Hey, here from Coffeehouse Crime. I'm glad he mentioned you. Love this song. Not only do I hear the pain, but I too feel like my life is on hard mode. I do everything in my power to stay the most positive in the room and try to see the light in everyone, but God keeps testing my sanity with trials and tribulations. Truly sorry for your loss. Christina was the light I try to be. Stay well and I hope you glow up!

@@StephenRezzaOfficial I'm sorry for your loss. I wish I met Christina and got as close to her as you did in life 💚

[@seechao]

@@StephenRezzaOfficial sending so much love right back at you dude. I barely know you, but I can feel you out there. I can feel your pain through your art and I am with you in spirit. If I could, I would try to help you carry your grief. In strength there is immense power, power in honor of life and love. You have all of that. ❤ I feel you. And I have love for you, your family, and your collective legacy. A legacy not of tragedy, but of the strength and resilience of how incredible people respond after tragedy strikes. ALL of you, have that shared legacy of being incredible people who learned from EACH OTHER how to overcome hardship with love, which will be something that you always have uniting you... No matter how much distance or time has elapse between you all. Godspeed, stay strong, keep creating and manifesting that legacy. There is so much beauty and strength that came from other incredible people that went into you becoming the person who you are, not your public ego, but the personal YOU. I know you know that. ❤

[@ZynaKanmuri]

Hey Stephen, when I first listened to this song I cried. It hurts me being a long time Christina Grimmie fan knowing that she is gone but, your words spoke great measures to me. I was born 1lb and 1oz, I had a 50/50 percent chance of living but here I am sharing my story with you. My life was put on "Hard Mode" from day one. This is God testing me to see how well I will do in life. I believe that Christina and Tina are watching over all of us and protecting all of us in Team Grimmie. Christina is always with you, my dude. You, and of course myself should never forget that. I had the blessing to finally meet you in March 2020 at the CVG East Coast event. I believe Christina made that dream come true for me because she knows how much you and I talked on Snapchat for the longest time. Your music along with Christina's are my most favorite. Whenever I see you release a new song I buy it on iTunes in a heartbeat. Thank you and of course Christina for being my two biggest inspirations. I love you and Christina dearly. God Bless!

[@StephenRezzaOfficial]

Kiara, I got so much love for you! This song was written for warriors like you. We aren't always dealt the best hands in life but thats because God knows that we can still succeed with the hands he deals us. It was an honor meeting you at the Jersey event & getting to know you & your family! You guys are the best. Thank you for being so committed to expanding Christina's legacy. Have a Happy Easter Sunday & stay safe! #CGforever

[@ZynaKanmuri]

@@StephenRezzaOfficial I got so much love for ya too! Thank you for calling me a warrior, that means a lot to me. I do believe that I'm alive for a greater purpose. I don't know what that may be but, maybe one day I will find out. I agree that we aren't always dealt with the best hands but, God tries to help us in every way that he possibly can. It was an honor to finally meet ya too! You're so kind and so caring! That's why I look up to you and Christina as well because you guys are kind souls who are inspired by God to put out beautiful music for everyone to hear, and to inspire people. Each song has a message that the artist wants the listener to hear because they speak from the heart. Thank you so much, Stephen. I hope you had an amazing Easter! Stay safe and God Bless!

[@muzikgurl10]

[@missingaria2503]

I'm another that got sent here by Coffeehouse Crime. I'm so sorry that I've been sleeping on you as an artist all these years, your songs and voice carry so much emotion that reach the soul. You've got another follower now and I will be listening to your songs alongside Christina's. The world may not deserve her, but you did. And I know, from the love that comes across in your music, that you made her life better by being in it. You are both beautiful lights in the darkness and I hope, when it gets hard, that you can still see hers.

So much love to you dude, man this made me cry 💚💚💚 I know Christina is watching over you & is so proud of you. This song has been resonating with me... been in the mindset for a long time that God has put life in a “hard mode” for me... mom’s been battling stage 4 cancer the past almost 3 years and that’s just been a rough place. And then last summer I lost my best friend /loml to an accidental overdose. But God knows what He’s doing with our pain. Just gotta trust He’ll keep holding us together 💛

[@StephenRezzaOfficial]

Your comment made me tear up, my friend. Sending you all the love in my heart right now. Prayers for your mother's battle with cancer. This song was written for warriors like you. We will get through our tribulations. God dealt us these hands for a reason, we might not know why but we know there is a plan. Always here to talk if you need someone. You are never alone.

[@rughsean]

This song has to be one of the most realistic songs ever. The whole world lost her, we almost lost you. A song like this makes you really think about everything in a nutshell. We all have a purpose, most of us take life for granted without even realizing who put us here. I was searching KZbin back in 2016 for a cover of "Somebody I used to love" so I could find the best acoustic version to learn. Came across Christina's version and was immediately glued. Then after a few videos and reading comments, I realized she was killed two days before. I was outside of my body.... Thank you for the amazing music... Please keep it coming! I myself am a musician, producer. Running a studio out of my home and I am grateful to our lord and Savior for being in this world at the same time as you man. "With love" keep on keeping on. 😎😎😎😎
