  • this is my song to my precious baby boy! At 8 months I cried knowing that some day he will choose his own path in life haha hes six now and it still saddens he's gonna be eighteen :) I LOVE YOU SON!!!

  • @TheChanelnumberone this is how i feel when i listen to it, it makes me everytime?? bittersweet and beautiful!!

  • Not trying to be mean, but Chris Thile kinda looks like Beaker from the Muppets

  • I dedicated this song to my daughters today- I want them to know that while chasing their dreams, I will always be their safety net, their sounding board, their ultimate supporter- the first time I heard this song I knew it would always be meant for my girls.

  • @ChoctawTrisha Make sure you tell them to stay in the kitchen

  • Sean <3

  • Reminds one of the Punch Brothers......

  • One of my best friends in the whole world linked me to this video... She told me, "I feel like anyone could sing it to you and it would have the same meaning"... But she sang it to me...

  • Bittersweet lovesong. True love = true sacrifice.

  • beautiful

  • My mom made a music video of pictures of when I was little and this song is on it I cry when I see it.

  • AwsumOldShizzle: you can thank the real composer, Danny O'Keefe, for this 'real music.' He hashed it out with Tim O'Brian on an afternoon in September of 1996. See Danny's website. You'll find the song on his album, 'In Time.' Credit is due where credit is due.

  • I know the composer of this song, Danny O'Keefe, would be pleased you all appreciate it so much. He composed it with Tim O'Brian in September of 1996. You can find him singing it on Youtube. Do the search. It's been one of my fave's for years.

  • Just delightful....this song is dancing in my mind! (*_*)

  • What happened to them? I miss them, and their music. Come back Nickel Creek! You've got fans!!

  • So in-love with this song.... :)

  • I burned up the CD in about 2 months. They were brilliant .

  • sweetest song i've heard. New to blue grass, nice a more urban type can appreciate this work of art. next album?

  • @mobbtones sorry :( Nickel Creek broke up awhile ago :( But they all have other projects going. Sara Watkins has a solo album out and another on the way. Sean Watkins has several projects including solo albums and is a part in Fiction Family. Chris Thile also has several projects, one with Yo Yo Ma and a new album coming in february with his band Punch Brothers, and another recent album (can't remember the name) Its sad that they broke up but we wouldn't have these other albums if they hadn't

  • GREAT....5 days before Christmas 2011 and I have to watch video's like this, as if I'm not a total basket case with tears flowing as it is, all good tears of missing everyone I knew though.

  • The Band Perry can thank Nickel Creek for writing and performing songs like this 10 years ago.

  • @CaveCreekRob actually this a cover by Nickel Creek the song was originally done by Tim O'Brien and co-written by Danny O'Keefe and O'Brien. But point taken, their one hell of a group.

  • ... Simply beautiful!

  • I downloaded this one song but I got this music instead. And I STARTED TO LOVE IT. :)

  • wow. just wow. havent heard this in years, i am once again addicted...

  • this music makes my heart sing.

  • One of my very best friends just sent this to me. . . brought me to tears. He knows we will part ways, won't always be together, but We Will Never Not Be Friends. I have to be one of the luckiest people alive, to have a friend like him.

  • Nickel Creek made you think. They made you think about what's important in life. You can't sing songs like this unless you yourself have been through some tough times. Songs like this bring me back and make me realize that there is something good in this world to fight for after all...

  • i want to dedicate this song to a girl i really like her name is tia and lives in lochbouie , co i am so worried about you and want to be a big part of your life just one chance and please quit hurting yourself you are beautifull and ask you will you be mine i will always be there to catch you if you fall if you will im on a bended knee for you babe

  • white people

  • This song helps me be more altruistic and less bitter and selfish. Thanks, Nickel Creek. You guys really hit the spot at this point in my life.

  • This song helps me be more altruistic and less bitter. Thank you, Nickel Creek.

  • i love this song very much i met hundreds of individuals at a summer camp in the great USA in the state of wisconsin changed my life for all its worth and this was our favorite song evertime it played each week , i never say tears of love passion and happiness the way i did until we sang this song . Wisconsin Badger Camp 2011 my lifes love foreve.

  • Holy crap, they look so young in this video. Especially Thile.

  • I just love this song!!!!! YOUR VOICE IS SO SWEET!

  • correction

    does this band sing cristin music

  • @illinoisobssed come on now, you're making us Illinoisans look uneducated!! It is CHRISTIAN not cristin (whatever that is) and while some of Nickel Creek's music is faith based, no they are not a Christian band

  • is this band sing cristin music

  • such a pretty song!

  • This was the last hard copy CD I bought before everything went digital. Not much since then really measures up.

  • this is my ultimate chill and stress relief song :)

  • ULTIMATE TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sara, Chris and Sean - You are soooooooooo talented!!!!! Your harmonizing is amazing!!!!!

  • When I was little, my dad would go away on long business trips, and my mom would let me sleep in their bedroom. Every night she'd play CDs until I fell asleep. This song always played. I was only 2 or 3 when she played it, but yesterday she turned on the song and I knew every word. I love Nickel Creek. This song, the Lighthouse's Tale, Reasons Why, and the Hand Song are some of my favorites.

  • everything i need to say...to my love!!!!!

  • OH MAN I LOVE THIS BAND... NEVER MADE IT AS A WISE MAN, COULDNT CUT IT AS A POOR MAN STEALING... CLASSIC!

  • @howl87 This is NOT nickleback.  I think you're a little confused.

  • @JTLawtonProductions No... I think you're confused. Nickleback are real American heroes and you're obviously misguided if you are not a fan. Have you heard that song Rockstar??? I MEAN C'MON!

  • @howl87 You botched your whole statement by saying Nickleback was American. They're Canadian. I wish you would go watch them instead of posting stupid stuff on good videos, only so you can actually back up your statements logically.

  • @howl87 Why would you post Nickleback lyrics on a Nickel Creek video? P.S. Nickleback sucks ass.

  • jcatron, your life is worth it whether you inspire or give hope to one or one hundred thousand people. Be a friend, help someone in need, lend a hand, give words of encouragement to a troubled soul. You are worth much more than you think.

  • I have no story sadder that ones that come before this, but this song has inspired me for many, many years, and if I could only hope to inspire and give hope to so many as this song does, I would deem my life worth it. But alas, it is not and and I leave this world a lesser person because one whole life is not worth the few chords played here to inspire millions. Listen, feel, be inspired, take every chance you dare, be the person worthy of someone who waits for you to come back down.

  • Not knowing what was behind this song, I do not know if you are offended by all the talk of loved ones dying or not, and how this song affected peoples lives. I have to tell you though, that the first time I heard this song, I was sitting in the parking lot of a local store on our way to the family thanksgiving. My aunt turned it on and my daughter and I listened. And we both cried. And even now I cry when I hear it. But I smile too. You all sound incredible together.

  • a truly beautiful song

  • Viiolin rox!

  • Gave me chills...i will listen to this till im 80

  • Lets get this straight. this song is inspiring and classic, Not to mention its awesome.

  • It was 2002. I loved her very much, but I had learned that if I really loved her, I had to let her go. New York was calling her along with a bright new future... We loved each other very much, but we decided this was best. I sent the last three nights with her singing this song to her... That was ten years ago. I'll never forget how I felt that tues. morning at 8:30 when she called to say her last goodbye. She was on the first plane that hit the towers... I miss her so much. :(

  • @4240ed How was she on the first plane if it was 2002?

  • @caitidavis Typo. Sry.

  • when they came through oregon there was no coffee left for us.

  • I listened to this song on repeat for months everytime I was in my car after my grandpa passed away...it was so comforting to me. Everytime I hear it now, I feel like he's with me!

  • its so beautiful!!! =')

  • i used to play this when my wife was pregnant with my son. now 4 years later if i play this on my guitar he falls fast asleep. i love them there music is so pure

  • music is what you make of it

  • @VicodinKing91 I would say music is what makes YOU :)

  • beautiful song and video and the girl she is awesome!! But what ever does this song have anything to do with cancer???

  • @rennaissancebiker I know right! and if the cancer is terminal....should they still be alive 9 years later?

  • @DaisyDoodleDandy... really! sounds like that LSD trip was quite the trip!

  • Wow Kim, Im so sorry to hear that. Just lost my best friend of 26yrs to leukemia. I was with him through it all but the last two weeks of hospice care. Even though i wasnt there at the very end, he knew.... just like your father, he couldnt speak to you but, he knew. You are raising his grand daughter and that is the best piece of him he could have left for you. You really are blessed ; )

  • This song makes me cry everytime i hear it. My dad was diagnosed wit metastatic melenoma 3 years ago. He fought for about a year until he couldnt fight anymore. In august of 2009 i moved 2 states away because we thought he was getting better. when i let he was in still good health. 2 months later i went home to find him in a hospital bed with no way to speak, at 7:40 on dec 20 2009 while i held his hand he took his last breath. 1 day after mydaughters 1st birthday. i miss my dad everyday. -Kim

  • Hey if you like Nickel Creek, check out The Stockholm Robot!

    A Glass House, The Fool's Cage!

  • This , my friends, is real music.

  • @AwsumOldShizzle i couldn't agree more... :)

  • @AwsumOldShizzle no .... MEATLOAF......... THAT my friend is real music..... It is also delicious...... especially with a little extra ketchup and brown sugar.....

  • @scpttybpyo8 yep, good music AND good food

  • 14 people are tone deaf. 

  • this song and a few beers puts me, in the right state of misery.... ich liebe dich  : )y

  • My son chose this for us to dance the son and mother dance at his wedding. I had never heard it before. Pretty song. I will always be here for him and I think he understands my diagnosis of breast cancer by his choice of this song. He has a good heart that son of mine, I am a proud mama.

  • @singNdancin sorry to hear you are living with a cancer condition, i hope you change that.

  • @singNdancin Hello.. I know we are total strangers, but that can't stop me from asking how you are doing? Hope to hear you're doing well! Blessings

  • @singNdancin This is very touching ....I hope you are well lady ...God Bless

  • this song always makes me cry i love all their songs! and they are all beautiful and the girl is such a talented violin player and the guys are awesome singers and guitar players ! this is my favorite band ever! oh! and they harmonize so well together! go nickel creek !

  • Nice rendition of Danny O'Keefe's song. The artist who also wrote "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues."

  • the gardener sent her rosebuds :) <3

  • WLS '11!!! =] Chewelah Peak, Most magical song.

  • The singer looks like Robert Pattison

  • Comment removed

  • @hasheesheh that' because it's folk music, not country :)

  • @beatlescreek86: Open mind you say towards music? I respect your oppinion I do. However my nose is deff not in the air as you state. I can put any Nickel Creek song against any Gaga song and assure you that Nickel Creek will envoke more feelings and emotion than a Gaga song. A 13 year old child sung her song better than she did. She is overhyped, overpaid, and a drama queen. Granted society as a whole is geared toward that now, but its wrong and you know it.

  • Beautiful song with such a powerful meaning...This is for my daugher, Kallie. She is a senior this year in high school...She has big dreams and plans for life..I wish her all the best..I will be there IF I need to catch her fall...and pull her back up. Always her MOMMY...I LOVE YOU Kallie...

  • too close to the heart.... too far apart.....never again to meet.

  • Please GOD...bring back this type of music. Main stream media is killing us all. Lady Gaga...Bieber..I could go on. WAKE UP people...music is meant to mean something. Its not about sex, drugs, or what kind of car you have...

    We can only hope.

  • @TheCicerro Gaga is a talented songwriter. Yes, her albums are over-produced. The unplugged versions of her songs are great though. Speechless is one of my favorites... no sex and drugs in that one, if you were worried. I've been a big Nickel Creek fan since 2000. One thing I've learned from them is to keep an open mind towards music. Even they included Britney Spears' song Toxic as part of their repertoire, lol. Please get your nose out of the air.

  • How can 14 people dislike this?????

  • live? where is it?

  • #1 in my Top 25 Most Played. :-) So good.

  • I always thought this song was about someone who loved someone enuff to give them their hopes, and would

    wait for them

  • why can't guys really say this kind of stuff and mean it? Dx

  • Comment removed

  • 14 dislikes? Ah, well...

    This is superb music.

  • songs like this give ya hope during bad times, takes u away from all your problems and gives you the courage to fight for what you love, not many songs can do that and be so beautiful at the same time

  • this is a fantastic song by a fantastic band, i cherish and treasure the message this song sends

  • R.I.P Ethan Chambers

    R.I.P Taylor Brooke McKee <3

    I Miss You

  • Totally a perfect song for having to part ways with someone you love.  A great way to wish them the best

  • Songs aren't supposed to make you cry, dammit. <3

  • This song, crushes me. Every time. Yet I listen, over and over. It brings back the greatest loss/heartache of my life, yet promises me something better. The better fails me, yet the heartache echoes new every day.

  • This song got me through my daughter's college years--I call her Angel. A love song for all loves.

  • Beautiful

  • i love u katie

  • Go to my page to see a video of me and my older brother singing this song! :)

  • im a 18 yrs old guy, and im not usually the one who cries, but this song puts a tear in me eye! ^^

  • my greatest fear will be

    that you will crash and burn, and I won't feel your fire.

  • this song is helping me while my boyfriend is gone on deployment to Afghanistan :( I miss him <3

  • How can you dislike this song??

  • beautiful song. remember when I First heard of this band. a while ago. still good even today.

  • 13 people are deaf and blind.

  • its a great song to get from ur boyfriend!

  • My best friend passed away on my 20th birthday in april and somehow this song brings me so close to him. i miss his presences so much.

  • nice

    

  • @thugsta7th epic comment duuude

  • i've always had a very sceptical look on country music, thinking that its only these yeeeee-haaaaw songs, but man, this kind of country is just awesome and touching, i love nickel creek <3

  • @apfelstrudelmaster that's because it's not country babe... it's bluegrass

  • i want this song played at my funeral...seriously, i love it!

  • Can someone make a lyrical video? With the lyrics on screen?

  • Im literally about to cry. I mean, we play this for our fifth grade end of the year slideshow when we leave our amazing school. I'm seriously going to cry when it happens.

  • This song was written by Tim O'Brien and Danny O'Keef. Tim does a mighty fine version on his album "When No One's Around".

  • @TheBlockDog It still amazes me how so few people know of Tim O'Brien. He's such a musical genius, yet he continues to go unnoticed. This is such a great album; just one of many.

  • For the first time in a very long time (maybe the first time) I am in Love. This song is all about what the meaning of true love is to me:)

  • totally dig chris's glasses

  • hah ^^ such a wonderful song... mom used to play this song so much after dad passed. glad there is such music to help convey so many strong emotions. R.I.P James

  • hands down the best song of that year. the first country leaning song to be that for me. but it's more. it's spiritual and just beautiful

  • Very sweet.....I must have played it over twenty times.

  • @dghmusic Me too i absolutely LOVE this song and Sara Watkins! I first heard this song a few yrs ago. It was in one of Warren Millers skiing/snowboarding videos that he makes. It was Epic!!! So glad i was able to find it, as i didnt even know the name or who it was that sang it.

  • my favorite nickel creek song, love it!

  • 12 people's Angels flew away.. :(

  • love, love, love this song!!!!!!!!!

  • Where did these guys go? I haven't heard any of their stuff on the radio in a long time.

  • Back in 2002 after getting a terminal Cancer diagnosis I sat in a room full of pillows with my friends Rob and Kiera and did quite a few drops of this absolutley clean and clear LSD 25 ,in a Vizine eye drops bottle..This song was on the stereo cd with repeat/single on "When you come back down" .Now ,the 3 0f us lay on the pillows ,laughing talking and basically tripping our brains out from 8 pm until 8 am when my girlfriend poked her head in and said,"You have been listening to 1 song all night.

  • @scoutdog66

    lmao - those were the day!! can just visualise it too

  • @scoutdog66 terminal cancer diagnosis in 2002? So I'm going to assume you beat it? If so, congratulations. =) I'm infinitely happy for you...

  • @scoutdog66 It appears you're still alive. Good work there.

  • @scoutdog66 Good to see your still with us. Hope your doing well.

  • @scoutdog66 are you still alive though? 

  • @scpttybpyo8 Yes I am! I was just off line for a while and now I am back and still listening to Nickel Creek songs and back performing my music with my girlfriend at Coffee houses and clubs and Living with this slow growing Cancer called "Carcinoid Syndrome" and Still Exploring the Super Natural and Learning to Love Everyone!!

  • Just wonderful.

  • 12 people didn't come back down

  • omg this song makes me cry and think of all the good times i have with my freinds 

  • OMG! WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF YOU GUYS. YOUR BLUEGRASS IS SOFT AND SO FULL OF HARMONY. YOUR MUSIC HAS TOUCHED ME IN SO MANY WAYS...PLEASE COME BACK! ; ( and Sarah,...if you were gravy and i was a biscut,..I WOULD SOP YOU UP!!!

  • thank you for your gift in songwriting. Amazing song!~HEMI

  • I lost my husband after 30 yrs and it makes me think of him

  • It reminds me of the relationship that my best friend and I have and how I will alwyas be there for him no matter how high he goes in his life. I love this song. Can't get enough of it.

  • i miss my mother so much when i hear this song

  • this song gave me goosebumps. It kind of relates to my last son going out on his own, to make his own mistakes. Beautiful. Gotta have the album

  • I lost my brother in high school and even though parts of this isn't really a song about death, it still comforts me knowing that I'll see him again. This is the song I wish I could have sang for him at his funeral.

  • thumbs up if his green glasses freak you out a little......

  • just recently broke up with my girldfriend...i can't stop thinking about how much of a huge mistake that was..now that i'm trying my hardest to work things out with her she tells me she wants to do her own thing for a while..song really hits me hard..especially the chorus..but i will still be there when she comes back down
