"Did I dream this belief or did I believe this dream?" I think he's talking about life. It is a dream we must stop believing in or we will continue to suffer. IMO, of course.
I miss you so very much. Who am I going to share all my adventures of my day with. Whos going to tell me they love me so much their heart aches. Whos going to listen to me when I sing or cry. Whos going to be there for me when I make the wrong choices or the right ones. You were my everything and now your gone and so is my everything. I am nothing with out you. Please tell me what to do now. what am i supposed to do next with my life.
Thank you for listening to my whisper in your ear when I finally said okay dad you can be at peace now and not be scared or hurting anymore but you must come see me once in awhile daddy-o I love you so so very much. ANd even though its only been since june of 2011 it feels like yesterday but yet a decade ago. I love you dad. I love you James Robert Sheffler
Daddy-O mine..You are mine foever and even though you seem so far away I know you will always be there for me. Thank you for comming to me in my dreams. Thank you for hearing me when everyone else was saying it was okay to go and I was so mad I didnt want to lose you so young and be with out my best friend. I was supposed to always be your daughter and you were always supposed to be my daddy.
I will never forget the day i found out my greatest friend comitted suicide. it was september 26, 2011 they called me down to the office at school with a group of friends who knew him. it was the saddest day of my life because he was always happy and hyper he was my idol. his birthday is in 9 days
I lost my only beloved son,Nikola Denic 23.11.2011....in the car accident at 5:41p.m....last call from his iPhone...I will never to forgive person which he called...N E V E R !!!
I Lost my Father on 6th of January 2009. it is 8th of Jan 2012, its been 3 years. Seems like yesterday.....This song always makes me sad, give me a smile in the end...mixed emotions all over.. :")
My friend Sabrina died Dec 8th of 2011. She was a friend to many. This song shows how life can still carry on afterwards, but it will be forever changed. Rest in peace, Sabrina. You will be missed by all of us.
He died June 18th of this year. His birthday was December 14th. I'm still stuck. I can't stop grieving, I want to, just can't. He was such a huge part of me, he was so amazing. Brilliant, astonishingly. Everything he set his mind to he was exceptional at. Beautiful man. Beautiful soul. For all the good years, for all the good he brought to the years, this grieving seems reasonable though. I miss you John.
@probrojeffro Check out Solsbury Hill and Sledgehammer. Also, he was a member of Genesis with Phil Collins, so I guess you could go as far as checking out Invisible Touch and Follow You Foolow Me, too.
@MartianCorrespondent I was being facetious, lol I've listened to all of Genesis and Gabriel, who write nothing but good songs. So that's what I meant. Thanks.
Life carry's on.......you don't actually get over losing someone that was the entire reason for your existence. You just keep going because you have to. I will miss my mother forever.
@mollybethe yesterday was my 18 birthday my mother has been gone for 10 years nothing has ever been the same since that day sad part is i think i've forgotten her face but she ill always be her legacy...why am i telling you this? everyone seems happy except me and maybe you, all pray for the mothers of the world today may god help you with your loss
@TheGamekid93 I'm sorry you lost your Mom. It is hard. It has only been 4 months for me. I am older though, 31. I hope I don't every forget what she looked like. My birthday is Saturday. I am worried, it will be my first birthday with her gone. I hope I can keep it together. Life carry's on.
I just watched the movie, this song made me tear. Such a tragic story but somehow beautiful...And my mum loves this movie too and her name is Dawn & at the end of the movie it says "for Dawn"
My husband chose to break the news of his death to me during this movie. We had it on sattelite pay per veiw and I bought the sound track . The healing power was incredible and the neighbors just thought I didn't like the ending when I protested his acceptance of the end. I really don't like the ending still.
@kestiefreehawk The movie? I don't quite understand. And just listen to the end, I mean, it's moving, beautiful, touching, and makes sense. I Grieve for your loss, but just because the song ends with actual acceptance and moving on doesn't mean you shouldn't like it! :D
Hacía mucho que no la escuchaba. No recordaba ni el nombre ya, pero si, mismo efecto de siempre, vello de punta, escalofríos que bajan desde la nuca por toda la columna hacia abajo... y una sensación que voy a omitir de este comentario :P
I think it was used in NCIS:LA as well, if I can recall correctly. He just amazes me with the amount of depth, heart and flat out soul in his voice. Bare, haunting and so very frighteningly beautiful. I wish artists were still like PG...
I listen to this when I need help dealing with the loss of my dad. Even though it's been two years, Sir, I still miss you every second of my life and I can't even explain the depth of what your memory means to me. But Mr. Gabriel can, and I thank him for that. The healing power if this song is amazing.
I lost my friend Smallville on May 13, 2011. He was only 10 years old. This song best expresses how I still feel about this loss. I grieve for you, Smallville.
@Minder666 This song expresses sadness and very nice but it makes you move and beautiful .. Smallville TV series and one of the most beautiful that there is
I miss you Daddy, you were taken from us on January 15, 2005. Some one hit you with there car and took off. You sat in your car alone for some time before an Angel came and sat with you till the ambulance came. You passed on the way to the hospital. I never got to say goodbye, I never told you how much you meant to me, how much respect I had for you. I never shared all I had to share with. I miss you so much. You live on in my heart.
Rest in paradise Spencer Duncan. Army Chinook Helicopter Crew.. Shot down. Love you so much and I'll forever miss you. Thank you for serving our country, you are a true hero. <3
about this time 3 years i lost my dad. he was in a car accident and then in a coma for 3 months after. i listened to this sing, and mercy street (his favourite song) over and over. the empty space in my life still hurts and i still miss him every day. i was 28 when we lost him. miss you daddy..
On july 26 it will be one yr since my father suddenly died. He was my best friend, my joy, my life... and for a yr now, i just can't believe there is no one to call on my breaks at work, no one to argue with about sports, politics or news, no one to hug, no one to tell "yes, you already told me that!" I grieve for you Lalo
@Lostpan2 I don't know you but I'm still so very sorry for your loss. Time will heal your pain & you will always have the memories of the many years you shared together. You were born from her & she will remain alive & inside & a part of YOU. Make her proud:)
And i still shed some many (ENTIRELY TOO MANY) tears!! sooo much pain within. horrific life. i cant hide it or anything about it as i hear this!! fucking christ help me!!
Stop making the best music ever Peter Gabriel! Seriously! I mean, Solsbury Hill, In Your Eyes, The Book of Love, and now this? When will I stop discovering heartrending, profound, awe-inspiring music of yours?
I heard this song on NCIS LA in the episode "Found". Its a really good song that really went with the tone of the ending of that episode when their friend Dom was killed..
The best thing about this song for me, is how many emotions it contains. Most songs dwell on a singular emotion i.e. love, anger, loneliness, this song has 3: in the beginning stage of the song, grief, his hearts in turmoil, then at about 4:44 u can actually hear him come to terms with what has happened, so there's acceptance, and finally the tempo begins to pick up as he finds resolution and the strength to move on. Pretty amazing imo.
@wwwyyzzerddd my sister said much the same thing. It always helped bring her out of the very mood that caused her to choose songs like this to listen to. A great song.
I dedicate this today to the family of Skylar Kauffman, taken from this life too early by someone who should have never crossed her path. My prayers are with you.
This song is so beautiful. I love Gabriel! Such a genius. If you like this song, you should check out ''Fragile Bones(Feels Like Home)'' by Ali Murray, or anything by Ali Murray for that matter. Gabriel and Murray are my 2 favourite songwriters.Musically very different, but they both make me cry...sad beautiful music
I just watched that episode on HDNET, beautifully shot funeral scene. Peter Gabriel is a bona fide musical genius. I never paid much attention to "Smallville", but it really is well written and has brilliant actors.
I lost my brother three weeks ago; I've been listening to Solsbury Hill to help me deal with the pain. I never heard this song before......who/what lead me to this song?
I hope it is my brother in some way reaching out to me, telling me, life carries on....I miss you and love you, Paul.
I lost my best friend March 15, 2010. The pain and grief I still feel today is best expressed in this song. Its hard to explain to my wife why I am still sad and unable to come to terms with not having him around. "So hard to move on, still loving what's gone, they say life carries on." "Let it out and move on, missing whats gone, they say life carries on....." I grieve for you Cody boy, I love you and will always miss you not being here. Cody was a human in a yellow labs body.
@miktwalker -it is really difficult to explain the connection some of us have with animals. Some never quite grasp it. My sympathies--I have lost many furry family members and each time a little piece of me goes with them...
@miktwalker Hey my Brother, our passed friends are all waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. Look that up on the internet my friend. It will hurt to read but it will also make you feel better and give you hope of one day seeing "Cody" again. How could Heaven be Heaven without THAT love there? Peace and Love to you in this life.
@miktwalker You grieve in your way for you and your friend...time will ... change the intensity and the frequency...but you will always miss your Cody. That is okay and that is understandible. No one else can understand...Awww...my heart is with you.
@miktwalker I know what you mean. I've lost too many fur friends. In fact, I just sent this link to a friend who had rescued a paralyzed kitten (thrown from a moving car with her littermates by a scum who does not deserve to draw breath). She had her for three short weeks and then the kitten passed away, but at least she knew love and comfort in her short time on earth. I'm sorry for your loss of Cody.
I shared this song with my mom shortly after my stepdad died of a massive heart attack and she found comfort in it...less than a year later, she died of leukemia and I found myself listening to the song again. It's such a strong song and so spot-on to what we both felt.
My dog died 2 days ago.. i still feel so sad. So hard to move on.. still loving whats gone... just like the song says. And yea, everyone says life carries on and on..
this song has a human soul...even a person cant discribe emotion with such accuracy as this song does, it brings tears to my eyes every time i listen to it!!!peter gabriel is a legend no doubt!
Well for me this song reminds me off my mum. She passed away from cancer. i dont think i knew what grief was until that happened. This song sums up the feeling for me perfectly.
@giovanniellomike1 : Peter isn't homosexual. He has four kids and is on his second marriage, not to mention other known relationships he's had with women between those marriages.
@giovanniellomike1 : I'm afriad I'm not aware of any such relationships, other than close working relationships he's had with fellow musicians. And as any musician will tell you (myself being a musician) the chemistry that comes when working on a project with other musicians is indeed very close and intimate in a way, but it doesn't in any way mean there's anything romantic going on. But even if you're right about him having male-oriented relationships, that still would only make him bisexual.
adam is the least sexual name I've ever heard. You couldn't understand Peter's complicated emotions. In this song is he urning for the touch of a dudes dong.
it's about grieving and letting go of the pain... after realizing that 'we are all connected'. much like a drop of water is to the ocean. yes, it is sad losing someone, but i am absolutely certain that they would not want you to suffer. yes, grieve for the loss, but use their love to inspire you to do great deeds...
It's about someone so close to him dying.. but life needs to go on, "they say life carries on".. he's trying to get on with his life without having this grief hold him back.. The love carries on and on.. his love for her will never go away, it will always be inside him.. All in all it's an amazingly sad song, especially if you've lost someone or multiple people in your life.
Amazing - Deep, dark and refelective. Kind of reminds me of Massive Attack, Nine inch nails, Gary Numan, Tricky, Depeche Mode, Portishead, Unkle, Allflaws
The simple, honest, and emotional nature of this song has long made it one of my favorites by Peter Gabriel. With the very recent loss of a close lifelong friend, its message is now more meaningful to me than ever. May everyone whose life she touched find the strength to move on, still loving and missing what's gone, as life carries on, and on, and on...
Its not until after someone dies that you realize what impact they had on your life. Life can never be the same again. We try to carry on. It gets easier but it never heals. I miss them all so much. This song reminds me that its best to remember them and never forget them, after all, they partially made me who I am.
This song reminds me of Smallville episode ''Reckoning'', when Clarks father dies. They play it at the funeral and the look on his face is just ... heartbreaking, I cried for hours. I just heard this song again and everything just came back to me... ;(
Actually, this particular scene was indeed pretty emotional. Classifying the whole smallville like you did ain't very smart honestly. Reckoning and Requiem are the 2 episodes where you can actually drop a tear. But, hell, who am i fooling, you probably wouldn't even drop a tear at the ending scene of Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots. Duh...
@softan You laughing and making fun of someone who was moved by something is a whole hell of a lot more pathetic and stupid than someone being moved by a TV show.
@SmallvilleVision That's where I know this song from too. It was absolutely perfect for the setting, and the slow motion video that went with it emphasized the music and the profound sadness of the whole situation. Just wonderfully done. All this contrasted the elation of what was going on with Clark and Lana earlier in the episode. I consider it probably THE best of the series so far, with only a few episodes to its conclusion.
@diinIN me two. best episode of the series. And the references to superman time traveling is the first movie as well- just the culmination of it. I'd go so far and say that the last episode where clark time traveled back to that moment brought memories back.
"Did I dream this belief or did I believe this dream?" I think he's talking about life. It is a dream we must stop believing in or we will continue to suffer. IMO, of course.

This song is so beautiful. I love Gabriel! Such a genius. If you like this song, you should check out ''Fragile Bones(Feels Like Home)'' by Ali Murray, or anything by Ali Murray for that matter. Gabriel and Murray are my 2 favourite songwriters.Musically very different, but they both make me cry...sad beautiful music

I just watched that episode on HDNET, beautifully shot funeral scene. Peter Gabriel is a bona fide musical genius. I never paid much attention to "Smallville", but it really is well written and has brilliant actors.

I lost my brother three weeks ago; I've been listening to Solsbury Hill to help me deal with the pain. I never heard this song before......who/what lead me to this song?
I hope it is my brother in some way reaching out to me, telling me, life carries on....I miss you and love you, Paul.

I lost my best friend March 15, 2010. The pain and grief I still feel today is best expressed in this song. Its hard to explain to my wife why I am still sad and unable to come to terms with not having him around. "So hard to move on, still loving what's gone, they say life carries on." "Let it out and move on, missing whats gone, they say life carries on....." I grieve for you Cody boy, I love you and will always miss you not being here. Cody was a human in a yellow labs body.

I lost my father on that day too.
He was my best friend.
So I understand.
I listened to this song soon after and almost couldn't get past it.
It's easier now surprisingly.
I hope all is well with you now.
We'll see them on the other side.

@miktwalker I know what you mean. I've lost too many fur friends. In fact, I just sent this link to a friend who had rescued a paralyzed kitten (thrown from a moving car with her littermates by a scum who does not deserve to draw breath). She had her for three short weeks and then the kitten passed away, but at least she knew love and comfort in her short time on earth. I'm sorry for your loss of Cody.

I shared this song with my mom shortly after my stepdad died of a massive heart attack and she found comfort in it...less than a year later, she died of leukemia and I found myself listening to the song again. It's such a strong song and so spot-on to what we both felt.

It's about his father's death. The fact that he is upset by his father dying makes him gay.

yeah, but what about all the dude-oriented relationships?
giovanniellomike1 1 year ago
@giovanniellomike1 : I'm afriad I'm not aware of any such relationships, other than close working relationships he's had with fellow musicians. And as any musician will tell you (myself being a musician) the chemistry that comes when working on a project with other musicians is indeed very close and intimate in a way, but it doesn't in any way mean there's anything romantic going on. But even if you're right about him having male-oriented relationships, that still would only make him bisexual.

it's about grieving and letting go of the pain... after realizing that 'we are all connected'. much like a drop of water is to the ocean. yes, it is sad losing someone, but i am absolutely certain that they would not want you to suffer. yes, grieve for the loss, but use their love to inspire you to do great deeds...
eklektikrik 1 year ago
It's about someone so close to him dying.. but life needs to go on, "they say life carries on".. he's trying to get on with his life without having this grief hold him back.. The love carries on and on.. his love for her will never go away, it will always be inside him.. All in all it's an amazingly sad song, especially if you've lost someone or multiple people in your life.

The simple, honest, and emotional nature of this song has long made it one of my favorites by Peter Gabriel. With the very recent loss of a close lifelong friend, its message is now more meaningful to me than ever. May everyone whose life she touched find the strength to move on, still loving and missing what's gone, as life carries on, and on, and on...

Its not until after someone dies that you realize what impact they had on your life. Life can never be the same again. We try to carry on. It gets easier but it never heals. I miss them all so much. This song reminds me that its best to remember them and never forget them, after all, they partially made me who I am.

@softan
Actually, this particular scene was indeed pretty emotional. Classifying the whole smallville like you did ain't very smart honestly. Reckoning and Requiem are the 2 episodes where you can actually drop a tear. But, hell, who am i fooling, you probably wouldn't even drop a tear at the ending scene of Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots. Duh...

@SmallvilleVision That's where I know this song from too. It was absolutely perfect for the setting, and the slow motion video that went with it emphasized the music and the profound sadness of the whole situation. Just wonderfully done. All this contrasted the elation of what was going on with Clark and Lana earlier in the episode. I consider it probably THE best of the series so far, with only a few episodes to its conclusion.

@diinIN me two. best episode of the series. And the references to superman time traveling is the first movie as well- just the culmination of it. I'd go so far and say that the last episode where clark time traveled back to that moment brought memories back.
