good luck with that, as that's presently every video on youtube that plays a piece of music.

Sarah McLachlan - Hold On (live)
Sonja
This song makes me think of December 31, 2008. I was in the hospital having a baby I named Sarah who didn't make it. The next day I started chemotherapy for the cancer that took my daughter the day before. Not knowing if I'd live for my husband or my other children was scary. Thank God I'm still alive. So hearing this really touches a sensitive spot in my heart. Thanks Sarah for getting me through this.

I posted this on a different thread, a comment on Melanie/Edwin Hawkin's "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)":
"It was 1971, I was 31 years old, a low almost suicidal point in my life after I got out of the service. I drove up to Topanga Canyon above Malibu and stopped at the Corral. A young lady asked me to play this song on the jukebox. We chatted and in the end she changed my life. Strange but true. Joanne McDonald...here's to you where ever you are!"

John GoedeckeJohn Goedecke1 year ago (edited)My older brother used to sing this song for me when I was going to sleep.He died of leukemia when he was 20 years old and I was just 3.Its about all I can remember of him and it still moves me to tears everytime I hear it.To this day I sing my girls to sleep at night to JT songs.One day they came in while I was watching an old JT vid on YouTube like this one and my younger daughter says “ Daddy,he’s singing your song”.I was floored and all I could think of to say was.....” bet you didn’t know you had a famous dad huh? “ They’ll figure it out someday but for now it’s how I keep my brothers memory alive.Thank you JT for all the years and the songs!

['Invisible Sun' by the Police]
Alpha9Z6 years agoI 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! (:

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.

Tanmay Gudhekar5 days agoEvery 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.

[The Lifting by REM]
@Snagman672 years agoI 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.
@heathkitchen43153 years agoI 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"
Alden Charley3 months agoI 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 😭
Pablo Blanco3 months agoMy 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.
Joseph Mojica4 months agoI 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.
Mÿndcrime2 months agoMy 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. ❤️
