Ah, Somber Sunday perfectly captures the end of the weekend with its sadness, disappointment, and look towards yet another mad Monday. On Somber Sunday, May 24, 2020, Lewis Capaldi delivers “Before You Go.” which hails from the deluxe edition of his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.

The deluxe edition of Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent adds three additional songs with the crown jewel being “Before You Go.”  “Before You Go” references a difficult subject: suicide.  The lyrics are poetic and reflective throughout.

“Our every moment, I start to replace
‘Cause now that they’re gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say.”

The chorus is the crème de la crème:

“So, before you go
Was there something I could’ve said,
To make your heart beat better?
If only I’d have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could’ve said,
To make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go.”

Capaldi wishes he could’ve prevented the devastating event, a feeling that many people feel when someone they know and loved commits suicide.
