This song now holds such a strong effect on me. After losing my dad and grandfather a day apart from each other, I haven't been able to not think about them or be reminded of them in one way or another. Love you dad, love you papa. I won't ever forget the ways you've shaped me to be a better man.

I lost my mum last year and heart is a muscle was one of her funeral song choices. I cared for her during her battle with lung cancer and held her while she passed, the first thing i did was have a cigarette and cry with my sister. And almost a year later this hits so damn hard now its beautiful but painful. R.I.P Donna

Damn Dave... This album will be your legacy. šš¼
This song came to me right after my father passed some months ago.
Holy shit guys- "Youths"!
I listen to this album and I listen to the musical and lyrical genius. I have not been affected by an album like this well... ever, because it's personal. Really personal. But, damn it is personal to me...
This song though.
"So we held you 'til your dark skin dulled to fair...But to cradle you the last days was an honor and a miserable feat"
ā”No shit! This was the hardest thing for me too. To watch my dad slowly leaving this world, this plain of existence.ā”
"I still need you in everything...
And I'll think of you each day as if to nourish me from inside out"
ā”Yes,Amenā”
"I prayed for you in song and kneaded through your veins
And chased the morsels of your voice and gave you shots to ease the pain
I will hear you in everything."
ā”My Dad was an opera singer. So, yes I will.ā”
"When you asked us for some wine, we bought the best stuff. And we laughed and watched you drink..."
ā”We did! It was one of my greatest honors to make my dad laugh, like Really fucking laugh, during his last days.ā”
"Now I smell you in the air and I pause to breathe you in
And I have torn apart your closet and devoured the scent within
You ascend in every skyline... I will see you in everything. "
ā”yesā”
"How do I face the world?... So if there's something of you here in the ever-changing light
Holding close to my unsteady heart and bonding me to life
May your spirit never leave me in the boredom."
ā”Amenā”
"It'll torture me at first, then it'll hurt a little less
And I will pour through every piece of you 'til nothing new is left
Just your eyes in my reflection
And the heavy thing now beating in my chest"
ā”F**k! Now it's getting crazyā”
"We held you in your bed, we washed you in your sheets
And sang you hymnals from the islands 'til you drifted off to sleep
Then I kissed the hands that raised me for the last time
And stared out into the street."
ā”heartdropā”
"I will see you in everything...
Cause I will look for you every time
I will look for you every time."
ā” Like I said Dave, as if you're going to be reading my shit, LOL!
This album is your father's legacy; it is going to be yours. It's brilliant. From the words to the music, the orchestrations. Thank you for sharing THIS PART of your journey.
You guys make me happy, giving me soul food, making real music.
Brilliant. Thank you.

This song hits me. Every raw emotion digs itās way into my soul, to the point that I forget to breathe halfway through it. You have conveyed the moment of a loved ones passing to the very bone. With this song I am there, yet at the same time I am healing. It makes me feel as if Iām not alone, like there is a life that can coincide with my own, if only briefly. This song is a hymn to all who know true grief. Thank you. With all my heart, thank you.

Wow. There's a reason Gang of Youths is my favorite band. Their music is so real and raw and beautiful and always so poignant. And always so musically and lyrically compelling and intriguing. It just pulls you right in and you get lost within the music. It's honestly magical
