Mary Lambert - Not Ready To Die Yet

[@rachaelbenoit1421]

As someone with bipolar disorder who is gay and never grew up either, I feel all of your music. It speaks to me in a way that few artists can. Thank you for being raw, vulnerable, and so unbelievably beautiful. Damn, you are magic.

[@tonicoppins9606]

I nearly died on the 17 th of July 2024 and have been given a second chance! I have endstage copd, emphysema , which is a lung disease. I live in a rest home in the hospital part, and I was found unconscious with my oxygen levels of only 43. (A normal person is 98 to 100% oxygen) they tried cpr on me and rushed me to emergency department and said they did what they could and put me in a palliative care room.Thank God my best friend works at the hospital and found out and rang my next of kin and they demanded to not put me on palliative care until my daughter from overseas came and saw me, from then my friend demanded to give me all the necessary breathing equipment I needed and medication I needed and if it wasn't for them and God not wanting me yet, I would not be here today! And I'm so grateful and this song is powerful! I'm only 55 and I'm not ready to go yet! So thank you for this song Mary Lambert! Xxxx ❤

Her voice is one of the most calming sounds I've ever heard

[@NautiandNice52]

Yes

[@Valeria-xf3pw]

She is my sis

[@welp4209]

WHAT

[@tereseduffy6591]

I totally agree!

[@14THEPINKPANTHER]

Such a healing song. I was there at the Michigan show and met her. She is super sweet and kind. It was the first show I ever went to alone and it felt like a spiritual experience. Like all of us were singing back, hands to the sky, and all of our hearts were breaking enough so we could let healing in. It's like we all shared similar experiences and I saw so many people like me in the crowd. I made a few online friends. There was even a couple who got engaged at the meet and greet. Idk I just don't think I've ever felt so much love in a room full of strangers. It was magical and how she captures an audience is unbelievable. Her music has helped me through my darkest hours and I'm forever grateful. ♡

[@victoriar8284]

ive met her before too. such a pure amazing soul. her shows are just magical

[@jesseurban4625]

Beautifully said. Thank you!

[@Idiot_TaylorsVersion]

I live in Michigan and I really wish I had gotten to see her. I’m plus size and queer so she’s a big role model for me

[@SamFarah86]

Amazing voice, beautiful songs, very underrated artist.

[@DoranGale]

Couldn’t listen to the while thing. Too relatable. Too raw. Hurts too much. Brilliant, but... I just can’t... *;*

[@nigegrizzle9000]

Oh Mary baby. I can’t believe I’ve only just found this song. I wish I could give you a massive hug and let you know how much this has helped me and other people out there. Xxx

[@kaseykistner2688]

My wife sent me this song. 10 months ago my heart Started to slow down and not recover, I spent a week in the hospital and a day, one room from ICU my heart rate dropped to 30 beats and wouldn’t recover. At this time I had been asleep from the moment I walked in the door not knowing anything. They saved my life by installing a Pacemaker that runs 72% I am now fighting high blood pressure in 180/114 range. I’m only 37yrs old and we are trying everything we can. This song has been my life for sometime now, we have videos of me passing out without control. Prior to all this I had not been myself for a few years. Thank you Mary Lambert your song has helped me understand.

[@Jylart]

I'm bipolar too. I've never had someone explain my illness like this. I just had chills the entire time. People try and help but nobody can understand the magnitude of this illness unless they've lived it themselves. I just discovered Mary yesterday!! I'm so glad I did. Thank you Mary!!

[@wwShadow7]

How does this only have 58K views in 3 years? Creative accounting by anderson consulting?

[@jya4931]

Honestly balled my eyes out. This song is literally keeping me alive right now and letting me feel all of the feels. To have the gift of being able to express so much in a song and every song you sing Mary and creative is just something else, really something else xx

[@moonlightnkanyezi]

This song gave me the strength to start the turning point of my life.I am so happy now .I realized that avoiding life makes me miserable.Now I am living life with faith not fear.Life is good guys let embrace it.

[@Kara_Kay_Eschel]

I have been putting off to listen to this song for almost a year. I am about to tear up.

[@37butterflyprincess]

How is it I am just NOW really discovering you? So many of your songs touch my soul and are just amazing and relatable. Thank you

[@jesshasnofilter]

She (you, Mary) saved me by vocalizing my thoughts...and who knows how many others. I feel the lyrics of so many songs in my bones.

[@jesshasnofilter]

Tldr: thanks

[@lschizzle]

Her music touches my soul and lights a flame every time.

[@brendavisceglia9034]

the great Yanka Roupkina, who I took some Bulgarian singing lessons from , and who was the main soloist of the Bulgarian Women's Choir, came to NYC after 9/11 and taught some group classes and she told a group of New Yorkers that "to be a singer, you must be stronger than everyone else". She was not only the main soloist for the Bulgarian Women's Choir but was the sole survivor of the airplane crash that also killed the rest of the choir. She was called the "Angel of Bulgaria". You, have a gift and you are teaching by singing because you are that type of singer that Yanka told us about. Brilliant.

[@bryans.douglas1017]

Such a human emotional vulnerability expressed through such beautiful words and voice. Truly touched my soul. Thank you for sharing your heart.

[@katefoulke7774]

Thank you for this. It touches my soul. This is my unsaid struggle in words and beautiful music. I share your pain.

[@iLoveMusicQ8]

Beautiful and necessary to hear 💜

[@beththevegetarianchef7940]

I’m really sorry if you’re going through a hard time, you are so amazing and strong and you deserve to live and be happy. Talking to someone you love and trust about how you feel can really help, as can therapy and support groups.

[@iLoveMusicQ8]

@@beththevegetarianchef7940 Thank you for the message, I'm doing well, I just think the song has a beautiful and necessary message that everyone needs to hear, and I love the fact that it makes people reach out to others the same way you did because you never know when someone need to hear that :)

[@the.blazingsunrise]

After losing my mother more than a decade ago, this song reminded me of her and how she felt before passing. I've felt this way from time to time. Thank you for such beautiful lyrics, and music.

[@Rainbowgyrl79]

Spoke to me in a million ways Thank you for saying what so many of us try to say in such a beautiful way.

Her emotions in this and the song itself are so powerful. I have no words.

[@Kyoskie]

This song sings to all the times I let Bipolar Depression get to me. I thought I was the only one who felt like this; these intrusive shameful/guilty thoughts eating away. Mary keep giving those frissons (music chills) with your relatable truthful songs.

[@victoriar8284]
