O/T some music just splits you right in half

[AllOkJumpmaster]

I lost my father earlier this year, I consider myself to be to be a resilient, and flat out tough mother fucker. Been through some gritty shitty times in the military, and have lost friends, comrades, but I have yet been able to completely reconcile his loss, and the void it has left. I have a family of my own now, and I remain a pillar of strength for them, but I cannot let go of my sadness, and sorrow of my dad. Songs like this are good, and maybe bad. They serve as an outlet to get the emotion out, but also perhaps prevent me from moving on.

dude....that is such a sickass song, I understand what you mean about it though. East side of Sorrow is another that shreds me in half. It may sound clown ish, but if you ever need a nuetral ear to listen / bounce shit off of, but also one that can understand your experiences, I can always be around. No obligation whatsoever, just an olive branch of support if needed.

Zach Bryan's Something In The Orange does that to me. Then pretty much anything Benjamin Tod does, but especially Wyoming is just incredible, but so goddamn rough to get through.

Have not slept much at all this week, so I’ll bite on the emotional stuff lol. Usually don’t, but it’s okay as strong tough men to share feelings right ?

Grew up with a single dad, I don’t think we have ever hugged or even touched skin in our lives. He’s the greatest man I’ll ever know, he loves classic rock and guitarist in particular. Watching him jam to Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs in the truck all my life is the closest I’ve come to seeing that man let his guard down .
I play it for my kids and make sure they get the biggest hugs. If you love someone , let them know. Hearing it can mean the world to them

This song means the world to me

For what it's worth some say "Time heals all wounds." I don't believe that's true. What I do think is that time provides distance from the initial rawness and loss/vacancy. Gradually that tine/distance helps us see more clearly and put things in proper perspective. Similar to being right up against a tree and later 10000 ft and able to see forrest, river, mountains...at extremes anyway. Often intermediate points.

Not an expert or therapist but I've lost both parents, my first wife, and a bunch of friends including two of my best. So some level of experience.

my dude

funny story, back in 2010, my girlfriend at the time, a woman I had known for a decade and had at the the time dated for 3 years cheated on me and then left me. Her justification was I was gone too often for the Army. I was blindsided, and devastated by it. I was back home on leave visiting my lifelong best friend. He puts on this Johnny Cash DVD, and tells me it is what got him through the passing of his father. We proceed to polish off 4 bottles of Johnny Walker blue between us, and watch this song on repeat for not even being hyperbolic 100 times in a row. All of that said, it was that event that allowed me to get over her, and move on, and never look back. It was so impactful that I have those lyrics tattooed on my body lol. Listened to on repeat while I was getting that ink. And, yes, I know it is / was a NIN / Reznor song first. But Trent was quoted as saying "I was born to write that song, and Cash was born to sing it"

I had a possible security concern on my end so I asked Big A to kill my old account. He updated it when I came back.

Good on you for paying attention to details
