TELQORIN – THE WORDS I ALMOST GAVE HIM | Official Audio

As a boy, he heard “You’re okay” and “Be strong.” The people who said it may have meant to comfort him. Still, those words stayed with him, long after he stopped noticing they were there. Years later, his own son falls. The familiar answer reaches his mouth before he can think. This time, he stops halfway through it and stays with his son instead.

But you don’t have to be yet.” Has a phrase from your childhood ever sounded different when you heard yourself say it? You’re welcome to share, if you’d like.
