Your songs were there when I was happy and didn’t know how to explain it, and they were there when I was broken and didn’t have the strength to speak. Every emotion I couldn’t name, you somehow sang it for me. I’ve heard your songs while smiling alone, while crying at 2 a.m., while healing, while falling apart, while slowly finding myself again. Some songs felt like home. Some felt like wounds. Some felt like hope when I had none. I didn’t just listen to your music — I lived it. I carried it through phases of my life. Every lyric holds a memory, a moment, a version of me that once existed. So if the world ever becomes quieter without new songs from you, please know this: your voice will still echo in countless hearts like mine. Because songs like yours don’t end. They stay. They heal. They remind us we were never alone. Thank you for being the sound of my happiness, my sadness, my strength, my silence. No matter what you choose, your music will always live on."
