JUST LIKE THAT
(Bonnie Raitt)
I watched him circle round the block,
Finally stopped at mine
Took a while before he knocked,
Like all he had was time
Excuse me, ma’am, maybe you can help,
The directions weren't so clear
I'm looking for Olivia Zand
They said I might find her here
I looked real hard and asked him
What she's got he's looking for?
Said there's somethin’ I think she’d want to know,
And I let him in the door
It’s not like me to trust so quick
Caught me by surprise
But somethin’ about him gave me ease
Right there in his eyes
And just like that your life can change.
If I hadn't looked away,
My boy might still be with me now,
He'd be 25 today
No knife can carve away the stain
No drink can drown regret
They say Jesus brings you peace and grace
Well he ain't found me yet
He sat down and took a deeper breath
Then looked right in my face
I heard about the son you lost,
How you left without a trace
I've spent years just trying to find you
So I could finally let you know
It was your son's heart that saved me
And a life you gave us both
And just like that your life can change
Look what the angels send
I lay my head upon his chest
And I was with my boy again
I spent so long in darkness,
Never thought the night would end
But somehow grace has found me
And I had to let him in

I lost my only child on Jan. 22, 2019. On that day he became a Hero to four persons. One has his first name/kidney, one has his Last name as her maiden name/kidney and the other two-his liver/heart has his wonderful funny personality. We are a family bought together by grief but stick together by love.

I received a call this morning from a friend who read your story on Facebook. Through her tears she said you knew my story. While the details are different, the story is the same. My son, Sam, died in a motorcycle accident in July of 2019 at the age of 22. Aside from traumatic brain injury, he was otherwise perfect. Sam had already chosen to be an organ donor… It was now our responsibility to walk it out. Friends and family were able to gather in his hospital room to share memories, to laugh, and to cry. Sam saved four lives with his organs… and countless more with tissue, nerve, tendon and bone donations. His gifts of life keep his life present in mine. I was able to meet Sam’s heart recipient last July… and hear his heart beating inside Jeff’s chest. Sam’s heart is strong and my mama heart is a little less broken. Thank you for this beautiful song, Bonnie. You are making a difference. ♥️

I went to your concert when you came to St. Louis with a dear friend and you play the song about being an organ donor. I am lucky enough to be an organ recipient and I can’t think my donors family enough for the five years I have had so far with my transplanted kidney. I have had extra time with my daughter, my grandchildren and to be able to attend several of my nieces and nephews weddings. I got to have extra time with my dad before he passed and he was grateful that I was able to get a kidney. He at 93 had even considered trying to see if he could donate his kidney to me, I was 67. Thank you for your words. Thank you for the song.

Dear Bonnie, a few years ago my wife and I watched you open for James Taylor in Baton Rouge. We were mesmerized by your performance and became instant fans. My 18 year old son died on November 1, 2022, and when he was on life support we learned that he was an organ donor. Shortly after his death, Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac passed and I started to listen to her music again. Rumors has always been one of my favorite records. I ran across the song “Songbird” and cried as I listened to it imagining my son in heaven. The Monday after the Grammys, my wife told me that you performed “Songbird”. I couldn’t believe it. I went online looking for your performance, and I saw the headline that you won song of the year. I downloaded, “Just Like That”, and I openly wept as I listened to the words. I think I cried for over an hour. It was as if you wrote the song just for me and my wife. Miraculously, the same evening, I opened a letter written by a 55 year old man letting us know that he was the recipient of my son’s heart, and that he wants to meet me and my family to thank us for giving him a second chance at life. “Just like that my life changed. Look what the angels sent. Grace knocked on our door, and we let him in” Thank you Bonnie. I wish there was a way we could meet you in person to let you know how deeply moved we are by your song. As an update to my above post. My wife an I are approaching the one year anniversary of our son's death, Nov 1. We will be meeting his heart recipient in person on that day. We are so looking forward to meeting the man who received a second chance at life, even though, we will be grieving for our loss at the same time.

It’s hard to describe or articulate the magnitude of the decision for the donor, donor family, recipient, and recipients family. It’s instantly an act of grace, love, good will, and gratitude toward all. If it wasn’t for the donor, there would be no future life. If it wasn’t for the recipient, there would be no story of grace or its heartfelt journey ❤

Amen! My son Passed away at 28. 3 years ago. Brain bleed. Flew him to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. Covid had all the beds full here. After 3 day's on life support. It was time to let Robert go to be with Jesus. They asked my family about organ donation. At first was mad. I was in shock. His mom, my wife passed 7 years ago. Vanderbilt is a wonderful place. For Nuro. They talked to my family, and my younger son. After 2 hours. We said okay. I prayed about it. Robert would want that. He was a very kind, giving, Christian young man. Had a beautiful voice. My brother was with him, as he took his last breath. I was with him, when he took his first breath. I couldn't do it. My brother and sister- in- law. Stayed with. Him I have a wonderful family and brother. They asked me to write on a card. Tell us about Robert. Then, asked two of his favorite songs. America Trilogy, How Great Thou Art. Elvis singing . He loved Elvis Presley. After they finished there work. The doctors and Nurses lined both sides of the hallway. As rolled him down. The Honor Hallway.. a grandmother received one of his kidneys. We keep in touch. It saved her life. Then I received another letter from Tennessee Donor. Another wanted to contact us. I am writing a letter, telling her about Robert. He loved his Lord and his church. During Covid, 140 people came. Found out he did things for people, I didn't know he had done. Hope to go to North Carolina this summer to visit her. My son, gave her a se m A second chance, to be with her family. I can't wait to hug her. So glad we did this. My son is wirh Jesus and his mom. I will see them both again. God bless you each on here. I miss Robert, so much. My family too. Robert Marshall Flack. Our hero. God speed my precious son. ❤❤

My brother received a donor heart 3 years ago, and we are thankful every day for the family who gave him life with their generosity. He has been in touch with the family through letters, but has never had the chance to let the donor's wife hear her husband's beating heart bring life back to us. Without that heart, we are sure our brother would no longer be with us. Bonnie, you and your music have been a guiding light in my life. I saw you sing at several benefit concerts in the 70s and 80s and felt an immediate connection. This SOTY award is just one more wonderful thing you deserve. Keep up the great music for all of us.

God bless you for this beautiful song. My husband received a life saving liver transplant 10 yrs ago and I too was the recipient of heart transplant 3 years ago. We were not able to thank the families of these donors after reaching out to them and we certainly can understand how they feel. The donors wishes were honored and we are able to enjoy our lives because of them. I pray for our donors and their families too. Thank you and I hope your song inspires many to become organ, eye and tissue donors because you never know when it will help someone you love.

Completely blown away by this. I received a life saving kidney transplant in 2017. I know nothing about my donor other than that they were aged 16.....or younger when they passed away. I'm getting to be an older guy now, and the impossibly generous gift I was given has allowed me to meet my grand-daughter. Sometimes life is good, sometimes bad....and sometimes just unfathomable. God bless all organ donors their brave, brave families.....and God bless Bonnie Raitt.

I was the ER nurse who at the very worst moment of a person''s life, when they have just been told they will lose their beloved child, spouse, sibling, parent, asked them for the ultimate gift of hope. I thanked them, but it's never enough. The image Bonnie painted is everything. Thank you from my heart.

I had never heard this song until a good friend sent it to me today. She and her husband had helped me so much at the time of my son's death 5 1/4 years ago from a tragic fall. We had met three of the five donor recipients (lung, pancreas/kidney, liver) four years ago (we live in CO, they live in CA). On 1/28/23 we had the honor of attending the quinceanera of our son's heart recipient. She was celebrating her 21st birthday since she was too sick at age 15 to have her quinceanera. Bonnie's song is just what I experienced when I hugged this beautiful girl for the first time - heart to heart with my son's/her heart! We met with the other three grateful recipients just this past week, and we are in touch with the 8 yo boy who was on dialysis until our son's kidney saved him. Thank you, Bonnie, for touching my heart so deeply - I am thrilled that you were honored with your Grammy for such a beautiful tribute to all who have lost a child. God bless you and CONGRATULATIONS!

Your song was a beautiful gut punch right in the feels!!! I called Rachel's Mom, Laura, and we are spending Valentine's day together... I can't wait to share this song together too...

A week ago, she received the call that a young donor had passed and was a match. My heart was full for my daughter’s friend, yet broke as a parent that the donor’s family’s hearts were breaking for their loss. Life is a gift. Just like that your life can change.

Yesterday was about as hard as hard can get, but after listening, and crying, I h Felt so much better. I’ve had a very successful transplant, but the physical pain, side effects from the meds has put me to the test in so many ways. I am so grateful for my new heart, I am hoping that when they are ready, I can meet my donor’s family and thank them, in the mean time I have named my heart Henry. He is a a beautiful beating trooper, and his pulse is the pulse of this song for me. Thank you Bonnie Raitt, I really needed to hear this.

As an RN, I cared for a young man and his grieving family in the ICU. The family decided to make him an organ donor after a dx of brain death. There was so much love and grief that week in the ICU as they wrestled with the diagnosis of brain death. About 6 months later I was picking up a shift at a wound care center and a patient came in for a portable PICO wound vac dressing change. As I assessed the wound and changed her dressing, I asked her when and where she had her open-heart surgery. I knew then and there that her new heart was the one donated by that very special family. I got chills. THANK YOU BONNIE FOR THIS GREAT SONG!

For the ones that don't know who she is, let's learn: Bonnie Raitt (American folk singer) has won 13 Grammys since the 90s (artist since the 60s). Including album of the year with Nick of Time (I was supposed to have bought two of her albums on vinyl). And she was one of the influences for Taylor Swift's country career (and even for many artists that you should know mainly for their songwriting career - yes, she wrote that song too). Taylor was the first to stand up and congratulate her. Last year you ALL discovered Kate Bush thanks to Stranger Things. I think it's better to find out who Bonnie is. An extraordinary artist who has been doing a good job for many years.
