This is the song I listened to on repeat for 5 days straight while my beautiful 5 year old angel slowly died away in front of me. She had one of the most painful types of cancer (stomach). The only thing I could do was sit there with her and pretend not to want to cry my eyes out the whole time. She was such a good hearted girl that she HATED to see us sad and didn't want to see us cry because of her suffering. She cared more about our pain then her own. I played this song because it helped me to keep it together in front of her so I could seem like I was ok. This song a perfect description of what she went through and how I felt about it. On days when I really miss her I just play this song because this song was part of the last moments I had with her. At least now I can let my tears flow because she is with the angels in heaven.

“There is nothing left of you, I can see it in your eyes Sing the anthem of the angels, And say the last goodbye” Man this song and those lyrics will haunt me forever, it’s how I felt after my wife had surgery, she developed hellp syndrome and had to deliver our son early. Poor guy only lasted half an hour. They brought me into the surgery because they pretty much wrote my wife off as going to die. I swore to God if she went I would soon follow as I had no one left. She miraculously pulled through. I hold her close after that and thank God everyday she is alive.

the feeling of losing someone is not something you can get over quickly, it takes time but remember everything that you have done with them, all the happy memories and keep their memories close at heart and you will move on

[@malevolentdefiance2901]

this song is great, brings back a lot of sad memories. Sometimes you hate your life or the way you are now, but in the future you'll miss those moments spent with your friends and family.

[@ifigeneia2961]

My father was diagnosed with cancer a year ago while i had just started my studies abroad. I could visit him every 4-6 months. I watched him transform as cancer took the toll on him. But he hoped he would beat it until he gave his last breath. This song reminds me of our long,painful and lost battle. But we fought.

[@Niroc69420]

Every time i hear the line "there is nothing left of you i can see it in your eyes" it reminds me the day i lost my dog Charly I saw the life dying out in his eyes when he was in my arms, I accompanied him until the end. It was my little angel i loved him so much

[@Dime42069]

This song was played at my son's funeral, Thanx Ben and the rest of the band, this is a great song that's helped a lot of people!

[@charlesgates9786]

In memory of my nephew Otto. Every time I hear this song I am reminded of you. Your grandfather had to pry my fingers off of your baby casket. I left that room with a broken spirit and a heavy heart. It's been 6 months and 7 days since I said my last good bye. The road to recovery has been long and draining and I can't say I've made it to the other side, because every day is a battle on the inside. But I'm going to be fine, because I believe Heaven has a playground and you're playing with your brother Antonio and your cousin Skye.. You're singing the anthem of the angels, but this is not our last good bye.. The battle will be over soon and I shall come home to you one day over the moon. I love you, bud. ^In Memory of Otto John Geiger^ ^August 3, 2014 - November 5, 2014^

[@charlesgates9786]

Thank you, man. You could say I've been around the fight.. It's always a battle. There's always a hill to climb and a monster to slay. Until Kingdom Comes, the battle will wage on and on and on.

[@atomicbaconbits6695]

Charles Gates All the feels from that. Man, I am moved by what you said here.

[@charlesgates9786]

It wasn't my intention, but I'm glad you were moved.. Life is precious. The best of us are cut short before our time, others waste what little time they have, but a few are pulled back from the doors of death. It's hard to say when you've seen too much, but I have seen enough to know that where darkness falls, the light is sure to rise.

[@jxdoyle6636]

You gave me the chills man they are singing the anthem

[@MeowthRocket]

I know how much losing everyone who is dear to you feels. I very much sympathize with you, im losing the people I love most. What advice I can offer you, is to stay strong, and keep up the fight. When one door closes, another opens. someday up in heaven, with the angels, you and everyone youve lost will reunite.

[@_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-]

I saw a post on reddit that summarized this best. "Alright, here goes. I'm old. What that means is that I've survived (so far) and a lot of people I've known and loved did not. I've lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can't imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here's my two cents. I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see. As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive. In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life. Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out. Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks."

I keep holding onto you, But I can’t bring you back to life.” I miss you mom ❤

[@syn586]

These are not just lyrics. This is a poem.

[@idletech482]

I'm probably taking this song way too literally, but I'm gonna share my story anyway. It has a happy ending, so enjoy. There's an awkward age gap in my family, added to the fact that my mother had me at the age of 16. My aunt, Dani, is two years older than me. My uncle, Josh, was four. Growing up, they were the closest thing to siblings I ever had. Sometimes we were complete assholes to each other. The rest of the time, we were thick as thieves. We even worked together into our teens, but then we grew up. Things change. I just turned twenty-three, the same age Josh was when he died, and to run the point home, I remember Dani saying "if something happened to you right now, if you died, would you feel fulfilled? Would you have done everything you wanted to do? Because I know I haven't." She was hit by a car in the middle of a crosswalk not long after that; the force somersaulted her over the vehicle's hood and caused her to slam into the pavement head first, suffering multiple skull fractures and a broken spine. The doctors told us not to get our hopes up, because people in her condition don't typically survive. I learned a lot about Traumatic Brain Injuries in the meantime; apparently, swelling in the brain following an accident like that can cause even more damage than the initial trauma itself. They measured the pressure in her skull every hour or so, doing everything in their power to keep those numbers down. They told us that a pressure reading between 7 and 15 was normal, but if it went over 20, the patient was in trouble. Over 30, and there wasn't enough blood getting to the brain. They could give her drugs. Mannitol, mainly. They could drain the fluids from her brain and hope it didn't carry an infection back in. Everything they tried worked...for an hour or two. Then the numbers went back up. Secondary infections set in. They had dozens of things to try, but after fighting the inevitable for a few days, we were running out of options. They tried putting her into a Pentobarbital coma: a highly experimental treatment for severe TBI which put her so deep under she wasn't even capable of breathing on her own. Following that, she kept numbers in the twenties range for a solid three hours. We were so happy we went out to eat. To celebrate, you know? We actually dared to think she'd be okay. When we got back, her numbers were at 45: right in the lethal range of where her brain might herniate and put her in cardiac arrest. It would happen quickly, unexpectedly, and be over in moments. I stayed up with her. Just in case, you know? This song reminds me so much of that night: I wanted my mom and grandmother to get a full 8 hours of sleep, so I didn't want to wake anyone unless the pressure in her skull hit thirty. It hit thirty within the hour, so I decided thirty-five was more reasonable. I spent the night alone in that dark hospital room, clasping her cold hands while I watched the numbers rise. I talked to her; it's so easy to spill everything to a coma patient. I told her that if she didn't make it, I wasn't sure I wanted to keep going, either. There was a little girl screaming in the next room; the hospital's neuro-trauma ICU doubled as a critical burn unit, and a little girl with severe burns had just been put next door. I remember it being three a.m and hearing this little kid screaming "mommy please no!" over and over again and wondering if it was even real. Then, Dani's numbers hit 35, and I couldn't wait any longer. The nurse, who had been so optimistic before, said today would probably be the day we had "the talk" about ending life support. That was all one day. Twenty-four hours in that hospital room. A constant roller-coaster of emotions we went through every day, not knowing if she'd make it through the night, or what sort of life she'd have if she did make it, which continued for weeks. The neurosurgeon kept repeating that recovering from a TBI wasn't a fifty meter dash, it was a marathon. He was right. When her numbers started to improve, and we believed the worse was behind us, the neurosurgeon sat us down and explained that she was in a vegetative state and would never wake up again. We had to consider whether or not to unplug life support from that same person who had a theme song for me, kicked my ass at Guitar Hero, and joined me on the roof to talk about life and how afraid we were of the future. There's no moral right or wrong decision in that case; you're always wondering if what you're doing is the right choice. What if? The weather's been getting colder and I've been thinking about it a lot lately, I guess. Yet, despite the doctors and nurses and surgeons swearing up and down she'd never wake up again, she did. At first, she couldn't read, write, or speak. The communication barrier was awful. She cried a lot. She didn't remember anyone. She didn't remember Josh. She spent the next few weeks recovering by leaps and bounds, so quickly that no rehab facility would take her; any doctor looking at her medical records refused to believe that a patient with ICP numbers that high could be responsive, so we had to attach videos to her files to prove it. She ended up making a full recovery, other than some struggles with reading comprehension. It's just one of those things that changes everything. Puts the important things into perspective. Life is too short, and it can be over too fast.

Thank you very much everyone for you compassion, understanding & kind words. We had a beautiful baby daughter Alana Maisie Gibson born sleeping 12th January 2017.

Had a second beautiful baby daughter Hayley Joyce Gibson born alive & well 25th January 2018. Unfortunately with the outbreak of the Covid19. Was the straw that broke the camel's back on our marriage. Our Psychiatrist tells me that most relationships don't survive the loss of a child. We are still parents. Just not together any more.

[@PatriotPack]

I love BB poetic imagery in this song. I imagine it takes place in hospice or some hospital "cold lights above us" and "rain taps the window" "the walls are white" "we will sleep among the dead". My favourite "the light will never touch your face" considering that BB sets the mood of the scene with rain and the fact that hospital curtains are usually closed and patients are feeling artificial light instead of light. When the "rain taps" it is gentle which means the moment is not chaotic it's persistent; likewise, mirroring the visitor's sorrow. Rain is often associated with sadness. Just the words he uses "cold" "white" "rain" "winter" set the atmosphere of the song. Just a small analysis. I'm probably completely wrong but this song hits really fucking hard 🤘

I never left your side. You were an inspiration and hero to all who knew and loved you. You taught me what it is to sacrifice. Give me strength to continue on until the day that we can hold each other again. I love you Momma now and always. RIP Rosie Lee Dozier-Sanford. 07.28.55 - 10.14.13. I know you're singing with the angels.

R.Ip auntie i love you ill see you when my time in this life is done.

I like singing this song for some reason

[@oscaryanezzavala]

Agreed

[@MrJLov13]

This song hits me directly in my heart every time I hear it because it makes me think of my late Paternal Grandfather. For so many years, Grandpa never knew he even HAD a grandson thanks to the fact that his deadbeat son (my father) walked out on my mom before I was born and didn't even bother to tell his father he had a grandson. So when he finally found out the truth when my mom came home from the Army when I was about 12, he was so happy because he finally had a grandson to carry on his name. But the day he passed just 4 years ago, I was BEYOND devastated. I felt like I was just starting to really get to know him. He was the closest thing to a father figure I had and we had really established a close bond and then he was gone. I can honestly say that I've never cried more before, during, or even after a funeral than I did when I lost him, I just refused to accept it. I was so upset and broken inside that my mother and my Paternal Grandmother were consoling me and holding me up at the funeral. I've finally learned to move on (though it hasn't been very easy) but I still hold onto his memory very dearly and even went so far as to change my last name to his family's last name to honor his last wish of carrying on his legacy after his death.

[@lydiawinchester2718]

The angels sang their anthem, as I was watching the flames burn higher into the sky, the black smoke burning the blue out of the sky. I said goodbye to the only friend I've ever had, a tear running down my glassy eyes. I fell to my knees, the faint pain nothing compared to the pain I felt inside, like somebody had cut open my chest and ripped out my heart, leaving only hate, grief, anger and confusion. "I'm sorry." I whispered, the flaming body saying nothing back. Sobs wrecked my body, shaking me like a tree in a feirce storm as I said my final goodbyes.

[@solodragun]

Sat with my father day in and day out, the last month and half of his life after a 4 year battle with cancer. Day by day, he grew increasingly less lucid, less coherent. In the last 3 or 4 days, he had lost the strength to even speak, and the week prior to that, anything he had to say began to make little sense. I clung to every word still, every moment, every breath, like never before. He was as much my best friend as he was my father. It's been 2 years since he left, and I miss him terribly every day. I've not yet found another song that so powerfully encapsulates how I felt during that time or portrays those moments like a story captured in a song. I highly doubt I ever will.

[@JoawMebs-im6ix]

Wish i could meet and or hug you. Lost my dad 3 years ago and i can relate to you. I still remember the hospice at the end. I would be there all night so my mom and sisters could get some rest. I didnt leave his side.

[@sunwrey7398]

Those orchestra strings in this song just hit me so hard man. First time I heard this song at 14 years old, it stopped me in my tracks. It was like Ben wrote down the words that were in my heart that I couldnt get out. I have “ Sing the anthem of the angels” tattooed on my arm. In remembrance of my baby sis. Such a beautiful piece.

[@JohnDoe-zc4xg]

This music is so powerful. It hits me hard right in the center of the chest. Afterwards i fell stronger. Like everything in my personal journey has shaped me to be stronger. This is music for the soul.

[@carlaw8677]

Lost my very best friend and rock, my dad to cancer a few years ago. Never left his side in the short 11 days from diagnosis to his passing. This song resonates with me so much. Benjamin Burnley is a Master 🙏♥️ RIP Dad..you were the best and I miss you so damn much. The pain doesn’t end.

[@Hale-pq8yd]

awww I feel bad for him... I feel, literally, his pain in his voice... He had to go through a lot... ;/ I'm understand, and now I like him & his music

[@elizabethkeffer8355]

I found this song a few weeks after my mother passed away here at home , It fits with everything that happend. I stayed up days and nights with my mother , We had a bed up in the living room for her , Our walls are all white and it was raining those few days. I stayed up because i just couldn't find it in myself to leave her side , She was a very strong woman because her body gave out on her. We could all see that she showed me a long time ago what to look for , When a person was getting closer to their time. She stayed with us that night until the next morning , The weirder part of it all was the days leading up to that morning. We heard my grandmother say hello to us , Freaked us both out at the time. Now my mother is gone and out of all that pain she was in , Rip mom we will always love you!

[@sirblake4938]

September 2016 I lost my father to ALS (IceBucketChallenge disease). ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, meaning it slowly breaks down all the muscles in the body. There is no cure, no hope. You get diagnosed with ALS you die. After diagnosis you have around 3 to 5 years to live. The problem is it will be a horrible few years. One musclegroup at a time stops to do its work. You lose the ability to walk, to speak, to put on shoes, hell you'll even lose the ability to wipe your own arse. It all ends when at last even your respiration muscles stop funtioning. I lost my father to this. He did not have 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. He died 9 months after diagnosis, age 52. Every time I hear this song tears come to my eyes. The lyrics are so horribly familiar, ''there is nothing left of you, I can see it in your eyes.'' "Hope fills the heart and fades away." "Skin white as winter, as the sky returns to grey." "You are dead alive"

[@neotradnous]

sir Blake I lost my dad to it as well in 2011 after watching him wither away for 4 Years. I always say this song describes word for word the morning we lost him when I was only 11. Bless you for also losing someone to one of the worst diseases known to man. Nobody understands.

[@dizzles2198]

[@SkylerAnne]

This song made me think of my nana. She died on August 24, 2010. I was nine at the time, about to turn ten in two months. She was very depressed because of some stuff that had happened to her. She committed suicide. Now because of that mom has severe depression and anxiety and ptsd (post traumatic stress disorder), and I also have severe depression. Mom was talking to nana (on the phone) right before it happened. If any of you are thinking of ending your life, please think about it first. Your actions could hurt so many people. They could be traumatized by it for the rest of their lives. Especially if they walked in and found you with a bullet in your head, or a rope around your neck, or a knife in your heart, or whatever you chose to do. You never know what could happen. They might also be depressed and as soon as they saw the gun, or the rope, or the knife, or the pill bottle or whatever you used they might grab it and end their life too. So please, think about it before you decide to end your life. I hope you all have a good day, and don't give up. You are strong and you will get through this. You will win this battle with your depression or anxiety or any other mental illness you might have. Just try to be strong, and if you are depressed please try to get help. Go to a counselor, talk to a friend, get some antidepressants, do whatever it takes, just PLEASE try to get better. I believe in you, you can do this.

Everyone relates this song to death, and I personally relate it not just to death, but to watching someone change after witnessing a death and losing someone close to them...Its like they die too - they lose their innocence, they are no longer who they were before, and that person that they were is never coming back . Its like the loss of two people in very different ways. "You're dead alive". This song is truly heart wrenching and beautiful.
