Day 17: A song for feeling sad

So Big/So Small - Dear Evan Hansen

I have talked on this musical before on here and other threads. It covers a lot of heavy emotional topics and mental health issues.

This song though is the only one that brought me to tears not only when I first heard it, not only when I saw it live, but also any other time I listen. As a child of divorce who had my mother try to explain different things to me throughout the process and years, this song hits so hard. I don't know anyone actually who it doesn't hit hard or resonate with.

It's sad. It's heart-wrenching. It's emotional. It's gutting. It's the love of a parent for their child trying to be told in an honest and gentle way after the child explains the fear of that parent hating them for something they've done.

 
Day 17 - Song for feeling sad

Dave from Vision was a personal friend for many years. He passed away abt 10 yrs ago.

Dude told the best and funniest stories. Some of which I have the distinct honor to say I was there and that really happened. Everyone who knew Dave, knew that he could really hold court!

But this song was always dedicated to my good friend and neighbor, R, also part of our group. (I would hold short of calling us a crew!) 😂 R was diagnosed w cancer abt 15 yrs ago and he battled, and finally lost his battle w cancer last spring.

So to Dave and R… neither of you are in pain or falling apart any more… RIP brothers!
