Life and Death - Paul Cardall (Official Video)

[@bocephusg2019]

My wife died of leukemia in 2017 . She was the love of my life and my best friend . When she was in the hospital this song would come on on Pandora , it would help her fall asleep . I never realized what the song was actually about until she passed . Thank you sir for bringing peace and rest to my wife when she was at her worst . I just can never say thank you enough .

[@MJ-fj9yv]

I read your comment while sitting here in a hospital myself. Life…is so terribly short. But even if that one drop is shared with someone we love, our life meant something. God bless you and your departed wife. I sincerely hope you see her again.

[@conniewaterman1673]

You must have loved your beautiful wife so much! I pray that your pain has eased and that you have found hope and joy in your life again. I have 2 friends suffering from Leukemia now. Lots of prayers and so many close calls with death, but I know that one day they and we will all go to a much better place.❤

[@cardall]

Thanks for all of the comments. Yes,the main theme of this piece was originally composed by Michael Giacchino for the show LOST. While waiting for a heart transplant, unsure of my future, I watched LOST and loved the music. The show was a big part of my experience and, therefore, I expanded upon Michael's brilliance with my own interpretation of his inspired piece. I am glad you enjoy it.

[@fco.javierfabregat50]

By this theme I met the music of Paul. It was one of the first pieces I learned to play to the piano.

Of course it was just a general comment and a line which I thought was nice.

[@toastietube]

+iamtingley That's a quote from Lost, from the character Desmond, though people usually spell it brutha when quoting Des. It might sound insensitive out of context, but I think Blorf meant it as a friendly compliment.

I cried all the way through this piece ... My husband suffers from heart, liver and kidney failure along with COPD, ..among many other issues..he takes up to 18 different drugs a day just to be able to breathe..he's had 6 strokes and 3 heart attaches but yet he is still walking and talking.. God is great...however I do know that it's not always going to be like this..I will lose him to this disease one day..for now I'm going to enjoy the time I have with him..some people don't get to have 2nd's or 3rd chances ..our son who is almost 19 years old and I have had many nights in the hospital where we didn't know if he was going to make it or not but only by God good grace he survived..my husband says he doesn't understand why he's still here when normally one stroke can kill you but having 4 all at once ..and then 2 more a year later.. and to walk out of the hospital a week later..(and they were full blown strokes that should of killed him..doctors were coming in and shaking his hand they couldn't believe it)..he sometimes has this survival guilt ...I tell him all the time God isn't done with you ...and that your here for a reason.. For anyone who reads this..just know yes it's devestating to watch your love one suffer but God can move mountains ... So pray.. miracles happen all the time.. I should know I'm living with one...may God bless you all!!

@Michele M ..wow thank you so much....since then I've had my ups and downs... In Oct 2,2019 I lost my best friend.. unexpectedly...it was a shock to us all..she had 3 kids.. 2 grown adults and a 13 year old...she is very much missed On Halloween night Oct 31,2019 I was hit by a car going 45 miles an hour... I was in the hospital for a month... I lost all memory somehow I don't know how they found out a friend of mines number and got a hold of my family..i had a server concussion..24 hours .my family found out..they thought I was at a friend's so that's why they didn't look for me... On Dec 10,2019 I lost a very close close friend...if I wasn't married I would of been too him..but we were better off as friends... He spent the night at our house..he was on the couch I was on the other couch and my husband in the recliner..we fell asleep watching a movie...my husband and I wake up very early..it was about 5am..and I went over Peter our friend..and he wasn't breathing..he had diabetes really bad..I checked his sugar the night before it was a little high so I gave him his meds..he had his right leg amputated because of diabetes...but anyways I tried getting him off the couch but I couldn't cause I wasn't strong enough with my back and legs...and my husband couldn't because he was sickly..my husband called 911 while I preformed CPR... They worked on him for an hour.. sadly he died... And then in March my family had another family death... So it hasn't been the best 8 months... I'm waiting for things to get better any time...I'm sure they will... I still believe in prayer..and the power of God... Don't ever question his love.. I remember one night I couldn't handle all the pain and I was crying I asked the Lord to either take my life or take the pain..I couldn't bare it any longer..all night long I prayed..the next day I was better..I didn't cry..they were not the first thing I thought about when I woke up..yes I was sad but I wasn't crumbling..or felt like I wanted to die..I remember thanking God and asking if I should feel this way.. should I be hurting should I have guilt..and I remember my best friend saying that she would never want anyone crying for her..or not living their life... And Peter the same thing..he wanted me to be happy...so I try to live the way they would want me too....I still have days..but I'm no longer in my bed day after day..wishing to die... So yes life is hard...but it's beautiful as well...don't stop living and tell those around you that you love them... believe.....forgive.. live..and love... Life is too short !!!

How wonderful certain Pandora stations still plays this. I hear several times a week. I first heard this song on PBS where it was played while brief memorials were read for those who succumbed to COVID. I am a retired nurse who worked in Pediatrics when HIV started, no treatment & people died. When this piece came on I wept for those families who lost their loved ones from COVID and the nurses who cared for them. My 1980s experience was tough and it was nothing like what health care workers, patients and families went through during COVID. Thank you all HC workers. May those grieving families and friends have some peace today. We have not forgotten you. And thank you Paul and Micheal for your inspired piece.

[@neverthesame7887]

Every time I hear this song my heart just SOARS with happiness. But it's bittersweet because even though it brings me back to the early moments as a single mother with sons ages 7 & 9, I remember how my world just imploded when my husband of 11 years just up and left after meeting someone else--I never saw it coming. My world was perfect, all I wanted was to be a wife and mother and how ironic because I never wanted to miss even one minute of my children growing up. It wasn't that the marriage was bad---it was that he thought he shouldn't have ever married me in the first place (and we'll leave it at that) When those violins kick in at 2:41, it is almost as if this song was written specifically with my sons and I in mind. Because at that very moment when those violins start and my heart seems to break in two, the video shows two young boys with cowboy hats running outside, playing together and just being kids. It's joyful, it's innocent, and it makes me so very sad. BUT, anyway, it's a good sad because it's something I went through and survived and came out the better for it! Well, thank you, Mr. Cardall for sharing your incredible gift with the world! AND PLEASE KEEP WRITING MUSIC! (PS--my youngest son is a musician!)

I listened to this on Pandora this afternoon and it spoke to me. I looked it up and found it here. I listened, I read the story and I cried. I am two weeks out from surgery and I was found to have cancer. It is unknown if it was all removed. Today has been an emotional day for me as I struggle with trying to understand. All I can say is thank you.

+backroads2010 God bless you! CA is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I used to be a MH Counselor for 12 years, one of my specialties being depression. Talk to me if you need to, either here or via my email.

[@SAHogan-bw4wg]

backroads2010 Good, most all of it (save for the depression)! Unless it's A. situational and/or B. keeps you from functioning, know that depression is THE most treatable mental illness. I'm a backpacker myself. String cheese and dried apples make for a great high-energy snack (as do Snickers Bars; don't waste your $ on overrated Power Bars), whiskey is a lot easier to carry than beer, and a good hat/pair of boots are IMPERATIVE. Here's to a GREAT trip!

[@backroads2010]

+S.A. Hogan I think I figured out the depression, the source, and thus, it will no longer be an issue for me. Thankfully. Thanks for the hiking input. It will not be a huge trip, but an opportunity for me to say I did it. It's through a canyon with a creek so shoe choice is narrowed down as much of the hiking is through the creek itself. No whiskey or beer for me. I'll be high on the adventure itself!!!!

[@SAHogan-bw4wg]

backroads2010 Good news! "Heal thyself"---with the help of thy friends, if needed---is better than a chemical cure any day. Have a great time on the hike (couple more pieces of advice: 1. Wet wood and even rocks can be slippery; always better to step over them if you can---unless the wood is dry, in which case it's better to step onto it, as snakes tend to hang out near fallen trees---landing as flat on your foot as possible; 2. Hiking stick MANDATORY for any sort of treacherous footing (and don't forget to carry dry sox)!

[@backroads2010]

+S.A. Hogan I am healing, yes. I fell off a butte just short of two years ago and tore up my face. My life flashed before my eyes. Life is now good. Very good. It would take an essay to explain it. The entire hike will be wet by design. I grew up on a creek and I am fully prepared for slippery. Snakes are an everyday occurrence here. No worries, I'm used to them. A pair of trekking poles are packed as are dry sox. I'm nailing this...!

[@JRAinKY]

I lost my brother to Covid in January. Never got to say good bye. No seeing him in the hospital, no memorial, no funeral. It's been impossible to feel any closure. His birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I wanted to create a slideshow to honor his life and share it with his friends and the family on that day. I'm hoping it will provide us with the closure we so desperately need. I've been searching for the perfect music to accompany this tribute to him and now I've found it. It is the only piece of music I've ever heard that is filled with equal amounts of joy and sorrow at the same time. And that is how I feel about my brother's passing... so deeply and forever grieved at losing him but so very thankful and filled with equal joy that he was in my life.

I remember back when I was going through a slight self-diagnosed depression in 2011, I would listen to this song at night at my moms house. There was a window next to my bed and I would open the curtains to see the moon shining down and had it slightly open to hear the train in the distance as it went further and further into the night. I would get a feeling of peace and mostly sadness at the same time. I did not want the night to end 😥😢. As weird as it sounds I miss those nights very much.

I dedicate this beautiful emotional music to my son who took his life at 33. He was also LOST himself and decided earth is not where he should have been. The weirdest thing is since I was a baby (baby's brain NOT formed yet), I remember looking at my older brother pushing me on the baby cradle and I said, "Why am I here? I am not suppose to be here... and who is this man pushing me on the craddle?" I grew up having problem socializing with people because all this time even now that I am 58 yrs old, I still believe I am NOT from here. A month before my son committed suicide, I was shocked to hear him say, "Mom I don't feel like I belong here". I had no idea he and I felt the same way all this time... LOST. Son, I'm sorry I brought you into this world where you didn't belong. Though your time was short, God obviously had a purpose for you. I love you with all my heart my son Tex. I am so much at peace when God came into my dreams and let me know He had taken you to heaven. Thank you Lord for forgiving my son and sending me your wonderful message. You've given me a peace of mind.

3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3

It’s now 2020 and the collective angst and anxiety in the world is palpable. It’s astonishing how this one song can encompass all the pain and beauty of being alive and the sacred act of ushering those we love into death. I find great comfort in this music and am very grateful to both Michael Giacchino and Paul Carnell.

[@Allen46u5k]

The music really helps with my quiet moments when the PTSD is hard to keep out. Thanks man

[@luvtocmoon]

This piece has literally been the theme of my spiritual awakening. It pulls me into the love and sorrow and it’s just goes beyond words for me. Thank yoi

[@pilaraguirre9692]

Such a beautiful piece......If I words to express my emotions accurately right now, I would.....But the truth remains that, some emotions just don't have a name....one just feels them. This is a beautiful gift to my ears, and soul. Thank you

[@autumnwhispers2me]

I listen to Pandora at night when I can't sleep. Last night I was asleep, the music still playing.. when your song came on. I woke up immediately. It wasn't an unpleasant awakening but... I just fell in love with the song. So I took a screen shot and went looking for the song and album today. Tonight.. I was hoping there was a video. Today, I am thankful. God bless you.... and thank you for the beauty you put into the world with your music.

[@LouisJoey-iy7wq]

Sorry

[@user-nw8xz5hl5w]

His music is simply magical. No other musician has been able to harness the pain and love that has been lost of a loved one. Having lost both my children, this hits home. Thank you for your wonderful music which allows me to remember the good and happy times I spent with my children while they were here. I hope to see them again soon.

[@Eiyaa90]

no words.. only tears come from this moving piece.. well done.. i lost my friend in october due to heart failure.. he was barely 18 this i would love to learn to play.

[@sforti01]

A brothers love is eternal. Thanks for sharing your heart with us all in this incredible heart felt composition of loss and memory.

[@enriquechavezterrones9311]

Thank you, Mr. Cardall. It made me cry a lot, I just lost my mommy in September 25. You beat the death, but there are others, like my mother, that they just are beaten by death.

[@ThePianoGal]

Paul Cardall this song is so pretty. It's very peaceful.

[@normariccobene6932]

Reminds me of my late mother seeing the young person on oxygen. I cared for my late mother it's been almost 5 years now missing her everyday

[@kimisgone]

I am so sorry for your loss. He would of been happy hearing this

[@faithlynx]

There is so much tender beauty in this piece is music. Like a friend, an angel, something of utter grace cloaked and walked by side during one of the most horrific painful experiences of my life. It was indeed a life, death and reborn life experience of my soul. I will remain forever touched by this piece of music.

[@seldina1]

This is literally the first time i have cried in years. I read the description before listening. I started tearing up when i saw the footage of your mother bringing your brother home. This plus my feelings for Lost (my favorite show) and remembering my own deceased family. I just couldnt take it. God bless you and may your brother rest in peace

[@MrGooner26]

My younger brother Lezo Urreiztieta passed away at 20 years of age on December 20, 2013. This new year has been so hard for myself and our family. Not a day passes that we don't ache to have Lezo back. He was able to donate his organs upon his passing. This song and video brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing your love and thankfulness for someone like Lezo. God bless.

[@carrieh3095]

Thank you very much for sharing this song. It made me realize how thankful I am for having a beautiful healthy baby daugther. She is almost 5 months now and she fall asleep while listening to your song. She is my everything and I realize I'm not living just for myself anymore. I whispered to her telling her how much I love her and never to leave me. I hope she realize how much I love her and I will always protect her. God...I'm all teary eyes right now and she looked at me and smiled. :)

[@Atom_Creative_Outlet]

My mom and brother passed away when I was young and one day this song played on the radio and I remember I suddenly started to tear up and as soon as I knew it I was crying. I was going through a horrible break up of a 6 year relationship where she cheated on me with her boss. I held everything in but for some reason this song broke me down and I realized I needed my mom and brother the most at that point in my life but I was alone.

[@sonneversets3530]

You’re never alone when you have Jesus. Hope you have found Him living in your heart.🕊 And your life is much better and blessed for it.

[@leslieorr2522]

That was a very touching and beautiful piece. I have learned to play it on my keyboard. Sometimes life beats me up. I just pray and I go to my keyboard and play whatever comes to my mind. I got the musical talent from God and my family. My Grandfather played harmonica, my dad was a concert pianist in his younger days, I play keyboard and a little piano. My brother plays piano, keyboard, guitar, saxophone in high school, and sings at various restaurants in his neighborhood, his son has been playing cello for 6 yrs now, and his 2 youngest girls want to learn guitar. Our mother's side of the family liked dancing and singing karaoke. I can't sing to save my life. lol! But as you can see our family is musically inclined. So music is very deep with me. Whenever I hear something this beautiful, I will learn it so I can play it when I'm down.

Wife suffers from a myriad of diagnosed ailments. From Lupus, to Parkinson's, to Raynaud's .. the list is long, but that's not the point... I just sometimes get scared, when she's close to the edge... I'm scared that sometimes that I may lose her and I won't be able to find her on the other side. That's all . . I'm nothing but an empty shell of a man without her. and it scares the hell out of me. . Thanks for allowing me to share . On a funny note took me 15 minutes to write that. Started crying uncontrollably . Love to you all -

[@BuckleWinner]

I heard this song on Pandora at work...had to listen to it while I wasn't distracted. After, I looked it up and instantly thought of my mother I lost in March of 2014 from breast cancer. I actually had to play it to a video I created that has no music...and it's perfect... (no I will not use it without your permission hehe). But thank you. It's an amazing song and it still has me in tears thinking of her and her life. Thank you so much.

[@sarahkittelson622]

This is the only song that evokes how I felt sitting with my parents as they were dying. It's an incredible song. SO heartfelt and emotional, with depth and felt in my soul. Thank you Paul. God Bless you.

[@juanitat10]

This is so beautiful. It makes all the longing inside my heart well up into love. It makes me think of people I have lost. Makes me think of my friend, Teddy. He played the piano, he died at a young age. Sometimes I miss him so much. I think of winter nights when we sat together in the kitchen, he playing the guitar and us singing together. Of so many memories, he always made me smile.

I lost my 15 year old son just 13 years ago. His death changed me. i will never be the same but I can be o.k. It has taken me many years to get to the place I am now. I can now celebrate the 15 1/2 years I had with him instead of crying all of the time. But that hole in my heart is still there and always will be there. He is my child and he will be mine forever...it's just going to take a minute for me to get there! I love this song! It's joy and sadness. Exactly what I feel when I think of my Zachary. Thank you Paul!

LET GO & MOVE ON... Everyone was lost and everyone had lost something or someone. Feeling lonely, left all alone... Failed to accept, scared to face, holding grudge, grief stricken, drowned into misery, empty hearted, heartbroken, seeking for hope, regretting, trying to fix, suffering to hold onto, looking for answers... 😢😢😢 At the end realize all they had to do was to let go and move on... This is what was implied to my after watching lost. And I loved the music so so so much.

[@Creamia]

I'm having a major breakdown over this song

[@amywechsel9448]

There are no coincidences. This makes me feel like nothing else.... I can play some piano. I’m an identical twin with a strong relationship I couldn’t bare the thought of losing.... yet being a psychic medium and having telepathy and strong knowledge from the other side I know that this was not the first lifetime nor the last we will have. My goal is to help as many people as possible connect with their loved ones on the other side and know that they’re not alone here. For whatever reason life and death I’m letting go and the songs call to me and have made me even more Who I am and more authentically who I will become on my path. So thank you, Paul Cardall. I’m sorry for your loss. I want you to know that you’ve done and given so much to so many in you’re a genuine authentic way . I thank you for the inspiration. I would love to share your music and story with all of the People Who I try to inspire.everyday.

[@thehomeofmemes]

Last time I heard this I was active duty.....and was about to kill myself. My NCO was horribly racist and was accusing me of things that weren't my fault, I was just diagnosed with cancer, my 12 month old just fell onto a hard concrete floor and hit his head, my friend's daughter was just killed at Sandy Hook, my wife was lying about what she wanted out of me as a husband.....as I sat on the floor of my closet, reverse grip on the XD40, I could see the tip of the round. I stared...and stared. I started to cry, not because I was feeling sorry for myself, but because I could hear my son in the other room. At that moment I knew that he needed me. He's 7 now....and has a little brother who's 3. I've been medically retired from the Army and I spend as much of my time with them as I can. Life can fucking suck.....but maybe you as a person can make a difference in another's....and that makes living worth it.

what part of lost is this from because I've been playing it over and over and can't figure it out, and it is bugging me like no other. I have a specific scene in my head that accompanies the main piano melody and i can't place it, SOMEONE HELP! =)

[@cardall]

Michael wrote this theme for each moment on LOST when someone dies.

Paul Cardall Indeed, that's where i remember this tune from....it moves my heart.

[@AbiRoseXx]

+Paul Cardall (Channel) it's actually also for whenever someone is born or survives near death, that's why it's called Life and Death, and that's also why it was played when Aaron was born

[@estevamantunes1059]

+Ryan Tepper Hi Ryan, my english isn´t so good, sorry about it. The most memorable scene off this song happens in the episode 20 of the first season, when Boone dies after fall of the single-engine that he and John Locke found in the woods while born the Claire´s son, and that's why the song´s name is Life and Death. I hope that I´ve helped you.
