My partner of almost 9 years passed away at the beginning of January this year. We lived together for 3 years and I was blessed to have known him. He was a minister and passed away from neuroblastoma cancer (a cancer that normally only affects children). He was only 42 and struggled with coming out most of his life. He bravely battled with cancer for 6 years. A couple of days after he passed I got up the strength to go back to work (retail) and I heard this song for the first time. It has truly been my anthem for getting through this transition in my life and reassures me that he is still with me every day. Thank you Ingrid for blessing us with this song. Beautiful video too.

+SeanFromPVD thats absolutely not what being indie means man lol. Just because your music is not topping the charts does not mean that the artist is then "indie". Shes just not popular. But yes she is technically signed to an dependent label so she is an indie artist although there are definitely major mainstream labels that would like to sign her but it comes at a cost, she would have to produce a record with one of their producers and they probably decide the final cut of the album

I like when she said 'Living like you're dying isn't living at all.' It just told me I needed to move on with my life, because bad things happen, people die. It also reminded me of something I heard off a TV show (Once Upon a Time I think) adn it said 'Surviving isn't living.' I think if we remember that, we will be happy in life. Love you Ingrid.
