This song is so sad!!

[dancingrules1]

I Am In Tears Right Now! So Terribly Sad! RIP Adam Cook!!!!<3

[MrSinger38]

R.I.P Andrew Cook have a great life in heaven

[Nascarboy426]

I remember the first time I ever heard this song...June 19, 2009. My mom popped the David Cook CD in the car when we went down the shore and this song came on...I was just blown away. This guy is amazing. Really.

[pia79]

my God God bless andrew and may the Lord shine on adam's soul as he walks through heaven. my dear im sorry but andrew cook is still alive and well let us all pray for david's family. its his other brother adam who died. everytime i ger to hear david's voice with this song it always always makes me cry. remembering my parents who also had passes! take care too all of u out there!

[Azelf3]

@pia79 aww thats just sad, all the best, my boy!

[tamemesheba]

He is awesome. I listened over and over to this song when I went through cancer, surgery, and chemo. This song and other songs of his helped me alot

[ALICIAAROL1]

God do I love this beautiful man. I stood up and cheered when he became the first alternative rocker to win American Idol.

[EmanNaguib8]

Stunnig! <3

[assiedou]

this song is magical

[KellyyxMabbitt]

it wasn't Andrew Cook who died, it was Adam.

Adam is David's older brother and Andrew is his younger brother.

[CHINLEE1231]

this song is cooolllllll!!!!!

[ericksonboang]

pag sure chinlee XD

[Comonguysdontbemad]

He will be the Bon Jovi of our generation.

[FallOfMind]

@Comonguysdontbemad bon jovi is a fucking shemale, david cook is like a male kelly clarkson.

[D3MO09]

Grande musica ..toca me bastante pois passei pelo mesmo ao que a cancao se refere

[AngelVera69]

toca msm..é me impoxivel ouvir esta musica sem xorar....

[bloodlessgurl]

.love it..!

[3jaythree3]

UPDATE: Well, after badgering WMG and UMG for a while, they came to the conclusion that I can keep my video up here because I'm not profitting from it; and WMG decided to let us Youtubers keep posting our videos!

Cheers ^_^

[ellenpompeo0]

Awesome song :)

one of my faves by David :)

-Julia :)

[gddy2]

that's make me cry o0_0o

[Brimbote10]

sory my ingles

[Brimbote10]

noo this is the best song of didication to some un

how is especial to was

[3jaythree3]

Okay... I've come to get a dilemma. I'm probably going to have to delete this video due to the insane copyright claims flying around Youtube. Sorry, guys :(

[olb852]

whuuut....can you not...DD:

[solace00assassin]

too bad, this was a very touching song

[IanEubanks]

NOOOO!!!

[3jaythree3]

That's the thing... it's either I take it off or Youtube suspends my account. I'll see if I can keep it on and if they give me an email to take it off, I most likely have to. Boycott them, not me, lol.

[IanEubanks]

yeah lol i mean if you got to you got to.

[gabriieladiiaz]

i LOVE this song!

[Fa99024460]

esse cara manda mto bem..

[IanEubanks]

AMAZING song :D

[16dyx]

this song changed my life

[SingerGirl148]

I think music is up for interpretation. While the song is written about and for David's brother, (beautifully, I might add) someone else might see it as written about God, or something else. That's what makes music so beautiful and magical. It's personal. <3

[shadowOFcrow]

I LOVE HIS FACE IN THE PICTURE!! XD

[Rayaaaanxoxo]

this song is beautifully sung and written

i found out its about his brother who died from a brain tumor :( its so sad

[hotdragon323]

really good song

[saulalover72852]

CARRIE UNDERWOOD && DAVID COOK are the BEST AMERICAN IDOL winner =D

[beautifullybroken012]

David Cook is amazing.

I love this song.

It's so deep. It's sad, but there's still a sort of hopefulness.. Maybe not from David's point of view, but hope from his brother, for him.. If you know what i'm trying to say.

[MRanville]

its about life

[BillieJeanne777]

is this about God?

[ashhhuhhhlee]

no, it's about his brother that died of brain cancer.

[chantysarry]

I just posted a video of this song...it was really hard to sing, it has a very deep meaning...could you guys check it out and tell me what you think?

[80cupcakes]

beautiful <3

god bless every body :)

[eightfold23]

OMG.. I like the lyrics of the song..

[sethsakeeper]

God rest he soul, I have never thought about anyone else when I hear this song untill today when I saw momma's picture and it was like getting the call all over again....

[purduerulez33]

my uncle was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer last summer and is expected to live for only 3-5 years so this song reminds me of him very sad

[tamemesheba]

I had colon cancer last summer they did surgery and I went through chemo for 6 months. I hope your uncle gets through this. We all have to fight this together

[purduerulez33]

well hes on chemo and they are tryin everythin and half of its gone sooo thanks

[tamemesheba]

I have a friend that has cancer and is expected to live for about 3 months. I sent this song to him. I also got diagnosed with cancer last year and went through chemo and doing good so far. I love this song and the words and his voice

[zanessaandjobrosable]

[TripleXXXDudeF0rEvEr]

his brother died

[cami0360]

today is the anniv of my 20 year old son Robs passing. Thank you David for such a beautiful song. He was a drummer, guitarist and singer/song writer. This song has so much meaning for all of us who have lost loved ones who touched the hearts of so many. His only sibling my daughter Sydney (10) finds a sense of comfort each time she hears this song as do I, espec today. Our hearts go out to those families who received his organs. And our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always Ty

[McR328]

i did cry when i heard this! I had never really listened to the lyrics and they are very emotional!:( the line that made me cry was,' will you think that you are all alone when no one is there to hold your hand?'

[TeamXtreme66]

i cry everytime i hear this song i stated balling wen he sang this at american idol

[JoBrosRox12]

me 2! He is soo talented, only a talented artist can reach so many people with a 3:45 song. I have been his fan since day one. Adam will be missed by every Cook fan out there.

[JoBrosRox12]

Not 3:45  but however long it is.

[TeamXtreme66]

yup i agree this is an awesome song

[sophie91666]

sorry guys i think i missed something since american idol is not on greek tv... :(  who is adam???

[Allyson941]

adam was david cook's brother that just recently died of brain cancer.

if you buy this song off of i tunes, all proceeds go to brain cancer research

[sophie91666]

i see... thx 4 the info..!! :)

[JoBrosRox12]

Adam was David's Brother. He was the one that told David to audition, he had brain cancer, and he passed away. David wrote this song for him.

[ACDC7912]

This song is amazing. I love you David! You are a amazing singer! Never change!! You are awesome!! <3

[ChandelleDumond]

This song brings back memories of my grandfather. the last time I saw him alive was on Halloween 08. We sat together and talked for a while. I could see he was in pain and he was dying but I didn't want to believe it. 7 days later my dad came home and told me he passed away. He was suffering from lung cancer. I miss him so much.

R.I.P Pepere, I love you

[Sabrina12993]

this song is so difficult for me to listen to.

As a diehard david cook fan, i can't stand that he hurts.

Bad things happen to good people, i pray to God his brother gets well...He needs his brother, without him he'll be devastated

[panda85222]

I am so worried about life and this song is so good and he is so amazing

[nickjgirl456]

luv this song

This song reminds me of my grandma who died back in `01. It's been 8 yrs but i remember every detail like it was earliar today.... The last time i saw her was when we drove to the hospital. It was on such a huge hill that i thought we were going to heaven.... but only she was. we went inside. They couldnt let us in her room, so we stood outside the room. There she was, lying on the bed, on an air pumper thing. her heart beat went beep beep beep beeeeeeeee... i never saw her again

[mileyrox555]

omg thx sooooo much 4 tryin out 4 idol!!u r my idol(second behind twilight lol)sry bout ur bro this song rox!!!!!!!

[rangerlover19]

im glad ur brother convinsed u 2 come on american idol! ur my american idol david and ur songs just have so much meaning behind them!!!!!!!

[lostloveletter116]

Amazing...Zach i dedicate this song to you! i love you so much! Love3ternal! <3 and props to David because he is amazing and is living up to his quote from the CD "I'm going to show you why you put me here" Well brava David!

[KaityKAPOW]

remindss me of nick jonas ?

[lostloveletter116]

You mean the sound or something he would sing?

Because i dont see it. No offense just curiouis as to what it is that you mean.

[chipssahoyy]

yeah, this doesn't remind me of nickjonas (lyrics or voice).

[commongsava]

great song...

but i have suggestion

it would be more soulful

if he will sang it in acoustic version...

slow version...with soft vocal and the outcome is a PERMANENT HIT!!!

i love the message of the song...

[chadley25]

"but i have suggestion

it would be more soulful

if he will sang it in acoustic version..."

____________

I think you might be confused about the actual meaning of the word "acoustic." This accompaniment is a 15-piece string ensemble, nothing more. That's about as acoustic as you can get. Maybe you mean just less accompaniment altogether? That would be good, too.

My only criticism of the song is that it's almost TOO short!!

[alteregosuzy]

Do you mean acapella?

[ArchCaRxXX]

this is very touching. go David! love you and archie

[lostKiaos]

I wish to know more... What happened to his brother? Forgive me for not knowing...

[3jaythree3]

It's alright. His brother Adam has cancer, localized in the brain, and he's had it for 11 years. This song was written for him.

[lostloveletter116]

Okay we forgive you just the one time though ^_* Don't let it go to your head or anything...

[saunece]

For those who dont know, this song was written for his brother.

[BarcaGurl96]

i lv this song 2 bits! its calm nd peaceful but sad nd cool at da same time!

[Sarttimi]

omg....that was absolutely beautiful. wow....im crying, that does not happen alot unless the song is amazing and really gets to me. taht was amazing. his vocals were great as well

[KINGMAN5191]

great song, incredible voice u can really feel his emotion

[xoRYSx05xo]

omg this song is da saddest :( bbut i loveeeeeees it!

[hyperiscool]

i love this song it makes me cry every time i hear it. it reminds me of my grandma <3<3

[Syahmee4all]
