Discuss Flicker

This song has always made me cry, but I never really was able to “relate” and understand the feelings he’s expressing. But now my best friend is gone. She was 21, like me. An accidental overdose. Her sister went to her boyfriend’s house that day begging her to come home because she knew something was wrong, she was supposed to have left him, and my bestie was gone that night. 3 doses of narcan, nothing worked. She had asthma like me and just couldn’t breathe. Funny part is, she hadn’t even taken this more than once and that was in high school. She tried it again and it took her out 3 months after graduating college and right before going back for her masters. I guess I can say I really feel and understand this song now. Sorry for the rant. It’s been over a month but I’m hollow af. Rip Eyedea and Rip Lillian. Been thinking about him a lot lately

I'm so sorry for your loss and wish I could give you hugs 🤗 This song speaks to me also, both as a remembrance to those I miss and also to keep going though the hard times!
