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 โ€œBefore You Go.โ€ 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 โ€œBefore You Go.โ€ย  โ€œBefore You Goโ€ references a difficult subject: suicide.ย  The lyrics are poetic and reflective throughout.

โ€œOur every moment, I start to replace
โ€˜Cause now that theyโ€™re gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say.โ€

The chorus is the crรจme de la crรจme:

โ€œSo, before you go
Was there something I couldโ€™ve said,
To make your heart beat better?
If only Iโ€™d have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I couldโ€™ve said,
To make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go.โ€

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