I have no words to express how amazing this song is. Specifically, this rendition

https://youtu.be/vAoADCSpD-8

having lost my father two years ago. there is not a single word in this song that doesn't resonate with me to the deepest part of me.
probably more so than any other song i have ever heard.

The only thing I can think of to say is that I am so thankful that I live at the same time that this song exists. And that I got to be part of a universe where it exists.
It seems silly, but i've never thought that about any other song before.

lyrics

Ever since I heard the howlin' wind
I didn't need to go where a bible went
But then you know your gifts seemed heaven sent
Just lead me to a choler, dad, that's the thing

I don't know how you house the sin
But you're free now
I was never sure how much of you I could let in
And I'm free now
Won't you settle down baby here your love has been

Heavenly father
It's definitely lava
Why you don't carry other names?

Heard about a day where it dropped the know
To go another day as we learn to close

'Cause I'm a known coward in a coward wind
But you're free now
You turn around now and you count to 10
To see you go now
Well I know now honey that I can't pretend

Heavenly father
Is whose brought to his autumn
And love is left in end

I just been up here for god damn years
Can you see now?
Filling up hulls with god damn fears
I am free now
I know about it darlin', I've been standin' here

Heavenly father
Is all that he offers
A safety in the end

I lost my father in 2018 to Cancer primary, so it's been five years/ half a decade. Our relationship was loving but complicated at times. I feel the emotion in this one, even if I don't completely understand with the wordplay on first read and listen.

Sometimes feelings just cut through.
