Thank you, Brian and Carly, for having the courage to address something that has been underlying the Christmas season for many years. People are sad this time of year. Why? As you shared, loved ones are no longer here to celebrate with us. There's more, however. Relationships have broken up. People have lost their jobs. The suicide rate goes sky-high during the Christmas period. How many 10's of 1000's have to force a smile during this season? Jesus humbly came down to a broken and tragedy-filled world so that He could dry our tears, lift up our heads, comfort our hearts, soothe and heal our pain, restore our soul, and even forgive us for the stupid things we've done. Him having done so much, could we just drop the "you-have-to-be-happy-to-come-to-my-house-party", and be more like Jesus -- comforting the sad, holding the hurting, praying for all those who need it, instead of scolding them for not having the "right Christmas spirit"? Thanks again, Brian and Carly.

Thankyou brother Brian. This is the most appropriate song for Christmas Ive ever heard. I weep listening to it All those I love so much have turned away from me or left earth. The paradox is I hear His heart coming through. Beautiful song inspired by Him no doubt. I was given your album Isnt He in 2006 when I was born again. It has helped my soul bless The Lord countless times. I look forward to giving you a huge hug at the wedding feast if not before. Thankyou both. Carly too. God Bless you.

I remember what that felt like when it was our first Christmas without my mother - hopefully there is a safe place where it's OK for you to be sad. We all go through seasons when the waves of grief are a lot for us to handle on our own.

This song is so depressing. My sweet daddy died this year.i miss him terribly. But dad would want me to love on those around me and be joyful and grateful that Jesus came to redeem us. Though my heart is sad, I have underlying joy because of my savior. There is hope. This song gives no hope.

I wasn't going to respond, but I feel like I need to (I'm Luke by the way - I filmed this video) I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know what it's like to lose a parent, and I can only imagine how heartbreaking it will be when that day comes. Art is a funny and beautiful thing because when something is created in vulnerability and honesty, it extends an opportunity for the receiver to do the same. Brian and I have a deep fondness for the laments in the Psalms, something quite often neglected in our Western church culture. When Brian showed me this song back in 2019, it allowed me to grieve for the loss of my friends, recognizing that I would no longer see their faces around the holidays and that it was okay to be sad about that. I think of Jesus weeping throughout the Bible, both weeping for his friends and in the garden, and I wonder if he felt... dare I say... hopeless? If our own Saviour felt hopeless sometimes, maybe it's ok for us to admit when we feel hopeless too.
