WHY DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF CHURCH????

[tootiefruitie07]

Why is there a puppy in the clouds.....

[Juxapose4ever]

There was always something special about this song since I heard it as a child. This song is still amazing to this day, and will always be until the end of time.

[cupcakes87271]

[Slambergal]

i've never seen a vid with this many views, but with this few likes XD

[ElsassAlsace]

I didn´t know this song and then I heard it in a nintendo-wii-game of my brother. I loved it since the first second. But in my opinion, the version without a voice is better.

[nanahoa]

[Berryxuixin]

Anyone know how to change the Night Silencer on the grandfather clock? the night silencer that is set on my grandfather clock is when it hit 10:00 PM it will stop chime until 7:00 Am how i change the night silencer to stop at the chime at 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM i sleep very early so i don't want to go to my clock every day to silence it during night. Is there a way? Please reply back thank you very much!

Such a touching song, don't you think?

[TheVilllageIdiot]

I loved this song as a child and only 20 years later, did I realize how depressing this song is.

[NYSportsfan87]

Makes me miss a toy I had when I was younger. Wind up clock, I really miss it :(

[nhathoangcabrina]

dis me hat ngu

[tweedy151]

This song makes me sad. My dad used to sing it to me on car journeys. Years later, I had a Japanese 'friend' in my car with me and I sang this song. To my amazement, she started singing it in Japanese. 

[nikaruu222]

@tweedy151 I LOVE THAT VERSION!!!

[Adelaide6986]

It would have been better if you'd shown the man and the clock in the clouds without disappearing.

[RollDeep1000]

I used to sing this song as a child in elementary school and I want to dedicate it to my grandfather who passed away on Wednesday this week and was buried today Sunday. Cherish the time you have with your grand parents folks. Rest In Peace Grandpa.

[mirandy2007]

Nice song!Best Song Evar!

[BelieveInMiracles05]

my mummy used to sing this to me = )

[Kram2125]

[tsuchan1]

Thanks Sen, I enjoyed that! (^_^)/

[yellowprincess1234]

I love this song

[KakujiYuki]

Thumbs up if you cried without realising when you hear the song

[Calebtheunknowned]

Thumbs up if you tried looking up this song,After watching that one episode of The Twilight Zone

[TurtleShroom]

Hey, has anyone here heard of the "Clock of the Long Now"? It's a massive timepiece tower that is set to function seamlessly for ten thousand years. They're stuffing it away in a West Texas mountain to prevent wear and tear, and it's really amazing.

I read about it recently and immediately thought of this song.

[JoaoFernandz]

12 people like Justin Bieber,Friday and are mother fuckers

[withnail555]

My Mum use to sing this when I was little and I remember finding it incredibly sad, even as a small child. 

[VeenaNM]

Don't know why I always end up crying when I listen to this song!. Great!!! Tks

[agenta777]

This brings great memories back. In the 50's on new years eve in Cardiff my father would sing this song as we would visit houses in Manor Way Whichurch after he had had a few drinks with all the neighbours.

[emc4you]

Egt Leuk! Ik geef een 10+++ echt leuk

[paultom123456]

grand fathers are ok

[aladejay]

this reminds of elementary school!

[aa6757]

this reminds me of church

[AmunRa1]

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night

An alarm that for years had been dumb

And we knew that his spirit was plumbing for flight

That his hour of departure had come.

Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime

As we silently stood by his side

But it stopped, short,

Never to go again, when the old man died.

[mcdonaldsdiamond]

my godmother sang this to me when i was little <3 and the other good songs(:

[bpablo1829]

:'(

[Joeykm1972]

[GirlyIpodTouch]

My grandfather died when I was 2. Though I didn't really know him I love him dearly :) all my family says that I have the same looks and personality as him, if only I could see it for myself.

[pakiewayay]

Grandfather's Clock is sleep

[NickCheduoRebel]

the flash animation is beautiful, and the song is classic...it's a grand song and reminds me of my Granddad...

[ComradeMorshu]

We've all got a clock like that with our name on it.

[WiltTheStiltThirteen]

beautiful

[stranger52699]

my grandfather's cock was always played before I sleep

[maxcardun]

@stranger52699 CLOCK sir CLOCK!!! O_O

[Damjan547]

Morbid!

[anytaluz]

It made me cry O.o

[1316bmx]

@anytaluz  wow pussy

[LanakilaIesu]

I always liked this song because it sounds like the story of a man whose life was probably stable and very kind to him - 90 years spent with this beloved clock his parents apparently bought...a grandchild who had loved him and known him well enough to tell his story...someone with him when he died who knew him well enough and had enough presence of mind to notice that he and the clock stopped at the same time...sounds like a good life. I hope I'm that blessed.

[Flehwah]

I heard this song on Wii music and that was the worst game ever.

[rossyxan]

Don't make yourselves too sad - the old man was ninety when he died after all, pretty good innings, good long life :)

[bigfoot439]

i love this song i enjoy it

[TheFashion554]

SO sad!

[reangerer]

I used to go to sleep to this song

[killerofmankind999]

my grandafather's cock

[brats817]

This song was inspired by a true story 100 years ago. Two Jenkins brothers managed George otel in England. The hotel had purchased a longcase clock that had perfect time each day, an unusual trait of these usually inaccurate clocks. The day one brother died, the clock slowed down. Repairs failed. The very minute the last brother died, the clock stopped, never to run again. No repairs. This also inspired the term "grandfather clock". All lyrics to this song can be found on wikipedia.

[Jm4steam]

@brats817 So is this where Henry Clay Work got his Idea for the poem? (1876)

[brats817]

@Jm4steam That is correct. It's a true story. It is what inspired this song.

[rihoko6]

wow, this song brings back memory.

[mdyankee55]

There are at least two other verses to this song that I came across at one time. I also think of my own grandfather when I hear this song...it really is rather poignant.

[brats817]

Awww poor old man, poor clock. :( So sad, but at least they shared a great bond and are now in heaven together.

[TheMrTomBell]

Nice one, I have just done a banjo and uploaded as mp3. I love this song! :)

[msKatie1103]

my cousin and i played this song on my grandfathers BIRTHDAY..

awkward. ;D

[MsSmartypants96]

:S this is so sad...why did they make this a childs nursery rhyme?

[Funkyfamily5]

...i have this song on wii music...so sad...

[boink313]

ah sad grandpa :)

i never knew my granddad he died 19 years before i was born :(

[707xVAMPIRE]

this was my favorite song when i was in second grade

[Joeykm1972]

They don't actually play the song in the Twilight Zone. They mention it, however in an episode. However, in American Mc Gee's Alice, it is played as part of the "I'm not Edible" composition.

[cinemma1]

Thumbs up if you first heard this on the twilight zone.

[jessamynhopewest]

Damn this is close to the version I learned as child, but not quite

[Quamlen]

I'm 33 years old and I find this very beautiful, so beautiful I almost cried.

[Edenlyspirit]

All the man died. Better old, than young

[MsKoffeekat]

thats sad but it was a sweet ending he got to be with the clock and watch it forever

[lovelylovely59]

My baby son is very like this tune and animation^^ I watching the animation with baby

[LittleMissAngel29]

I had a babysitter when I was small, and she used to sing this song for me. I had forgotten it until my little brother started playing it on cello... I burst into his practice room one day when he was playing and screamed at him that our old babysitter used to sing it for us... when he played it again I sang it with him and about halfway through he just about dropped his cello! Funny how you remember things from childhood so vividly.

[Homestonearts]

Great I searched for such a video so long and finally I found it.

Well done. Great animation :D Thumbs up

[1000dartman]

Very nice...

[alfred78222]

this song brings back memories of a toy wind up grandfather clock I had when I was about 4 or 5 years old! now I'm 44, damn time flies!!!

[maline985]

i love this song...................

[mimimorningglory]

beautifully sung!

[mooney003]

its a lil' sad

[NatsubasaFei]

it's sad...

[MoonlightXButterfly]

this song reminds me exactly of my grandfather.

they called him the clock man

rest in peace grandpa harry <3

[Dappledleaves]

My grandfather died a few months ago... I miss him so much. He liked to fix things and build stuff for my mom and her sisters...

[obamasucksdick99]

what a beutiful song...it makes you think about how beutiful the world can be

[RaidenTatsu]

Aww, this is such a beautiful song, but it's so sad! Oh, the Japanese version should be in the "related videos." I especially like that version; it's a little longer.

My maternal grandfather died before I was born, and my paternal grandfather died when I was in six grade. T_T I really miss them~!! DX

[EMMALAVERNE]

They NEVER are gone if U still remember the clock!!!!

[soyperiodista]

This song made me tear up. Cute video though!

[GorgonBull35]

We sang this in choir this year, I liked this song

[redturtle00]

Wow that is really sad but for an odd reason its inspiring (poor old man...well he did get to keep his clock)

@babyjunandme look up Johnny Cash singing this song here on utube.He does an awesome job and look up the lyrics in wikipedia under my grandfathers clock.My father,who passed away 2 years ago,used to sing this song to all of us kids when we were little,and he sang it to my children.Its a bittersweet song,but it was my Daddy's song..,I am now 52.

[fishdarf]

[stadalberts]

Makes you want to cry.............

[miileeme]

well done... this song has always been one of the most touching ones i've heard...though i had always heard Larry Groce's version, the one that's in disney's children's favorite songs collection... see if you can get that one some where.... it's a beautiful song... and try having the whole version

[AmunRa1]

... a clock actually stopped on the day of my Grandfather's death...

It wasn't a grandfather clock, and it was small enough for the shelf... and it was battery powered and wasn't bought on the day he was born... but you get the idea.

[pinkstarflower]

wow I'd forgotten the lyrics of this song since the last time I heard it was when I was about four...

this is such a sad song!!! T_T

[mymelodyloveful]

lol,the clock and the old man went to heaven lol!!!!!!!!!!!

[afanoftheclassics]

nice!

[rydag11]

Great deep voice

[Bluey306]

I remember learning this song when I was very young, and I didn't know why but I always felt like crying at the part "and it stopped. short. never to go again when the old, man, died."

[el84oro]

the song makes me sad, lovely song

[keldon96]

cool i play oboe and my friends play flute and they are playing this on flute at a concert, we are in 6th grade, they wanted me to play with them but I wasn't ready to play grandfathers clock on oboe, because I was overpowering the flutes, I was to loud compared to them.

[yahuui]

what a lovely version of the song. lovely voice too.

[4444tati]

i know how to play this on piano COOL

[gbnnn]

i can't understand what he is saying in some parts. :/

[AECEntertainment]

my grandfathers clock was too large for the shelf so it stood ninety years on the floor

it was taller by half than the old man himself though it weight not a penny weight more

it was bought on the morn of the day that he was born and was allways his treasure and pride

but it stopped...short...never to go again when the old man died!

ninety years without slumbering tk tk tk tk

his life seconds numbering tk tk tk tk it stopped...short...never to go again when the old man died!

[gbnnn]

thanks :-)

[AECEntertainment]

not a problem

i love this song

[DaredevilFan1]

Wish I new my grandfather he passed on before my parents married so we never got the chance and my other granddad died when my father was a child. :(

[violinist881]

my niece loves this song. thanks for posting

[islamsucksallah]

Such a profound message in this song that pertains to us all.

[cheldvm]

my son and i love this song. good video!

[xNiKKixThExCuTiEx]

i love this song

[kerbal666]

You make the old man look dignifiend in death. I can only wish the same for myself!

[hiyawdc2009]

i love the animation lol and i learnt this song in p7 i think its realy catchy this part in particular-and it stoped.short.never to go again when the old man died. lolz .

[prodigyoftheyear]

My grandfather died a couple of weeks ago... and this song kinda makes me sad, remembering him :( He had a thing for antique stuff too :3

*sigh* I'll miss my grandpa :|

[xxxST8TERGIRLxxx]

oh thats so sad!!!i dont know mine!!really my mum's dad is somewhere out there!!

[jameswizard6]

@prodigyoftheyear dito :I

[fangyen720]

Good animation and nice voice. I like it so much.

[pooten0]

Very sad. I still remember when i first sang this song in elementary, and i felt really sad after and i thought it was really wierd of me to do that after looking around and no one else was really that sad but now that i look back on it it is a really really sad song

Will miss you grandpa even though i wasn't old enough to get to know you ='(.

[alexandthomas]

poor grandpa

[Spearformer]

lol they died while standing up.

[battle52]

I'm in tears.. T-T

[Rastahat0802]

Sad, but great ending. MASTERPEICE!

[muhammedbest]

so sad but i lovv ve it

[theagelesswonder]

The old man reminds me of a guy that was always at the baseball games in Cedar Rapids. Miss ya Bud.

[teruphoto]

This version is much too short. It doesn't even get to the real tear jerking lyrics. The original song really builds up emotionally to it's final moving verse.
