This week’s cover is very close to my heart. I chose "In the Stars" by Benson Boone, a song that carries so much emotion, it's a song about loss, about missing someone who is no longer here. For me, this song is dedicated to my dad, who has passed away.
Every word, every note feels like a way to express the pain of losing someone you love, yet keeping their memory alive. This song gives voice to the emotions I often feel but find hard to put into words. It’s a tribute to the love and memories I still hold on to, even though he’s no longer physically here.
In the competition this week, I wanted to bring something deeply personal, something that reflects a part of me. "In the Stars" feels like the perfect choice, a reminder that, even though our loved ones may be gone, they’re still with us in so many ways.
Lyrics
Sunday mornings were your favorite
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road
You did your hair up like you were famous
Even though it's only church where we were goin'
Now, Sunday mornings, I just sleep in
It's like I buried my faith with you
I'm screamin' at a God I don't know if I believe in
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever
And now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
And left the rest in pieces
Diggin' through your old birthday letters
A crumpled 20 still in the box
I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it
Even if it's the last 20 that I've got, oh
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever
And now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
And left the rest in pieces
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), holdin' on (on)
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), holdin' on (on)
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), I'm still holdin' on (on)
I'm still, ooh, still holdin' on
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone (ooh)
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever (ooh)
Now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
Left the rest in pieces
Thank you for stopping by 😊
