to time although it's a masterpiece. Peter Gabriels voice is so heart touching - I guess it's because it sounds so fragile and vulnerable.
This song is painfully beautiful.
I just lost my brother this past week, and although it's tough to listen to this song, it gives me comfort. Noticed that Peter Gabriel has been the soundtrack of my life, my wife and I danced The Book Of Love as the valtz of our wedding, and now I'm finding comfort with my brother's.
I’m so very sorry. I know that pain. And I truly hope that the memories you have of him are happy ones and that they make you smile and laugh as much as they bring tears. If you ever need a friend, reach out.
@@TanukiSC Thaaanks!!
sitting at lunch listening to this crying, having lost a dear friend early this week. such a raw wound, an emptiness that won't soon or ever be fixed. 😭😭
I listened to this sound track a lot when my 93 year old grandmother passed away. She told me before she passed she loved her life and accomplished everything she wanted to. She was a classy, and fiesty lady. She didn't suffer that much, for which I am grateful. I miss her and remember her every day.
How i wish my father could see my children. I miss you dad, hope to see you one day...
Hear you 1985 onwards
You will.
This is for my grandmother, 95 years old and gone today. I miss her already. This song has helped me through all the deaths I've had in my life so far. What a masterpiece
我也好想我奶奶
This song for me is not just related to the physically departed loved ones, it's also grieving for loved partner's where the flame simply diminished to hot, burning coals or went out completely...
Love is powerful
Its the emptiest feeling i have ever known. If they were gone it would almost be an easier feeling than watching the one who you have loved become somebody that dosent care what the aftermath of their own actions have done to you and loved ones who want that person they can see back but they are just never going to care or realize............
Well said even lost pets moments even missed with loved ones alive even for others I haven't met like Sept 911 I mean Muslims & all as there was a lot of different people in them buildings firefighters etc ,that also perished in those buildings
Your comment hit my soul adrienne
Yes. You are so right. I am
More lonely married now after 20 than I was when I was single.
When my Mom died I listened to this and screamed all night! Thank You Peter! This song helped me to move on
I lost my mom last year, on July 10th, 2023 and it still hurts so much. I miss her every day. I had just returned home, and I only had five more days with her. I love you from here to infinity.
I felt my heart beat stop...
05/03/2016... i was 36...
Lord thank you for another chance...
Blessed...
I miss you mom. It feels like yesterday.

12 years without my mom, and still hurts 💔
I’m sure she’s proud of you, brother
I just lost my mom. I know it doesn't get easier, does it?
Hoping both of you find peace! My heart hurts for you and also sends love!
I’m hoping that the memories now make you smile and laugh. My heart goes out to you, brother.
Lost my mom in 2011 - you never get over it. 😔 you just learn to live with it........
my mother has just passed about 3 weeks ago. The lyrics and music helps me grieve. Every time I put this song on. It helps me... God bless you Peter, you're a true blessing in my heart.
***** Your mother will live forerver - through your heart and through this song.
***** ...don't give up...

This would have been right around when mine died. This song gave solace for our pain, and our pain is honored through that. The deaths of our mothers were not in vain, my friend.
Marcie Racki this song gives so much respect to a brother that has passed 1 year ago. God speed brother.
My son 10/1989-2/2010, never to heal. I want that hour back, one more chance.
Mine too... 2/1998 - 1/2019. I miss you Trent...

I lost my brother 8 years ago. He was only 23. Miss you so much Tony....
Peter Gabriel is an icon and a live legend in his time..who else can give this out like Peter Gabriel?? nobody.
What Peter done in this song is stunning. The way he guide us through and this melody that just drills into your soul. Amazing.
I think the production of this track on the album version ‘Up’ is even better.
omg yes it's in your soul!
I can tell that most of people who writes here are feeling their mom's or son's loss. Same on me. Mom passed away 2 years and 7 months..... I still ask myself how could she fade away in a blink.
Hope times get better for all of us
I Lost my MOM and DAD in the same year...!!! I will never get over it....I still Greave...I lost my Wife her sister and their Mother alot of old friends and last my lil dog Tasha...right before Christmas 2018... I find myself Sad and Alone in 2019... Don't know what to do... Please Pray for me...!!!
Thinking of you Darryl. I am so sorry for your losses. That is hard. Sending love and wishing the pain to ease as you move through your grief.
Get in a Church if you are not in one .
And if you are alone there find a new one !
There is friendship and perhaps companionship out there!
Love and prayers sent up and your way.
Sorry for your losses , death is just a beginning of better
@@b.csplatbriancross7062 seriously...stfu.
I listened to this before and after my dear dad died.
I still cry..
I greive for you!
I saw Peter tonight so sad he didn't play this song
the grieving never stops
try to celebrate him, to love for him each day as if he lives in you and you want to make him happy, and remember that he wants you to be happy, so choose that
@@eternalincantation that was beautifully said..
thank you
I lost my dad today. Reading all the comments and it makes me understand that I am not alone.
reading all of these comments under this song, I can feel the pain from each person. we have all lost someone special to us and through music we can heal and numb the pain for just a little while.
I pray we all can heal and no body here is alone.
+Chloe baby these comments that I read under here really make me upset and emotional, I cant even imagine the unbearable pain, I know one day it will come, but I don't want that day to come.. they are my life, I will be truly alone when that day happens, so not sure how ill function or cope, Id miss them so much.
+Chloe baby Thank you and Bless you.
Chloe baby Thank you...💔
Non Stop it’s amazing how we do carry on... as they would have us do. Surviving is a tribute to their love and strength living on in us.
RIP daddy. Your son from the earth realm reaching out August 2021 u left my side.........you are deeply missed. So hard to move on still loving what's gone.......still life carries on.......I was in my late teens when this soundtrack came out and I had to have this CD. Fast fwd 20 yrs the meaning of these songs hasn't changed it's only gotten more intense. Life indeed carries on in the people I meet.
Tonight it's been 20 years I lost my precious son Armamd
My heart left with you
I am so sorry for your loss.... the loss of a child leaves a parent forever changed. The grief never leaves. Wishing you peace.
🙏💔
Mom died 12/21 and I will never, ever be the same. Nothing I do, think, say, accomplish, etc, matters because she is not here to share it with. I'm 44 and she was just 71. It was sudden. She had a stomach bug for a couple of days, declined rapidly, hospitalized and died within 24 hours of hospitalization. The hospital is responsible. I won't get into it. The point is that my rock, my best friend, is gone. And I'm still here. She was the most amazing woman. It's not getting easier. There's no point to anything if she's not here to witness it. If I could be just a fraction like her, I'd be an incredible woman. She was a force of nature. I'll carry you in my soul forever, Mami. You are precious to me. Maria Cintora 5/15/50 - 12/21/21
I feel very sorry for you, I had a very similar situation
@@mikematuzak Thank you for your comment. I'm very sorry your loss ♥️ 😢🫂
@@clevermoron Thank you😓😓
I’m sure you’re just like her, my friend! I hope you’ve found peace!
@@robinhochmuth5696 thank you so much for your kindness! I truly appreciate your kind words. Strangely, two years later, I still feel the same. But I do get to dream of her every night. I literally dream of her every night. And she is exactly as she was, in my dreams, she is exactly as she was. So I still get to see my mom everyday, sure, in a very unusual way. But I thank God for this blessing. Again, thank you so much for your kindness
You never truly get over losing what you have loved. The Grief stays with you all your life. But as my Native Grandmother taught me....Everything must die! You have to accept the loss but to forget is not in the human condition. Our love is the most powerful emotion. It follows us everywhere we go.
for my son William, who left on 13 December, 2014
damn dude cant imagine a parent losing a kid my condolences

I lost my mother this year on March 29th,2021.She was 88 had she lived to April 7th it would have been her 89th birthday.The past 8 months have been tough but thank god I have good friends.My father died 25 and half years ago so in my lifetime I have lost two parents.You can only learn to cope with the grief and time does not heal all wounds.
This song is for my cousin, he was like a brother to me, my best friend. He died on September 4th 2013 after a long 12 year battle with brain cancer. I miss him so much, r.i.p Chris
Grieve (no one knows for how long) grieve for the losses and the might have been.
Love, lose and learn. Carry on, by knowing that you are loved. Anyone who is loved is never really lost.
We all benefit from your presence ✨
Carry on... ⏳💭🕊
This may sound silly to some people, but I lost one of my best friends today. A companion that gave me unconditional love. My dog, Tanner. I had to have him put down today. I have already lost and grieved for most of my human loved ones and my animals are my family. They have truly helped me get through my many losses. I was unable to have children, so my pets were my kids. And they behave like children.
Tanner wouldn't let me out of his sight. He was always by my side and if I was having a bad day, he would sit and look at me with those eyes that let me know he understood. I think they know how we feel before we do. A lot of people either don't or are unable to understand the pain of losing a pet. Hell, I like my animals more than I do most people. They have no agenda or ill will. All they want is our love and to please us. They ask for nothing in return. His death breaks my heart and I felt the need to express it. I will grieve over him. He was my family. Thank you for allowing me to vent a little of that pain. It's now time to cry some healing tears.
Miss Diane I stumbled across this post while I was trying to post a picture of mine.
Please let me offer my most heartfelt condolences over the loss of your companion, "Tanner." About 2 months ago I posted the loss of my Faithful Friend, "Lucky." I still haven't picked up his bed, of bowls. My "Lucy," was having a real problem with the loss of her packmate. She even stopped eating, and I had to start hand feeding her. Every once in a while, she will still search my little hobble and yard for him.
The decision that; "Today, is The Day," is soul grinding.
Another animal lover friend of mine sent me this piece.
MAKING THAT FINAL DECISION TO SAY GOOD-BYE
You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.
But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.
So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.
The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.
That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner till the end.
Please, understand just what this gift
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.
You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.
So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.
Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.
And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And memory I'll stay.
I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
... a young dog once again. -- author unknown
Dear Good Lady, in my heart of hearts, I believe with all certainty, one day I will be reunited with all that I have loved, and lost in this life.
Please Be Well, and Stay Strong. Also, remember, "Tanner," lived for your love, and approval, and he would never want you to be sad, and unhappy.
Will.
RIDETHESUNSHINE Thank you for your thoughtful reply. And you are right. It is a soul wrenching decision but any other decision I made would have been selfish on my part. I have never, nor will I ever, let any of my animals suffer because I don't want to deal with the loss of any of my beloved pets. They rely on us to do what's best for them.
He was such a funny guy. I would go into the bathroom and when I would come out a few minutes later, you would have thought I had been on a 2 week vacation. He was so happy to see me. He was a wonderful piece of work. Thank you for you caring reply.
RIDETHESUNSHINE I read the last part of your comment ( A companions parting feelings) and it allowed even more tears to be shed. Healthy, healing tears. No matter how sure we are that we are doing the right thing for our four legged family member, It can be difficult convincing yourself something you already know is the right thing to do (if that makes any sense). I loved the fella. He was like Velcro on me. I spoiled him rotten, which he was fully aware of, but how could I not spoil him. It was his eyes. He knew how to read me. Thank you so much for those words. I feel more assured that I did the right thing, not that I had doubts. But it's helpful to hear it from somebody else. Thanks for your support.
Diane
MissDistarr "I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive".
Gilda Radner
I am reminded of an old Judy Collin's verse, and chorus;"
"... I still see the ghosts
Of all I knew long ago
Inside the old kitchen
They bend and sigh
My life passed them up
And the world passed them by
Secret Gardens of the heart
Where the old stay young forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter...."
In my N.D.E., I know what I felt, thought, and remembered, It doesn't all end here.
First Law of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. This means that you can’t make energy out of nothing- the total amount of energy in the universe is a constant.
The circle will be unbroken...
Bless you and Tanner. He is resting now. All dogs go to Heaven. He is waiting for you patiently.
This is for all of the people that I have lost in my lifetime, especially my grandad!
Rest in peace, Grandad!
You will be missed!

When my father passed away in February this year this songs/lyrics were like written for me in a good way it captures what I felt and still feel now. Grief comes and goes for me, my father was 87 he never drank ate healthy, he suffered Parkinson’s disease then got alzheimers, I was fortunate to spend the last week of his life with him. I played him songs told him he was an incredible man, father and grandfather. When I’m down or feeling angry I look up in the sky and see his face and feel joy and it calms me down. My father will always be with me in my heart and in the sky. I still grieve but life carry’s on and on ❤️
This song is for you, Jimmy. I loved you and still do.
I break down in tears everytime I hear this song because you can only hold those feeling for so long until they come to the surface.
Life goes on and on...To this day I choose not to go into the neighborhood where my mate lived (my sweetheart) because even though its been since Dec. 29th, 2009 it is like yesterday. Some memories make me laugh, sometimes I cry. His personality somehow allowed me to do whatever I wanted, and I didn't realize it until 2-3 yrs. afterward. I read once that Love is about making somebody happy. This is what I believe, and I don't analyze it any more. I'll see him again with Jesus
Beautiful movie
Such a soothing voice ... Loved Peter Gabriel since the 70s when he was with Genesis.
I remember playing this song every day in honor of those who passed away when I was in the Navy when 9/11 first went down
That is a beautiful tribute...
I lost my grandmother unexpectedly November 23, 2015. She was in good health and such a happy sweet funny generous woman. Me her and my mom were all very close. We seen her all the time and she loved my son so much. We all miss her dearly. Life just isn't the same without her.
MY BROTHER GAVE ME THIS CD AS A GIFT FOR X-MASS LITTLE DID I KNOW HOW MUCH MEANING IT WOULD HAVE AS HE PASSED AWAY. I MISS HIM SO MUCH I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH
Didn't lose anyone recently... But heck, can a song get any more beautiful??
My wife and the mother of our ten year old son passed away a few hours ago in a car accident here in North Texas. Melody Jean Lamora, May 5th 1985 to August 15th 2017. May God's love be with you always. I think we understood each other in some fundamental way, the truth of how life can be a merciless experience amidst the waves and rocks. If we aren't able to raise one another up, what are we here for? Kindness lasts beyond our reach.
I never imagined the grieving of someone who is still alive. Addicts thinks they have it so rough...the people who loves them are in grieving while we have to watch them wither away choosing other things over love 😭😭😭😢😔
Yeah true. I spent 5 years in agony watching my partner destroy himself , then ended up in same position ! It’s not easy either way. Stay strong.
My dad passed on Valentine’s Day 2001. My Grandpa passed 3 months later…F cancer…It took 15 years to heal from it, I’ve been clean for 7 and I think they’d finally be proud🥺 I still grieve.
their light is in your veins, you get to live for them and you get to choose life and strength
Had to revisit this song after what happened last week. Many have lost friends and family the past 2 years from covid. I've lost a few friends in that time but none were from covid. One had cardiac arrest, another lost a years-long battle with ALS, another is still alive but bedridden with stage 4 cancer. A close friend woke up last wednesday not feeling well but told his wife he would just rest and take it easy. She went to work, called and texted later in the day but no response. She went home and found him already gone from a heart attack. Took nearly 2 days to get through initial grieving. "Did I dream this belief? Or did I believe this dream?" Takes time for it to sink in that they're gone. stay close to family and friends because you don't know what will happen from one day to the next. Never take life for granted.
Thank u Peter Gabrielle, for putting into song the most amazing emotional connection to our lost loved ones. My wife, brother, nephew, Aunt GG-ma, and more. This song helps relieves the pain. Luv ur music.
This was just a good song to me until my dear sister passed away last week.
Your sister is in a better place my friend, take care.
Amazing song. Excruciatingly sad to begin with, but finds redemption in the later part. A typical example of the genius we're come to expect from this guy.
To my mind geniusses are heaven-sent (angels!)

You can feel his process in this song ❤️
Lots of his songs change like that towards the end, but this one I love the beginning so much I wish it didn’t have that upbeat part although I know why it’s there.
@@pj4433 I know what you mean. I usually don't like a big change in a song. Except in this song I love the first part a lot, and the second part even more. The first part is about his loss. The second part is about the decedent's loss. Both are limitlessly sad. But when someone dies, their loss is incomprehensibly huge: they miss out on life carrying on. For me the second part exalts that like nothing else.
Rest in peace mom. This is not easy at all😭. Lost my mom 19 April 2021. She was all alone in the hospital and was not allowed to see her. She had a stroke and couldn't talk and her other side was not functioning. Covid season stole my last moments with mom. The pain of only if...
I am so sorry for your loss. So heartbreaking you could not be with her. I have no words.
@Pertunia Dzora Heartfelt condolences
@@ParadoxKismet we let fools take those moments from us
I grieve for us. Words fail me to give description to something so beautiful and perfect that ended before it began. But its shadow covers me. Holds me in desperate pain. A never ending grieving that births anew each day.
Rest in peace to my dachshund, Vera. I am dysfunctional without you. She was 12.
Thinking of my doxie too, Toby.
My Grandpa passed away this week and his funeral was today. This song has helped me grieve with all the loved ones I've lost along my journey through life. 1 by 1 for several years. Pete was pure genius on this tune and it will play at my funeral one day. Thanks Pete for the blessing of this song. RIP Pop
I lost my dearest grandfather today. I've listened to this song already many times in the past, but this time it moves me like never before.
So sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences. 💔 sending good vibes. Much love and prayers 🙏
One of my work colleagues just lost his baby boy. I have two beautiful sons of my own, and I cannot help but immerse myself in the agony my colleague must be feeling.
To every soul who has lost a child, my heart goes out to you.
Quite frankly I didn't listen to this song as a grieving song but a great piece of work by the mighty Peter Gabriel once again.
I died to myself and to this world. Now nothing reaches me, inspires me or moves me. I walk as though I am an illusion through a sea of dead people. I greave, for myself. For my wasted time, my wasted life. Only God knows what am I to do next.
right there with you on that. too often it all feels to tedious to be worth any effort at all
I used to listen to this song back in 1998, all the time. I was 17, I had the cd soundtrack and I loved it. I didn't know back then that my whole life was going to be this very long grief of so many people. Losing friendships, love relationships, soulmates, friends, family....and, today at 42 when I listen to this song it's like I remember everything from the past....I feel like crying so much, thinking of 98, thinking of my youth and the years that went by...I miss you all, and I love you all, ....forever...one star ✩💖✨♡😘
Yeah..same here! I´m 41.....life goes on.....
I grieve for my beautiful dog Ember! It’s been two years since she crossed the Rainbow Bridge! It never gets easier! She’s a part of my heart and always will be! I know I will see her again over the Bridge waiting for me!
Mein Mann hat sich im Alter von 69 Jahren in der Psychiatrie das Leben genommen. Wir waren 51 Jahre zusammen und ich bin so unendlich traurig darüber. Dieses Lied lief zu Beginn der Trauerfeier und es bleibt immer in meinem Herzen. 💗
Your words touched my heart. I carried my beloved Tallulah out to look at the stars the last night of her life. They were so bright and I told her she would be shining down on me for the rest of my life. I have thought of her every day for 16 years. I feel your grief and
For mum 1948-2018… for 3 years l grieved her and my wife became distant…what a terrible few years l had 😢😢😓😓this song goes to them
I just lost my best friend today! I keep listening to this song..
I lost my child a year and 1 month ago, hits hard...... gives me chills.
Jasmine James I'm so sorry 😢😭
Jasmine James I love you
So sorry.
We all grieve and this song really emphasizes that. The power of music is something else.
Any loss leaves a mark, at any time you are 50% you and 50% you are broken... I guess it never goes you just get used to hiding it.😢I feel for all your loves lost. 💔
My husband lost his battle with cancer. Loving him changed my life. It should come as no surprise that losing him has done the same. He was the greatest gift in my life. I exist somewhere between the pain of his death and the joy of his life. With him went so much of me. People talk about grief as an emptiness, but it's not empty. It's full. Heavy. Not an absence to fill. A weight to pull. Your skin caught on hooks chained to rough boulders made of all the futures you thought you'd had. I don't know how to look at my life without seeing an inescapable absence of him. Missing him comes in waves. Tonight I am drowning.... #FuckYouCancer
The Lyrics.....
Grieve- Peter Gabriel
It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
It's just the way that we are tied in
But there's no one home
I grieve...
for you
You leave...
Me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
Said life carries on...
Carries on and on and on...
And on
The news that truly shocks
is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
Its empty, empty cage...
And I can't handle this
I grieve...
For you
You leave...
Me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
Said life carries on...
I said life carries on and on...
And on
Life carries on in the people I meet
In every one that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on...
And on
Life carries on and on and on...
Life carries on and on and on...
And on
Life carries on and on and on...
Just the car that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
As life carries on and on and on...
And on
Life carries on and on and on...
Did I dream this belief
Or did I believe this dream
How I will find relief
I grieve...
Splendida! Di una bellezza e di una verita' quasi intollerabili, che si incidono quasi visivamente nella mente e nel corpo, sia con le parole che con la musica, che aderiscono l'un l'altra "like this flesh and bone".
Non mi sembra pero' assolutamente che si parli della morte di qualcuno, ma di elaborazione del lutto per la fine di una storia, forse per il divorzio (che per Gabriel, si sa, e' stato fonte di un dolore profondo, da cui era gia' sorto l'album "Us").
"Did I dream this belief / Or did I believe this dream": la sua abituale concettosita', che non e' semplice gioco di parole, ma profondita' psicologica. Purtroppo intraducibile in italiano, se non con approssimazione: "Ho sognato cio' che mi sembra vero / o mi e' sembrato vero questo sogno?"
Geniale, semplicemente geniale!
My beautiful boy my heart has such a void an empty space only you could fill i miss you sweet child of mine now and until my last breath
Thank you. I needed this.
This is going out to my dad up in heaven who just passed away on January 5, 2014....I Love you & miss you so very much Dad...

My heart breaks when i hear this song. I was 14 years old when my cousin was brutally murdered by her ex boyfriend. she was like my sister! my twin sister and i were like her barbie dolls. she use to do our makeup and cut our hair and dress us alike. drove my mom nuts. i miss her so much!!!!!!
several years later her brother was shot and killed by some guy who didn't care! he to is gone and i don't understand why. i try to carry on the best way i can. we grew up together and we always had so much fun. for them to be taken away in such horrible ways just breaks my heart.
For the men in my life..my Dad..Who passed away on June 6th 2018 and my sweet life partner Gilson Cole Mckenney who passed away on August 6th 2018...How I grieve for them both!
Such a sad song,it`s very difficult to carry on after losing someone you loved,I lost my mom just a week ago,it`s terrible,I really miss her very much!
If I could give you a big hug, I would. There's nothing worse than losing your mom. Moms are a gift from God!
I've just lost my mum. The pain is unbearable
I lost my mother on March 29th,2021.It is tougher than when my father passed away in 1996.But you eventually learn to cope with the loss.
It's a scar that never heals
So sorry for your loss , i too miss both my mom and dad and brother whos passed over but sadly we all face the pain one day but the only comfort is that they are starting a new life in the spirit world with God and Jesus in heaven and are waiting for us to join them one day.
For Kiana, you took your life yesterday. 16 and gone. Bella and your friends do not understand nor do I. We miss you and hope you at peace. 😞❤🙏
Gabriel is such a master!
I really do agree, to me the same appeals!
Absolute genius
Omg! I have been obsessed with this song. Still playing in 2022. More than ever I grieve for our whole existence in 2019. The year that humbled us all!! I love each and everyone of you. Stay safe and lace up, cause 22 ain't shit to what's coming my Babies. Before they shut us down with negative and fear. Know! I one girl who ain't got shit... Loves you!!!!!
It's been 36 years since my 18 year old brother was killed. Life carries on.... but I still miss him every day. Every day!
feel sorry I hope that music helps
+frank wappes Helps to remember him. Thanks!
Never really goes away, does it? My family lost two sons, two brothers, in the space of 2 years. It's been close to 40 years but still hurts.
2 years since my sister passed away. Miss her everyday and I know she’s in a happier place. Love you always, sis. 💜💜💜
Peter Gabriel has brought a lot of people together, here, online, on UTube- sharing what is one of the most difficult times of life- loss. He doesn't even realize the impact on thousands of thousands he has made. Thank you, and for so many losses of my beloveds, I know you are close by or are waiting in a better place for me to come Home. Lessons learned through this, we are left behind, and move forward, Grief- it shifts, but we never really lose it or the person. They are a part of us, always, we have had a friendship, or relationship of Dad or Mom, sis or brother, and the conversation continues.....I grieve and I relate and I can do this, and through helping others and spend time within nature, what ever we need is one or two ways I do this. And cry. "Love carries on in the people"

i've already missed my cat.. its just been 1 day...
she was a gorgeous cat both in phsycial and mental manner.. so beautiful so royal.. she was so playful, clean, hygenic, athletic, lovely and much much more.. its so hard to not to cry in the company.. the worst of it all i dont have a proper time to grieve.. i have to go to work and wait till its 18.00... died of both heart and kidney failures under the control of vet.. i just wanted to hug her one more time while conscious.. i've spent too much time and money but she needed to go.. can't men cry to hearts content?
I am really sorry for your loss. I have two cats, I can't imagine my life without them, so I kind of understand your grief. Now you should adopt a shelter cat, a rescue pet, saving it's life will bring you joy. It will help you go through the loss of your beloved cat, and also the most important thing is, you will help save the life of a fluffy helpless soul.

;( sorry for your loss..

Noyan Ozkan i lost my cat in 2012,..He was my Best friend. He was Part of my childhood and I still cant believe He is not here anymore. if there is a cat that lives for so long by your side it is like something changed in your life.. you miss and can not bring it back.. but must to learn to live with it..(sorry im german and my englisch is a little rusty :).
