[@LivingstonMusic]

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

[@strangekitty2505]

No, thank YOU! We all needed this song, its absolutely one of those songs that just gives me instant chills and makes me want to scream the lyrics. I showed my mom the demo you had for it and the lyrics hit her in the heart too, so I think this will be at the top of our playlists for a long time. Thank you. 💖

[@user-of7gf4kx3e]

I don't know why I like your music, but I'm glad I do. Thanks for giving me hope, dude

I noticed that nobody had posted lyrics and it wasn't in the description, so I listened a few times and wrote them down Let me know if anything is wrong 💖 Lyrics: It's just genetic It's written in your DNA It's symptomatic At least that's what the doctors say It's in your nature Finding darkness in the brightest day But here we are Cause you were made from stars To live a life you'd never love So if this is the last night And you're feeling hollow I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere That I wouldn't follow I'm chasing your last light To wherever I go Oh our elements change Into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time That we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow You know I said it I'd never let you fade away It's energetic The bond was never meant to break You were made from scars To live a life you'd rise above So if this is the last night And you're feeling hollow I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere That I wouldn't follow I'm chasing your last light To wherever I go Oh our elements change Into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time That we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow If this is the last time That we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow If this is the last Time I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow There isn't any Where I'm chasing your last light To wherever I go Oh our elements change Into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time That we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow If this is the last time That we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life So you'll see tomorrow

I am in the UK.I am 81 and have listened to the Beatles,David Bowie so many bands of the 60s. YOUR music is amazing and I'm so glad I lived to hear it.I wish you the best life and keep writing and sharing your talent. 3:07

[@eyesonwashington1]

Your comment is so moving and heartfelt, and I as a 42 year old with the love of so many artists from my lifetime to the times of my parents and grandparents, I can honestly say the music of today is amazing! I love reading comments like yours, giving your heartfelt responses to this kind of music! Thank you for your share!

[@karinwerk6880]

I feel the same. I am 60, I feel so grateful to be tuned in enough to have found your music! I was fearing there never would be anything more "new" in popular music.

Lyrics: It's just genetic, it's written in your DNA It's symptomatic, at least that's what the doctors say It's in your nature finding darkness in the brightest day But here we are Cause you were made from stars to live a life you'll never love So if this is the last night, and your feeling hollow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere that I would follow I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh our elements change in to chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll never borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow You know I said it, I'd never let you fade away It's energetic, the bond was never ment to break You were made from scars to live a life you'd rise above So if this is the last night, and your feeling hollow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere that I would follow I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh our elements change in to chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll never borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow If this the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow So if this is the last Time I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't any Where I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh our elements change into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow If this is the last time that we ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow

This song is so great dude

[@unacceptablekrazykanuck8470]

Kid, I am a true metal head, I watch your videos with your family, and it brings me to tears every listen. If you ever seen me ~ people think I look scary, a tough guy , my heart and strength is way larger than my anger . Thank u for so much light in our darkest days , much respect 🙏

[@DR4GONG0D]

I’m with you on this all the way

[@jenovapear9629]

This is me too. Haha

[@charlie1111]

This song had me crying in my sleep last night, that's how much it's affected me. I have never related to a song more in my life. Mental illness and neurodivergence run on both sides of my family. I lost my brother to suicide 20 years ago, for the first 9 years I was inconsolable. This song is what I wish I could have said to him...

[@karinwerk6880]

I'm proud of you for never giving up Livingston! You were made for this. When you find that thing you were made for hold on tight. Most of us search for it most our lives.

[@joshuakunze8930]

When you think that there’s no way that more music that moves people here comes the gift that God gave you. Your music is a blessing. I thank God for you

[@dragonoid4600]

Honestly this song is getting me through a lot right now. "You were made from scars to live a life you'd rise above" is the line that hits the hardest for me. Your music makes me feel like I can make it if I just keep pushing through. Thank you.

[@prince-of-the-abyss3324]

This song literally gave me the goosebumps from how close to home it hit for me and the person I would do anything for as she means the absolute world to me

How do all your songs resonate so much with me? I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Your music is truly a gift to this world, thank you 🥹

[@olililiomart3472]

I have never started crying because I heard a song… this just touched a part of my soul that I have been so scared to access. Thank you for this beautiful song. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@felixoyola-rosa923]

I lost my partner of almost 5 years last month to a heart attack, and this song just...it speaks to me. Thank you for making this. When I miss her, I just put this on and it just encapsulates my feelings

[@MeganKugs]

I can’t imagine how you’re feeling but I’m glad you’re finding solace. I hope you have love and support around you and I hope you’ll do your best to live well. You have love from me and a place in my thoughts. 💜

[@kimtrisler5340]

I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏😔 I don't know how it is to lose a partner but I know how it feels to lose a family member and it HURTS! Sorry for your loss 😢

[@Nosecandy-lt1zq]

Wish I I could see everyone I’ve lost to addictions and mental health. Thanks Livingston. A lot of us needed this

[@JustCamW03]

This is definitely worth the wait. The journey and backstory of this song makes it even better. I've listened to it 8 times in a row now and it still feels as good as the first. Can't wait to see what you gift us with next. I've now been listening for an hour straight and I don't want to stop. The emotions that are felt not only by him but also the listeners shows that, without a doubt, Livingston is not only the present, but also the future After 2 hours I'm finally going to the other videos i planned on watching but, when im done, I'll probably be back. Thank you Livingston for putting your full life into making an amazing song.

@@SoriethRisika so he first wrote some of it on a plane ride back home and played it for his mom. They then both preceded to finish this masterpiece. I guess it's technically not a "backstory" to the lyrics but, I would say it's the backstory of the making of the song, I guess

@LivingstonMusic I've had to help some friends from the edge before, and step into some pretty dark places to bring them back into the light. I see this song as a perfect representation of that and the emotions that come with it. Thank you so much for your music, and if you've ever been in the same situation as me, please keep fighting to save everyone. Here's to you, here's to tomorrow, and here's to life.
