This song by Skynd is about Conrad Henri Roy III was an American man who died by suicide at the age of 18. His girlfriend, 17-year-old Michelle Carter, had encouraged him in text messages to kill himself. As a survivor of an attempted CO2 exit using the same method as Conrad I find this song extremely relatable. The reason for posting this now is that I'm going to drag myself out of the house and go and see the band tonight which should hopefully be a pleasant distraction.
Just because I like it.
That's a really big deal. You have an amazing connection to this song. I just happen to really like it and have for a very long time.I was supposed to add this song here!
It's very important to me and it carries a certain emotional burden for me.

It sounded from loudspeakers installed in the faculty building of my university when I was just starting my studies.
This was only the second time I appeared in this building.
From the very beginning of my studies, I was alone.
I was surrounded by people with whom I was studying - excited, making new friends, dreaming of taking advantage of all professional, academic, hobby and social opportunities offered by studies.
***
And I was alone.
Depressed that I'm different and can't be like them.
Emotionally broken, anxious, crushed by the sheer weight of my responsibilities.
***
And this entire situation was accompanied by this song...
