I'm 44 and I have recently been diagnosed with a grade 2 inoperable oligodendroglioma (brain tumor) and have been told that I have perhaps 1 year left on this earth, I think this is the saddest song I've ever heard, I love this song so much and want it to be played at my funeral but I worry it will upset my daughter to much, it scares me to think of my daughter on her own and that I won't be here to comfort and support her through the trails and challenges that await her through out her life and it breaks my heart that I will never see my daughter graduate university or that I won't be there to walk her down the Isle on her wedding day or meet my grand children, I love you Esmee to the moon and back and want to make as many happy memories with you as possible and I am so very proud of the beautiful, intelligent and courageous young woman you have become, I know that one day (many many) years from now we will meet again. Esmee, my dearest darling daughter, those day's will be truly glorious fore we shall walk hand in hand through the fields of paradise as we listen to the heavenly choir of angels having shed the sins and the struggles that we carried for all our years, but until that time I will miss you so so much, with all my heart and soul. All my love, your dad. may god bless you all, please be kind to one another and cherish your loved ones because life is just to short and far to precious to waste on bitterness and hate "gather ye rosebuds while ye may"

This song is so precious to me. It reminds me of my mom who put me up for adoption when I was a baby. I want her to know I love her. She was so brave for doing that, I can't imagine what that feels like. I want to play this for her to tell her I want to be with her someday. If that day ever comes. I was so empty for all those years until adoption records were finally opened. Now I know who my family is. She is truly my hero, she shined even though she let me go. That took a lot of courage. I want to thank her for who she is and what she did. I would not be here today if it weren't for her.

My wife has been living 400 Km away in Mexico City for four years now where she gets chemo and has had several surgeries for breast cancer (It's the best Oncology hospital in Central america). She is doing great and has already had her last reconstruction surgery. I had to stay in our city to work and pay for household and cancer expenses as well as College for our two kids. We are now so near to being phisicaly together again. This song is the promise I make: "If you wait for me, and I will come for you. Although I travelled far... I always hold a place for you in my heart."

This song attached me with a person who I promised him that I will for sure come and visit him, in another country. He expected for me, and I know deep inside, we expected this as a mark of our start in a so-called relationship. But distance is a scary weapon challenging the wait, especially we’re just in a promising phase, not yet in a relationship. Then 2 years passing with Covid interference, i cannot make it. I didn’t even have chance to make my promise come true before I know for now he has a girlfriend. I’m happy for him, and he deserves happiness. Sometimes, we’re heartbroken and keep thinking of a person while they’re enjoying the best of their time, without knowing abt them. I feel nostalgic whenever I hear this song, reminding me of incomplete love story. Maybe the moral story here is to just keep love inside me. Or nothing to be analyzed and let go of overthinking, and things are well organized !!

If you wait for me Then I'll come for you Although I've traveled far I always hold a place for you in my heart If you think of me If you miss me once in a while Then I'll return to you I'll return and fill that space in your heart Remembering Your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you If you'll be waiting If you dream of me Like I dream of you In a place that's warm and dark In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart Remembering Your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you If you'll be waiting Oh, I've longed for you And I have desired To see your face, your smile To be with you wherever you are Remembering Your touch Your kiss Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you Please say you'll be waiting Together again It would feel so good to be In your arms Where all my journeys end If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep I vow to come for you If you wait for me And say you'll hold A place for me In your heart A place for me in your heart A place for me in your heart A place for me in your heart 🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🤟

This music is a bittersweet nectar to me these days. On March 26, my Mother would have turned 65, passed away when I was 12; on March 27, my ex-partner, who died in my arms, would be 43 years old, I was 24 (Im now 40). The two were Aries, life has bizarre coincidences. I generally deal well with the concept of life and death but I admit that this week is always strange to me. I do not even say it's sad. it is as if it was a mental blank, an oscillating between apathy and hypersensitivity. I wake up to the date, I spend the day on "suspension" mode and only at night- or the next morning gives me a lump in my throat, no crying, nothing, just a weight within that I can not explain. The two, as well as my niece, were the only people in my life whom I said" I love you ", none, no one has reciprocated to this day. For 363 days of the year this does not seem to matter, only in these two days that vacuum, this cold and unrecoverable distance seems to weigh like a tsunami. And it is at these times that I doubtlessly agree, exceptionally, with my sign and ascendant (Leo with asc Aries), "I will always hold a place for you in my heart", especially for my Mother that I miss and need every second, every step, every day of my whole life. Not all the longing is bad and not every tear is of regret, these are more than anxiety to review and re-embrace.

This voice hits something else. How is it possible to feel like crying and laughing all at once. Her voice seems to have a matter to it which intertwines and encapsulates the listener in their own little coccoon. Profound.

Someone very close to me that I wronged and he kept a distance from me even after apologizing. He told me he needed space and I respected his decision. Today he has sent me this song after not talking for a while. I'm happy that this could be a sign that he's forgiven me and wants us to reconnect. It's a very beautiful and sweet song.

A soul is a coat of many collors. You have been one of the brightest stars carrying me thru my darker, collar-full times. Well, It's shady characters here and there anyway, I suppose, for everyone, some far more than the Otters. Music gives us hope to find the Silver Lining (Me) in a reflection of the Moon on a starry, starry night that mirrors a voice of a Sänger(in) ushering a rain - bowing to all the maimed hearts. Und Sie ist (Du bist) Luna, by the Way. And Venus. Y'all have been all that to me and more. Funny, how someone happens to be a planet, a celestial being, a star, a guardian and a shoulder to lean on. All that I need is some notes from time to time. All we need is Laaf and we know what Milky Way is made of. Helps when gazing from Copper fields to those of Barley & Jade. And chariot of the Sun carried me back home, to the Vedun Ensemble from Slovenija, now on course. Hvala :-) THK U4 D MUSIC... Always Echoing!

In 2011 after living in Canada for a year…I had to return to the UK and left a beautiful, kind woman who I had spent the past year with. We played this song on our last night together and when we said goodbye at the airport gate I wept. A year apart was not easy. But she came to England to be with me and we played the song as she walked down the aisle in 2014. Now it’s 2022 and we are playing the song once again as our two boys play in our home.
