Cover art for Only If for a Night lyrics by Florence + the Machine

This song touches me in a thousand ways. My mother passed away two months ago, and everytime i listen to this song,it just gets me. I imagine my mother before the sickness creeped in,and how i would always want to make her proud,and i see my myself too doing cartwheels in front of her,and her clapping with glee....and by the service beginning in the graveyward,i envision her having to leave.As though the reality comes back in ,but i earnestly try and make her stay by doing one last handstand...

Florence and The Machine once again wrote a masterpiece.

My Opinion

Your story is extremely moving. I hope you find peace. And know that there definitely are things beyond the human realm - things that we can't associate explanations and science to. So am sure, somewhere up there your mum's watching over you and loves you as much.
