katherine pierce true, he's the most sincere person I ever ''met'' too

[@ethelcore]

I saw this in my recommended and lost my breath because I thought he would never perform this song live, even in an intimate setting like this. I understand it's a personal song and it may be difficult for him to perform it. I'm beyond proud that he did it here, a day after my the 1975 concert haha. I've been having an bad day and this made me crack a smile. Thank you

[@mischatombal5926]

This is so pure and raw. His performance isn't perfect. But he delivers the emotion so fucking good! Love you Matty.

[@fidesemilia98]

you could acutally hear and see how close he was to cry but this is incredible, I am grateful that matty decided on performing this live and that he wanted to share this intimate song with his fans, this must mean a huge step for him that he must have overthought a lot, I love this song so much and it always meant a lot to me, as my father also died when I was 8 and I think not just me but a lot of fans can relate to what he sings about in this song, I would love to hear it live when I see them in february although I just wish matty performs it when he feels a hundred percent fine with that as it might leave him really depressed

[@Teresalein97]

i totally agree! i can not really relate to this song but i am glad that the song helps a lot of people like you to get through things that have happened! and i am also hoping to see them in feburary next year

[@darknesspeering7940]

I wish you'd walk in again Imagine if you just did I'd fill you in on the things you missed Oh sleepless nights, a grown up man dressed in white Who I thought might just save your life But he couldn't, so you died I don't like it, now you're dead It's not the same when I scratch my own head I haven't got the nails for it And I know that God doesn't exist And all of the palaver surrounding it But I like to think you hear me sometimes So I reached for a borrowed fleece From my dad or from Denise Always trying to keep warm, when you're the sun I sat with you beside your bed and cried For things that I wish I'd said You still had your nails red And if I live past 72, I hope I'm half as cool as you I got my pen and thought that I'd write A melody and line for you tonight I think that's how I make things feel alright Made in my room, this simple tune Will always keep me close to you The crowds will sing their voices ring And it's like you never left But I'm bereft you see I think you can tell I haven't been doing too well

[@alishaalizeh9736]

my grandma died this 2020 bcs of covid... and she just turned 74 this september 1st. the whole song itself is like retelling all of my experiences during the last few weeks. before, i listen to this song often bcs of the melancholic melody... i just love how beautiful the song is but the lyrics are just painful... i know that one day my grandma will pass away but it was too soon. i'm so close with my grandma, i grew up with her, she was a real mother to me and a friend. you don't know how much my grandma is kind and humble. me and my grandma likes to joke and mess around, it's like we're bestfriends. she's always patient with me and always wants best for me and my little siblings. i can never find another mother like her... if incarnation is real then i'd want her to be my mother in the next life. i hate to admit it but i'm bereft you see.

Mad props to Matty for being able to sing this live, in such an intimate setting and for having such control over his emotions and voice during the performance. He's quite a person. Very talented and brave for laying his emotions out in music the way he does.

[@nosidamregnis]

i couldn’t listen to this song fully since it came out.... because the thought of losing my grandmother was too much to bare. she passed almost a month ago, and i finally had the courage to listen to this song and it’s entirety. it made me cry i’ll admit. it destroyed me. but it also gave me this feeling of how i feel about her gone... like some kind of validation? like i feel it helps me cope. that someone else out there knows how i’m feeling. bc for the most part i’m just angry at the world for moving on... but this... this song gives me closure in a way. so thank you. i needed this song.

[@kianagarza3486]

i lost my grandma in august of 2020 due to complications of covid. she unfortunately passed away on my 20th birthday and it’s torn me up completely. she was my best friend and played a pivotal role in my upbringing. it’s been 10 months without her and i still feel so completely lost. everything about this song reminds me of my grandma. i remember when i was little, i’d go into her room and lay down beside her and i would lift my shirt till my tummy was exposed and she’d rub my tummy till i drifted off to sleep. we were inseparable.. i miss her more and more as the days go on. this song definitely resonates with me and will always remind me of my sweet grandma..❤️

[@asmeverything8332]

My grandma died in april because of covid…this song speaks volumes to me. I was very involved I. Her hospital care and spoke to many “men In white” I’m an atheist but I sometimes still talk to her because I like to think she can hear me. My dad took it hard and we’ve grown closer from this when we weren’t, my mil’s name is from Denise and she was a huge help during that time. She was 80 when she died but 72 when she was diagnosed with all her health problems which lead to covid being so deadly to her ….red was her favorite color. I literally ball every time I hear this.

My grandmother has dementia. I know its not the same as dying, but she really is a shell of her former self. She does not remember us despite the fact that she loved me and my brothers and mother so much and did so much for us. She used to scratch and play with my hair with her long nails. Whenever I hear this song, it makes me thing of her and who she used to be. She's still that person deep down, I know it.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris1137]

Love this song. This song hits differently now that I think about it and now that I'm older. I'm on the autism spectrum, so I at times have difficulty understanding the idea of grief or death sometimes, and I strangely am very stoic at funeral services. My Grandpa John died when I was 14 years old and in the 8th Grade, and when my brother was just 2 and my sister was 11, and my brother doesn't even know what Grandpa John looks like, because he was so young and because we didn't spend as much time with my paternal grandparents as we did my maternal grandparents, mainly because my paternal cousins were much much older than me and were often busy with their lives/careers, and my grandma had a load of health issues. My Grandma Helen died of cancer when I was 19, the day after Thanksgiving 2018. It was a few days before the birth of her first great-grandchild. It was during my sophomore year of college, and my sister was 16 years old and a Junior in High School and my brother was 7 years old and in the 3rd Grade. My Aunt Jean was with my Grandma during that time when we facetimed her for Thanksgiving and she was getting better, but the change was so sudden overnight as she watched movies with Jean and was getting better, and then she went to sleep and was discovered dead by my aunt. She was being treated for Bone Cancer, and then in the blink of an eye, she was gone. When we did the casket viewing, I was quite disturbed by her appearance in that casket...she didn't look anything like the Grandmother I knew, and then we had to sell the house that she had lived in for such a long time, and we also sold the records that she had owned over the past few decades, a quite lengthy collection. Dad was working on, at the time, getting my grandma's stuff ready to be sold away, and went to my grandma's house to unload those items. I didn't go with him, but I imagine my dad had a tough time with uncovering the things in the house that my Grandma had lived in with her husband since the mid 1990's, I believe. Now I am 22 years old, and I still sometimes feel guilt that I didn't get to spend as much time with my paternal grandparents as I feel I should have, and that my maternal grandparents are the only set of grandparents I had left, but they are quite healthy and fit for being 76 and 81 years old (that said sometimes I worry about them and I know their time will eventually come sooner than later), and that my memories of my paternal grandparents are so vague, which is why the line "All the things I wish I said" hits home for me. And in this stressful time, I often wish I could return to my childhood, when I had not a worry or care in the world or that we didn't have this fucking pandemic at all, and that I could have any more time to spend with my paternal grandparents, I would. I truly would.
