constellations #38: ‘someone who is heartbroken is listening to this right now’
Hi again.
When was the last time you listened to “This Woman’s Work” by Kate Bush? When was the last time you watched the official music video for Maxwell’s cover of it? Because the comments section of that YouTube page might break your heart, build you back up, and restore your faith in humanity.
Some selections:
“Someone who is heartbroken is listening to this right now .. May God bless your life in 2021 with abundant blessings and changes 💙”
“I just want my daughter to be happy, I want her to have a good life, the whole world is on my shoulders, God 🙏 please give me strength to be strong for my daughter”
“Its midnight, can't sleep and this song just came to mind...here I am listening to it and crying from reading comments. I pray for strength for all those hurting..”
“Why does this song just hit our emotions so perfectly right now?” [Ed. note: This was posted three months ago but I feel like it could have been posted at any point in the last … ten years?]
“Didn’t expect to see this many people here in 2020. Remember no matter what you’re going through, you have a lot of strength left, so don’t give up.”
“If you think about crying when listening to this song go ahead man just let it out!!!”
“this song makes you feel like all your troubles are taken care of.....”
“Kate Bush is a phenomenal song writer.” [Ed. note: True!]
“It blows my mind that any soul would hit them dislike on this song...Shameful...This song is phenomenal❤❤”
“This song will always bring a tear to my eye. So beautiful. It makes me think of my mother who raised me and three siblings by herself. While being in a foreign country, having to start all over. Thank you mom.”
“To all those heart broken, I hope you find yourself. And when you do, enjoy every moment of it.”
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. I hope you carry the energy of these YouTube comments with you this week.
xo,
