Here with my heart so whole, while others may be breathing
To think of their grieving
and oh my boy, don't you know that you are dear to me
You are a breath of life and a light upon the water
A light upon the water...
And oh, my love, if you only knew how I long for you
How I waste my days wishin' you would come around
Just to have you around
And what a dear, what a sweet little baby
This cannonball in the bosom of your belly
It's just a kick in your belly
And oh my God, what a world you have made here
What a terrible world, what a beautiful word
What a world you have made here
What a world you have made here
What a world you have made here
From a 9 to a 10. This song is perfect.
Just bumped my rating a notch too đ

This is about Colin's only child, a son who is autistic.

From Salon Magazine, I believe
"One of the other centerpieces, the song which gives the album its title, is the Sandy Hook song, “12/17/12.” It sounds like a truly personal reaction, as if you wrote this as an emotional pouring-out, trying to make sense of this at a time when children were on your mind."
"Yeah. Hank was a first-grader, so he was the same age as those kids. And there was even one kid who was an autistic kid, and Hank is autistic. The closer you can map your own life onto these things -- is that what makes them real? There’s something really superficial about that."
"So I'm hesitant to say that this is any kind of centerpiece because I don't think it is. And in fact, I didn't initially want to put too much of a point on the fact that it was written about that incident because I didn't feel as if I could really communicate what was happening. I don't know that I have any place trying to write a song that’s directly about what happened. I don't think it’s in my powers. I don't think I’m good enough."
"I think that that was just what a lot of people did at that time, and I think it wasn’t until hearing the names read... It took several days to process. I feel like when the names were read at that press conference, suddenly I was able to start processing it in a way that I think was helpful, in that I think a lot of people were taking stock of their own surroundings in their own world. I was doing that and wanting to bring my family closer to me and bring in the protective embrace -- but then also feeling sort of unmoored from what that pain must be for someone else."

Edit: I didn't realise it had such serious meaning, until I read the comments below - this is the first time I've heard it. Respect.
And the skirmish afoot, at certain moments, is between those who worship at the altar of statistics, and those who ritualise shared sentiment. This keeps it active, dynamic, social, endless—yet civil; we're tamed by RP, let's face it. Even those who dislike some music to such an extent that they must expend effort and energy and time to make their feelings known, with varying amounts of justification, in the medium where detailed expression occurs. Here, in other words.

It goes on, but this has a particular order to it, a balance that—to me, at least—is just about right. How do you feel?
LOL! Good to know it's not just me.... ;)

WTH? There is one negative comment in this whole thread. All the rest are incredibly positive. A 6.8 rating on RP is par for the course and an overall high grade (my rating is a 9 for this track). And yet, somehow, you are insulted by this?
Have you had your chicken nuggets covered in ketchup, all ready for a game of patty-cake?

My guess is that "Rise to Me" on The King is Dead album is also about his son. A beautiful song.

Thank you! I wondered about the meaning, so I came to these comments since I knew someone would have written about it. RPers, ya never do me wrong...

A FAQ. In answer:
Plays in last 30 days: 6
So 1 every 5 days, on average. It's a common trait with RP listeners, myself included, that we pay attention to the play rate of songs that get on our tits more than of songs we like.
I think he plays it every time there's an incident of gun violence in America. So, yeah..
Gave it a 7 just for that line.

I like their older stuff better, but never fault artists for trying to cover new ground.
