    I'm 75 and I love East 17. This particular song never fails to bring the tears. I lost my 91 year old mum in 2021 whilst I was seriously ill in hospital with Covid. I missed her funeral and never got to say goodbye. I think of her when I hear this song 😢

    When I was younger, this was me and my dad’s favourite song. Round about that time, he was suffering from schizophrenia really bad and went out to cope with the pain. Me, being at oldest 6 years old, missed him immensely during this time as my only hope of seeing him was potentially on the couch on Saturdays. One night, I was in bed crying about how much I missed him when he was out and my mum heard me. She must’ve called him to come over as the next thing I heard was him playing this song over my bed as we cuddled for a bit. I still remember that, even though I’m 12 now and things are much better. He still struggles with schizophrenia, but I see him everyday

    This song has literally saved my life many times and continues to do so. I imagine it is my young daughter singing to me and telling me not to go because she still needs me. The lines, 'I thought I heard you say you love me, that your love was going to be here to stay,' and especially, 'I've only just begun to know you, all I can say is won't you stay just one more day'. So, I do. I do stay just one more day.

    I was listening to this, this evening and something told me to read the comments and now I can see why. I’ve been debilitated by grief since my Mum died unexpectedly at age 59 in 2014 and I remember when this was around and we both loved it. Whenever I hear it, I just want to cry because I wish it was that time again and she was still with me because I’m never going to be the same person without her. I remember saying in her eulogy that I fail to see the point of me, without her… and that will always the the case. 💔 my heart goes out to anyone experiencing grief right now.

When this came out in 1994 I was 14 and my cousin (also my childhood best friend, mentor and big brother figure) had passed away earlier that year from Cystic Fibrosis, heartbreakingly just short of his 18th birthday. Could totally relate to the pain and the themes of loss and grief in the song, as I faced my first Christmas without the biggest, most influential figure from my childhood. Was so glad this held on for the #1 slot at Christmas that year! RIP Simon - 25 years on, and you're never forgotten... Sleep tight, cuz!
