discussion I’m grieving a family member loss, and this Bey song hits so hard

[fememeist]

I recently loss my cousin who was like my best friend to me, and I was listening to music to help me grieve while looking at memorabilia + photos, and I burst into tears when I was listening to Beyoncé’s self titled and this song came up:

 

 

Despite the lyrical content suggesting something different, I feel this song is so melancholic and is even more somber than Bey’s Heaven, even though that song directly addresses losing a love one.

 

Does anyone get that same vibe from this song? 

[Devin]

me with Heaven, sorry for ur loss.

[Strawberry Bubble]

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Sending you a big hug and lots of strength during this moment of sadness.

With Heaven, I feel like Bey’s conveying the sense of letting go of your loved ones in your sadness to be happy, but with Blue, I feel like I’m desperately trying to hold onto my cousin, as if she’s still here and that it’ll be okay. I know it sounds crazy and everything will be okay…

I'm so sorry for your loss. But that's a beautiful song to remember them by. Sending you love  I'm the same with Heaven, All Night and Halo. Beautiful songs.

Hope you find some comfort in Blue and I am incredibly sorry for your loss, may you find strength through this

I’m sorry for your loss, I’m happy you can find some solace and light in this beautiful song. It’s one of my favorites too

I’ve mentioned it before in the Basé, but this imo is her most underrated song and by far her best closing track. The video is so wholesome and genuine too. The bridge is what really gets you. It’s just so perfect and one of many reasons why ST remains her best album. I send my condolences
