Arrangement by Paul Cardall (www.paulcardall.com)

Most of you know that I received a second chance at life after a donor heart was placed in my chest on September 9, 2009. Ironically, my younger brother passed away 3 months earlier while I waited for the transplant surgery. He was unable to donate his organs. (The video contains actual footage from the day mom brought our baby brother home).
Today, beating in my chest is the heart of another young man who like my brother has gone home to the God who gave us life.
The best way I know how to express the raw deep emotions I've experienced is through the piano music I create.
Life and Death was originally written by Michael Giacchino for the show LOST. I fell in love with the piece and it speaks peace to my soul. Together with Steven Sharp Nelson and Marshall McDonald I arranged "Life and Death" for my latest album, New Life.
SPANISH
La mejor manera que conozco de como expresar las fuertes emociones que experimente es por medio de la musica para piano que yo creo.
"Life and Death" fue originalmente escrita por Michael Giacchino para el programa televisivo LOST. Caí enamorado de esta pieza, ella entrega paz a mi alma. Juntos con Steven Sharp, Marshall McDonald y yo construimos una versión de "Life and Death" para mi ultimo album, New Life.

My wife died of leukemia in 2017 . She was the love of my life and my best friend . When she was in the hospital this song would come on on Pandora , it would help her fall asleep . I never realized what the song was actually about until she passed . Thank you sir for bringing peace and rest to my wife when she was at her worst . I just can never say thank you enough .
I read your comment while sitting here in a hospital myself.
Life…is so terribly short. But even if that one drop is shared with someone we love, our life meant something.
God bless you and your departed wife. I sincerely hope you see her again.
😭💖
❤️💔❤️💔❤️
How yall been
You must have loved your beautiful wife so much! I pray that your pain has eased and that you have found hope and joy in your life again. I have 2 friends suffering from Leukemia now. Lots of prayers and so many close calls with death, but I know that one day they and we will all go to a much better place.❤
Thanks for all of the comments. Yes,the main theme of this piece was originally composed by Michael Giacchino for the show LOST. While waiting for a heart transplant, unsure of my future, I watched LOST and loved the music. The show was a big part of my experience and, therefore, I expanded upon Michael's brilliance with my own interpretation of his inspired piece. I am glad you enjoy it.
By this theme I met the music of Paul. It was one of the first pieces I learned to play to the piano.
Absolutely wonderful !
Such a wonderful song, it has been on my favorite list for years now and i keep coming back to it and it still moves me.
You made one of my favorite pieces even better! I don't know how.
Paul I'm glad to hear you're doing well and sorry for the loss of your brother. I just played "life and death" at a wake tonight, this arrangement is amazing too. Like you the show LOST really moved me and still means a lot
See you in another life, brother.
blorf blorfington hes not dead...
Of course it was just a general comment and a line which I thought was nice.
+iamtingley That's a quote from Lost, from the character Desmond, though people usually spell it brutha when quoting Des. It might sound insensitive out of context, but I think Blorf meant it as a friendly compliment.
+toastietube Yes, thank you.

I cried all the way through this piece ... My husband suffers from heart, liver and kidney failure along with COPD, ..among many other issues..he takes up to 18 different drugs a day just to be able to breathe..he's had 6 strokes and 3 heart attaches but yet he is still walking and talking.. God is great...however I do know that it's not always going to be like this..I will lose him to this disease one day..for now I'm going to enjoy the time I have with him..some people don't get to have 2nd's or 3rd chances ..our son who is almost 19 years old and I have had many nights in the hospital where we didn't know if he was going to make it or not but only by God good grace he survived..my husband says he doesn't understand why he's still here when normally one stroke can kill you but having 4 all at once ..and then 2 more a year later.. and to walk out of the hospital a week later..(and they were full blown strokes that should of killed him..doctors were coming in and shaking his hand they couldn't believe it)..he sometimes has this survival guilt ...I tell him all the time God isn't done with you ...and that your here for a reason..
For anyone who reads this..just know yes it's devestating to watch your love one suffer but God can move mountains ... So pray.. miracles happen all the time.. I should know I'm living with one...may God bless you all!!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I command any spirit of infirmity to leave Stephanie's husbands body. I speak to every part of his body and command healing to flow now throughout it. Brain cells be regenerated now in Jesus name, heart be healed and strengthen in Jesus mighty and precious name.
Any generational curse be broken now in Jesus mighty name
@Michele M ..wow thank you so much....since then I've had my ups and downs...
In Oct 2,2019 I lost my best friend.. unexpectedly...it was a shock to us all..she had 3 kids.. 2 grown adults and a 13 year old...she is very much missed
On Halloween night
Oct 31,2019 I was hit by a car going 45 miles an hour... I was in the hospital for a month... I lost all memory somehow I don't know how they found out a friend of mines number and got a hold of my family..i had a server concussion..24 hours .my family found out..they thought I was at a friend's so that's why they didn't look for me...
On Dec 10,2019 I lost a very close close friend...if I wasn't married I would of been too him..but we were better off as friends... He spent the night at our house..he was on the couch I was on the other couch and my husband in the recliner..we fell asleep watching a movie...my husband and I wake up very early..it was about 5am..and I went over Peter our friend..and he wasn't breathing..he had diabetes really bad..I checked his sugar the night before it was a little high so I gave him his meds..he had his right leg amputated because of diabetes...but anyways I tried getting him off the couch but I couldn't cause I wasn't strong enough with my back and legs...and my husband couldn't because he was sickly..my husband called 911 while I preformed CPR... They worked on him for an hour.. sadly he died...
And then in March my family had another family death... So it hasn't been the best 8 months... I'm waiting for things to get better any time...I'm sure they will... I still believe in prayer..and the power of God... Don't ever question his love..
I remember one night I couldn't handle all the pain and I was crying I asked the Lord to either take my life or take the pain..I couldn't bare it any longer..all night long I prayed..the next day I was better..I didn't cry..they were not the first thing I thought about when I woke up..yes I was sad but I wasn't crumbling..or felt like I wanted to die..I remember thanking God and asking if I should feel this way.. should I be hurting should I have guilt..and I remember my best friend saying that she would never want anyone crying for her..or not living their life... And Peter the same thing..he wanted me to be happy...so I try to live the way they would want me too....I still have days..but I'm no longer in my bed day after day..wishing to die...
So yes life is hard...but it's beautiful as well...don't stop living and tell those around you that you love them... believe.....forgive.. live..and love... Life is too short !!!
@@janelle3372 thank you for your prayers they mean so much to me and my family
How are you? How is your husband doing now?
Paul , the tragedy of life is not death.. but what we let die inside of us while we live. May your heart continue to sing sweet lullabies. God bless you.
Beautifully said, Gael!
Gael, I am going to quote you.... beautiful point of view!
May all the fallen angels shine upon us and for us to be grateful for the life Heavenly Father has granted us. This piece of art music is amazing and I am wondering what is happening with the world right now.... Paul Cardall is an inspiration from God ❤
This is one of those stop everything you are doing and just listen songs. Absolutely beautiful.
I might die today, i might die tomorrow, or maybe in a 100 years, but as long as i'm alive, i will always consider this piece of art the most emotional yet powerful music i have ever heard.
well said!!! this song speaks to the deepest parts of my souls.
I am able to think clearly when i listen to songs like this one i feel lost i had soo many head concussions i cant remember most my life i forgot most my past and what happens daily i feel like im losing myslef i dont even knnow who i am i cant remember
@@donnyjohnson3221 I am so sorry you are suffering this way, Donny. Isn't it amazing how music reaches parts of our bodies nothing else can? God bless you.
Every time I hear this song my heart just SOARS with happiness. But it's bittersweet because even though it brings me back to the early moments as a single mother with sons ages 7 & 9, I remember how my world just imploded when my husband of 11 years just up and left after meeting someone else--I never saw it coming. My world was perfect, all I wanted was to be a wife and mother and how ironic because I never wanted to miss even one minute of my children growing up. It wasn't that the marriage was bad---it was that he thought he shouldn't have ever married me in the first place (and we'll leave it at that) When those violins kick in at 2:41, it is almost as if this song was written specifically with my sons and I in mind. Because at that very moment when those violins start and my heart seems to break in two, the video shows two young boys with cowboy hats running outside, playing together and just being kids. It's joyful, it's innocent, and it makes me so very sad. BUT, anyway, it's a good sad because it's something I went through and survived and came out the better for it!
Well, thank you, Mr. Cardall for sharing your incredible gift with the world! AND PLEASE KEEP WRITING MUSIC! (PS--my youngest son is a musician!)
Jenine Killoran ... you have touched me in your words I have been sprated from my two kids .. how bless you and your kids and stay strong never give up .. lots of love from the far middle East to you and your kids.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Just thinking of this story makes me sad for you and what you had to go through.
Thank you for sharing. This will be the next song I learn on the piano. God, kids, health and education are the most important thing in my life.
I listened to this on Pandora this afternoon and it spoke to me. I looked it up and found it here. I listened, I read the story and I cried. I am two weeks out from surgery and I was found to have cancer. It is unknown if it was all removed. Today has been an emotional day for me as I struggle with trying to understand. All I can say is thank you.
+backroads2010 God bless you! CA is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I used to be a MH Counselor for 12 years, one of my specialties being depression. Talk to me if you need to, either here or via my email.
backroads2010 Good, most all of it (save for the depression)! Unless it's A. situational and/or B. keeps you from functioning, know that depression is THE most treatable mental illness. I'm a backpacker myself. String cheese and dried apples make for a great high-energy snack (as do Snickers Bars; don't waste your $ on overrated Power Bars), whiskey is a lot easier to carry than beer, and a good hat/pair of boots are IMPERATIVE. Here's to a GREAT trip!
+S.A. Hogan I think I figured out the depression, the source, and thus, it will no longer be an issue for me. Thankfully. Thanks for the hiking input. It will not be a huge trip, but an opportunity for me to say I did it. It's through a canyon with a creek so shoe choice is narrowed down as much of the hiking is through the creek itself. No whiskey or beer for me. I'll be high on the adventure itself!!!!
backroads2010 Good news! "Heal thyself"---with the help of thy friends, if needed---is better than a chemical cure any day. Have a great time on the hike (couple more pieces of advice: 1. Wet wood and even rocks can be slippery; always better to step over them if you can---unless the wood is dry, in which case it's better to step onto it, as snakes tend to hang out near fallen trees---landing as flat on your foot as possible; 2. Hiking stick MANDATORY for any sort of treacherous footing (and don't forget to carry dry sox)!
+S.A. Hogan I am healing, yes. I fell off a butte just short of two years ago and tore up my face. My life flashed before my eyes. Life is now good. Very good. It would take an essay to explain it.
The entire hike will be wet by design. I grew up on a creek and I am fully prepared for slippery. Snakes are an everyday occurrence here. No worries, I'm used to them. A pair of trekking poles are packed as are dry sox. I'm nailing this...!
This song reminds me of my mother who passed in 2014. When I hear it I cry. She was the best mother and her passing affected my life so profoundly. This is a beautiful piece of music. Thank you.
My wonderful Mother died 2 months ago yesterday. I miss her so much and now there is no more time. My brother said that she died with a smile on her face. I am grateful that she doesn't have to suffer anymore and that she got to leave this awful world and go home!! I pray that all of us who lose someone dear will remember that in such a little while we will be together again!❤😊❣
@@conniewaterman1673 my dad is dying with cancer, it's so heartbreaking to see someone having to go through this horrible illness,and you can't help,
@@martinmccann7946 I am truly sorry that I didn't see your comment earlier. I have been very sick for 37 years. I see evidence every day why I am still here. I sure wish I could go Home though. I wonder about your father. Are you okay now? Bless your heart, I sure hope so.🙏
@@conniewaterman1673 hello sadly my father passed away on 22nd of October 2021, thanks for your message,🙏
Pandora brought me here. I had to hear it again. This song moves me
I heard it on pandora also. What a beautiful song.
the same there its a wonderful song
+Paris Melvin me too, his music is beauiful
yeah it did the same for me! I like how it plays a variety of music
Amazing song
Lost my younger brother 38 years old for a congenital heart disease, 6 months ago, this song brings me some peace and memories.🙏🏻❤️
Mr. Cardall, thank you so much for this beautiful song. My best friend is shortly getting married to his longtime sweetheart, and I was searching for a piece of music to play for their dance at the wedding. After a long search, I am delighted to choose this piece.
I have not played piano in 15+ years, but for them, and with this song, I will do what it takes. Thank you for offering the sheet music on your site. Thank you for your music. And thank you for sharing this experience with all of us.
I don't think there's ever been a song that has moved me as much as In Reverence. I know this is about"Life & Death" but I just felt compelled to let you know while I was here. I am a writer and I put on a lot of your music that really inspires me. Thank you. All of us who create (and I truly believe we all do in our own ways) and share with friends or the world, is revealing a little piece of who we truly are--and that's simply this: a beautiful expression of God/Love.
Lost will still be my favorite TV. series...
RIP Charlie.
nice spoiler im in season 2
I’m in season 2 as well
Think: with this spoiler you have ruined one of the most emotional deaths of one of the most beautiful series
@@wish-end3r I was literally 13 then lmao. I do apologize, though
I had three members of my family die recently so I'm listening to this crying like a maniac. I really love this and when I first heard it, I learned how to play it on the piano because it inspires me a lot.
I just wanna say thank you. Last year before i deployed my father was getting really sick and started to lose his memory. nothing seemed to make him happy and he barely remember anything. i was just on pandora on some piano page and this song came on and started to play and my father's eyes lit up. He smiled the most I had ever seen since he was diginosed with alztimers. Today i heard this song again and that memory came to me and it's so beautiful and i treasure it and i just wanted to say thank you. thank you so much for this amazing piece of art. it makes me feel so many emotions and reminds me of my late father.
LOST brought me here.... so much lost is so many years.... I have no words to explain my feelings but this song just touches me every time I listen to it while I feel alone... God bless you Paul Cardall...
I'm crying so bad! Lost is coming back to me each time I hear this song. 😭😭😭😭 "See you in another life, brother."
Same. Btw I like your profile picture :)
aye brother
I remember back when I was going through a slight self-diagnosed depression in 2011, I would listen to this song at night at my moms house. There was a window next to my bed and I would open the curtains to see the moon shining down and had it slightly open to hear the train in the distance as it went further and further into the night. I would get a feeling of peace and mostly sadness at the same time. I did not want the night to end 😥😢. As weird as it sounds I miss those nights very much.
(spoiler warning)
Well after watching Charlie die my experience was mainly composed of crying.
ZR1Terror i have clinical depression after losing my mom oct.8 2016 all i could do is think about being with her i still do my mom and my brother was the only two people in my family and in the world that made me feel they cared about me now they both gone i feel more alone than i ever did i feel like my heart was ripped out i want to be with my mom soo much i have nothing left here taking care of my mom was my only reason in life my child hood was nothing but hell beaten and choked many times by my dad i tried to kill myself many times but i knew my dad didnt care about my mom nor my sister so i put my,life on hold to take care of her untill she died now i have nothing left to live for my mom was all i had left now i have nothing
hisoaka91 Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I should appreciate my life more because I still have all my family and we are all happy. Hope you find peace.
ZR1Terror yes you can married again and again a fall inlove but when it comes to your mom no woman in the world can replace her she is your one and only mom and when you lose her it feels like someone stabbing you in the heart I've and over again it's feels like hell my mom is the only person that knows everything about me my mom was the one person I knew always loved me women treat me like trash my mom was everything to me I even asked the doctor If I could give her my heart and lungs but it was too late she was too far gone
hisoaka91 Just today I read a Facebook post of a local news station. A little 12 year old is all alone after a head on collision on Christmas Eve that killed her siblings and parents. She lost all her family just like that. That reminded me of you.
2019 now still one of the most powerful songs I’ve heard In my life. Been listening to Paul for many many years. This one always stops and makes me think about life and what has happened. It also makes me think of things to come. This is my favorite by this man. He truly is a artist without a doubt thank you so much for your music Paul.
It’s now 2020 and the collective angst and anxiety in the world is palpable. It’s astonishing how this one song can encompass all the pain and beauty of being alive and the sacred act of ushering those we love into death.
I find great comfort in this music and am very grateful to both Michael Giacchino and Paul Carnell.
A man who's gone through all these hardships like him and keeps his head up the way he does, deserves so much more good in his life. I feel like breakin down and tearing up when I think about what he's gone through and the way he keeps his spirit up. Thank you Paul for your inspiring actions.
This song reminds me of
what our lives have been...
What our live could’ve been...
And what our lives will be.
😭
When music SPEAKS and has the ability to reach deep into our hearts... What a beautiful and sensitive interpretation of this amazing piece of music.... Thank you Paul Cardall
Thank you so much Lydia!
I never tire of hearing this. It touches me every time I hear it.
I miss you sooo very much grandma... I love you, you know I did...
Coming up to your 2nd Anniversary this April since you gained your angel wings and I’m still here, thinking of you. Seems like it was just yesterday. This song keeps your memory alive within me. I will always cherish all the time we spent together and all the love you gave me. I thank God for the honor of allowing me to be your granddaughter. I will always love you my beautiful queen.
Brenda Jimenez I’m sorry for your loss, I know she’s watching out for you always
previously on LOST!
I'm re-watching LOST and kept tuning in every time I heard this piece. I knew it sounded so familiar (I hadn't paid attention much to the soundtrack when first watching LOST 15 years ago). I bought your album when I heard this specific piece, last summer (2019). It speaks volumes to me, as does most of your work. Thank you for re-interpreting this.....it's helping me heal.
This song was instrumental in helping me move through a devastating loss over 30 years ago. I did not realize how much pain I suppressed until I was reconnected with the person who broke my heart. An enormous amount of grief surfaced. I've used this music to heal that part of me and my past. Thank you so much.
I lost my brother to Covid in January. Never got to say good bye. No seeing him in the hospital, no memorial, no funeral. It's been impossible to feel any closure. His birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I wanted to create a slideshow to honor his life and share it with his friends and the family on that day. I'm hoping it will provide us with the closure we so desperately need. I've been searching for the perfect music to accompany this tribute to him and now I've found it. It is the only piece of music I've ever heard that is filled with equal amounts of joy and sorrow at the same time. And that is how I feel about my brother's passing... so deeply and forever grieved at losing him but so very thankful and filled with equal joy that he was in my life.
Julene, you have my love and support. I am so sorry. I understand the depths of loss too. I’m extremely humbled and honored you took the time to comment and that you are going to use this song. I'm praying for your family.
@@cardall Thank you so much for your very kind and thoughtful words. I appreciate them very much. And thank you for allowing me to use your beautiful rendition of this song for my brother’s memorial. I will tag with you with my thanks when I post it to his Facebook page on his birthday, May 31. God bless you.
When I first heard this, I couldn't stop crying my eyes out. I'm glad I came across this when I did...This is a blessing to me, and I'll never forget that beautiful music still lives on. Thank you, Paul.
Such a beautiful piece......If I words to express my emotions accurately right now, I would.....But the truth remains that, some emotions just don't have a name....one just feels them. This is a beautiful gift to my ears, and soul. Thank you
My dog Mater died today after fighting for his life when an auto immune disease took a very serious turn for the worse. He was fine yesterday and today he has four seizures then a mssive heart attack. I got him to the hospital just thirty minutes befpre he took his last breath. When I got home I replayed this song for an hour. Thank for the beautiful interpretation of this powerful piece. I'm glad you made it through your surgery I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.Mater my dog,was my best friend wish he could of made it.
I know it was six years ago but I'm still sorry losing animals sucks
This piece has literally been the theme of my spiritual awakening. It pulls me into the love and sorrow and it’s just goes beyond words for me. Thank yoi
Amazing how fragile life truly is....
A thread really... Ready to snap at any moment...
+Ben A nicely put. :(
Nicely put brother, its nice to see you again
I am sorry for the loss of your brother.
As of today 1/25/2019 there are 172 people on this planet who have no soul (dislikes). Masterfully done interpretation of Michael Giacchino's inspired work. I am glad you are still with us, keep up the great work.
I love your song mr i will always remember my wife when i listen to this song and I start crying while you playing the piano. 💗💗💗💛💛💛😟😟😟😭😭😭
His music is simply magical. No other musician has been able to harness the pain and love that has been lost of a loved one. Having lost both my children, this hits home. Thank you for your wonderful music which allows me to remember the good and happy times I spent with my children while they were here. I hope to see them again soon.
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Life and Death is a piece that I can connect to in every aspect...Listening to this takes me where I want to be, alone with my son Richard Lee...Richard Lee died March 11, 2011 and you Mr. Cardall introduced the world to Life and Death on March 17, 2011...Thank you...
I listen to Pandora at night when I can't sleep. Last night I was asleep, the music still playing.. when your song came on. I woke up immediately. It wasn't an unpleasant awakening but... I just fell in love with the song. So I took a screen shot and went looking for the song and album today. Tonight.. I was hoping there was a video. Today, I am thankful. God bless you.... and thank you for the beauty you put into the world with your music.
БлагоДарение за Ваше творчество, всего самого лучшего Вам и семье)))
it is amazing :(

Thank you, Mr. Cardall. It made me cry a lot, I just lost my mommy in September 25.
You beat the death, but there are others, like my mother, that they just are beaten by death.
I have loved following your story. I am 38 and have been on the transplant list for 3 years. Every time I hear about someone getting their heart that they have waited for I cant help weeping for joy for that person and anticipation (and a little frustration) for me. I yearn for that day when I can do normal physical activities again. God bless you and thank you for your inspirational message.
The music really helps with my quiet moments when the PTSD is hard to keep out. Thanks man
A brothers love is eternal. Thanks for sharing your heart with us all in this incredible heart felt composition of loss and memory.
My twin boys are 5 turning 6 next month. Born at 29 weeks. Since we come home from the NICU we have played this song every night at bedtime on repeat. They call it their night night music 💙💙 So many emotion and memories to this song. Will always cherish it ❤️
No words, only tears. however respected and i am on the feet.
I am so sorry for your loss. He would of been happy hearing this
This is literally the first time i have cried in years. I read the description before listening. I started tearing up when i saw the footage of your mother bringing your brother home. This plus my feelings for Lost (my favorite show) and remembering my own deceased family. I just couldnt take it. God bless you and may your brother rest in peace
Thank you very much for sharing this song. It made me realize how thankful I am for having a beautiful healthy baby daugther. She is almost 5 months now and she fall asleep while listening to your song. She is my everything and I realize I'm not living just for myself anymore. I whispered to her telling her how much I love her and never to leave me. I hope she realize how much I love her and I will always protect her. God...I'm all teary eyes right now and she looked at me and smiled. :)
This is the only song that evokes how I felt sitting with my parents as they were dying. It's an incredible song. SO heartfelt and emotional, with depth and felt in my soul. Thank you Paul. God Bless you.
Mom and dad are gone now and this song brings sweet memories. I love the movement of it. Brings me joy and sadness. Thank you Paul🙏🏼❤️🌹
your music is the most profound peaceful beautiful sounds my soul has ever heard
thank you for sharing you art with the world
I play this collection of music at work so others may be Blessed by your music
There are no coincidences. This makes me feel like nothing else.... I can play some piano. I’m an identical twin with a strong relationship I couldn’t bare the thought of losing.... yet being a psychic medium and having telepathy and strong knowledge from the other side I know that this was not the first lifetime nor the last we will have. My goal is to help as many people as possible connect with their loved ones on the other side and know that they’re not alone here. For whatever reason life and death I’m letting go and the songs call to me and have made me even more Who I am and more authentically who I will become on my path. So thank you, Paul Cardall. I’m sorry for your loss. I want you to know that you’ve done and given so much to so many in you’re a genuine authentic way . I thank you for the inspiration. I would love to share your music and story with all of the People Who I try to inspire.everyday.
Y entonces *personaje X* muere.
Adiós *personaje X* que la fuerza te acompañe
Imagináte me dieron ganas de llorar
You say so much with your music! God bless you!🙏💜🙏
Thank You God,for this precious one, who has shared some of his story,and made melody in my heart....I am so appreciative.. A Grandma in Kentucky
Paul Cardall this song is so pretty. It's very peaceful.
This just came up on my Pandora and I am now completely OBSESSED. It's just beautiful. Gorgeous. My heart is sort of... laying on the couch next to me.
Wife suffers from a myriad of diagnosed ailments. From Lupus, to Parkinson's, to Raynaud's .. the list is long, but that's not the point... I just sometimes get scared, when she's close to the edge... I'm scared that sometimes that I may lose her and I won't be able to find her on the other side. That's all . . I'm nothing but an empty shell of a man without her. and it scares the hell out of me. . Thanks for allowing me to share .
On a funny note took me 15 minutes to write that. Started crying uncontrollably .
Love to you all -
I LOVE PAUL CARDALL !!!!!!!!!! So inspiring, my days are better because of you, thank you!
My mom and brother passed away when I was young and one day this song played on the radio and I remember I suddenly started to tear up and as soon as I knew it I was crying. I was going through a horrible break up of a 6 year relationship where she cheated on me with her boss. I held everything in but for some reason this song broke me down and I realized I needed my mom and brother the most at that point in my life but I was alone.
You’re never alone when you have Jesus.
Hope you have found Him living in your heart.🕊
And your life is much better and blessed for it.
This is so beautiful. It makes all the longing inside my heart well up into love. It makes me think of people I have lost. Makes me think of my friend, Teddy. He played the piano, he died at a young age. Sometimes I miss him so much. I think of winter nights when we sat together in the kitchen, he playing the guitar and us singing together. Of so many memories, he always made me smile.

I lost my 15 year old son just 13 years ago. His death changed me. i will never be the same but I can be o.k. It has taken me many years to get to the place I am now. I can now celebrate the 15 1/2 years I had with him instead of crying all of the time. But that hole in my heart is still there and always will be there. He is my child and he will be mine forever...it's just going to take a minute for me to get there! I love this song! It's joy and sadness. Exactly what I feel when I think of my Zachary. Thank you Paul!
Your story is amazing and your music is inspired from on high. Thank you for sharing this precious gift.
Absolutely Beautiful Paul! Very passionate and moving. Thank you!
I heard this song on Pandora at work...had to listen to it while I wasn't distracted. After, I looked it up and instantly thought of my mother I lost in March of 2014 from breast cancer. I actually had to play it to a video I created that has no music...and it's perfect... (no I will not use it without your permission hehe). But thank you. It's an amazing song and it still has me in tears thinking of her and her life. Thank you so much.
Thanks!!! Paul Cardall te dos tenemos un ser amado que nos a dejado! Esta canción es ta inspirada de lo alto❤gracias por ser como eres😊
*in tears* That was the most beautiful video ever. My heart aches. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift and sharing such an emotional journey through music. xoxox
Giacchino retweeted this, awesome :)
I cannot stop listening to this song. This is a very powerful and beautiful arrangement. Thank you.
thank you for letting us share in the talent God has given you I shared your story with my family while in the hospital I also was blessed with a new heart in 2014 and thanks to an amazing person that decided to be a doner I am here to share in your music
Love this piece ...especially on this 30th anniversary of my brother getting his wings and my girlfriends wake today...thank you for the peace that passes all understanding.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Venessa. Thank you for writing me.
Not penny's boat 😭
still my favorite till 2019
I listened to this song over and over again and watched the video when i almost lost my sister 2 years ago and was with her every day in the intensive care unit. i pray for all who are sick, and rejoice with those who know the miracle of the moments of recovery from almost certain death. We know resurrection, and it feels like this song.
Thank you for sharing this song. The song moved me to tears. It is the Fourth of July today and I am studying for my psychology licensure exam. Well, I was when I came upon the section, "definition of a crisis" during the same moment your song played on my Pandora station. Both the content I was reading and your song brought me to tears as I thought about a dear close friend whom I recently lost touch with. We have known each other since 2005 and she is one of the most intelligent and beautiful people I know. We graduated together with our Ph.D.'s in Counseling Psychology one year ago. I found out about about a week ago she was hospitalized for several weeks. The few interactions I have had with her are very concerning and do not sound like her. I do not have her parents phone number and have no other way of learning about what happened to her. I just have to wait until she recovers and can share with me herself what happened. This song touched me because in this moment I feel a deep sense of loss because she is one of my few closest friends.
oh my gosh.... this brought me to tears...... i love/live piano. this really hit me.
Last time I heard this I was active duty.....and was about to kill myself. My NCO was horribly racist and was accusing me of things that weren't my fault, I was just diagnosed with cancer, my 12 month old just fell onto a hard concrete floor and hit his head, my friend's daughter was just killed at Sandy Hook, my wife was lying about what she wanted out of me as a husband.....as I sat on the floor of my closet, reverse grip on the XD40, I could see the tip of the round. I stared...and stared. I started to cry, not because I was feeling sorry for myself, but because I could hear my son in the other room. At that moment I knew that he needed me.
He's 7 now....and has a little brother who's 3. I've been medically retired from the Army and I spend as much of my time with them as I can.
Life can fucking suck.....but maybe you as a person can make a difference in another's....and that makes living worth it.
Hooah
i just read your comment, sir. how glad i am that you did not give in that day. God's best blessings on you and your family.
Rod. I hope and pray you are doing better. I just found this. Please stay. We need you! God bless you!
Namaste beautiful soul 🙏
Powerful words brother. I am glad you are still with us. I will pray for you and your family.
My 18 year old son introduced this song to me this May when we were getting ready for his high school graduation party. This is his favorite piano piece. It was one of the songs put in his slideshow. Its is absolutely beautiful. I cry every time I listen to it. You are an amazing artist!
Beautifull... Breathtaking... Increible, hermoso, fenomenal... Gracias por tu musica Paul
We have to go baaaaack
I'm having a major breakdown over this song
Until we see each other again my son and daughter. You were my life, my joy and the reason I lived. This song is perfect. To those who have lost, you are not alone.
This song came on today as I took a sunset stroll. I immediately stopped and started crying. Because I've known so much loss. This last year my college best friend took her own life and then my mother died six months later on the anniversary of my grandfather's death. And on the anniversary of another friend's death (yesterday) my best friend moved to a different time zone. It's been such an emotional time for me and not knowing if they made it safe after losing so many people I love, I couldn't keep walking. I was that crazy lady on the sidewalk crying in public. Your rendition is so moving, and perfectly encapsulates life and death.

LOST
My younger brother Lezo Urreiztieta passed away at 20 years of age on December 20, 2013. This new year has been so hard for myself and our family. Not a day passes that we don't ache to have Lezo back. He was able to donate his organs upon his passing. This song and video brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing your love and thankfulness for someone like Lezo. God bless.
LET GO & MOVE ON...
Everyone was lost and everyone had lost something or someone. Feeling lonely, left all alone... Failed to accept, scared to face, holding grudge, grief stricken, drowned into misery, empty hearted, heartbroken, seeking for hope, regretting, trying to fix, suffering to hold onto, looking for answers... 😢😢😢 At the end realize all they had to do was to let go and move on... This is what was implied to my after watching lost. And I loved the music so so so much.
what part of lost is this from because I've been playing it over and over and can't figure it out, and it is bugging me like no other. I have a specific scene in my head that accompanies the main piano melody and i can't place it, SOMEONE HELP! =)
Michael wrote this theme for each moment on LOST when someone dies.
Paul Cardall thank you! the specific scene I had in mind was Charlie and now its all coming back. you are an inspiration btw keep composing amazing music your albums are not only beautiful but tend to be the perfect background music for completing homework haha
Paul Cardall Indeed, that's where i remember this tune from....it moves my heart.
+Paul Cardall (Channel) it's actually also for whenever someone is born or survives near death, that's why it's called Life and Death, and that's also why it was played when Aaron was born
+Ryan Tepper Hi Ryan, my english isn´t so good, sorry about it. The most memorable scene off this song happens in the episode 20 of the first season, when Boone dies after fall of the single-engine that he and John Locke found in the woods while born the Claire´s son, and that's why the song´s name is Life and Death. I hope that I´ve helped you.
Not penny’s boat..
Very happy to finally track down the piece used in PBS Newshour: In memoriam segments. Such good music.
I dedicate this beautiful emotional music to my son who took his life at 33. He was also LOST himself and decided earth is not where he should have been. The weirdest thing is since I was a baby (baby's brain NOT formed yet), I remember looking at my older brother pushing me on the baby cradle and I said, "Why am I here? I am not suppose to be here... and who is this man pushing me on the craddle?" I grew up having problem socializing with people because all this time even now that I am 58 yrs old, I still believe I am NOT from here. A month before my son committed suicide, I was shocked to hear him say, "Mom I don't feel like I belong here". I had no idea he and I felt the same way all this time... LOST. Son, I'm sorry I brought you into this world where you didn't belong. Though your time was short, God obviously had a purpose for you. I love you with all my heart my son Tex. I am so much at peace when God came into my dreams and let me know He had taken you to heaven. Thank you Lord for forgiving my son and sending me your wonderful message. You've given me a peace of mind.
