Bright Eyes

Amit a fanok mondanak

2026 whos listening

I got married to this song. Unfortunately, 6 months later my husband passed away, he had a brain tumor. I haven heard it too much ever since, coz it still hurts so much. The lyrics gave a different meaning now, I'm so happy I met him before he died, and I know he was happy he had met me before he died too. Love you and miss you, love of my life.

The best line is "I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery." Everyone who believes in the crap about "soulmates" should keep this line in mind - there isn't one perfect person out there for you, with whom you will be forever happy with no problems. Love is hard work; it's sometimes putting your own feelings aside for the sake of the one you love, it's even (God forbid) being willing to change. Don't stick around in a toxic relationship, of course, but don't bail at the first problem. This is advice from someone who's been married since 1981.

My grandparents kiss at 1:07 and I was absolutely floored the day my nana asked “do you like the band bright eyes”. Had no clue they were in this video!!!

I think of my daughter when I hear this song. I was diagnosed with cancer when she was 2 years old and although I'm not afraid of dying as it is a part of life, I begged God to give me enough time so that she could get to know me and know what my love for her felt like. I was terrified that I would die before she had any tangible memories of me. My biggest fear was that she would know how much I loved her because other people told her and not because she knew what my love for her felt like. "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you." I'm so glad I didn't die before she got to know me. It's been 13 years now, I'm cancer free! We have the best relationship and I'm so grateful for every single day that i get to spend with her. Myabella, if you ever stumble across this comment always remember, i love you the most most ♥️
