Just broke up with my boyfriend of four years. Sitting and crying.. but this song is so beautiful. I wanted to surprise him and play a version on the piano while singing for our anniversary but I guess I'll never get the chance now. All i know is that I still really want this to be the song I dance to at my wedding. Moral of the story: do whatever feels right for you. Don't let stupid things like "we've been together X amount of years" defined how you think about something. Take your own happiness into account. Because if you aren't happy than it isn't something that should be worth your time to be honest. In my case, I realized I wasn't happy. I realized that he was toxic to my mental health and I needed a break. Don't drive yourself into a corner and put yourself first. If you don't take care of yourself then how are you supposed to take care of others. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
Time heals all wounds they say and that is very true. I look back at my time with him with fondness as I choose to remember the good, but never forget the bad. Laugh at the funny and file away the tragic.. My girlfriend helped me out a lot and she is the love of my life. It came out of nowhere honestly (an old friend from high school who just couldn’t take it anymore apparently). So this is the start of our romance and I’m delightfully optimistic. Thanks guys for all the kind comments over the years 💜💜
You say it's just a demo but I still love it! The emotion in your voice is very raw and fits the music really well. This song made me catch feels for a relationship I haven't had yet.
if i had an airplane i'd fly it high up into space just to show you that it's ok to be by yourself in the dark and on my birthday, i'll use my wish to keep you safe from all the monsters that you say follow you wherever you are even when i'm far away, when you're sleeping i'm always awake somewhere, i'm watching over you somewhere, i'm not letting go of you i will always sing you back to sleep if you have a nightmare i'll wake you up and i'll be there running my fingers through you hair until you fall back asleep lay on my chest and let's breathe if i had a mountain i'd move it around and make two fit just in case you're scared to climb it there will be another to try and in the valleys when you fall down onto your knees i will be following closely i'll never leave you behind even when i'm far away, when you're sleeping i'll still be awake somewhere, i'm watching over you somewhere, i'm not letting go of you i will always sing you back to sleep if you have a nightmare i'll wake you up and i'll be there running my fingers through you hair until you fall back asleep lay on my chest and let's breathe. somewhere, i'm watching over you somewhere, i'im not letting over you i will always sing you back to sleep if you have a nightmare i'll wake you up and i'll be there running my fingers through your hair until you fall back asleep if i a had an airplane, i'd fly to you every night
I have listened to this on October 1st for the last 3 years. One of my friends passed away on October 1st and this helped a lot, and it's a tradition now to honour her. thank you for this. ❤️
❤ being my favorite, I'm so stunned at how I JUST discovered this one.. omfg, incredibly beautiful!!! I can't get this out of my head. How cute!! I'll be playing it plenty!
Either I'm feeling suuuper emotional or these lyrics are killing me... this is so beautiful, Braden, I wish you the best, and good thinking I'm the name change. It's suits the new music... best of luck, brother.
I love it :) Braden I was on younow that night you started singing this song I told you to come back to this song that you could make it even more beautiful. And you did...and I am genuinely smiling for the first time which feels like forever. I love all the beautiful details you added to the lyrics,music, and video. Only your soothing voice filled with passion could make the end result of this song so beautiful.
My girlfriend were cuddling when when this song was posted and I quickly clicked on the notification and we listened to it multiple times and she started crying and said how happy she was to have me and the song was just so meaningful \for the two of us...great job Braden
This is my favorite version of the song. It's so much softer and emotional to me, and that's how I like my romance songs that aren't about "passionate love making".
Some just feel that heartbreak far too deeply..As beautiful as the voice may be, It is the lyrics they read that hurts..Many dislike this not because of the artist, but because hearing those words serves as a reminder to them of a time when they felt they had it all, and within the blink of an eye it completely disappeared, as if it was never there at all...
“If you have a nightmare I’ll wake you up and I’ll be there running my fingers through your hair until you fall back asleep” that’s my favourite lyric because I get nightmares and even though no one is there to comfort me. Your music and videos are❤️
Samuel, if you happen to see this, I miss you so much, Angel. I’m sorry for letting you go so easily. Please, we can be like we were but even better. We can be happy. Just please...come home...
Gahhh! This is so reassuring and I’ve had a stressful situation lately at home and this song, it brings back memories of calmness and reassurance and joy because of the person it reminds me of.. he could hug me and it would make feel ok and I know despite stress lately, he will be there, relationship or friendship, he’ll be there for me! This reminds me of him..
Midnight, crying my eyes out and waiting for a text from my boyfriend but there's none. I hate when people came into my life, made me put my hopes up and then leave me alone when I need them. And of course, the loved one is always the person who hurts you the most
This makes me want to have my love beside me. Foolish people... they've ruined our life, and now we can't meet for another 3 years. Well... see you guys on the flipside. Maybe the next time I comment, I'll be writing before a lovely 'Goodnight', and a firm grasp around my frame.
This song is amazing. The first part hit home with me extra hard. I got anxiety and the things that trigger it is being alone in the dark and the thoughts of undefined monsters.
I... can't believe its been 3 years since this was released. I can't believe I've been listening to Saywecanfly for more than 5 years now. I can't believe you still haven't reached the recognition you deserve.
I'm having really bad anxiety right now. My attacks have become almost a daily thing by now. This song helps me fall asleep, holds tears back, and helps me through attacks weather they be panic or anxiety
Showed this song to a lady I was getting closer to, now two and a half months down the line this lady is my girlfriend and I've found my soul mate in her. We both sing this to each when we are in each other's arms. The first time we shared a bed i had a nightmare from hell and she was there for me and ran her fingers through my hair till I fell back to sleep. Soppy I know but she's an angel
This reminds me of the boy i like who just left out for the Navy for six years. I'll see him again *hopefully* in three months. i'm counting the days until i see him again
This is something I've been feeling lately and honestly can relate about the person Braden is singing about this is such a sweet song keep it up Braden
Amazing as always Braden. Thank you for doing what you do. I saw you live at.... damn I don't remember the venue name ...but it was in Brooklyn as part of the Storyteller Unplugged Tour you did. I went with a buddy of mine and we went and talked to you briefly at the end. And you talked to everyone in between songs and were just such an inspiration. You were such a nice, down-to-earth human being. And the music was phenomenal. I just wanted to say thank you for that whole experience, thank you for making the art that you make, and thank you for being you. Your music has gotten me through so much in my life. Geez I hope that I didn't ramble too much. Anyhow, you're such an inspiration to me, being that I also create music, and I just figured you deserved to hear how awesome you are. Your music is so personal and I love that about it. I know you probably hear that from fans a lot, just from the comment sections alone but I'm sure you hear it elsewhere as well. But I just needed to say all this.
Hi braden, it’s been a year since I’ve listening this songs. It’s quite amazing till this year 2022 and I can’t stop listening.. these songs deserved more than any other songs in my opinion. U deserved more than anything Braden. I’m your biggest fan from India, ❤👍
You never fail to give me chills. Meeting you was one of the best days of my life. I had to drive soo far but I'd do it again. ❤❤ Thank you for your amazing music. Keep it up. People love you. ❤
I started listening to it and it didnt remind me a whole lot of some of your songs that i love and i have to say, i actually think i found a new favorite. Thanks man youre such an amazing writer!!!
I love this song so much something about it gives me a great feeling when I’m stressed mad or sad it literally changes that in the first few seconds it starts playing. I have listened to saywecanfly for about 4 years now and all the songs have helped me tremendously me and my friend love listening to you Braden you’re truly the best!
This is so beautiful, you're my favorite singer. Your voice is amazing, and you put try emotions into you song and that makes them so much more beautiful and special. Don't ever give up
You have come so far from Dandelion Necklace omg. I love this so much. I'm in awe from how far you have come and am looking forward to the future. I'm proud of you c:
I love this it's deep and beautiful once again never stop Braden you are inspiration just by your beautiful thoughts it means so much to us fans thank you
This is beautiful Braden everytime I listen to your music it takes me to a place where all my problems are gone your voice is like an angel and it's like I'm soaring through the clouds just so peaceful and relaxed your music has helped me through alot in my life and it's still helping me today so thank you Braden you don't know how much your music has helped me so I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart I don't have much of a heart left but but I thank you from the bottom of what's left of my heart you are amazing and please don't ever change I want u to know your album between the roses each song holds a special place in my heart especially between the roses and the art of Anastesia those two songs really hit home for me but the whole album is pure gold keep up all the good work and again ty for saving my life stay cozy
I will always say that this needs to be on spotify, this version is top tier.
still true 😢❤
Indee ❤

Thank you for coming to my TED talk
I hope you're doing okay
I'm so sorry but at least you learned something from that relationship and you'll find someone who makes you very happy.
By now u might have moved on hopefully there s nothing time cant heal ,cant forget ? It's fine cz neither can he u ll get what u deserve eventually

This is so good! I know it's only a demo but, could you possibly make this available on Spotify too? :)
You say it's just a demo but I still love it! The emotion in your voice is very raw and fits the music really well. This song made me catch feels for a relationship I haven't had yet.
"just to show you it's ok to be by yourself in the dark" making me cry with every song. thanks Braden.
sounds like A Twist In My Story by Secondhand serenade 💛Love it 💕

BrokenHarp same bro

One of my friends gave me this song right before he passed away and I listen to it daily. I love this song so much.
I'm sorry for your loss 🖤🖤🖤
I swear, I am not crying.
Braden is actually my favorite artist, I love all of his songs, they have so much emotion.
First Thomas Sanders' latest Sander Sides and now this song. My heart can't take it!!
if i had an airplane
i'd fly it high up into space
just to show you that it's ok
to be by yourself in the dark
and on my birthday, i'll use my wish to keep you safe
from all the monsters
that you say follow you wherever you are
even when i'm far away,
when you're sleeping i'm always awake
somewhere, i'm watching over you
somewhere, i'm not letting go of you
i will always sing you back to sleep
if you have a nightmare
i'll wake you up and i'll be there
running my fingers through you hair
until you fall back asleep
lay on my chest and let's breathe
if i had a mountain
i'd move it around and make two fit
just in case you're scared to climb it
there will be another to try
and in the valleys
when you fall down onto your knees
i will be following closely
i'll never leave you behind
even when i'm far away,
when you're sleeping i'll still be awake
somewhere, i'm watching over you
somewhere, i'm not letting go of you
i will always sing you back to sleep
if you have a nightmare
i'll wake you up and i'll be there
running my fingers through you hair
until you fall back asleep
lay on my chest and let's breathe.
somewhere, i'm watching over you
somewhere, i'im not letting over you
i will always sing you back to sleep
if you have a nightmare
i'll wake you up and i'll be there
running my fingers through your hair
until you fall back asleep
if i a had an airplane, i'd fly to you every night
Thnx dude. Saved me the time.

I know your pain, I wish you the best
I love how it's raw. Gives it a really cool feeling and I think adds to the song.
Very powerful song. would like to know the story why you wrote it.
This makes me want to have my love beside me.
Foolish people... they've ruined our life, and now we can't meet for another 3 years.
Well... see you guys on the flipside. Maybe the next time I comment, I'll be writing before a lovely 'Goodnight', and a firm grasp around my frame.
This song is amazing. The first part hit home with me extra hard. I got anxiety and the things that trigger it is being alone in the dark and the thoughts of undefined monsters.
ITS SO GOOD?? i love you braden keep doing what you're doing.
THIS IS SO GOOD WTF
I... can't believe its been 3 years since this was released. I can't believe I've been listening to Saywecanfly for more than 5 years now. I can't believe you still haven't reached the recognition you deserve.
I'm having really bad anxiety right now. My attacks have become almost a daily thing by now. This song helps me fall asleep, holds tears back, and helps me through attacks weather they be panic or anxiety
May 2019 and still listening to this💕
Showed this song to a lady I was getting closer to, now two and a half months down the line this lady is my girlfriend and I've found my soul mate in her. We both sing this to each when we are in each other's arms. The first time we shared a bed i had a nightmare from hell and she was there for me and ran her fingers through my hair till I fell back to sleep. Soppy I know but she's an angel
Wow, four years later, we had a baby boy, named him chester( nearly two) getting married in 4 months
Such a perfect song to show friends who want to get into saywecanfly. So beautiful.
i can't tell if i like this version or the real version better... god, i love both so much
This reminds me of the boy i like who just left out for the Navy for six years. I'll see him again *hopefully* in three months.
i'm counting the days until i see him again
First song in my next playlist for my boyfriend, probably giving it to him when I’m at home 3060 miles away from him...
This is something I've been feeling lately and honestly can relate about the person Braden is singing about this is such a sweet song keep it up Braden
This is amazing.
Your one of the like 3 artists who can bring me to tears!
Yesss I've been so excited for this
This is perfect even as "just a demo" I fell in love after the first chord
I'm honestly having the worst day and your music always makes me feel better
