The Ultimate Song of Goodbye



Moreena recommended this artist, Lhasa de Sela.  (Unless you understand French, skip to ~1:27.) I may never be happy again.*

*UPDATED:  My Beloved defines artistry as the ability to take a thought or emotion and to put it into another person's head.  Like magic, a playwright, for example, can make you feel hatred, excitement, jealousy, etc.  This woman, Lhasa de Sela, by that definition, is an artistic genius because this song makes me feel like I am saying goodbye forever to the greatest love I've ever known while simultaneously realizing that it was the greatest love I'll ever know.


According to youtube commentator, MaitreMenator , she says:

the next song is a love song and the lyrics say:I thank your body to have waited for me
I had to lose myself to get to you.
I thank your arms for reaching me
I had to move away to get to you.
I thank your hands for supporting me
I had to burn to get to you.
