I'd never heard anybody do that in a memorial song.
I needed to scream as well as cry when my Sydney died. For me, this song was proof solid that at least one person in the world gets it, even if he's a rock star I'll never meet. Obviously you are not alone in your loss, but losing someone you care about (I don't know who Lorraine was to you, and it's not my business) can be such a lonely experience. I hope you have your own sources of comfort. Now I feel more love and joy with the tears, and that feeling is so worth it.
It always brings me to tears, as it has just now, but I always feel better, even when the pain was so new and raw. This was exactly what it felt like to lose her, and it helped to find that kinship and expression when I had no words of my own. I have wondered if those who are losing loved ones from COVID are finding any help or comfort in this song, like I did. I had always loved the song, but then it took on another role. I lost my girlfriend 13 years ago, and this song took on a huge importance in my life. Maybe in another life I could find you there Pulled away before your time I can't deal it's so unfair And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it feels Yeah it feels like The world has grown cold Now that you've gone away Leaving flowers on your grave Show that I still care But black roses and Hail Mary's Can't bring back what's taken from me I reach to the sky And call out your name And if I could trade I would And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings Yeah it stings now The world is so cold Now that you've gone away Gone away Gone away Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Ooh Yeah ooh-ooh Oh yeah I'll save your soul Woah, yeah, yeah I reach to the sky And call out your name Oh please let me trade I would And it feels And it feels like Heaven is so far away And it feels Yeah, it feels like The world has grown cold Now that you've gone away Gone away Gone away Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Ooh Yeah ooh-ooh Oh yeah Yeah ooh Yeah ooh-ooh Oh yeah
