maybehappyending: Which song can't YOU get out of your head, firefly? 💜

I came across ‘O Children’ in 2004 and I hoarded it. I knew it would be a great song for something, but I didn’t know what. I had forgotten all about it and started listening to it because I was splitting up from my wife. I was really terrified that we were going to hurt our little boys, who were 1 and 3 at the time… There was something really uplifting about that ‘O Children’ with lyrics like “Rejoice, lift up your voice” and all that stuff. I was thinking of my kids. The lyrics are saying, “Forgive us for what we’ve done.” It started out as a bit of fun, but then there’s weeping. It was horribly on the nose for me. At the same time, it was giving me hope.

i just wanna make art      and help people.
