Just saw them play their Adelaide show, they ended their act with this song and at the end the entire arena sang the La, la, la, la, la part for about 4 minutes until they came out and smashed an encore. Was a powerful moment
Sending you love. My father and I are very close now in my adulthood although my mother moved us away from him when I was a child. Keep loving John. It’s worth it.
I saw an interview recently where Adam Duritz of Counting Crows said that Gang of Youths are the best band on the planet right now... & I don't know how or why I hadn't heard of them. This was the first thing I saw after searching & my God, I feel weirdly hopefully elated & heartbroken at the same time. Just downloaded angel in realtime & an going to give the whole thing a listen through, but from the few songs I've heard... absolutely, in love. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The most personal of family stories told with exquisite writing from Dave and the simplicity of it all with the performance here and on the album just really hits hard. Perfection!
Went to concert in Newcastle Friday 5th August, absolutely fucking brilliant!!! They are above entertainment, just blended in ,wouldn’t hesitate going again
The whole album is genuinely amazing. Gets you right in the feelings. I was describing the 1st track 'you in everything' to my girlfriend as the musical equivalent to the first 10 minutes of disneys Up.
Está canción toca lo más profundo de mi, recuerdo la primera vez que la escuché y llore por el amor que mi padre nos dió a mi y a mis hermanos. Las razones para irse y buscar otro hogar nunca lo entenderé. Pero espero algún día conocer a mis otros hermanos y quererlos como si siempre hubieran estado conmigo. Gracias por esta obra de arte, gracias por este recuerdo.
Brilliant song with far too few views. It reminds me a little of Dan Fogelberg's "Same old lang syne". A beautiful and maybe painful story..sung. So touching.
l have so many questions l want to ask by a fireside listening to this story of a song _ what was the amazing thing ? Can u all sing apart from your sister ? Have u all gathered around a Christmas tree and made an amazing chorus? Is the pain still as fresh as yesterday?then what do you do to make it hurt less? Ever fantasised of u all moving into a large large cottage and live far away from the world ? .... all too personal of questions but in a pot steam warmed kitchen on a cloudy day with my kittens playing around my feet l suddenly feel like youre personally telling me the story and l can ask __ such wonderful vocals ,such beautiful delivery so moving . Thank u
"She also sings better than me."
I literally cannot comprehend someone singing better.
Exactly, if thats true then I would love to hear her feature on a song sooner rather than later
This is story telling at its finest. Put it to music, add THAT voice- and you have magic, pure magic
Just saw them play their Adelaide show, they ended their act with this song and at the end the entire arena sang the La, la, la, la, la part for about 4 minutes until they came out and smashed an encore. Was a powerful moment
I was there too, it was amazing!
Also epic in Perth. What a brilliant show
Beautiful moment! And when he sang this song, he fumbled with a laugh and said there’s so many lyrics for this song
Spoilers!!! But I love ittttttt!!!
I was there it was amazing!!
This song hits super hard. It's been less than a week and my kids have moved away with their Mum. I needed that cathartic cry.
Hang in there bud
Take care of yourself 🙏
Hang in there. It might not seem like it at the moment, but things will get better.
Sending you love. My father and I are very close now in my adulthood although my mother moved us away from him when I was a child. Keep loving John. It’s worth it.
Brother keep strong 💪
Dave's voice always compliment the emotion of his songs.
Its a soothing voice very unique..
Something rare and magical only comes by, once every blue moon so to speak. This band and this man are one. Unique, magical and rare.
Rarely if ever has a song made me cry like this.
It's still mindblowing to me how he manage to play the same notes pattern for 6minutes but it still sound amazing
Just saw them in Sydney.. my god I teared up at several points in the concert and this was absolutely one of them. Such beautiful writing.
Holy fuck. How did he do that?...I've never heard a song like it. Cried the whole way through.
This whole album is incredible.

You're in for quite the journey...! Download "Go Farther in Lightness" next - possibly my favourite record of all time. Welcome to the gang!
You've been blown away im sure.. I can listen to him on repeat, just touches the soul ❤
This will go down in history as one of the best like a versions. Beautiful song and a perfect rendition
You know this is their own song right?
The most personal of family stories told with exquisite writing from Dave and the simplicity of it all with the performance here and on the album just really hits hard.
Perfection!
storytelling at its best. Much respect for putting your story out there
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard!
I agree..just heard it with my daughter..I'm 62..she is 29..I want to cry..makes me sad when I hear he dropped his baby off at a hospital
Love your dad always, you never know what the circumstances are of the the way he is. But a fathers love is the strongest he will ever have !

Listening to this song form my yoga instructor’s play list while working from home, naturally bursted into tears. It was so touching!
One of the best story telling songs ive heard, saw them in Brisbane and saw men weeping in the crowd, myself included
Always coming back for this
And if he forgives him then i should too. Don't have any words to describe the impact of that line
I just saw them live about an hour ago. This songs hits different with a stadium of chanting fans
Just saw their show in perth, unreal!
I just cant resist playing your videos whenever I see you in front of a piano.
Holy moly! I didn’t know I had it in me to cry today, but that definitely had the tears flowing. What a precious song.
This song never fails to make me cry and I have no idea why
What a beautiful song . People do things they gotta do . ❤️❤️❤️ . Beautiful Bro.
Beautiful song. About to see them in Melb next Friday! Pumped, can't wait!
Just saw them in sydney, buckle in it's a wild ride
I saw this in Toronto this year and it was truly incredible live ♥️🙏🏼
I feel very connected to this song 🎵
Such a beautiful story ❤
Got me right in the feels....Man Down , Man Down!!
Wow. This tore me up inside & had me crying almost the entire time. That was incredible. ❤️
The most beautiful, amazing, heart wrenching song ❤
I
The feeling inside the Sydney arena when Dave played this song was incredible
Knowing his family was there made it really special.
I love music like this l, something I can totally get lost into and put perspective on my on life.
so beautiful, you made a grown man cry♥
far out... what an amazing song... proper tears
Hardly cry because of music, but this one hit me hard when I saw them live in Amsterdam last month.
absolutely gorgeous dave 🥰
That wasn't me crying in my car on the way to work. Someone was peeling onions in the back seat.
Hahahaha I was at the beach and sand blew in my eyes
That was beautiful and bloody emotional.
Beautiful 🙏
Beautiful.
The whole album is genuinely amazing. Gets you right in the feelings. I was describing the 1st track 'you in everything' to my girlfriend as the musical equivalent to the first 10 minutes of disneys Up.
So beautiful this...
tears it got me
Beautiful
Thank you Dave. Another masterpiece!
Holy shit this tore me up...
this is the best song on the album
It’s amazing but Goal of the Century is no.1 for me - it’s incredible
I saw them perform this in New York and I wasn’t expecting it. This is the song that broke me. Cried so much it was cathartic.
Brooklyn Steel?
this makes my soul cry

This hits like Tim Michin's White Wine in the Sun. I am a MESS.
My brother died before I was born. This song hits me hard everytime I hear it.

That was beautiful, thank you.

If you've lost a father and your now reading this comment and are yet to start this video.....grab a box of tissues first
Good advice. I’ve have four cries watching this over the past few days and still haven’t learnt to grab the tissues!
Fuck I miss him.
Nice piano arrangement.
😭
Amazing song but what's with the high end on the vocal EQ
🥺😢😭❤️🩹❤️🔥
I thought it was AK Daddy on the thumbnail.
Wow, such a human, frail song. Just wow.
Nice

At first I was like wait is that Jon Snow?!? Oh, never mind 😬🙃
Fucking hell
Getting some big Springsteen vibes
Who sings the original
This isn't a cover - it's their original song they perform to begin the LAV segment. He's singing about his own family here :)
Small gang
😉😂
Wow - Sam Thaiday has a beautiful voice!
