I lost my oldest son age 27, to suicide 5 weeks ago. He had a mental illness. He was high risk and escaped the hospital. I am heart broken. Every day I cry out to Jesus for his strength. This deep dark valley is such a sad and lonely road. Yet I look for the promise of my God every day. I have so many questions, he loved the Lord, he wondered why he suffered so much. My husband and I have 4 other children, we are all trying to cope with our loss.

Hopefully through this song it will help people realize that kids to experience depression. That bullying hurts and to be kind. I’m glad you and your dad did this song. It hurts my heart to think kids have to experience these kinds of things. I am almost 50 and struggle with depression. Thank you Matthew & Lulu. BTW your girls are growing in to beautiful… Read more »

Thank you for this beautiful song. For years now I have been encouraging song writers to sing their fantasies. I feel we have been stuck in music of melancholy that maintains and reinforces sadness and causes the acts of suicide like Sam’s. Same thing with movies and television. Sad songs need to now be sung to a therapist not into a microphone. Otherwise that sadness can go viral straight to the mind. Please write songs about how you would Love the world to be even if it’s not that way yet. Then when it does happen, you have the music… Read more »

This is a wonderful song for such a time as this. I found comfort hearing the words so softly sung to us all. I feel the pain. Lulu, you have such a beautiful voice. Please hold on to the good memories shared with your friend, and always remember, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…” Psalm 46:1-2a.
