I had this painting nearly finished when I found this song.....
...and this song completely and beautifully sums up everything I was going through while making it: grieving the death of a friend

"Peace Come Over You"
by The Rocket Summer

Bottled up
Felt the pain before but not this much
Oh my God, it’s real.
How will I ever heal?

Here are your new eyes
It’s time to see a life with brand new sight
How could I now ever see
Positively?

It’s hard trying to hold on
With all that I have lost
It all seems so wrong
But I trust you, oh God.

It’s hard to know
When I’ll recover fully it might be slow
And what would I ever do
If I did not have you

To hold me back
From throwing in the towel and not looking back
On everything you have done
And what you’ve overcome

It’s hard trying to hold on
With all that I have lost
It all seems so wrong
But I trust in you, oh God.

So will you hold me?
As I’m crushed, my heart is in pieces
And although I’m strong when I bleed
Right now, I’m just too weak

Peace, come over you
Peace, come over you.
Feel the peace come over you
It’s all you have to do
Peace, come over you
Feel the peace come over you.
Feel the peace come over you.
It’s all you have to do.
