• Loss of my brother

    by kewatters on November 07, 2011
    Well, it's been 1 month and 2 days since I lost my brother and there hasn't been a single day that I haven't thought of him. I never thought I would lose someone so close this soon in my life. Life can be so unfair sometimes.. He was only 23. He had been going through depression, schizophrenia, bipolar and very recently insomnia. Max and I shared many things in common, including our music taste, creativity, and humor. The past year was very hard for he and us because he wasn't who he used to be. He changed his personality drastically and no one knew what he was talking about anymore.. What has helped me the most in grieving him, is listening to music that he and I shared. He had a great influence on me when it came to music. He listened to a lot of 80's music, which I fell in love with probably because of him. He had such a passion for film and arts, that was actually his major at IU. I have also been listening to Coldplay a lot lately, and I have found that a lot of his songs give me much comfort. The song talk kind of reminds me of Heaven. I interpret it as someone who has recently lost a loved one, specifically a brother. This person is trying so hard to reach that brother because it's hard to go on without him. He want's to talk to him so bad. He wonders what Heaven is like and want's him to do things in Heaven that no one has done. He wants his brother to send messages back to him badly just to know that he is ok. I can relate so well to this song. Right when this song came on I interpreted it like this. It probably has a different meaning to others, but this is what I think it means. It's a truly beautiful song. I love Coldplay!
