    This is truly incredible. Much like Johnny Cash was able to change the overall feel/tone of
    Hurt when he recorded his version, I feel you’ve taken this song and totally turned it on it’s head. While the original feels like a promise and a testament to the power of love, this feels like a farewell - a parting word to and old friend or lover, perhaps. And yet in a way, it’s still about love, I think. Two people who have been through everything together, seen it all, and now have arrived at the end. And yet it’s not entirely sad - there’s an acceptance to it, a sort of understanding, that this is a part of their time together as much as any other. Beautifully performed, thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!

      @laurenstanford4471 3 роки тому +6

      I think it's a good idea for anyone - no matter how old, how long the relationship, what kind of relationship - to take a step back for a while. Pay attention to your heart, your body language. Be on your own. Sometimes people are glued at the hip; it's not innately unhealthy, but what if you need a little space to grow into the person you're meant to be? If that distance from eachother for a little while - be it a month, a day, five years - causes such a rift and unmaking in your relationship that nothing will ever be the same again... then so be it. Depend on yourself for happiness, and remember the things that make you feel happiness are only doing that - making you FEEL happiness. They don't MAKE you happy. Nobody MAKES you into a happy person, you are happy and they remind you to feel that way. I believe everyone has that inside them.
      That being said, it's so beautiful having a life partner. Someone you can trust so deeply that you don't always have to think twice before you say something stupid - they know what you mean, they feel your intent. Someone that remembers all the best and difficult things for you and helps you stay balanced in life. Someone who challenges you to stick to those goals and achieve whatever you have decided is greatness. Someone who trusts you back and doesn't mind you letting go of worldly things to detach and be a little ghost sometimes.
      I've found that in my current partner. I feel blessed to have the chance to walk this earth at the same time as someone so delightfully similar to me in so many ways. While I want to say I feel lucky (because I do) I'm proud of myself. You know why? You attract sameness in people. Your friend group says a lot about you, but the person you choose to spend all your time with says the most. I spent a lot of time alone for a while, and I liked who I became more and more. I attracted someone who was - just like me- taking that comfy slow alone time to better themselves, not just seek out the next fancy pillow topper to keep the nights warm. We don't force that kinda love, it's earned through years of self-love. Learning how to be loved and loving yourself. I'm grateful; for this cover, @Frank, and for your sore throat injecting such a husky emotional wobble. Thank you all for being here and crying with me

    There's a soft, personal quality about this cover... it feels closer to the heart. Open. The original has an aspirational feeling, as if the singer is promising their love for a distant future.
    Your cover feels like a quiet promise for a rapidly approaching future. Almost apocalyptic, but not in such a sorrowful way as that word implies. A promise whispered from one person to another.
