Keaton Henson - You

[@ManicMuzee]

This song got me through when my newborn suffered a heart attack at birth and she had been fighting so hard but started to lose the battle. It was my way to process that if she needed to leave it was okay. We were blessed and she made a miraculous turn around and turns 10 this month. Now I pass this song 10 years later to my amazing step daughter, who just lost an amazing person in her life today. Sometimes songs create a space for things that would otherwise be too big to express. So grateful for this artist.

[@dazlenlen]

This song doesn't remind me of anyone but myself, when I'm at my worst, when I lay down in bed for hours staring at the ceiling, when I'm in class and my heart beats so fast I can't pay attention to what the teacher is saying, when my hands are shaking so much I don't know what to do, when I'm crying so hard I can barely breath, when I'm so sad so scared so confused. It also reminds me that I'm still alive and that I have to stay alive, it's never easy but I haven't given up yet.

[@rezivajvoda3726]

Hey...be brave! Please know that you matter and things WILL get better! Trust me, I know.

[@flodaz2277]

Oh darling so sensitive it sounds artistic to me though..., think I know what it is like.

[@sapphael.]

That's the entire purpose of this music, to stimulate your mind and help you clear you head. It helps me to get my priorities straight, look at the big picture and reminds me how short and precious life is.

[@sarnia1983]

The line 'die knowing your life was my life's best part' must be one of the most beautiful, haunting and romantic things I have ever heard.

[@skypekai]

No

[@queertati]

This song I dedicate to myself. It's a tough battle to validate my feelings and be kind to myself about plenty of symptoms to my diagnostics. At the end of the day, the only person who gets me in every way and can be by my side is me. And that's okay.

[@Eim1nJC]

The reason why I love Keaton, you can hear the life itself in his voice the pain, the relief and sorrow. He isn't singing "you can do it" instead of that this is a song about life "If you must die, die remembering your life, if you must live, just live ". He is definitely comforting right now..

[@shiloh6810]

His voice gives me chills.... This song makes me cry so hard

[@breadna_]

[@RebelliousAudio]

This song pulled me through a fucking bad depression and pretty much saved my life. I can now finally listen to this song without breaking down. Thanks so much Keaton, you , unknowingly, meant the world to me! Edit: if you’re dealing with depression: Don’t give up. Find people to talk to. Let go of all shame and talk. I know the pain in opening up to people, but at least try.

Full Lyrics: If you must wait, Wait for them here in my arms as I shake If you must weep, Do it right here in my bed as I sleep If you must mourn, my love Mourn with the moon and the stars up above If you must mourn, Don't do it alone If you must leave, Leave as though fire burns under your feet If you must speak, Speak every word as though it were unique If you must die, sweetheart Die knowing your life was my life's best part And if you must die, Remember your life You are You are Oh, you are You are Oh If you must fight, Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night If you must work, Work to leave some part of you on this earth If you must live, darling one, Just live Just live Just live

This song is so special to me. For some reason, it brings out both the worst and best of me. It connects me to the deepest, darkest, self destructive feelings, yet it also lets me silent the noise of my mind. I guess that's what art can do to you.

What I find wonderfull about Keaton, is that he talks about death in such a lovely way, he makes you feel like it isn't such a bad thing. The other thing is that he talks about devotion, like everything he does is so thoughtful and sweet. His song are heartbreaking but also enchanting.

[@jeromeazevedo-v3c]

Ladies and gentlemen. We are all blessed to be alive at the same time as this artist. I have never heard a song so true and pure.

[@Alex-li1kh]

Honestly what i adore most about this song is that if you scroll through the comments, how a simple song can make so many people sentimental of a sort or relating / making a connection to some point in their life, such as a newfound love, a broken heart, or just even the pain of a lost one. I find it utterly beautiful and breathtaking

Volviendo a escuchar esta hermosa canción.

[@Dextr73]

A beautifully haunting song that evokes deep emotion within the heart and soul. Certain songs/artists just seem to have that special ability to make you fall silent and deep into thought about your life, the people, and things that are truly important. It causes you to reflect on the things that really matter as well as the regrets of things that you should or shouldn't have done during the brief time spent walking this earth. This is one of those songs imo.

[@lsonnenstaub3609]

this song goes so deep. I felt fine and now I am almost crying.

I forgot about this gem. First time I heard it was in the series “In the Flesh” and I cried so hard. That series is my favorite of all time and this song just fit it perfectly. I heard it again yesterday for the first time in years while playing Life is Strange: True Colors. I cried instantly. And I didn’t know why. I had forgotten this song and couldn’t recognize it. But somehow, my heart still could. This song truly is a masterpiece.

I just hope that one day I can scroll down to the comment section of a Keaton Henson's music video and not see someone criticizing the fact that he makes his music with his heart and pours out his soul into it, without even regarding the fact that his music is genuine. And please note that I am not talking about opinions, everyone has their right to form an opinion about an artist, but this is basically saying he can't make "sad" music. Yes, he can. And it's beautiful.

It isn't the words that get to me the most, it's the emotion I feel in his voice. It's like it pierces the deep corners of my heart to the scar tissue that isn't fully healed and makes it beat irregular. Almost like anticipation and sorrow in a unusual, twisted way.

I Googled one of his sons Keaton and I was impressed that he is very much like me. He is a fellow Poet and he suffers from anxiety. I'm in awe of his bravery of putting himself out there.

[@MRxROID]

this man has a voice, he needs to be big. this guy has one of the best voices I've heard in a long time

[@iiamnev]

I remember listening to Keaton after my first real break-up, it destroyed me, and I remember it was during finals, which totally made me question why exactly I'm still around on this planet, I went to bed 4 am if I ever did, I drank a ton of pills, and I didn't talk to anyone, I genuinely thought that this person I lost, was the first and the last, and I was bumbed out for months after, but eventually things died down, I decided to move on, or try my very best, and dismiss all emotions for my previous partner, I've been in a relationship with another person for the past few months now, and I really hope things will work out this time, and that I won't have to find myself back here, listening to this, and thinking of the things I did back then. I hope you're all doing great, and that you'll have fantastic lifes, that you'll meet amazing people who'll carry you through all of the hurdles this crazy rat-race of a life throws at us.

[@elionholf3529]

Keaton`s music is the most healing and the most injuring for me

[@oceane_vie]

According to me, Keaton Henson really embodies melancholia and always transcribes pain in a perfect way through his lyrics, which are so much sad and intense. That's what makes him an incredible artist !

[@carminazo]

"if you must fight, fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night" is the quote i repeat to my self when my mind tells me i'm worthless or i get to depressed and have second thoughts. this song literally saved my life

[@christinecruau7355]

Sa voix si douce, si fragile, qui chante à nos oreilles comme un souffle. C'est si beau !

[@rube6361]

Wow. I can't believe I'm back here. I can't believe I ever forgot this artist and his songs. I used to listen to this when I was depressed in secondary school. Wow it's like I am being shown my old self. Life is so beautiful. I could cry knowing I used to listen to this and cry and wish to die. Now I work on being happy and appreciate my life. Even if I forget who I used to be, I'll never truly lose myself.

[@blueheartgirl13]

How perfect and beautiful these lyrics are. Its message is so touching: However you grieve, whatever that looks like, it's okay. We have all lost a loved one, and this song feels like a message delivered from them directly to our hearts.

[@tommike4783]

This might be my favorite song of all time.

[@lotchie3530]

It's amazing what it takes to open a person's eyes and bring them back to a reality. One person can affect you so much, and I am now realizing the thin line between love and hate. It's so unreal how heartless a person can be, but from the outside, they seem like the perfect person. It hurts; we're supposed to be real, not perfect, but being heartless isn't real.
