Being raised in the church, gospel hits me harder than any genre to this day. You give me a good organ and I'm already starting to tear up. But being told "we're gonna be okay" during this period of my life broke me down completely. I heard this for the first time and sobbed in my car at an intersection.

@aeormusic

Man i'm literally sobbing here at my living room rn
