This song always makes me think of Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island, like if Mary Ann ever got killed on the island, during her funeral, Ginger,by herself, or everybody all together would sing it as she was lowered into her grave...Cause Mary Ann and Ginger were usually the people who would clean, and it says in the song, "Mary stayed behind and starts, cleaning up the place..." And the person singing in the background sounds like her singing,too...100 likes:Sing it 4 sch.talent.show! (me!) :D
Serisoley? Pretty everyone of u pplz came to tis song cuz of a movie? god.. I have been listening to this since i was 1! (11 yrs. ago, im 12 yrs.old 7th grade) I dont think i want to know what Sons of Anarchy is.... Xp
@xiTaLeNTzxHD Yeah seriously. Though I didnt cry when the credits rolled it took me a while to collect my thoughts after the credits rolled cause that scene COMPLETELY sucked me in with its performances and music. I TRULY believed that these fantastic actors were all related and honestly felt their pain as Gemma told them her horrific ordeal. An absolutely heartbreaking but also beautiful scene that was, in my personal opinion, one of the best I have ever seen on television.
There ain't that much that can make me cry. But when i listen to this song, its a waterfall. Even if i dont listen to her words, im in tears. The rhythm and her beautiful voice bring me to tears. It's so beautiful, wonderful and so perfect. I love this song. :-)
this song's so awesome! i'd heard it 4 the first time, while watching 'SOA', when gemma 'fesses up to jax & clay, 'bout being raped... man, that's some emotional stuff right there, believe you me!
this song...it cuts across time and space and religion and hunger and hatred and everywhere and everything in between....except for that dark place thatt fear and greed and methamphetamine has stolen our brethren to.
Heard this song first time when viewing the sons of anarchy. Perfect song for the scene of Gemma telling Jax and Clay about the raping. Could listen this song all day long!!
Wow,what a hauntingly beutiful song with heart wrenchingt lyrics.If this was sung in churches every week instead of the usual "cum by yas" then the collection plates would be a lot fuller and the congregations much bigger!
(This is in continuation of what I wrote a few minutes ago) While Gemma didn't lose anyone at that time, (her son Thomas died a long time ago) being raped, she probably felt she lost a lot of things, such as her dignity, and self-respect. When she finally opened up about her rape, the healing process can begin and move with life. Thus, Gemma being the strong (mother) person that she is.
I just bought one of her live albums. She mentions this song was inspired by her grandma, Mary O'connor. Whether people think this is about Mary, the mother of Jesus, is up to our own interpretation. I think this song goes a little bit deeper than we think. IMO, I think the songs represents all the mothers who grief from the loss of their children, and still remain strong throughout their trials, and know that in time, she will eventually heal from her wounds.....just as Gemma did.
@thedarkpanther i will give you the mother of god part is over the top part the rest of the prayer is asking for her to pray for them just like priest. Vicars,Minsters and friend and family. And the sooner we stop fighting over how we worship the better because in the end our relationship with god is just that our relationship. Think of how many wars would not have happen if we had been tolerant. Christ preached one thing above all peace and good will to ALL MANKIND
@thedarkpanther this is only my opinion but to me this song has nothing to do with divine love but that of a mothers love. That's a love that is so strong. the song make me think of all those mothers that have lost sons and daughter to all those brutal and horrible thing in the world, A mother should not have to bury there child so for that reason I love this song. Ps I am catholic and I don't worship Mary and use the term used is Mother of Christ which she was.
@thedarkpanther Well we made it past the "May 21st rapture" which isn't a GOOD sign for us still remaining. lol anyway sry for the misinterpretation..much love as always to you all.
@thedarkpanther It's bigger than just living life :-) Jesus is the MAN and he knew what he was doing..don't mourn him...CELEBRATE him. :-) love ya all huuuuuuge hugs to every1
If anyone can, please post the ending of Balm on youtube. That was one of the most powerfull, touching and educative scenes in any TV series/movies I have ever encountered.
I too heard it on the Sons episode, and I too think it was perfect for the scene. But that isn't why I'm posting this comment... I just need to tell everyone how beautiful I think this song is. Even thou I don't think it's possible to put it in words. thank you for this song...
also heard it on SOA , it was soooo deeeep, like gemma sharing the situation after JAX wanted to go Nomad, it went to so well, but im starting to feel like all the music on the show is becoming my new fav songs, and before i never ever listened to this type of music. i was always the rnb , rap kinda guy , but this music is so refreshing.
song played when my mother died, so i means a lot to me, also cryied at SOA Balm- when gemma talks about rape... pff always get tears in my eyes when i hear it ! great song !
I think this song is beyond words on how great it is. Yes it was portrayed in SONS very well, but listen to the lyrics and actually listen to it for the lyrics and why this song was made, not just because it was on SONS. This song displays a very important part in everyone's life, and deserves to be listened to.
So beautiful and sad song, it makes me cry, when I listen this I always think of SOA. I hope, that 4th season will be soon, this is perfect show. I love it.
So beautiful and sad song, it makes me cry, when I listen this I always thing of SOA. I hope, that 4th season will be soon, this is perfect show. I love it.
Honestly, whoever is responsible for choosing tracks for SoA deserves every award they can throw at him/her. This was yet another brilliant match for the "Balm" final montage. It ranks right up there with Sun Kil Moon's "Alesund" during "Bainne".
@guitarrebel22 me TOO! that scene was downright moving, wasn't it? so good I had to come look this up.. that's a helluva show; good writing, good talent, and music like this..
I tear up EVERY time I watch that scene. Even if I watch it 10 times in a row, it still has the same effect. Best and most powerful scene of the series. Beautifully written, directed, performed, and the music is 100% perfect. Hits me hard every time.
