I'm a 36 year old man who has never really shown emotion, i don't know why. ive had my share of misfortune just like anyone, health scares, funerals, weddings and even my own mothers death. I just sort of felt numb. Very few things have brought me to tears. Every single time this song plays my eyes well up and I cry like a baby. It's beautiful how some music can bring you to a moment in your own personal life.

Her name was Donna, she was my mother. Donna and I, never met face to face, she left before I could even cry her name. It wasn't her time to deliver and yet this was her last goodbye. She walked into the hospital 7 month's pregnant, with the love of her life, Robert. July 24th, 1984 her body was not her's anymore, the nurse took the first blood pressure pump and then "pop", a vessel in her brain burst. As her husband waits for the news deep down he new this was his last goodbye. The nurse came out and said , "sir your wife died". He now had to burry the love of his life and bring home the joy of his baby girl. What a bitter sweet moment this was, unfortunately it still is for me. I am Tracy and i survived at 7 months while my mom died first and then I was saved. This song awakened my tears because my mom didn't die in vain but because she loved me. Thank you for this song, it will be on constant repeat because it's real. It has love, meaning, unity, realness but your story. This is priceless! Thank you ~

Sampha probably wouldn't remember me, but I was in a band with him very briefly, back when we were both in secondary school. He was head of music and rugby in his final year whilst I had just joined the school in first year. Since then, I have seen his music career blossom, from the work he did with SBTRKT to his collaborations with Drake, Solange and Kanye and now, this. It is truly awe-inspiring that somebody from the same sort of background as me would go on to achieve such huge things in such a twisted and corrupt industry. So even though you don't know who I am, thank you Sampha, for inspiring and encouraging me to make beautiful music, particularly during a time when our planet is in such turmoil.

EDIT: WOW. I posted this comment well over two years ago at a point where I was feeling low. By no means did I ever expect to get this sort of reach or support. I cannot thank those that reached out with loving and thoughtful comments enough. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read about my story, and with all that is going on in the world, I genuinely hope you are all staying safe and are surrounded by those you love and cherish. From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU π
Original Comment:
I doubt anyone will read this or care about it. But this is one of the most meaningful songs in the world to me. Not only did "Process" as a whole get me through the many months that my mother spent in the hospital, but when she finally got out, I was able to share this with her and we cried together. She told me that she was afraid she was going to pass away, as he had been very sick for many months. I told her, while holding her as we cried, that she would be okay. Fast forward a little over a month later, and out of nowhere she passed away. March 25th, 2017. She was 37 years old. This was the song that I played before I spoke at her funeral. I knew that, playing this and listening to it while I stood in front of all of her friends and family, that she was still there with me. With all of us. I flashed back to the night we spent crying in her car, the same as I am now, crying here writing this. And I just wanted to say, that you never know when your last goodbye will be. Cherish every damn moment that you have with your loved ones, because you never know when they will be gone. Thank you, Sampha, for sharing not only this song with the world, but an entire album that has gotten me through the toughest year of my life.

No one knows me like the piano in my mother's home
You would show me I had something some people call a soul
And you dropped out the sky, oh you arrived when I was three years old
No one knows me like the piano in my mother's home
[Chorus]
You know I left, I flew the nest
And you know I won't be long
And in my chest you know me best
And you know I'll be back home
[Verse 2]
An angel by her side, all of the times I knew we couldn't cope
They said that it's her time, no tears in sight, I kept the feelings close
And you took hold of me and never, never, never let me go
'Cause no one knows me like the piano in my mother's home

Sampha moved back into his childhood home to look after his mother following her cancer diagnosis. The piano became a form of escapism from the difficult circumstances. The singing of songs was a form of catharsis and the result is this song, a tribute to his mother.
