"I've played this more than any other song, and that says everything."

"I want this to be the last thing people hear me 'say'."

"It says what I never could."

"There's no version of my story that doesn't include this song."

"I want this to be a moment for whoever needs to grieve, properly."

"There's something about this song I've never been able to put into words."

"I want people to know I went out exactly as myself."

"This song sat with me through the darkest stretch of my life."

"I want people to know exactly who they were saying goodbye to."

"It says what I never could."

"It's the one song I'd never want to live without."

"I've played this more than any other song, and that says everything."

"This song gets it. Gets me."

"It's my way of having the last word."

"If you know this song, you know me."

"Because it's honest. No pretending. Just the truth."

"This is the song that finally let me cry when I needed to."

"It's the song that taught me grief and love are the same thing, really."

"It's the song I'd want as the final note of my story."

"It's the song I'd want carved into the memory of the day."
