The last line was actually: Darkness exists to make light (not life) truly count. The message is basically the same. When we go through difficulties, we appreciate the beautiful things and life even more. Ryan O'Neal composes wonderful songs and many of his lyrics speak to me.

Sometimes we hear what we want/need to

Sleeping at Last is a musical project led by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan O'Neal. The project initially began in Wheaton, Illinois as a three-piece band with Ryan O'Neal as the lead singer and guitarist, his brother Chad O'Neal as the drummer, and Dan Perdue as the bassist.

Love seeing someone appreciate the lyrical and musical genius of Sleeping At Last. His songs are always so thoughtful and enriching. To me this is about a foster child who's mother died and father couldn't bear to raise her. And yet the child's life still matters and beauty can come from despair.

Just subscribed, because of your Sleeping at Last reactions. Saturn is my top fav song/video in life ever, and your reaction was very wholesome/human. Loved it, same as this reaction. Please, please, please also listen to Fear, Anger, and Atlas: Body ... Also by Sleeping at Last. Would love to see a reaction to any of those. Also thank you to Michael R. for introducing Sleeping at Last to another human.

He said in a concert that he dedicates the song Saturn to his mom so I think his mother died and he creates music for and about his mom...

I love this song and I love the message. I suppose what I took away from it is that maybe beauty is more resilient than the darkness and it thrives despite the uneven odds. I’m pushing back because I hate the idea that pain is what gives our lives meaning. I think it’s a lie and it ultimately excuses our indifference to suffering and pain that we experience or that we cause others to experience or that others experience. After all, isn’t it good for them? Let’s maximize suffering so everyone finds meaning in their lives. That just seems morally absurd to me. I’ve literally experienced what the child is going through in this song. And I can tell you that I was starting to truly understand and be grateful for my life until I lost my mother. I ran head first into it. And now, I don’t know what I believe. I feel more confused now than I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve lost faith in pretty much everything including myself. My life is not more meaningful. And I think it’s perfectly reasonable for people to find their lives meaningful without going through this much pain. Suffering and pain serve no purpose. There’s no reason to appreciate it, and there’s no reason to keep it around. If the goal of humanity isn’t to alleviate suffering but instead to be grateful for it, then I don’t know why the fuck I’m here or why I should care about anything. I’m not grateful that I lost my mother and I think I’d have to be a psychopath to be able to do that. Fuck that. All this to say that the point is that we’re resilient. We can be broken and still bring beauty into the world. We’re stubborn and we aren’t going to give up when tragedy strikes. And in fact, we can use tragedy to motivate and improve ourselves and others and that’s what gives us hope. But that hope is not that suffering will continue so that our lives will have meaning. That hope is that suffering will end eventually because we’ll have figured out everything. I hate suffering, I hate everything that happened to my mother and to me and to my family. I hate that it doesn’t just happen to me. Suffering and darkness need to be eradicated as fast as possible and to the greatest extent possible. We need to figure out how to reverse the storm or prevent it from ever happening in the first place. I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that whatever silver lining there is made what happened worth it and I’m never ever EVER going to be grateful. I have nothing but bitterness and hatred towards the fact that suffering and darkness exist. And I think anyone who doesn’t is morally insane.

I apologise that I can't afford to pay, but I'd dearly love to hear you react to 'Kathy's Song' by Simon and Garfunkel. Thank you for everything you do.
