Every time I hear this song, I cry. I remember my older brother who died from aids back in the 90's. The physical battle was so bad, that the day he died when I tried to speak to him, he spoke to me harshly. We didn't know that would be the last time we spoke. He was in great pain. This song means alot to alot of people, maybe different things, but it's important to all of us. I dare you to listen to this song and not cry. I dare you!
@MuDD834 oh no. how devastating. What genius to be able to express his feelings and connect to so many. So powerful. Thanks for the info and video. I hope to see this man around for a long time.
I don't know how long ago you made this video but it is AWESOME!!!!! I think the world of David Cook, can't wait for his next CD to come out but as I was searching through his songs, I found this and fell so in love with it. It is perfect!!
I have not seen this video before. When I hear it I think of my beautiful niece who died in a tragic car accident. I was lucky enough to tell David how this song reminds me of her and has helped me through some really tough times.
This song is far beyond special. It's beautiful and honest. Thanks for sharing the video..I've watched it several times lately. I just lost my uncle to cancer, ultimately. That loss is felt deeply within parts of my family, but what really hurts is that his wife (my "aunt") wanted him dead. She was starving him most of the time, and actually poisoned him when she DID feed him; wouldn't let us in to see him. The hardest thing was watching him wither away in that hospital bed&my Dad's heart break.
This is the first time I've listened to this song in months. If it's even possible, I love it even more. David always showed real emotion when he sang Permanent and he makes me feel what he is feeling, kind of a hopelessness and sadness.
I truly have chills going down my spine! Anyone who has lost someone they love from cancer of any kind knows David's pain when he wrote this and even as he sings now. May the Lord show His grace to any and all who call out to Him in their pain.....our pain. May the Lord bless you and keep you my loved one forever...........
Hey girl..I'm just now seeing this and I'm SPEECHLESS!Amazing job and so beautifully done!I love the way you mixed his performances in this with Race for Hope video!thanks you so much for sharing this masterpiece!!((HUGS))
Hey girl..I'm just now seeing this and I'm SPEECHLESS!Amazing job and so beautifully done!I love the way you mixed his performances in this with Race for Hope video!
This song is truly amazing and heartfelt ... David we feel your pain and your emotions through this incredible vocal performance. This is a GREAT song!!!
@theXwitness , Not the point. Thought I read somewhere that downloads of a certain performance(s) of this song were going to charity, but it doesn't matter about the money. I'm going to sound like an old fart, but it's sad that real music like this that would have been #1 15 or 20 years ago is ignored and replaced by talentless rapping morons.

@gorgeoustxwoman i just can't get tired of watching him sing, and in such a heartfelt tribute. thank you, David, for sharing your heart with us. And thank you to the maker of this video who--when David couldn't bring himself to do so--made a video that does the song justice! signed, fan in David cook withdrawals, Bec in Ohio
It's been almost 1 yr since Adam's passing and I still tear up when I watch this. I will be donating to David Cook's Race For Hope fund today. Thank You so much

David Cook will be at the Race for Hope again in the spring. Go to his website to find out how to contribute. Thank you.
I'm totally impressed with how well done this video is. David always sang this song with so much feeling and emotion, and it is captured here very nicely.
Very well done! Great job with the editing. It's nice to see that someone took the time to pull all of these clips together...it adds a lot to the song.
A fanatic tribute to Adam this song really sends chills down your spine what a great song thanks so much David Adam will be so proud of what u have achieved since American idol.....
This song is so amazing and especially one of the most dramatic songs of David and dedicated for his brother.....So sad,DC is so amazing,words can't describe how I admire him...
I just wept during this song. What a wonderful heartfelt memorial to AC. I think David will be proud of you for putting this together. It was a real blessing. TY again
Such a touching story within the song, but I believe the words, without hesitation, written by a man with a beautiful soul.

RIP Adam - you also became part of us when we met your brother. You will be remembered.
Where have you been? Where have I been? Your videos are AMAZING!!!!! The pictures/videos make me smile. Thank you!!
