this is the kind of song that is played at the end of a movie that makes you question everything about the movie and then you start thinking about your life and you're having deep thoughts making up hypotheticals of what could have been and then you try to rationalize who you are as a human being (or not a human being i don't know your situation). that's what this song made me feel.

[@darling5694]

I can’t tell you how nervous I actually was. It was a usual Friday afternoon, my high school scheduling a football game and a dance in the gymnasium afterward. My hair was up, make up finished, cute dress on, and heels to match. I thought I had overdone it, already done paying at the admission stand to get in while looking for my friends and that specific boy in mind. My mind was racing a mile a minute, but it shouldn’t have. I mean; I was already comfortable and dating this dork; so why exactly did my heart race like it was going to burst out of my chest? And then, I saw him. All those worries of ‘what if I overdid this?’, ‘does this dress suit me?’, ‘will he like my make up?’ disappeared as soon as I saw him wave me over, smile that adorable smile of his, and get me sat down to watch the game by him. The first thing he said to me? “You look amazing!” I can’t tell you how the game was going because honestly, I didn’t pay any attention to it. I was far too fixated on this cutie who was currently cracking jokes and goofing off with his bandmates to care about whether or not my hometown team was winning against our rivals. The game finished up, we headed down off of the bleachers and towards the gymnasium. Our English teacher was there, the look on her face to see us there nonetheless than joyful. She’d suspected we were together before either of us had even made a move on one another- it was no surprise she probably has a third eye for potential ‘what if’s?’. We headed inside. The lights were dimmed, there was a DJ, our friends greeted us and we all talked amongst ourselves for a bit of time. Soon after, I was entertained enough by the balloons decorating the gym floor, picking up one and tossing it into the air. Before I could even bop it back up into the air once more, he caught it, of course. The disadvantages of being a small girlfriend- but an advantage for my tall boyfriend. He smirked, raised the balloon over his head and teased me to get it back. I laughed, stood on my toes and did my utmost best to get that balloon back as if it depended on my life. Finally, I took a step back in that dimly lit gym and looked at him. Those hazel-green eyes of his held so much happiness, his smile was brighter than any of the stars and moon that shone that night. We both just took those few milliseconds to stare at one another. And then I realized I could hear my heartbeat; it was racing as wildly as ever. In those few moments I knew I’d fallen in love with him right then and there. We didn’t dance much at all, instead opting to sit on the bleachers provided and hold hands while sharing shy smiles and adoring laughter. Some might regret not dancing, but I don’t at all. Sitting there, I felt as if we had all the privacy we needed to sit close to one another and talk. Starting off as just some friends on the playground in Elementary, losing contact in middle school, rekindling a friendship once more in high school freshman year, and having the fateful chance of walking together down the halls to go to our shared History class together, we’d grown so much. Last night, at 1 in the morning, we talked about how we’re going to get married in the few upcoming years and what baby names we adored. He’s my boyfriend of nearly 3 years now; he’s my soulmate and my other half. I won’t be giving him up for as long as I can keep him. Here’s hoping I get to walk down the aisle to see his loving face, wake up every morning to see our children giggling and playing, slow dance in the living room at three in the morning with the night sky as our audience and a delicate hum on both of our lips while we hold each other close, grow grey-haired and wrinkles around our eyes because we couldn’t help but smile seeing the other in our younger days. I love you to the moon and back, Tristen. Thank you for showing me how love is really meant to be.

This song feels like the dreamlike state you enter after something terrible happens. You try so hard to pretend it didn't happen. You create this perfect world in your mind and just stay there. You start to notice small things out of place but you push them aside to try and keep the fantasy alive. You're terrified of talking to your friends and family coz you're afraid that they'll break it. But eventually, the reality of it gets too much for you and you have to wake up.

I’m 18 and for the past year + (updated due to me finally finding my previous documentation) I’ve been worried out of my mind that something is wrong with my health. My doctor turned me away the first time. I got a second opinion, they were concerned and are referring me to get tests done anytime soon. Nobody really knows how afraid I am. I’m terrified. I want to sob. I just want to be pain free and okay. I’ve turned to music for comfort and this one has been stuck on my mind lately. Thank you Ricky and the Honeysticks for setting my mind at ease for a little bit Update 1-11-23: today I got an ultrasound done. The woman who attended me was extremely kind. It was comforting. I’ll soon get my results. A part of me thinks that it’s going to be nothing. In one way that would be good because that’s great for my health, but in another way I’m anxious. Because if it’s nothing then what I feel will remain unlabeled. I don’t want to seem like I’m making it up. Let’s see how it goes. Update 1-13-23: the estimated date for me to get my results was 1/18 but I got a call today that they want to see me on 1/16. I’m nervous. The days are going by so fast.

I remember feeling alive when I first heard this song. It was a bitter cold day, cloudy, and with small pockets of rain here and there. This really special girl I knew showed me this song. It was on the bus ride back home from school. I remember the exact stretch of road, exact time, what the worn out leather bus seats felt like, and how the rain sung its own melody through the windows. I’d say around 2:28 I happened to look at her as she silently sung along. That exact moment was when my stomach and chest realized what I hadn’t. It was that this person was going to be something special to me. In hindsight, she really did live up to that. However, I never really told her how much she meant to me, or even now, how much she still does. I see it as selfish if I were to tell her now how both sorry and grateful I am. Even so I’ll take my chances. If you happen to see this J, I intend on keeping my promises. I’m trying to be someone you would’ve been proud of. Oh and please, please never stop creating your art. The small pieces of art I have of yours are small doodles but they bring me so much somber happiness. Thank you for everything. I’m sorry for everything.

This song reminding me of my first and only love that went on for seven years with my best friend. And yeah, I still do love him, it’s just that we don’t talk anymore. I wonder what the hell went wrong. We went from visiting each other hours on end, talking about anything we wanted every single day, and becoming each other’s favorite people, to constantly avoiding each other because of one stupid fight, and pretending those precious years we spent with each other never happened. Yeah I want to go up to him but for some reason I can’t. If only I had the courage to speak to him. It’s been almost two years since we last talked and my heart still aches. We promised each other that’d we’d be together forever. I know that sounds corny but I really thought that would happen. I guess everyone was right, promises exist to be broken.

I'm sorry that happened to you. at the very least, I hope that you can grow around this loss, and eventually accept it as part of your life; something good that happened, but is over now and you are better for it.

guys. this song is perfect. everything about it. from the stinging of the trailing words, to the desperate longing feeling that i get from it. what am i longing for? what am i so desperate to grasp? whatever it is, i can’t grab it. i can only take slowly from it whenever i listen. and it’s such a rewarding experience. i didn’t even do anything. the second version made my best friend cry during class. she was astonished just as i am right now. the belt on ‘all lonely nights’ kills me. the guitar chords murder me, and finally, the bass and drums of the song form a dagger which pierces my back. thank you so much for this.

this song is so ballad-y i love 3/4 time, it makes me wanna slow dance alone in the center of a ballroom, it just makes you sway as it tugs on your heartstrings in the best way possible.

[@Jimmusicpersonal]

all sad songs are 6/8, think about it, Put your head on my shoulder, Mr. Loverman. Line Without a Hook, Fin (by Mustard Service), 6/8 just hits different

[@user-sk2zw6js1m]

i feel like this song deserves recognition but at the same time, i feel like it should be where it is at.

[@landrysaul5938]

i heard this song for the first time at a concert w ricky montgomery and cavetown, I was with my then childhood boyfriend and high school sweetheart. it was a bittersweet time. it still hurts to listen to and its been months since we broke up. its crazy how music can just bring you back

I cannot get over this song. the vocals and the guitar and just the whole vibe of it, its beautiful. I love it.

[@me-mi9xf]

i love how this song is written in 6/8 instead of 4/4

[@serene1486]

I've never been in love in my life, I've never had someone who fell in love with me my whole life, 20years I'm still alone wandering and never experienced love or affection from someone who will loved me for who I am, I envy my friends who are pretty, went out go on dates, in relationship, treated dearly and loved by someone, but I guess things are just fine I'd still wait a little while longer to experience it, I almost thought that I'm not a loveable person that I can't love someone, but then I found this song.. and listening to it felt like I'm in love with someone cheering my fellow lonely people out there!! you're not alone I'm with you! ❤

[@MostLikelyDani]

To My friend who showed me this song, Thank You. I can Cry in peace to music again.

[@ronir8176]

my heart has goosebumps

[@sillylilychillybilly]

this song is so good its insane

[@freakmaster500]

this song feels like having your heart broken by the person you love the most but you just can't let them know. you never told them you loved them and they had already moved on but you're stuck. you want them but you can't have them. you missed your chance and now you suffer in silence because of it

[@froge738]

i realise now that i relate to this song more than i have before i first found this song 3 years ago, i used it to cry everything out, i always felt better afterwards until a point where i let go, i attempted, landed in the mental hospital, singing this song was the only way to keep my sanity my mental health improved when i got out, 2 years later i get married, my husband works night shift now im spending my nights with the lights on yet nobodys home, with no kiss goodnight, its lonely i love him, but i feel so so alone every night its affected my mental health negatively, along with my hormonal imbalance from pregnancy, i get very irritable, we've had some arguments his parents don't want to respect that i don't want visitors in the hospital did they always seem to hate me, im sicker every day and now all i talk about is my firstborn, like this is my entire identity now, who i once was is going to die very soon i dont want to lose myself, it makes me want to just be on my own for the rest of my life but i dont want to leave, ill never leave im sorry for this weird hard-to-understand rant im just not in a great place right now

[@jadenenvy]

this is one of those songs that you play and it feels like it's only 2 minutes long so you just replay it and replay it over and over again till you realize it's been 2 hours

[@hazallorde1065]

yes, this song is blue but at the same time, it gives me peace. such an incredible song. i'm speechless.

[@zezeNice]

this needs to be played in a movie

[@2002tigre]

godbless you Ricky

[@isabellacastellanos8566]

gorgeous!!! amazing!!! love this so much!

[@deftd0ll99]

Just wanted y’all to know that I found this song maybe 3 years ago, and I found it from this boy. Of course, by starting this off with “this boy”, i’m sure you have an idea of where this is going. So yes, I caught feelings for him. But it was fast. Incredibly, and dangerously fast. I wasn’t too sure what it was, but when looking back at it.... I was falling in love. I met up with him one Wednesday in July, 2018. We’ve been good friends for a couple months now- and we never really got to see each other since he went to a different school in our area. We met up at the park. He lived out in the country- and I lived in town. We both didn’t have our drivers license since we were so young, so I walked as he rode his bike there for maybe 6 to 8 miles (damn). I remember walking up to him- with this song playing in my earbuds to calm me down. He looked up. His eyes were piercing, electric blue and sleep deprived. Brown curly cue hair and the cutest button nose you’ll ever see in your life. We just sat there at the red bench- talking. For hours. Then as the summer continued, I didn’t think he liked me back, so I distanced myself with the intention of protecting my heart. I was gone for a couple months. Once I was healed enough, me and this boy returned to being friends in maybe September of 2018. And we were, we were great friends.... when I was in a relationship. If I wasn’t, I acted as if I was his- and honestly, he acted as if he was mine. He’d call me pretty and say he missed me, and i’d call him cute and say I missed him too. We’d go out to football games and he’d bring a blanket to keep me warm, and his puppy to give me extra company. We would sit at the top left corner of the bleachers, and under the warm sunset glow I swear to god- I’ve never seen something more beautiful than him. We also went to the town fair together around May, 2019. He was too scared to go on the “scary” rides, so we just ended up walking to the grade school park (since it’s away from civilization). The sun was setting and it was getting dark- and we cuddled at yet another red bench as the moons glow blanketed over us. He said if I could tell him how the eclipse works- he’d love me endlessly. I knew he wasn’t being all too serious, but for some reason I remembered that exact moment really well. But of course, we were busy people- and we never ever officially dated. We didn’t meet up much but when we did it was like magic, every. single. time. It’s been maybe a little bit more than two years and a half now- going on three years of this on and off nonsense. It was my birthday, November 29th. And you know what I wanted? I wanted to see him. And I did. He had his drivers license now, so we went to see a movie. He brought a blanket (again? how sweet), and one of his hoodies with his last name printed on the back. The theatre had those chairs that you could recline- and we sat in the back. It was late, maybe 9 o’clock if i’m thinking correctly, so I was a lil tired. I laid on top of him, and he held me like it was the last time he ever would. Then he started to do this thing where he’d press his face against mine. We were whispering back and forth about how much we “hated” each other. With our lips slightly brushing up against eachother, I felt the tension. Those small breaks in between our sentences began to grow longer, so we were just laying there. Face to face, lips slightly parted. So I whispered back- “just do it”. He responded with “what?” and I only persisted- “just, do it”. “oh.” and then- we kissed. It only took two years- but we kissed. And then that was our thing. For that day, at least. As he dropped me off at my house- the last thing he did was kiss me. I kept his hoodie and this song was on repeat for hours that night. And then within only a week, we didn’t speak to each other again. And that’s when I realized, no matter how much we wish or hope, some stories just don’t have happy endings.

[@mahrukhhh]

noooo :( maybe you'll meet again??

[@itsmemarlene]

Wow I'm actually in tears

[@gilbert607]

holy crap that was a ride... I've had a similar experience, but I've already done my long rant on another youtube video... You're absolutely right... In fact, I'd argue that almost no stories have happy endings. However, it doesn't sound like yours is exactly over unless you want it to be. You said that you've gone a few months without speaking.. Maybe this is just another those? But like I said, it's only over if you want it to be. Unless something else has transpired within the last two months of you writing this comment. Maybe he made up a bunch of excuses as to why he's not ready for a relationship, but you knew that he was lying and got her to admit that she doesn't like you anymore despite leading you on for 5 months..? lol yeah that's what happened to me...

[@jareli8089]

your love life was like a season, doesnt mean itll be just 1 season forever. hope season 2 you guys meet again :)

[@novasummer7976]

in 10 years you're going to look back and regret it, so much so that you cry every night, the way his eyes pierced through your soul, how he made you feel, you'll regret not giving it a fair shot, but I understand ur decision, if you try and it doesn't work out your relationship is forever lost, its easier to keep it this way, avoid the pain......

[@user-du5bg4ld1m]

Rest here, dear Sir. Whether you're currently falling in, falling out, or just simply remembering your love life. It never easy, but some day, it will be worth all the struggles.

[@kristinab3868]

This song is my everything. Thank you so much guys for this amazing masterpiece.

[@mariamhany1533]

This song could have been played during the tunnel scene in Perks of Being a Wallflower. It makes us all feel infinite.

[@tabea3272]

i guess most people think of this as a song that describes the ending of a long relationship, when the candle‘s blown, „out like a light“, but to me it feels like having to keep all your love for someone inside you, because it‘s not your place to give it to them. it‘s someone else‘s place. it feels like having to put the love „out like a light“ because you don‘t wanna give it to anyone but that one person. so you „spend your lonely nights, out like a light“ trying to make the love in you leave but it‘s way too much. and if only i didn‘t have to ban the love for her from my heart, i would give her the moon. i‘d grab every single star from the sky and wrap every single one of it with a note and a flower and give it to her. i‘d take pictures of every single beautiful sunset and print them out for her. i‘d pick every single flower and bring it to her. i’d take her to the prettiest beaches she could have ever seen. i‘d let the light finally reach her, without having to put it out. this song feels like waiting for a lovestory, that you know will never start. so you wait and wait, having all those ideas in your mind, trying to hold them back.

This gives me the vibes that your gazing upon a night sky, laying down on the grass, and listening to this with your headphones. And feeling the wind as you close your eyes..

It was a thursday and i had a day worse than i have ever remembered. When i got there he was there waiting for me. My day suddenly got better and the edges of my mouth raised as i smiled. This song played in my head as i ran into his arms. Into his soft and endless security. It was peaceful... And ending. All i can remember is that mere 20 seconds that felt like a whole 20 years. My mind never stopped thinking of him, even years after this moment. I never forgot that moment. That moment and the boy who was taken from me. From the world. From our moment.

[@Marina-pe1gx]

I can't believe it. I have been trying to find this since 2017 and I didn't remember the name of the song, any of the lyrics or the artist. Only how it made me feel. And I tried looking for it in the most stupid ways. FINALLY. Thank you Spotify!
