"No Hard Feelings" from the Avett Brothers reflects on dying without bitterness and letting go with a kind of peaceful clarity. The lyrics focus on facing mortality honestly, asking whether one can meet death with a clear conscience and no resentment toward others or life itself. The tone is gentle and reflective, which can make it feel like a companion for someone sitting with the reality of a limited number of remaining days.
Sorry no video link here. Still one can see this remarkable song on youtube.
When my body won't hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Will I be ready?
When my feet won't walk another mile
And my lips give their last kiss goodbye
Will my hands be steady when I lay down my fears, my hopes, and my doubts?
The rings on my fingers, and the keys to my house
With no hard feelings
When my body won't hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I've known in my life
And no hard feelings
