  • he is really cool! i respect him! i wanna say "thank you" to the wonderful song!

  • This song is respectful to the people loved.

  • 4+6 incorrect

  • This song makes me cry. Ive been lucky enough to have never lost anyone close to me, but whenever I read or hear or watch anything to do with death, i break down, and im not sure why, I dont know how it feels. My favourite bit is 'I never cared about God when life was sailng on the calm, so i said id get my head down and I'd deal with the ache in my heart, and for that if god exists i reckon hed pay me regard, mum says me and you are the same from the start' :'( (U)

  • death is a horrible thing... when someone you love dies like your mam of dad ya just feel like you cant go on yeno... its the hardest thing iv ever had to deal with... hopefully you dont have to deal with it too soon but unfortunatly every1 has to go through it at sometime... all the best!!!

  • my dad died in 05 with the big C so this tune means everything

  • @DKFROMBAS Mine is currently dying of cancer and this song is very therapeutic for me.

  • "I know which one I prefer"

    So do I.

  • but we loved him

  • No Woman No Cry styled chords and melody but that doesn't matter, this song is really awesome.

  • Great Song, Loved ya at the Treasure Island Fest, Sorry no one else did. Cheers MATE!! Oi.

  • The night before my father died, I took my then 3 year old son to see him. He was in bed, talking. Sick, but a mess. He left when I was 12 and we never really connected. But we found we had a lot in common in the last year of his life. That day he looked at my boy playing on the floor of his room and he asked his wife if the boy was me. His mind was reaching out to the moments lost. When I hear this song, it takes me right back to that moment. I hope I'll always have a copy. Cheers.

  • nice x

  • greatsong and nice last comment , skinner sums this up well and u can feel his pain makes me cry x

  • tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  • :'( brilliant song.

  • Vaccines have saved more lives than they've taken. Medical research improves human knowledge and progresses the human race. If you are anti-progression, then get the fuck of the internet, make smoke signal messages instead.

  • lol +1

  • when you can explain the link between vaccination and HIV in africa during the mid 80's then i am prepared to pay attention, the matter of the fact is that humans lived longer during the middle ages in africa than they do now, they are also poorer now, you might think what the heck shit happens, but every action has a reaction, all the big boys have talked about population reduction, I can provide evidance if you prever, so why then would I want their medicane which causes more harm than good.

  • The only time i have seen my dad cry, is when his father died, a few years ago, infact 8 years ago, its the only thing that i can remember of my childhood at that time, the fact that i saw this man, hunched over, tears dropping down his face, the sadness and panin in his eyes, i just hope that my dad dies before me, becuase i think losing your only son would be much worse.

  • Peace and respect to u all i lost my dad to shitty drink guess life is a long journey in which we have no direction. x or we all have the chance of our own legacy

  • you know what, what a great tune that can invoke so much emotion, sadness and good times with loved ones, i know this track helped me through a lot of strife.

  • exactly the same thing happend to my dad it was the most destroying thing 2 to see the man u admire in such a way he can barley stand i hope i grow up 2 be half the man he is.

  • i know how you feel mate,, i lost my dad 4 years ago to cancer, i miss him like mad.. i listen to this and keep telling myself to try and be as good as i can for him every day.

  • my dad had a stroke but lived for 5 years as a disabled man'

    he wasnt the same man he was a diffrent bloke but you do what ya have to

    but this song sums it up!!

  • Hard to think it's a year since you went, miss you so much dad.

  • Sorry, mate...

  • damn this song gives me goosebumps...

    I don't know what I would be without my dad...

    my mom died nearly 6years ago and @ the beginning I really was on my own and had to deal with it,but after a while I got to know my dad well and we are closer now.

    Gosh this song is beautiful

  • My dad I have respect for but he just dont listen to me. I asked him to come home when I was a teen and he did about one or twice a week. As I grew older he faded away to his girlfriends house and it was lonely to have a house to myself. He never helped me with the problems I had with people breaking into his house and stealing my stuff untill they stole his. He solved the problem by kicking me out. Thanks Dad I love you

  • respect to this song my dad killed himself and left a note saying i had to be a man now! i hope ive done him proud as he left a peice of him in me. R.I.P DADxxxxxx

  • my dad killed himself one month ago. sucks for both of us man!

  • sweet song (Y)

  • his song has the goodness of life-size(3u0) good song!

  • i've been listening to mike for years..but in my opinion i think the singing hooks take away from most of his songs. i like his songs that have no singing in them.

  • funny life...my dad didnt even notice or care about his dad because of the shit dad he was, yet i couldnt imagine living without my dad. I never knew my grandad that well because my dad didnt want me to, cant blame him. My grandad passed away a few months ago, didnt mean much to me but i could see the hurt and pain in my dad eyes.

  • the universe is a tricky place, no songs can represent exactly how you feel, and thats just you. be sensible, and if you can, love your parents... cheers

  • Fair play mate, too true.

  • deeecent songg. ;)

  • No way, what a startling revelation. It's called sampling.

  • shut up

  • what exactly is this song about? his dad dying?

  • yes it is about his own father dying

  • i dont like music but the streets aint like the rest mike speaks the truth cause he aint making up shit like all women r fit he tells u what happens what the worlds like

  • u dont like music? looool

  • this song makes me so sad :/

  • i know this probably sounds odd but this song reminds me of my uncle who died about 7 years ago

    he was the dad figure to me

  • doesn't sound odd at all

  • Awesome song!!!

  • the piano beat through this song is taken from the beatles - let it be!!!

  • not exactly... it has the same tunes yeh, but it's not exactly identical, some notes are difrent, like tha last three, or the second,

    But, you're right nx)

  • well yes its not the exact beat, but i didnt say that i said it was taken from the beatles ;)

  • this song really is poetry. I like many of his songs but this one is special, the lyrics are great.

    "'Cause I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you" this line gets to me all the time.

    it really reminds me of the way I feel about my my late father.

  • No matter - if he is gay, or somebody else... I don't care about it... most of people searching for something in sexuallity in other people - have problems with them own....

    Sorry for my ENG

  • r u for real he looks gay lol

    man if u sound lik a bender for sayin tht..

    haha do u luk at every artist commenting on their looks ffs man its the music tht counts and this case their aint much betr!!

  • love this defo up at top with Dry Your Eyes and Lets Push Things Foward class The Streets like

  • quailty song !! :)

  • fukin amazin song

  • without a doubt THEE best song the streets have ever made.

  • every time iv heard his song it sends a shiver down my spine

    its class and mike skinner is a legend and i hope the streets come back to glasgow soon !

  • hes brill. i love this song. i love mike. but fit? dont see it im afraid but, really nice genuine guy. x

  • can't you just speak normal english grammar?

  • Okay, I'm American and don't know what comments were made before this to piss off any Brits or Scotsmen or Canadians. Matter of fact, I don't know why I have to mention being born and raised in the US, because it really doesn't define how I feel about such a touching song. I mean, chokes me up like K-Ci & Jo-Jo's "Life" song.

    I can't change the opinions of others but hope others comments don't distract from why this song was put up in the first place. Don't let ignorance win and just listen.

  • mike skinner is so deep. i love and appreciate the art work that is his music. x

  • Who let the janks out?

  • What a song! A real tearjerker. Lost my Dad in 2005. Mike Skinner so strong! Thanks. xx

  • kbatty92 needs a smack ,

  • he needs more then a smack

  • kbatty u are a dick!!!!!

  • yo shit m8 that is bit harsh fucking hell man i think most of youtube will agree with me wen i say u shud b the 1 that dies

  • I really want the whole of your family and all your friends to die. I'd be laughing.

  • eh no that wasnt funny u low life peice of shit

  • i was replying to a low life piece of shit actually. Dont bother replying to my comments when u dont know who its to or what im talkin about.

  • well see if u think tht way when your parents die you fucking low life

  • Astounded by the bigotry in this day and age. I have yet to meet an american I did not like. I put these awful comments down to a lack of education, and would urge Americans not to rise to this kind of idiocy. I am very proud of being British, and equally proud of being scottish. Being a Scot I do not feel the need to grovel to people of other nations, so when I say I love america and its sons and daughters, it comes straight frim the heart. Screw these bigoted halfwits. God bles the U.S.A.

  • Nope, I'm from America and everyone here is a jackass.

  • To back the Brits who DO have more culture than the Americans. And to let you know you guys aren't always welcome cause most of you think you're the center of the world, Lo0sechange, Americans are fucking idiots in general. No don't go and pretend you're for the Bible belt where people are just fucking retarded. You bunch of inbred morons.

    Signed: your neighbour, a Canadian who fucking hates his southern redneck neighbours

  • wow. i'm from the south. in general, in every country you have ignorant arrogant people. the only canadians that i ever met were sort of pretentious. i enjoy feist though so i can't really say much. either way. america has plenty to offer as far as cultured individuals and as we see here so do the brits. fuck your comment about the south. we brought you outkast. and ray charles. i'm proud of that.

  • ha, you're properly getting into it, did you shed a tear when you wrote that?

  • ha, yea maybe i did when i was listening to this nice tune!

  • ok... thanks for the love man

  • Woo! I love Canadians, my favourite comedian is Canadian

  • it's the internet

  • I also hate Americans, fucking assholes, any yanks here then fuck off!

  • screw u mutha fucka

  • My Dad died in March 08 and when I heard this for the first time driving home a few month later, I made me cry. Amazing lyrics and I know that anyone who has lost there dad will feel them.

    R.I.P to My Dad and all other lost Dads. xx

  • sorry for the loss of your dad, i had my dog die and he was like out baby of the family, i miss him so much, hope you are getting over the greif, ryan
