Samuel Fink Lost my soulmate 17 months ago. I’m the one ‘spending some days alone.’ You don’t get over it or get through it. But the tears I shed now are worth the joy we shared during the years we had together. Well worth it.

Keep strong

Lost my lover of twenty eight years to a motorcycle accident in July. One day here and next just gone. Never had a chance to say goodbye.

This comment was a tear jerker. Hang in there and stay strong:)

It's the price we pay for love...

I had a similar experience with "A Little Bit of Everything" by Dawes on NPR years ago. Really moving stuff. I wish there was more real radio and more real listeners. On Demand everything is very limiting.

To me, it’s a happy song (while still being sad). It’s pretty much saying we are lucky to not live forever because it limits our ability to take each other for granted, so make the most of it. Listen to Elephant by Isbell...it’s SO sad.

While it seems sad, it is a true love song for it combines the reality of life with the eternity of life. What we experience here may span years, but when we meet that connecting soul, then even after we are gone, we live on.

@@Jaewhitfield When you're on the other side of 60, as my husband and I are, this is very sad. Makes me bawl everytime. You begin to think about your lifetime and how much time you wasted with the dumbest things.

I had that same exact kind of experience at work one morning north central Kansas, hungover, traveling work, in a desolate lonely unfamiliar place, my work 4 wheeler STUCK in the mud and then it started raining on me again. So theres my excuse I was already pretty vulnerable.. Then ELEPHANT came through on my earbuds while streaming Spotify and I frickin lost it man. Bawled my eyes out. Granted I listen almost exclusively to instrumentals.. Never had a song hit so hard I wanted to play it again but I put my soul in front of the mirror and said don't. you. dare. NOT NOW. Isbell is a real contender among the greats from all time!

And change the lyrics to "maybe we'll get 10 years together "

Mark Bassett 40 years wasn’t long enough...not nearly enough...I’m the one spending the days alone.

Lili Marlene I’m so sorry. I pray strength and grace for you.

Amen

I am with you brother. God yes.

Yes indeed, the mandolin part, not in other versions, brings something brand new to what is, indeed, the most beautiful love song by a male songwriter I have ever hand.

You should watch the live youtube stream of Live from Here (it's only when they're in certain locations), it does the same thing for me! And I always learn something about music from the commentors.

Well, when you put out material like this it’s kinda hard to draw heat out of people lol even the man on the moon knows this song is great.

yvl grrl if you’ve not heard his other stuff, you should. Jason is phenomenal.

We were lucky enough to be there too, and the consistently exquisite quality from beginning to end blew us away. We expected a lot, and were given so much more.

One of the best songwriters. Period.

Yes sir.

I dont know why that statement made me cry ....

The most brutal love song which is so perfect for couples who have lived there lives together!

Try to get someone to provide you with as close as possible an accurate translation. You will feel it even more.
