Fourth of July By Sufjan Stevens

"Did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?" it makes my heart ache and the bridge of my nose is a bit spicy

For anyone wanting to cry a bit more, the song 4th of July (where the title is from and the first song) is written by a boy and is the conversation he had between his mother when she was on her deathbed from cancer, it was the last conversation they ever had.

"Did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?" - Shoutout to all my fellow emotionally neglected children who never learned what it's like to feel loved ♡

i wanna sing this to my younger self so bad, she was so innocent and full of life now she's just a rotting body with a beating heart.

If your wondering the name of this song is 4th of July. Whoever reads this I love you, keep going please, it’s okay to not be okay. Don’t feel guilty for not being okay,cry it all out.

“and i’m sorry i left , but it was for the best , though it never felt right” , literally makes me burst into tears

"Did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?"

It hits sm harder when she says:" Did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?" When your a person who never got an apologize and never got a comfort..

"When you feel alone, look at the sky. And see that the sun is alone and doesn't stop shining."

I was originally listening to a slowed version of "Mary on a Cross" while crying outside while my dog comforted me. This was the next song on auto play, and I wasn't really paying attention to it until my dog licked my face and bumped her head against my chest and i heard the "did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?" And I started bawling, hugging my dog as she just sat there and let me heal.

To anyone who ever finds this, I was listening to this while my girlfriend was asleep next to me and It took me a second to realize just how lucky I am to be alive in such a stable circumstance. About 3-5 years ago I was on the verge of throwing my life away, my family didn't have money, I was bullied for 6 years straight, my parents argued often, and I had nobody's shoulder to cry on. The list goes on. Now I have a stable living situation, I'll be learning to drive this summer, my parents worked out their issues, and I have a wonderful girlfriend who loves me dearly. To anyone in a situational crisis right now. Please, if not for the people around you for a random person on the internet. Stay strong and keep pushing, I can't guarantee when but I promise you that with the right amount of effort and drive you can make it to that light. If everyone around you is saying they want you gone know that I believe in YOU and you alone. Stay strong for the people who do care about you.

lyrics:

Every time I sing this song I start to tear up. I've never lost anyone super close to me, or went through a traumatic event to this extent. THAT is how emotionally intense this song is, it can make me feel like I've just lost the person I loved the most in this world. It's so heart wrenching

What hurts more about this song. Is I wish I could sing this to my best friend Ruby. It’s funny because she looked VERY similar to the picture that’s why I clicked. Sitting here crying for her everyday I wish I was there enough for her. I wish it was me. She was my world, my stars, my very heart. She was my family and now I have to go on without her. I hope she knows someday I’ll meet her again and when I do I’ll be able to show her all the memories I had and how much I thought of her until I die.

This song really touches you're heart when you're just a kid and never had anyone by you're side.

Rest in peace, Moonbin.

Idk how to explain it, but this song feels like reliving trauma with your little self beside you. Except, your little self hasn't experienced any of it yet and you do everything you can to prevent them from experiencing it.

“Did you get enough love? My little dove? Why do you cry?” Hits home so hard for me

“We’re all gonna die” that line hits hard after 2019
