I recently came across a letter from my ex which she wrote many years ago, when we were still young. She told me how amazing she thought this song was. I can't remember ever having listened to it. So i thought i'd google it and indeed - this song seems pretty great.
Unfortunately, she left me last year, but I am glad she still was able to add something positive to my life by introducing this song to me, even though it wasn't on purpose. She really was the most beautiful, smart and caring woman I have ever met and I am sad I lost her. But life goes on, so now i should just be glad that at least I got to know this song because of our break-up. Thank you, Judith! <3

P.S. sorry for making you read a long and sad comment from a stranger :p you should go to the kitchen and get yourself a cookie as a reward for reading it (; Have a nice day! (:

I looked at that person's user page and someone had left this comment on the 'discussion' section:

low's "lullaby" has over 20M views when you combine this and the official one. there are a LOT of comments in turkish here.

like:

bu kadar insan bu şarkının altında sözleşmiş gibi toplanmışız, farklı yaşantılar, aynı acılar. Hepinize teşekkür ederim, yalnız değilmişim..

translated: So many people gathered under this song as if they were contracted, different experiences, the same pain. Thank you all, I was not alone.

theres dozens more like this. i cannot figure it out, but its fascinating.

Every time I play this song, I visualize me and my best friend, dining in a house, she has wore the red dress and we do exactly as the lyrics say. I cannot express how happy it makes me! I can only hope that I actually get to do it in reality with her because I'm just a best friend to her and atm she has no romantic feelings towards me.

I remember first hearing this song in the summer of 2001. I was 25 years old living in Portland OR, and it was one of the most awful years of my life. I Went through a really bad break-up with my then fiancé, the World Trade Center attacks, and my dead end job where I worked the graveyard shift was finally starting to get to me. I was going through a great deal of depression that year. This was one of the songs I listened to quite often that year, and believe it or not I get a great feeling of wonderful nostalgia hearing this today for the first time in probably 15+ years. Funny thing is, hearing this song reminded me of all the good times that I actually tried to make out of it all that year, which is why I actually find this song comforting.

I used to mow my Dads lawn to this album. Lot of introspection going on to these beautiful and spacey tunes back then. Thanks R.E.M.

Queensryche, "Silent Lucidity"

I lost my wife of almost 20 years to Cancer on 09/12/22.... When we first met I took her to a Queensryche concert in Albuquerque,NM. That was night we both really understand that we were soul mates I guess... And I held her when they started playing this song, and we were inseparable since than. It was early 2020 we found out she had Cancer and because of Covid it was hard to get into a hospital for treatment. Two years went by with very little medical visits till early 2022 and things took a turn for the worse and did my very best to be there for her as much as I could. I even quit my job just to take her to her Chemotherapy treatment and stuff. I could tell by her physical appearance that her body was getting frail but to me she is always that beautiful Navajo woman that I fell with regardless of her physical appearance. She left us ( our kids and I)! in the early morning hours of 09/12/22. And eversince than I would dream of her and till a month later she came to me once again in my dream and told me she is home and gonna go to sleep and eversince than I felt peace and Comfort. Rest easy my love Tawnya I love and miss you tremendously 😭

My son passed away today and this is the song that I dedicated to him when he was born in 1991, the same year Queensryche released the Empire album. RIP my son.

I had this cassette in Saudi during Desert Shield/Storm and would look at the stars at night hoping to make it home. Months later I made hope and turned on the tv and this song started to play. I cried. God was telling me I was home. Will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Queensryche for the incredible memories.

My Dad passed away on Wednesday February 1, 2023. I'm proud to say he had amazing taste in music and because of that, he had a huge influence on my musical interests.
He loved this song. My love for Queensrÿche and my love for this song...I influenced him too.
I will miss you SO MUCH Pop. My heart is broken. I miss my morning phone call from you...especially your "My son!" after I said hello. You're no longer in pain or suffering. I love you Papasito. ❤️

My dad asked to play this at his funeral, I never understood why until he passed and I listend to the lyrics. It makes sense now. I come back here every so often to reminisce him.

I know this may sound weird, but I lost my husband out of the blue… this song makes me feel like he’s around ❤

I hope folks are reading s1ocki's Substack because this was an amazing update to SadYouTube

Wow! He gives a little hat-tip to the podcast Heavyweight at the end, but it really does feel like a episode of that show.

I sadly missed this revive, so reboosting!
