Ed Sheeran's version of "The Parting Glass" is a song that immediately changed the way I felt about the time I had left with my friends before moving to college. The Parting Glass is a traditional Irish song about leaving a bar and drinking the last glass with your friends. I was at the bar (A.K.A my friend McKenzee's house) last Saturday with all of my best friends when I heard the song in a different way. The lyrics say "All the comrades that ever I had, they are sorry for my going away, and all the sweethearts that ever I had, they wish me one more day to stay." These lyrics are a sign of leaving for a long period of time, or possibly forever. The object of the sign was my realization that this time at the bar was the last time I would be there with all of my friends until December. The interpretant was the immediate change of my mood from cheerful and happy to sad and reflective.
