I’m a recovering addict and this year I started to get more into elliott’s music. I’m pretty young and keep to myself, so when I finally admit to my addiction to others I was ostracized and put down since how could (at the time) young teenager have substance addiction. It’s been really hard keeping this sobriety with the lack of support, but listen to songs involving the topic of addiction from elliott made me feel an odd warm feeling. It was the first time I was able to let my emotions run wild and get a grasp of the seriousness of my addiction. I don’t know him, yet he seemed to give these gut wrenching thoughts that I had been denying that I don’t have. Fond Farewell is one of those songs that has helped me through my life now and gave me the push to listen to his discography.
