[@pacman_birthmark]

This was the moment when you finally realised you couldn't save Arthur. I was heartbroken. Do you know what made things even worse? I was riding Buell... 😞

[@randomguy8yearsago613]

same story brother

[@J_Rossi]

"What's the meaning of the scar if we don't learn how to heal?" One of the most powerful and reflective lyrical lines I've heard in over four decades of living. Great vocals and instrumentation. I feel like Daniel Lanois would be proud of this. Well done. *In my best Arthur Morgan voice* "You done real good, boy."

[@brandoncorynagley92388]

100 percent agree that's the most powerful set of lines and truth..

[@alaedinekibris]

❤

[@idewamadebaguskasumajaya8254]

tha's deep....

[@izikgarza1068]

I dont understand it because scaring is the result of healing. So you must’ve learned to heal if there is a scar

[@J_Rossi]

@@izikgarza1068 I take it and interpret the line to mean that unless we learn how to heal our heart and emotions with time.... a scar is nothing but a reminder of a wound.

[@lukeg7517]

I just had to end a seven-year relationship with a girl I was very very close with, I'm sitting here listening to this song and in tears sing along saying goodbye in my own way, it also doesn't help that I'm also remembering Arthur's last ride and him dying in the game which is making me cry twice as hard..... You did this song beautifully, thank you😢

[@rbdaluz]

I'm at this exact moment... End of a seven-year relationship, can't see anything ahead.... please, answer me, did things get any better? Is there any meaning in this?

[@lukeg7517]

​​@@rbdaluz first of all, let me Express how sorry I am that this happened to you, I know your pain is great and it feels like your entire world is shattering. I don't know what your circumstances are but the two most important things that I could tell you right now is allow yourself to grieve. Grieve for as long as you need to, and no matter what it takes, nothing comes before your peace of mind. Whatever you have to do to achieve that, start going to the gym, read some books, go for walks in nature, whatever you have to do. No matter how deep the pain, once you allow yourself to get through it and process it it does go away. It did for me, I just had to give myself time, for me personally it took four months of grieving and about another three months to build myself back up, there's no shame in taking a fall, it's when you decide to stay on the ground that becomes a problem, even if it takes you a few months to get back on your feet, just make sure you get up.... PERIOD!! Hope my words help brother

[@jeremiahsmith1070]

Thank you for this excellent cover. I'm dealing with second round of stage IV cancer, and when I'm feeling really low, this song soothes me. Keep up the great work.

I haven't played the Red Dead series, but I've heard almost every OST the series has and I'm seriously thinking about giving it a try.

The fact that I can't get myself to replay this game even tho I love it, just because it hurts too much emotionally to know how Arthur's story ends must be one of the biggest achievements in storytelling.

Arthur's story is no doubt the best I ever witnessed in any movie, series, book or video game. And it seems I wasn't the only one, who had tears in his eyes at several different occasions throughout the game, but like 5 times alone in that finale in chapter 6 and this song always gets me. Great interpretation of it too, what an amazing voice!

When I listen to this song, the first thing that comes to mind is our beloved Arthur. Perhaps one of the most successful characters of an era. An era in which even video games have matured to such an extent that they arouse emotions in 'grown-ups'. We can say that games like this are true 'works of art'. I'm 31 years old and I'm not ashamed to say that every time I see that "last ride" scene again I cry a lot, and that's where I consider RDR2 a true masterpiece, on par with an Oscar-winning film. Arthur always in my heart. And if you too are here in 2023 listening to this song you can understand me. Arthur always in my heart ❤️ A Merry Christmas to all 🥂 and beware of those who always pull a "plan" out of the hat 😅
