This song doesn't remind me of anyone but myself, when I'm at my worst, when I lay down in bed for hours staring at the ceiling, when I'm in class and my heart beats so fast I can't pay attention to what the teacher is saying, when my hands are shaking so much I don't know what to do, when I'm crying so hard I can barely breath, when I'm so sad so scared so confused. It also reminds me that I'm still alive and that I have to stay alive, it's never easy but I haven't given up yet.

This song got me through when my newborn suffered a heart attack at birth and she had been fighting so hard but started to lose the battle. It was my way to process that if she needed to leave it was okay. We were blessed and she made a miraculous turn around and turns 10 this month. Now I pass this song 10 years later to my amazing step daughter, who just lost an amazing person in her life today. Sometimes songs create a space for things that would otherwise be too big to express. So grateful for this artist.

If you must wait,
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
If you must weep,
Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
If you must mourn, my love
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn,
Don't do it alone
If you must leave,
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak,
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die, sweetheart
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
And if you must die,
Remember your life
You are
You are
Oh, you are
You are
Oh
If you must fight,
Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
If you must work,
Work to leave some part of you on this earth
If you must live, darling one,
Just live
Just live
Just live

The reason why I love Keaton, you can hear the life itself in his voice the pain, the relief and sorrow. He isn't singing "you can do it" instead of that this is a song about life "If you must die, die remembering your life, if you must live, just live ". He is definitely comforting right now..

This song pulled me through a fucking bad depression and pretty much saved my life. I can now finally listen to this song without breaking down. Thanks so much Keaton, you , unknowingly, meant the world to me!
Edit: if youâre dealing with depression: Donât give up. Find people to talk to. Let go of all shame and talk. I know the pain in opening up to people, but at least try.

Full Lyrics:
If you must wait,
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
If you must weep,
Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
If you must mourn, my love
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn,
Don't do it alone
If you must leave,
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak,
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die, sweetheart
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
And if you must die,
Remember your life
You are
You are
Oh, you are
You are
Oh
If you must fight,
Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
If you must work,
Work to leave some part of you on this earth
If you must live, darling one,
Just live
Just live
Just live
