Sometimes You Don't Have To Try To Remember


I Hope You're Happy
Blue October (2018)
There is no shortage of breakup songs and songs about lost love in this world, but the vast majority of them fall into one of two categories: they're either a desperate plea to win the person back, or a an angry, sarcastic rant about how glad you are that they're gone.

This song is remarkable because it is neither of those things.  It is a sweet, sincere appreciation for another human being without an ounce of meanness or hidden agenda.  It's a song that recognizes how much someone means to you, how thankful you are that they were a part of your life, and how truly glad you are that they are living a happy life.
