  • This song is very sad i heard it years ago but just heard the song again. My son died on April 7, 2011, at the age of 24 he had everything going for him. He had a beatiful family with 2 young boys. He is missed very much he was my best friend! He was my hero, I learned so much from Cody

    I miss him so much.

  • We had joy,we had fun,we had streaking in the sun,

    but the cops,with their guns,always shot us in the buns.

    (a little something that made the rounds of my grade-schoolyard in '74)

  • Awesome song

  • mi papa murio hace 2 anos... Te extrano PAPA!!!!!

  • Always been a favourite of mine since I was a young age.

    Love how you've put it all together.

  • Pure art...like the music give birth to images and images make place for the music. Great vision.

  • its better when westlife sings it

  • This is sad song....I always cry when I hear this song......

  • I feel pain in my throat every time i listen to this song, it's so sad... but very beautiful.

  • Now I wish I hadn't clicked my way here. This song is so sad it is gut wrenching. I shouldn't listen to it anymore. Sorry to everyone here that lost love ones.

  • Just like everyone says .... I remember this song as a kid, everyone loved it. But the older you get, it really has more of an impact as you can understand and relate to the song - and have empathy for the singer. It has to be one of the saddest (and beautiful) songs of all time.

  • This song reminds me of my uncles burial,i just kept hearing this song in my head. I couldn't stop myself from crying,and he died in spring too =(

  • All the world is a stage, and each in their time may play many parts.

  • I was driving to work this morning and heard this song on the radio. This was a song that I used to like when it first came out, but it took on a new signifiscience today as I thought of my friend Ernie who is now coming to terms with terminal cancer.

  • topplaat

  • my son died nov.2 2007 accident in the freeway,a day beafore a fried gime a cd whit this song, i miss my son and i hope seen my son soon.

  • @padillasbarbershop , Im so sorry to hear this. It is amazing what songs can do with our emotions.

  • @padillasbarbershop I am sorry for the loss of your son. I know how you feel, I lost a son in 1993 due to a babysitter. He was 18 months old when he drowned in an irrigation ditch.

    I love this song and I have since the first time i heard it when i was a little girl. It is sad and beautiful all at the same time.

  • My good friend and neighbour died last week and I am so utterly heartbroken.

    R.I.P BRIAN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • @Luvmypets123 I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless.

  • @Luvmypets123 m so sorry 4 ur loss.. ;( 

  • @Luvmypets123 Luvmypets123 sometimes God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about himself. He is a very vengeful God, Luvmypets123. He's all pissed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes.Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Do you understand?

  • @Stinkface2 WTF is rong wit u! GOD is love, things happen 4 a reason(a very good reason) and he only knows y....we'll never know why because GOD works in mysterious ways. And he DOES NOT take those closest 2 us jus cuz it makes him feel better, GOD is NOT vengeful! AND he DOES CARE ABOUT US VERY MUCH! sometimes people die cuz GOD doesnt want them 2 keep suffering. BUT REMEMBER 1 THINGS...GOD IS LUV ND GOD LUVS ALL OF US VERY MUCH ND IT DUSNT MATTER WHO U R AS LONG AS U REPENT ON WAT U'VE DONE

  • @VampGirlAndJustinB That's a BIG negatory there. Here is just a few reasons why. (FYI, I own several bibles. The king James, the new international version, and revised english bible)

    Gen. 3.16 Unto the woman he said I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. In sorrow thou shall bring forth children and they desires shall be to thy husband and shall rule over thee.

  • @VampGirlAndJustinB Gen.6.5 And God saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

    Gen.6.7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth both man and beast and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.

  • @VampGirlAndJustinB Gen 22.1 And it came to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

    Gen.22.2And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest and get thee into the land of Mo-ri'-ah and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

    Exodus 20.3 Thou shalt have no other God before me.

  • @VampGirlAndJustinB Exodus 20.5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God and a Jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.

    Does this sound love? I say it sounds like Vengeance, it sounds like Pain. Why would a god whom claims to be our Father kill his children for their Choices in life?

  • @Luvmypets123 R.I.P

  • I think that is because our live is SO EASY

  • i like this song too much

  • watched your videos and wish i was that good, you seem pretty good hehe, you should watch mine and tell me what you think and any suggestions on songs i could sing

  • Dad died in 1973. The first time I heard it was almost exactly one year after my dad died. I was 14 at the time my little sister was 8 and my brother was 16.

    Pretty girls are everywhere makes me think of my mom and me and my sister, Think of me and I'll be there makes me think of dad. Little children everywhere when you see them I'll be there makes me think of me and my siblings Good by Micele my little one makes me think of my little sister

    Still hard to listen to for me, but I love it.

  • @sarygmith1 I am so sorry that must have been hard to lose your Dad at such at young age, I am sure he is proud of you, and is still watching over you from heaven. God Bless.

  • This was my Mom's favorite song when I was in High School (1974)! We used to sing it together in the car on the way to school, when it would come on the radio & other times!! She loved this song for years. We have hope beyond this life, & God is coming for us soon! We will live together forever, Mom! We will enjoy the SON forever!! I love you!!! Love Connie

  • One of my Mom's favorite songs when I was in High school. 1974. You are going & are missed so very much! But we have a hope! To be together forever! God's coming for us soon!! Love Connie

  • reply- michel

  • nice but i dont get the story behind it

  • Gosh, this song makes me cry! :(

  • *pats on back* its all right (lol)

  • depressing

  • I LIKE DIS SONG ALOT... IT'S SORED OF SAD,IT REMINDS ME WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL(11/12YRS) NOW I'M 35 and it brings back alot of memories;)

  • I'm 35 and I remember listening to the 45 record that was actually my older Brothers so I was about 9 when I first heard it. Speaking of 45 Records and Albums and genral my 11 year old daughter asked me Mommy what is a record lol.

  • I am about to leave my country for 5 months and this song came up in my mind. It is so mucg like what I feel. It is spring and I have to leave everything behind. But it's still consoling that I am not going to die, just go for some time and then will be back... :_S

  • Our little ones won't fit in our hearts because they mean a lot for us when they say good bye.

  • my brother used to play this song on a 45 when i was lil cuz he knew i would always cry when i heard it lol

  • wonderful song and video, very nice!

  • this song is very beautiful..

    but also very sad

  • This is kinda embarrasing but everytime i hear this i feel like i wanto hug everyone i ever cared about

  • i think it's supposed to do that.......

  • i think belle and sebestian stole this hook .

  • truly a sad song i always cry when i hear this song

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, exactly - I want this song to be played at my funeral. And I hope I will live a long life feeling more kind of sensitive to life itself after this song. Beauty of live and in personal relations are so vulnerable, they worth being charished

  • listen to this song and think of the weight it would have to every person who has lost a son, or a brother, or a lover. Consider war, and the reasons we kill each other. How much pain and suffering do we cause, or allow. feel the beauty around you and then you know what is worth killing for, or dying for. It is the chance that all should have to appreciate it. to find their purpose. it is not for government or political beliefs. first save all men from death, then work to add to each, more life.

  • thank you is such a small word but it is all that fits . Marla

  • This song is eerie,, about death???

  • aww I cry every time i hear it :( its sad but beautiful

  • wonderful song

  • But he died very early

    love the song!

  • This was a song about a guy who had lived a full and happy life, a bit wild, but diagnosed with a rare disease ..A wonderful song! The song "LIVE LIKE YOU ARE DYING" was written on the aftermath of this song. Both popular in their years/time

  • crying purges the soul....

  • Now with the risk of sounding increadibly un-manly.

    Tis song allways makes me cry.

  • You don't sound un-manly at all. A real man shows his emotions, and is not afraid to show them.

  • Still, its not exactly the axepted social norm.

    I first heard this song a feew weeks after my cat that i had since i was born.

  • @Sweddude Man I cann't remember how old I was when I first heard this song. I'm 40 now and it still brings a tear to my eye. I seen the shit, and been through hell. When you cry it shows your heart still works. Don't let the world take that from you. Cassie is right, a real man don't care what others think. If they don't like it they can go suck eggs.

  • @05211970 i was... 15 wen i heard this song? im 17 now =P

  • thanks buddy .......................

  • this lyrics a guy wrote them who suicide and the made it a song

  • As a kid, i listened to this song on long trips with my mother and father. Always fearing to lose them, i cried back then to this song. Many years later, it still has the same effect.
