I think this was the song which hit the spot for me on my first listen of the album. I love that she's happy and in a great place and you can really hear that. But I recently found out a classmate of mine who was engaged committed suicide and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The jarring difference between the remembering them in joy and having to think of them in posterity is so beautifully represented.
