[@creative2716]

Don't you eat the forbidden fruit.

[@karinasarfo]

I always heard: "dont you eat of the bitter fruit", wich I find appropriate both because we seem to love drama and bitterness as a generation(s), and since what we find bitter change from person to person. As it should ❤️ All love matter in this world we live ln.

[@otorishingen8600]

I listened to this song with my mom who had dementia and has lost 4 kids in her life - it calmed her down when she got confused and afraid..we cried together and then I gave her a kiss and she smiled ☺️ Miss you mom 🤗

Given that - the people that like this song versus those that don't - take heart - is positively reflecting Tracy's talent. I don't feel sorry for humanity for this reason but for many others.

That freedom is what 315 people hate about her and there are more out there of like minded. But freedom is to be able to say No when the rest of the world want to hear you say Yes.
