I cannot believe that we live in a world where people are killed for doing what they love. So much cruelty for no reason at all. Christina really was an angel - your lyrics are so beautiful Connie X
+Sarah Jowett actually we do live in a world where we are killed for that exact reason. police are aiming toward it being a planned kill. against her, against her career choice. against what she believed in & stood for. people are cruel, were not safe to be who & what we are. we need to be careful
+Sarah Jowett That's a rather naive comment. People are killed just for being a different shade, what makes you think people aren't killed for doing what they love too? I'm not saying that was the reason for this particular death, but it's truly unrealistic to assume that people aren't killed for less than just merely existing. Either you're young and inexperienced with life or life was very kind to you. Either way, extremely unrealistic way of assuming murderers intentions.
Now that she is gone everyone shows their appreciation. I hope Christina truly knew how much she was loved and appreciated when she was still alive. I hope she knew about the impact she had on all these people. She was an inspiration and I just hope she knew that.
Yes, indeed Christina knew how much she was loved & appreciated while she was among us physically because it constantly showed in that bright light of hers, that amazing smile, and unconditional love she showed to everyone she met & knew in her precious life! She knew alright 😀
+Lucy Liang GOD has a specific job for all of us in Heaven,hopefully hers is music but if not it is what she is meant to do..I hope mines music too...God Bless All
This was the most beautiful tribute. I'm shedding tears as I'm hanging on to every word in this song... no lyrics fit anymore perfect than these. This world lost a lot when we lost Christina.
When I saw the report about Christina's death I, for the first time in my life, experienced the physical reaction of shock. I just couldn't take in what I was reading. The nightclub killings that followed have left me bewildered and apprehensive. Let us hope that the impulse for peace and world harmony will rise in the hesrts of mankind.
Don't know why. I keep coming back to hear this fantastic original time after time. Can't praise Connie enough for writing and singing this. Too me it is absolutely topclass composing and performing for any age.
Can't stop listening to this tribute. The more I listen the more beautiful the lyrics and melody is. To know that Connie wrote this in one day is truly amazing. She is only 15. True talent and truly a great sweet girl.
Still this day this song touches me so much. Masterpiece by Connie Talbot, which really shows her potential. This song is just perfection..And Connie wrote it in just one evening. Christina was such a great singer and person😭
Going back to hear this. Can`t praise you enough for this song written in a day, Connie. It is just one of the best songs ever written. Christina would be so proud.
LYRICS: Sailing Safe [Original] - Connie Talbot A Tribute to Christina Grimmie Heartbreaking all around, We speak but there’s no sound. Black stains upon our cheeks, Our tears come falling down. Cry a river over you, And drown in its despair. I know I didn’t know you, But I know it isn’t fair. Cause we lost an angel, We lost an angel in earth as well as heaven. We lost an angel. And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing. And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here. Sailing safe… You heal the broken hearts with your own melody, Taught us that it’s okay to not follow society. This world never deserved you so I say goodbye tonight. Good night, God bless you, rest in paradise. And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing. And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here. Sailing safe…. ----------------------------- Connie this is a wonderful tribute to Christina. God bless. Take care everyone.
I think instead of "we lost an angel to nothing as well as heaven" it should be "we lost an angel to earth as well as heaven". That's just what I heard :)
Absolutely beautiful , heartfelt song. Thank you Connie. I've never known of you until today , when I was searching for tributes to Christina. You've just gained a new fan. It's proof that even in tragedy , we are taught that there is much more good than evil in this world. Bless you Connie and RIP Christina. Heaven has an amazing new angel
You are so lucky! You have stumbled our own angel, our Sweet Connie! You are lucky that you can now see her numerous other works that fill our hearts with love and joy. Luckier still, you will see that both her lovely art and inspiring personal efforts to help the world grow in both depth and impact. At only 15, she is just getting started and I believe she will be an historic figure.
When there is a new dislike, I ponder whether the person is void of feeling, jealous of the performer's unique abilities, or they're just being a jerk. Then I realize, it's all of the above. They're entitled to their opinion. This is mine.
It's my opinion that people who comment about those who comment on others opinions, rather than the their own opinion of the video itself, have wasted their opportunity.
It is MY opinion that those who comment upon other people's opinions are indeed giving an opinion... and I agree with +intermenator To date (19 June '16), Connie's beautiful song has attracted 35 thumbs down... and those who gave them, IMO, are jealous jerks! *R {:-)*
June 10, 2016 was a very sad for all of us who loved Christina and loved her singing. Connie this song is so beautiful. You sing this song with such feeling and meaning. The world has lost a lovely, talented girl. RIP Christina, May the Angels give you wings to fly
I remember watching Christina's covers for the first time... When she still had her 'poofy' hair. I could watch them all day. Her voice was incredible and she was such a beautiful soul. Absolutely devastated about what happened.
This is a beautiful and amazing song Connie ♡ I'm very proud of being a connoefriend and proud of you, your heart is full of love and I love you share this love with the people. I LOVE YOU CONNIE and thanks for this beautiful song for Christina, I'm sure she aprecciates it from the other side and also her family. God bless you Con xoxo ♡
This song is so beautiful. I don't know how to describe it but it's written in a style that would fit christinas voice very well. Is it weird that I can somehow imagine her singing this?
When I first started watching videos on RUclips 8 years ago, Christina was the first person I started watching on RUclips because I just loved her originality in her voice which had incredible vocal capabilities. I loved her style and most importantly she was such a humble person with a lot of sense of humor. The news still shocks me but heaven has just gained a beautiful angel. #RIPChristina #PrayforOrlando
Holy shit, I can barely see my keypad as I typing this cause I'm crying again... This is such a beautiful song! I'm sure that Christina is smiling down at you Connie for writing and singing this beautiful song
When Christina was taken away from the world, I was in total shock. For days I felt like having lost someone from my own family. Even today I sometimes listen to her music and for some moments I forget she’s not around anymore. How come could some terrible thing get to her? That is how much she was loved. And thank you, Connie, for writing this song, which is so beautiful as the person she was.
This is the most wonderful tribute I heard since I know about Christina... She was... I don't know, I loved her so much... My heart is more than broken. I can't stop crying. I think about it every day. And your song says everything I can't. Thank you so much. Christina will live in our memories and hearts.
Have you listened to the song Tyler Ward wrote about her? It's also super emotional especially since he knew her personally and they were close friends. The fun fact he posted in the description broke my heart... it said he was one of the few people who actually knew her yt password. Idk that just really got to me and the song was so personal and he had to try really hard not to cry... couldn't even sing the whole song... it's heartbreaking.
I'm so sad she died, but at the same time i'm so angry someone did that. Someone actually shot an angel and that is gonna disturb me for months. I will never get over this, i wish i didn't find her channel back in 2011 and became a fan, i wouldn't be in such a pain. #RIPChristina bless her family.
This is so beautiful I can't keep coming back to it. I started watching Christina 4-5 years ago. I'm thankful for this cover. Thank you Connie.x LYRICS: Connie Talbot -Tribute to Christina Grimmie-Sailing Safe (Original) Heart-breaking all around, We speak but there’s no sound.

Well ... I'm French and I didn't know about what happened to her, I'm shocked to learn it here ... She was not an artist I followed with fever but she was still a great singer and I listened a lot of her covers and songs, so it's sadly that I learn she is not among us now ... I hope she rests in peace and her family has my support too. Thank you for all you've done for her, Connie !
23 It was at her own concert. She was greeting fans and the man walked up to her and shot her but that isn't the point. We lost many innocent people this weekend.
Ya it was because he was a deranged fan who loved Christina and thought she was ganna marry him but he found out she had a bf and killed her then him so that she would be with him for ever she's in a better place now and yes she's teaching the angels now how to sing if u listen you may even hear them
I never followed any celebrities on instagram, twitter etc... except Christina Grimmie. I loved her and when I heard she passed... it was so devestating to me. I'm still not over it.
How beautiful! I'd like to dedicate this song as well to all the victims of the recent Orlando shooting. My thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends 💗
Beautiful, Connie I’m going to share you with over 5 thousand on Facebook, will many of all your songs. I will continue, your voice is amazing, I’ve watched you since the first time I see you so small and young. You are going to be a very famous artist
I am a few years too late but I just have to leave a comment after listening to it. The lyrics are so well written and the song itself is just perfection. If I listened to this song without knowing who wrote it I would have thought that a professional singer/songwriter wrote it. It does not happen very often that a song makes me so emotional. If this is the case I know that it was written and sung by a true talent. Very well done, Connie!
She is such an inspiration to everyone and to me. She's a star that glittering out in the dark and losing her cause lots of pain and heartaches throughout the nation and all over the globe. This song is just amazingly beautiful, every words.
I didn't know Christina until after her death. I may not be as sad as the fans that knew he'd before she was shot, but I am greatly moved and saddened by this song. We really did lose an angel, and that 1 person who hated her in the millions that loved her really shouldn't have been at that one concert. They are sick and evil, and she would be standing somewhere in the world, happily hugging someone or singing. This is a beautiful song and I really love both you and Christina. Than you so much for writhing this song.
This song is pure, sincere, and heartfelt so beautiful sung Thank you Connie. And please take procedures to protect yourself at meet and greets. This is just so senseless that we lost her horrible!
Beautiful song Connie. I know she's smiling down on you. Christina meant so much to me and was one of the reasons why i'm here on youtube and why I started making covers. The past three days i've been crying, in shock, and absolutely heartbroken. For the first time, I felt absolutely numb. I can't believe that's how she went. She seemed so humble and kind. Rest in peace Christina :( Gone way too soon. Forever remembered.
Very Sweet Connie, I have post from Christina when she used to write to me in her earlier days. I was in shock to hear about her. You are truly a Sweetheart for doing this in her memory. Watching as you grow I have seen your Kindness! Love Ye'
I've played the piano since the age of 4 and now I am 16. With even a diploma in piano I still struggle to compose a song. Connie is not only beautiful inside and out, she is talented and an inspiration to me and I'm sure to all of you too. It fascinates me how she can compose such a great great song along with the chords that match perfectly together. Not afraid to say this is one of the best song I have heard and you have composed Connie!
So emotional. You know that this is saddest song connie ever sing. And theres is no little smile and a wave she mostly do on every last part of her videos.
From this beautiful song, We all can know how much Christina is an inspiration to Connie and of course to the world. Thank you Connie, I'm sure that Christina is proud of you... x RIP Christina.
Now i sit here again and cry. I saw the RIP letters for her on saturday morning and was in a deep shock for hours. I couldn´t believe what i was reading there. The question in my mind which will perhaps never has an answer for all of us is: WHY? This song says everything what I and certainly many others feel right now. Thank you Connie that you have shared your deepest and saddest feelings with all of us. You should sing this song in front of an big audience filled with family members, friends and fans from Christina. I´m sure that you would speak deep from the bottom of their hearts. Through your song can you speak for all those peoples which can´t find words in this hard situation for this cruel death.
How fitting that one artist pays tribute to another artist with the gift of music, and not just a song, but really a piece of your troubled heart. I hope writing this song helps you heal, Connie, because it's going to help a lot of others to do the same. Thank you for this.
Your are absolutely right, we lost her way too soon. I watched here throughout the season she was on the Voice and then I her of her passing. I was saddened that such a young promising talent was taken from us so soon. Beautiful song.
Even after all this time has gone by, there is not a second that goes by I haven't thought of this sweet girl and her family. I remember having the honor of sending her mom a handmade journal. This was truly a beautiful song, and I was definitely crying
Ever since you uploaded this I've listened to it. It's so beautiful and it really makes my heart heavy from the loss of Christina, also smile because the words you sing about her are so true and beautiful. Thank you for writing this song Connie
This is the most beautiful song you have ever written. This was amazing and had me in tears. I'm going to miss her so much and I know you will too. You usually look at the camera and smile at the end of your songs. You didn't look at the camera once. I can tell you're feeling the pain. My heart is still broken.
That was so, so beautiful, Connie! Thank you. I'm sure Christina is smiling down on that beautiful tribute. Now excuse me while my tears build an ocean.
Absolutely breathtaking. I don't really know much about Cristina so when I hear this song I don't think of her, but think of those people in Orlando. Our world doesn't deserve good people when innocents like those in that club are slaughtered just for being true to themselves...
Such a very Beautiful song Connie! I cried so hard.. It's so sad what happened to her! But she is in a better place now! She is safe with the Angels now! 💖💖💖💖 You are also an Inspiration to all of us too Connie! You are such a Beautiful and Talented and Incredible girl with such a kind heart and soul.. You will continue to shine down here while Christina shines up above! I love this video Connie! Love the song too! You are truly Amazing! Christina will always be an Inspiration! She will always be Amazing and she will NEVER be forgotten! Her Spirit and her Memory will live on forever! I love you so much Connie!! 💕💕💕🎤🎤💞🎀💗💖💖
Christina was too bright a spirit...too pure...too lovely a soul...for this ugly world. Her presence made the darkness of the world not so bleak, and in her rested hope of all who knew her or were her fans. With her gone, our lives and this world is diminished. Well sung Connie. A fitting tribute.
Such a beautiful song, Connie - so heartfelt and a lovely tribute to dear Christina Grimmie. No doubt you felt like you knew Christina, and you, like countless fans, are devastated much like her in- person friends. We never totally get over a loss like this, but we can look forward to being so glad she was a part of our lives, and our joyous memories are our prize possessions. We religious types are also glad as we just know that Ms. Grimmie is at home and surrounded by love in the spirit realm on the other side. So much evil happens, but we are so sure that God is good and that everything will be made good "the best is yet to come!" Sincere wishes for blessings to you and yours, as we pray for Christina's loved ones :)
So many people paying tribute to her, it made me realize just how big the impact Christina had on us. I hope she can see these people expressing their appreciation and really knew how loved and such an inspiration Christina Grimmie was.
I cannot believe that we live in a world where people are killed for doing what they love. So much cruelty for no reason at all. Christina really was an angel - your lyrics are so beautiful Connie X
:C
We DON'T "live in a world where people are killed for doing what they love" So you must get that idea right out of your head immediately!
+Sarah Jowett actually we do live in a world where we are killed for that exact reason. police are aiming toward it being a planned kill. against her, against her career choice. against what she believed in & stood for. people are cruel, were not safe to be who & what we are. we need to be careful
+Sarah Jowett That's a rather naive comment. People are killed just for being a different shade, what makes you think people aren't killed for doing what they love too? I'm not saying that was the reason for this particular death, but it's truly unrealistic to assume that people aren't killed for less than just merely existing. Either you're young and inexperienced with life or life was very kind to you. Either way, extremely unrealistic way of assuming murderers intentions.
+Espers San couldn't agree more.
Now that she is gone everyone shows their appreciation. I hope Christina truly knew how much she was loved and appreciated when she was still alive. I hope she knew about the impact she had on all these people. She was an inspiration and I just hope she knew that.
I'm sure she did :) Christina wouldn't have taken it for granted
I'm sure she did :) Christina wouldn't have taken it for granted
Oh my god. Your words are so..powerful.
Yes, indeed Christina knew how much she was loved & appreciated while she was among us physically because it constantly showed in that bright light of hers, that amazing smile, and unconditional love she showed to everyone she met & knew in her precious life! She knew alright 😀
+Lucy Liang GOD has a specific job for all of us in Heaven,hopefully hers is music but if not it is what she is meant to do..I hope mines music too...God Bless All
This was the most beautiful tribute. I'm shedding tears as I'm hanging on to every word in this song... no lyrics fit anymore perfect than these. This world lost a lot when we lost Christina.
I couldn't have stated it better myself.
Pete in Canada...feeling the same way.. RIP Tina... thank you Connie
When I saw the report about Christina's death I, for the first time in my life, experienced the physical reaction of shock. I just couldn't take in what I was reading. The nightclub killings that followed have left me bewildered and apprehensive. Let us hope that the impulse for peace and world harmony will rise in the hesrts of mankind.
Yes same here. I have no words. If it wasn't for Connie I would still think Christina was alive and wait for her next video. Rest in Peace Christina
Me to
me too
peace in the universe.. where we can get that?
+Mary Grace in our hearts...
This is Connie at her best. Originality, piano, voice, room at home and a camera. No gimmicks needed - stunning.
I can just imagine Christina there with you,singing along and thanking you for what you're doing and telling you that she loves you.
Don't know why. I keep coming back to hear this fantastic original time after time. Can't praise Connie enough for writing and singing this. Too me it is absolutely topclass composing and performing for any age.
Can't stop listening to this tribute. The more I listen the more beautiful the lyrics and melody is. To know that Connie wrote this in one day is truly amazing. She is only 15. True talent and truly a great sweet girl.
I love how all these RUclips artists are creating songs for Christina. It really is a great way to honor her.
What a touching tribute. Couldn't help but cry at the line "Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing" RIP Christina
Still this day this song touches me so much. Masterpiece by Connie Talbot, which really shows her potential.
This song is just perfection..And Connie wrote it in just one evening.
Christina was such a great singer and person😭
Oh my god.. this song makes me cry....😭
Going back to hear this.
Can`t praise you enough for this song written in a day, Connie.
It is just one of the best songs ever written. Christina would be so proud.
LYRICS:
Sailing Safe [Original] - Connie Talbot
A Tribute to Christina Grimmie
Heartbreaking all around,
We speak but there’s no sound.
Black stains upon our cheeks,
Our tears come falling down.
Cry a river over you,
And drown in its despair.
I know I didn’t know you,
But I know it isn’t fair.
Cause we lost an angel,
We lost an angel in earth as well as heaven.
We lost an angel.
And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please
Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing.
And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here.
Sailing safe…
You heal the broken hearts with your own melody,
Taught us that it’s okay to not follow society.
This world never deserved you so I say goodbye tonight.
Good night, God bless you, rest in paradise.
And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please
Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing.
And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here.
Sailing safe….
-----------------------------
Connie this is a wonderful tribute to Christina. God bless. Take care everyone.
thank you
Yes, thanks.
Thank you for the lyrics
I think instead of "we lost an angel to nothing as well as heaven" it should be "we lost an angel to earth as well as heaven". That's just what I heard :)
ah yes. :)
I MISS THIS GIRL. WROTE THIS SONG AND ANOTHER SONG AT AGE 15, THE SAME DAY. WISH SHE'D WRITE MORE OF HER OWN MUSIC TODAY. GOD BLESS CONNIE.
I don't know what's more beautiful - her personality, her voice or her look.
This is just beautiful. So so beautiful.
Vc é muito linda..❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful , heartfelt song. Thank you Connie. I've never known of you until today , when I was searching for tributes to Christina. You've just gained a new fan. It's proof that even in tragedy , we are taught that there is much more good than evil in this world. Bless you Connie and RIP Christina. Heaven has an amazing new angel
You are so lucky! You have stumbled our own angel, our Sweet Connie! You are lucky that you can now see her numerous other works that fill our hearts with love and joy. Luckier still, you will see that both her lovely art and inspiring personal efforts to help the world grow in both depth and impact. At only 15, she is just getting started and I believe she will be an historic figure.
so sensitive, empathic, geniune .... I am speechless, Connie.

Though probably unintentional, that's an oxymoron.
intermenater Of course it is. LOL! I thought it silly! Your initial comment I believe is quite accurate!! :)
It is MY opinion that those who comment upon other people's opinions are indeed giving an opinion... and I agree with +intermenator
To date (19 June '16), Connie's beautiful song has attracted 35 thumbs down... and those who gave them, IMO, are jealous jerks!
*R {:-)*
June 10, 2016 was a very sad for all of us who loved Christina and loved her singing. Connie this song is so beautiful. You sing this song with such feeling and meaning. The world has lost a lovely, talented girl. RIP Christina, May the Angels give you wings to fly
I remember watching Christina's covers for the first time... When she still had her 'poofy' hair. I could watch them all day. Her voice was incredible and she was such a beautiful soul. Absolutely devastated about what happened.
This is a beautiful and amazing song Connie ♡ I'm very proud of being a connoefriend and proud of you, your heart is full of love and I love you share this love with the people. I LOVE YOU CONNIE and thanks for this beautiful song for Christina, I'm sure she aprecciates it from the other side and also her family. God bless you Con xoxo ♡
conniefriend* I love that you share...*
This is a beautiful song. Connie shows what a good writer she is to be able to post this in two days. This was from the heart.
Thank you, Connie. What a wonderful person you are..
This song is so beautiful. I don't know how to describe it but it's written in a style that would fit christinas voice very well. Is it weird that I can somehow imagine her singing this?
Perfection. Thank You Connie. "Christina Never Forget."
This brought me tears, the song and what happened to Christina... I can't believe she died just like that...
When I first started watching videos on RUclips 8 years ago, Christina was the first person I started watching on RUclips because I just loved her originality in her voice which had incredible vocal capabilities. I loved her style and most importantly she was such a humble person with a lot of sense of humor. The news still shocks me but heaven has just gained a beautiful angel. #RIPChristina #PrayforOrlando
Holy shit, I can barely see my keypad as I typing this cause I'm crying again... This is such a beautiful song! I'm sure that Christina is smiling down at you Connie for writing and singing this beautiful song
R.I.P Christina Grimmie 🌹
When Christina was taken away from the world, I was in total shock. For days I felt like having lost someone from my own family. Even today I sometimes listen to her music and for some moments I forget she’s not around anymore. How come could some terrible thing get to her?
That is how much she was loved. And thank you, Connie, for writing this song, which is so beautiful as the person she was.
Such a touching tribute to Christina Grimmie. Rest in peace, Christina.
I live 10 mi. from where that happened with Christina ....she was an exceptional talent and she is missed!
I dont know how this song could make me cry in a snap.
This is the most wonderful tribute I heard since I know about Christina...
She was... I don't know, I loved her so much... My heart is more than broken. I can't stop crying. I think about it every day. And your song says everything I can't.
Thank you so much.
Christina will live in our memories and hearts.
Have you listened to the song Tyler Ward wrote about her? It's also super emotional especially since he knew her personally and they were close friends.

I go listening to it right now. Thank you.

I'm so sad she died, but at the same time i'm so angry someone did that. Someone actually shot an angel and that is gonna disturb me for months. I will never get over this, i wish i didn't find her channel back in 2011 and became a fan, i wouldn't be in such a pain. #RIPChristina bless her family.
me too :C
oh noooooo don't say that! You would have missed soo much
In fans' hearts she'll always go on...
+Kate Wibberly well said man. She'll forever live on. Her spirit lives on with God. 😭😭😭 #neverforgotten
She was just a human and she bleeded when she felt down...
She crashed and she broke down...
This Song has got to be the most beautiful song in the world
, you are so fantastic, so Amazing....
This is so beautiful I can't keep coming back to it. I started watching Christina 4-5 years ago. I'm thankful for this cover. Thank you Connie.x

R.I.P Christina Grimmie and Chester Bennington. This is a beautiful song.
It's 2020 now and I can't listen to that song without crying.
we lost a beautiful and talented angel, man its been hard without her here :'(
Well ... I'm French and I didn't know about what happened to her, I'm shocked to learn it here ... She was not an artist I followed with fever but she was still a great singer and I listened a lot of her covers and songs, so it's sadly that I learn she is not among us now ... I hope she rests in peace and her family has my support too. Thank you for all you've done for her, Connie !
she got shot
She got shot at her own concert in Florida
23 It was at her own concert. She was greeting fans and the man walked up to her and shot her but that isn't the point. We lost many innocent people this weekend.
+23 it is after her OWN concert
Ya it was because he was a deranged fan who loved Christina and thought she was ganna marry him but he found out she had a bf and killed her then him so that she would be with him for ever she's in a better place now and yes she's teaching the angels now how to sing if u listen you may even hear them
I can't help it... Everytime I hear to this song I end up crying. Thanks for this little piece of miracle, Connie. It can't be more perfect.
honestly one pf the best original songs online i have ever heard , best Christina tribute ... we all miss her
I never followed any celebrities on instagram, twitter etc... except Christina Grimmie. I loved her and when I heard she passed... it was so devestating to me. I'm still not over it.
An angel's tribute to another angel that went up ahead. 😢
Thank you Connie for such a beautiful and an amazing tribute to Christina 🥺💚💚💚 RIP Christina Grimmie
I can't watch this without tearing up 😭😭😭 it was such a beautiful tribute to an amazing singer 💜
I was watching Christina's covers while Connie plays this original for her,it blends in her videos so much.R.I.P. Chris!!!
How beautiful! I'd like to dedicate this song as well to all the victims of the recent Orlando shooting. My thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends 💗
We need to be able to buy this song!!! Please publish it!!! I'd buy it a million times! The world needs to hear your song Connie!❤️❤️❤️
wow beautiful song well played by a beautiful soul
Beautiful, Connie I’m going to share you with over 5 thousand on Facebook, will many of all your songs. I will continue, your voice is amazing, I’ve watched you since the first time I see you so small and young. You are going to be a very famous artist
I am a few years too late but I just have to leave a comment after listening to it. The lyrics are so well written and the song itself is just perfection. If I listened to this song without knowing who wrote it I would have thought that a professional singer/songwriter wrote it.
It does not happen very often that a song makes me so emotional. If this is the case I know that it was written and sung by a true talent. Very well done, Connie!
She is such an inspiration to everyone and to me. She's a star that glittering out in the dark and losing her cause lots of pain and heartaches throughout the nation and all over the globe. This song is just amazingly beautiful, every words.
She sounds like an angel.
I love her voice!!
it's so sad Christina Grimmie died:(
me too
dude, you are like, everywhere
She does, love it
A living angel tribute to another angel in heaven. So beautiful!
I didn't know Christina until after her death. I may not be as sad as the fans that knew he'd before she was shot, but I am greatly moved and saddened by this song. We really did lose an angel, and that 1 person who hated her in the millions that loved her really shouldn't have been at that one concert. They are sick and evil, and she would be standing somewhere in the world, happily hugging someone or singing. This is a beautiful song and I really love both you and Christina. Than you so much for writhing this song.
This song is pure, sincere, and heartfelt so beautiful sung Thank you Connie. And please take procedures to protect yourself at meet and greets. This is just so senseless that we lost her horrible!
Maybe Connie will not end up a singer because of this..Who knows.
Shows how emotion is how music is truly made, this is by far your greatest song and you wrote it within a few days; Christina lives on in this song
Beautiful song Connie. I know she's smiling down on you.
Christina meant so much to me and was one of the reasons why i'm here on youtube
and why I started making covers. The past three days i've been crying, in shock, and absolutely heartbroken.
For the first time, I felt absolutely numb. I can't believe that's how she went. She seemed so humble and kind.
Rest in peace Christina :( Gone way too soon. Forever remembered.
Very Sweet Connie, I have post from Christina when she used to write to me in her earlier days. I was in shock to hear about her. You are truly a Sweetheart for doing this in her memory. Watching as you grow I have seen your Kindness! Love Ye'
Connie, this is such a beautiful tribute to Christina.:) #RIPChristina
Truly a beautiful tribute ❤️!
I've played the piano since the age of 4 and now I am 16. With even a diploma in piano I still struggle to compose a song. Connie is not only beautiful inside and out, she is talented and an inspiration to me and I'm sure to all of you too. It fascinates me how she can compose such a great great song along with the chords that match perfectly together. Not afraid to say this is one of the best song I have heard and you have composed Connie!
So emotional. You know that this is saddest song connie ever sing. And theres is no little smile and a wave she mostly do on every last part of her videos.
From this beautiful song, We all can know how much Christina is an inspiration to Connie and of course to the world. Thank you Connie, I'm sure that Christina is proud of you... x RIP Christina.
A tribute to an angel, from an angel..
So sweet of you. God bless you for it.
Now i sit here again and cry. I saw the RIP letters for her on saturday morning and was in a deep shock for hours. I couldn´t believe what i was reading there. The question in my mind which will perhaps never has an answer for all of us is: WHY? This song says everything what I and certainly many others feel right now. Thank you Connie that you have shared your deepest and saddest feelings with all of us. You should sing this song in front of an big audience filled with family members, friends and fans from Christina. I´m sure that you would speak deep from the bottom of their hearts. Through your song can you speak for all those peoples which can´t find words in this hard situation for this cruel death.
So, So, So, beautiful to listening to and I love it
So beautiful, the emotion can really be felt. RIP, angel.
How fitting that one artist pays tribute to another artist with the gift of music, and not just a song, but really a piece of your troubled heart. I hope writing this song helps you heal, Connie, because it's going to help a lot of others to do the same. Thank you for this.
Your are absolutely right, we lost her way too soon. I watched here throughout the season she was on the Voice and then I her of her passing. I was saddened that such a young promising talent was taken from us so soon. Beautiful song.
Even after all this time has gone by, there is not a second that goes by I haven't thought of this sweet girl and her family. I remember having the honor of sending her mom a handmade journal. This was truly a beautiful song, and I was definitely crying
did you ever recieve anything back
Profound lyrical imagery. From a fifteen year-old. It moves the heart. Gives us hope.
Heartwrenching & beautiful tribute dedicated to Christina. I like seeing the love being shown for her. She deserves every bit of it.
its just so sad the love had to be in wake of her death : (
jessica fleming I agree. It never should've went down this way.
+Derrik Grella i love your profile picture!
+MasterPoke123 Thank you! 2 of my favorites from American Idol :)
Beautiful song Connie, thank you for sharing this. God Bless.
Ever since you uploaded this I've listened to it. It's so beautiful and it really makes my heart heavy from the loss of Christina, also smile because the words you sing about her are so true and beautiful. Thank you for writing this song Connie
This song couldn’t be put together more beautifully
Connie you are world class ! Beautiful girl with such a beautiful voice ! Nicely you listen !
WTH, my eyes are sweating ......that was beautiful, young lady!!
Thank you for her ... French fan of christina and you
Thank you very much Connie for the song, your voice is beautiful and this song is now my favorite...😍❤
This song is painfully beautiful...
This song is beautiful and a perfect tribute. Christina was a great person! I love her music
This is the most beautiful song you have ever written. This was amazing and had me in tears. I'm going to miss her so much and I know you will too. You usually look at the camera and smile at the end of your songs. You didn't look at the camera once. I can tell you're feeling the pain. My heart is still broken.
This is the most beautiful I’ve ever heard thanks so much for this Connie it’s beautiful
This is probably the world's best song tribute to Christina. It's so meaningful and it just connects one line after another. Great job Connie
joash law The lyrics are absolutely heartbreaking..So are the melody. A masterpiece in my view.
That was so, so beautiful, Connie! Thank you. I'm sure Christina is smiling down on that beautiful tribute. Now excuse me while my tears build an ocean.
Absolutely breathtaking. I don't really know much about Cristina so when I hear this song I don't think of her, but think of those people in Orlando. Our world doesn't deserve good people when innocents like those in that club are slaughtered just for being true to themselves...
An angel singing to another angel
Such a very Beautiful song Connie! I cried so hard.. It's so sad what happened to her! But she is in a better place now! She is safe with the Angels now! 💖💖💖💖 You are also an Inspiration to all of us too Connie! You are such a Beautiful and Talented and Incredible girl with such a kind heart and soul.. You will continue to shine down here while Christina shines up above! I love this video Connie! Love the song too! You are truly Amazing! Christina will always be an Inspiration! She will always be Amazing and she will NEVER be forgotten! Her Spirit and her Memory will live on forever! I love you so much Connie!! 💕💕💕🎤🎤💞🎀💗💖💖
God is going to bless you for all you do to us through your music
she will probably be in movies pretty soon. she has the perfect voice and looks.
Christina was too bright a spirit...too pure...too lovely a soul...for this ugly world. Her presence made the darkness of the world not so bleak, and in her rested hope of all who knew her or were her fans. With her gone, our lives and this world is diminished. Well sung Connie. A fitting tribute.
Beautiful song, Connie. I sincerely hope after this you remain safe if you do meet and greets. God Bless!
Thank you Connie for this tribute to Christina Grimmie. Your song is really a beautiful song, God bless you!
I was very sad because I liked her a lot .. I do not resign and I hope God comfort her family .. Thank you for this beautiful song
Damn makes me cry
You're a huge star :(
Like christina.
Such a beautiful song, Connie - so heartfelt and a lovely tribute to dear Christina Grimmie. No doubt you felt like you knew Christina, and you, like countless fans, are devastated much like her in- person friends. We never totally get over a loss like this, but we can look forward to being so glad she was a part of our lives, and our joyous memories are our prize possessions. We religious types are also glad as we just know that Ms. Grimmie is at home and surrounded by love in the spirit realm on the other side. So much evil happens, but we are so sure that God is good and that everything will be made good "the best is yet to come!" Sincere wishes for blessings to you and yours, as we pray for Christina's loved ones :)
So many people paying tribute to her, it made me realize just how big the impact Christina had on us. I hope she can see these people expressing their appreciation and really knew how loved and such an inspiration Christina Grimmie was.
