    “So I went back to sleep, what else could I do, tried to find my way back into that dream so I could be close to you” I felt that whole verse in my soul. And a concert featuring him and Tyler childers was one of the last memories I had with that beautiful soul.

    This song hits me like a ton of bricks. I've been hanging on to a dream l lost almost 10 years ago. It's got better though since I quit drinking. We don't ever have to forget but we do have to move on, to get better.

      Oh my God , I feel the same fucking way! I lost everything and everyone in my life to alcohol . For the last ten or so years Ive been silently feeling sorry for myself and day dreaming on some miracle of instant wealth or wit that could redeem me in the eyes of the people i love. I quit drinking 5 years ago but now im old, and everything i loved is either dead or moved on without me. So this is Christmas . Have a.happy new year. I was born in the year of the Rabbit. This year was year of the Rabbit. Fuck the Rabbit . Hope is a false idea presented to pesimistic prisoners in a concentration camp by optimistic prisioners in the same concentration camp. We are all gonna die someday, some of us are going to die making others smile or hopefully laugh first. Thank you

    What an amazing song, I'm literally in tears but it's because I can relate so much to this song in more than one way. My ex-husband and the father of our 2 children passed suddenly in his sleep at the young age of 38. We were no longer married at the time of his passing but for 16 years we were best friends together and apart. My current husband and I are having some rough times now and are nearing separation but often I dream of the days when we were much happier together. I also dream of my kids father and in those dreams he's alright. Arlo is an amazing artist and this song truly is amazing!!

    • @funnygirl9236
      @funnygirl9236 5 років тому +1

      I'm so sorry. You touched my heart today. My daughters father and I are no longer a couple but he is my absolute best friend ever. He was diagnosed w congestive heart failure about 5 yrs ago. My daughters only 12. Hes only 44. I will soon know your pain and I dont know how to do it. Cmfeo. Sending you love from southern Missouri.

  • @mhynes234
    @mhynes234 5 років тому +23

    I felt like this about a few of em, then I realized all those emotions came from me and were never reciprocated. The 'love' was projected from a beautiful soul onto a hollow emotional vampire pretending to care and doing their best at mirroring my genuine affection. They never deserved it.

    • @meredithwilliams4671

      I know exactly where you are coming from , I had a 26 year relationship die and it tore my heart out , but I found a angel that has eased my pain and introduced me to Arlo McKinley I'm a fan for life . I'm a 48 year old man and arlo can make me cry like a child but it helps me and the woman I've found is prayers answered

  • @brendonleary
    @brendonleary 5 років тому +17

    Arlo has been another one of those artists that have found their way into a higher rotation at my house and in my headphones when I am riding my longboard /skateboard or walking the dog.
    This is song is the exact reason.
    He certainly has a rather charming vibe. Maybe it is just nostalgia.
