[@lyndadelmonaco7928]

This is the kind of happening that makes you glad to be alive, not to mention glad to be living and commuting in the city. I only rode the rails for three years in the mid-90's from the Village to Bed-Sty via the L to the G and off at Classon Ave. to teach second graders that the alphabet mattered and that the written word is powerful. I'm blessed for having been a part of the cycle of the city...the cycle of the city. An appreciation for life that has never left me, and a love for the students who ruined me for any other population. I've just retired after working in Peekskill, NY for 23 years...a collective 30. The song is MY "intro" into another chapter of life.

[@knoopi74]

I would regret to step out boss im sry its gonna be an hour later :D

[@j.adanherrera1800]

I think its the notes, the chords chosen and chord progression that resulted in such a powerful melody, it does not have lyrics, there is not a voice singing but it doesn't need one, this song its deep and joyous, spiritual and emotional, it moves you and makes you feel things. It speaks to your heart. Doesn't matter if it's played with a beat up guitar on a subway car. All other noise vanishes. It's the power of MUSIC!

[@GhostlyDilemma]

The best songs don't need a voice...they are strong enough on their own

Não tentar achar sentido nas coisas... apenas... brincar, encontrar a felicidade na coisa mais estúpida. Agora tenho 19 anos, estou em um emprego "regular", mas que é preciso. Também estou tentando me entender, entender os outros... engraçado: há 12 anos atrás eu achava que já tinha um propósito. É. Eu cresci!

Amigo, eu com fucking 14 anos já estava passando por problemas, uma grande pressão mental, sabe? Hoje já estou com 17 anos, e justamente nesse ano já faço 18. Tudo tem sido ruim pra mim, mas nesse exato momento de pandemia, tentei focar ao máximo no auto conhecimento. Quebrando muito a cabeça com auto reflexão, até entender que não se precisa quebrar a cabeça com nada pois você já tem tudo dentro de si. A inocência da criança fica um pouco mais fluída novamente. Uma criança não procura sentido nas coisas, então pra que se preocupar com coisas que não importam e que não fazem sentido?. E pra ser bem sincero cara... no mundo materialistico eu estou completamente vazio. So tenho um amigo de todas os conhecidos, minha base familiar não é boa, problemas com meu pai, sem nenhuma amizade feminina, condições ruim e tudo mais... mas pra que se preocupar com isso? Você tem uma escolha e eu prefiro não quebrar mais a cabeça com isso. Era só isso amigo. só um insight mesmo aqui (:

Temos que ter força, temos que amar a verdade! Há dificuldades... mas olhar para o problema é a fase inicial, por isso, não fazer nada impedirá seu progresso. Viver... quem disse que viver é fácil, mesmo?! Olha, me considero como sendo agnóstico, tenho muito medo de morrer, não quero desistir, jamais!!!

NEVER EVER stop fighting for your inner person or emotional mind. HEAL yourself through small tiny but persistant actions, keep driving, keep pushing, through pain, suffering, loss, even if you have no hope, no car, no life, no self worth......keep on.....even if it hurts, no one is comming to save you....because you are worth saving yourself, YOU are worth your own time, your own love.
