Listen to this or ELSE: Gregory and the Hawk – Boats and Birds
It has only happened a few times throughout my life where someone recommends a song, and I become absolutely obsessed with it. And I don’t use ‘obsessed’ lightly. I mean, I enjoy recommendations…but to become obsessed…on a scale of 1-10, a 1000? Only sometimes.
I’m pretty sure that if my friend reads this, even he’ll be sick of hearing me sing its praises.
The first thing that might come to mind is a romantic love. However, in the singer’s (Meredith’s) own view, it’s about leaving home. So a parent and their child could also come to mind with the lyrics.
But no matter how you choose to interpret the lyrcs – it’s a tender, haunting, and beautiful song.
And her voice just makes me melt.
It’s probably the best song you’ve heard in a while 
It’s about loving, devotion, it’s about letting go, acceptance…and through it all…still loving.
Even though your love for someone is so strong, if you know the best thing for them is for you to let them go, and you do it…that’s powerful. I believe that’s what happening in the song, and at the end she’s sort of saying, you can go…but don’t you dare let me forget you.
In it’s own way it’s as uplifting as it is “emo”.
And I hope you like 
Sidenote: for as much shit as Brooklyn gets, one can’t deny the musical talent it produces.
