John Barrowman 'Tell My Father'

[theatrechicka]

@THEtyni1 I don't want to start something, but I think you saying that if 'you aren't moved to tears by this song then you have no heart' is ignorant. I am a very emotional person, however, some things that would reduce me to tears might not you. People express their emotions differently. Some people think crying is a sign of weakness, but just because they don't cry doesn't mean they are heartless. They express emotions differently. I cried the first time I heard this song, but I heard it in p

[teccrzy1]

I played this song for my mom and she was speechless and crying. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[bbraat]

What I don't like about this technically perfect version is that it sounds too polished and, perhaps, posh and, as a result, inauthentic.

[MasterZiggy92]

Oh my god, I love this song and John Barrowman. I didn't even know he sang! I just knew him from Torchwood and I'm doing this song for my vocal class! I was surprised to see him on here.

[ktownonsetdaofficial]

I sang this song at state, and my judge bursted into tears. I got a 1 :) MUCH RESPECT TO ALL THE SOLDIERS DYING FOR THEIR COUNTRY! MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES! GOD BLESS AMERICA

[LegoPro100]

Singing this in choir...truly touching and moving, especially those with sons and daughters serving in the military.

[MissisSchleifchen]

This is the most beutiful song that I ever heard T_T And I love him!!

[DavidNeff2011]

@THEtyni1 agreed. I sang this song at school and was tearing up before the end of the first stanza

[THEtyni1]

If this song doesnt bring you tears then you have no heart! God bless our soldiers!!!!

[santasam445]

Singing this for choir, i love it so much

[Rogue969]

In an honors chorus today...the tenors and basses sang this and it was so beautiful. All the sopranos (including me) and altos sat down and just listened, and the clapping rang throughout the building. I've never heard this song before today, but it is truly just outstanding...wish we'd recorded the boys' performance.

It's just a lovely song.

[TheDominionband]

I did a version of this on my youtube channel, but John is just amazing. Love this version.

[kungfu618]

My choir is singing this song, and personally, i think this song is amazing and touching.

[SopranoOfTheNight]

John Barrowman + music from The Civil War = double perfection. Amazing.

[signwalker12]

the community theatre that i'm part of does this song every memorial day weekend for a show called "A Salute to the Troops". they do this song in a three part chorus. its so beautiful and heartwarming. it makes you think about what our soldiers think about when they feel that they might not be coming back.

[lovertojackharkness]

@signwalker12 I know. For awhile this song was hard for me to listen to because of my brother Kevin going to Afghanistan...then he came home, but he was injured. He's fine now but I completely understand completely. That's so cool your town does that

[aryssa1995]

this song was played at my cousins funeral. her died in iraq.

[rrichyfetuu]

I Went To State With This Song!!!!!!

[MsGlowgirl]

every version of this song has me almost in tears but this is the first one to actually make me cry. its such an emotional song and he did it so well. I love John's voice and think he is absolutely amazing and would love to see him live one day

[samruiz12345]

Heard this song today in the Miami dade officers memorial, it's an amazing song.

[scout601]

[vegeto909]

[lobo81865]

Great song, but I prefer Sean McDermott's version.

[dominiquedv]

Beutiful voice. Hearing to it at night, it is like a lullaby.

[iluvsquirrels]

this summer i took a musical theater techniques class and one of the guys sang this song and he did such an amazing job, i cried. no offense way better then john.

[cheeseybacon1002]

You weren't perchance apart of SRO were you? I took a musical theatre techniques class too and someone sang this song (very well by the way) as well, and i didnt know if you were in it haha.

[iluvsquirrels]

actually i was. :D

[SerenLlachar123]

I first heard this song in a Singing Competition and since then i can't stop listening to it.

[beautyoverfish]

i can't hear this song without crying.

[fatstrat06]

I'm definitely gonna get flamed for this... BEAUTIFUL song, whiney singer.

[percussionprincess]

I get what you're saying. I personally like this singer, but I do prefer this particular song to be perfomed by a much richer, almost opratic voice.

[Deppsangle]

thank you for posting this,

hes so amazing, cant help

but tear up when i hear it<3

[beautyoverfish]

this sing makes me cry when he sings it.

[justinallnbob]

man... i have done a solo for this song as well. my greatest wishes for you. i say just let god sing through you. this is a song you want your audience to weep as you weep. spill your heart into. this isnt just a song, its a blessing.

[TheNGandDylanshow]

Beautiful song. I love singing it. Its so sad.

[TxZproductions]

My dad royal reed was the original person to sing this song in the first civil war

[jorduvall]

good for u

[broadwaydad1]

Royal's version on "The Civil War" concept CD is unforgettable! By far the best version ever recorded.

[jorduvall]

alright everyone who is talking about doing this with their choir is right that version does sound better but the reason it does is not who sings it its the harmony used and the men's choir is doing this song for a national competition with harmony we made up it sounds good becausee theres more voicies this song was actually made for a solo tho in the musical civil war so stop sayin how great your music is and appreciate the solo lol

[supermimz]

Mint Song :)

Which CD is it from?

[lovertojackharkness]

Reflections From Broadway (any of his cd information should be in the side bar)

[4260laurel]

great cd.......there are a few songs I don't know where they come from but are just super

[pinkandvampires]

The men's chorus at my school sang this song and I started crying!

[art2w0nder]

my class in choir is doing this it actually better then the make lol im sorry to say if u live in illinois u should come by and listen

[trina618]

Do you go to GHS? lol.

[MCVTerry]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful, moving song.

[VOLUNTEERSown]

this guy is amazing

[iaminthburg]

I'm glad he's put these cuts onto youtube, because I'd never know that Barrowman's a singer as well as a tv actor.

[aappleton218]

Such a moving song and performance by John. He is a talened man. Wish to sing with him one day.

[bitmasala]

love this video.beautiful song

[mairanya1]

Thank you - this gives me goosebumps - lovely song, performance and video-clip. I'm in Australia and got to know these beautiful songs and even John Barrowman himself through YouTube. I've been looking for the music to buy but would never have come across it otherwise.

[goldraine]

I don't understand how this would be infringing copyrights... I'm sure no one would think to sue or take down a video with audio quality like this. Still a beautiful song, regardless. One of the quintessential tenor solos, I'd say.

[profdorkinstien]

Beautiful voice, great tones and amazing feeling when performing this song, time and showing a great deal of delicateness, good job, Cheers.

[janelapoule]

I love this song. Johns voice works brilliantly with it.

[gramcatb]

This is my favorite, he sings from his heart and soul!! Thanks for sharing!!

[totallyactr18]

ps, what cd is this?

[janelapoule]

Reflections From Broadway I think :)

[NotaFro]

this is a great song!

john barrowman is the best - love him!

[lovertojackharkness]

I am not taking money from John, people have already told me that by publishing these on Youtube, it's helped make up their minds to go buy the cds. I am doing this because I remember when I wanted to hear the songs before I bought it, and yet I couldn't find any of the songs. I'm sorry this seems to bother you, but if anything I'm helping John make more money, because of the amount of people who have told me their gonna buy the songs.

Beccs! ^_^

[wngFangel]

I'm glad you posted these songsm because I never would have heard them otherwise. I know now, that not only is John and fantastic actor, but a brilliant singer as well. So thank you!
