This song has become a staple in life since I played it on repeat during a very rough time. I was alone for what felt like weeks, battling alcoholism and quarantine as well as intense loneliness... I was questioning life... I held on long enough to seek help. FJK Masego Tadow helped me, too. Life saved. Thank you.

Never heard of Ant Clemons. Great voice. JT needs to be doing more solo songs similar to this and speak to his generation as an artist more, especially in these times and being at the forefront. Hope he finds his Marvin Gaye gear so to speak. Reminds me when he did the All-Star collaboration of What's Going On 2 decades ago and his joint Losing My Way. This is fresh & super necessary.

This put tears in my eyes.... during the pandemic as I work in the ICU and watch covid patients passed on and as is Nation turn over a new page it's so good to hear a song of encouragement thank you for this song

[@CarolanneIAMTHEQUANTUM]

Ant and Justin...thank you. I teared up instantly. I am a mom, a student and a dv survivor, brain surgery survivor. I dedicated my life to fighting for clean water. Born and raised on Lake Erie right outside Buffalo, NY. I'm working towards Law school for Environmental Law. Domestic Voilence at the hands of my sons father caused permanent neurological damage. I found out after spending 2020 finding my diagnosis journey while he continued to break the order. A total of 33x..it continues. It took until Dec 2021 to get my chiari diagnosis, after an unnecessary hysterectomy, fibromyalgia diagnosis, ptsd/cptsd diagnosis. The physical violence shook my brain that much. The surgery made things worse. I wanted to be a dancer too, take classes. Dancing has always been healing for me. I feel God when I dance. I can't dance like I wanted to before. I had dreams. Have dreams. Everyday is a reminder of what this man stole from me. I'm on excruciating pain from the second I wake up until I fall asleep. It's not just pain. If I do too much, I'll slur my words for a week, or worse. I haven't been able to do Christmas, school shopping, birthday presents or even the tooth fairy because the jobs I've done were too strenuous. I even got an internship surveying water for my county..a dream job. I ended up in the hospital, and spent 4 days on the couch after a creek revaluation. I lost my job.. I live with God in my heart every single day. I know there's a plan for us. I was on town committees, working to introduce legislation. I was even nominated by my Professors for the National Society of Leadership and success prior to this. My world has crumbled...and there were times I wanted to give up...but I know we will rebuild..and my family and I will heal. He is in custody for breaking the order..still. I am packing and leaving the state with the help of advocates and crisis services because I lost my county job. I've never moved out state before. I have a 40lb lifting forever and I'm packing my house by myself. There are days I cry...days I scream..and days I just exist. Everyday I pray. Thank you for making me feel seen and hopeful. 🙏
