This song, is everything I want to say to my best friend. I hope you see this somehow... Even if we don't talk anymore, you still mean the world to me. Let your light shine through again so I can come and stand by you once more... Please? I'll here.
i showed my friend this and she said it reminded her of her sister Lyra who commited suicide june 20th 8 years ago. She left all her diarys to my friend so that so could know what she was going through and why she did it. The line "You say you drag me down, no one should want you now" is more or less what she wrote towards the end of the last diary.
@EMCTB Alison Sudol is amazing and talented and her lyrics can really paint an image in your mind. And some popular music is really terrible, about sex and money. But some popular songs get a bad rap because of the lyrics, because the lyrics are all metaphors and it's up to interpretation. Although Alison's songs are incredible and flawless in my opinion, they're also very descriptive and there is no confusion as to what the song is about. But she is undoubtedly beautiful and extremely talented.
This song just brings a smile to my face no matter what my mood is. I love this song and I'm so glad to have found it! :) Replay, 3:23 later, replay! 3:23 later, replay! 3:23 later, replay!!!! lol
I have spent so long searching Google for this song. Using keywords like "I cry and not allowed to" "tells me I'm not allowed to" "i cry and he says I'm not allowed to" I finally found it, the fourth page, with a search of, "amazingly beautiful song with lyrics: 'I'm not allowed to' cry" and after replaying countless times: I'm enlightened by Alison Sudol's talent.
this song, like all of her songs, have a haunting melody and a deeper meaning. and just because most kids these days cant even spell out you does'nt mean that were all inane.
This song...all I can think of is a guardian angel who everyone has always expected so much out of and taken so much from and now they just want someone they themselves can lean on and be protected by. I dunno. It sounded a lot better in my head, haha.
I find it so interesting that this song has such deep, meaningful, thought-provoking comments, and that even the ones that say "I love this song" are worded so nicely. No look at comments on Jonas, Beiber, Kesha, etc. videos and tell me what kind of comments you see.
That those other songs are more popular compared to the quintescent embodyment of beauty like this song... it just makes you embarassed to be the same species as some people.
It makes you wonder that if at the end of that winding path, is the beacon worth it in the end? You can't really feel its heat or see its light anymore, so what's the point? But maybe the once existent beacon is so rewarding, that it's a good enough reason.. To keep going.. To keep crawling.. To keep... Keeping... Hope.
@xloveatfirstbite It's about how this guy never really knew how to love, and he got in this relationship with a girl and now he's saying he has to leave because he love her how he wants to. :( And she's saying she doesn't want him to be alone.
This song makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it.My fiance brought this song to my attention a while back.I have cystic fibrosis a lung disease ur born w & theres no cure just treatment.Me & him have been 2gether 4 almost 2 yrs n when we met i didnt feel worthy of love n alot of times still dont.He loves me so much n he said this song reminded him of me but that no matter how how much I went thru n how much i felt unworthy of his love he wouldnt leave me that it was his honor 2 b w me
what i like the most in Alison is, she is not looking and tooking like: i`m so cool, i`m so hot and the best like other stars. She still be real in her songs and videos, and that what she sing come from her heart. One time she is a lady, then a little girl and i love she and her voice. Alison you are great!
This song brought me to a sob. it's exactly how I felt about my son before his suicide. He was such a beacon of light and love, but was looked over as an annoying glow. His existance was so lonely, but still he went on. Until he just couldn't anymore. I miss him so much, and I want to thank Allison for writing this song.
@TheMoVi3Fr3Ak My song ended his life when he came to this firm belief that he could find no love in this world. I and family were unable to talk him out of that belief.
This is gonna sound really strange, but it reminds me EXACTLY of one of the characters in the book I'm writing. It also sort of relates to my life - sometimes I'm the lonely one, sometimes I'm looking at someone else thinking that they're the lonely one. Beautifully written :D
I just discovered for myself how beautiful, and sad, this song really is. :')She is a great songwriter and singer, and her voice is exceptionally good for these kinds of songs, where the vocals go from being strong and loud to soft and frail, with a tender twist. Good work, Alison! I would just like to have heard a different ending to this song, only the last ten seconds or so.
This is my favorite song off of your album! So amazing and beautiful. "I start to cry, you kiss my eyes and say I'm not allowed to." wow beautiful ;-)

I understand Spanish better than speaking it, though you didn't ask that.
