My son Brian was murdered in 2014. This song brings him back--a little. I can cry like a baby when I hear this song. No parent should have to go through this feeling.

@@RIDETHESUNSHINE Hi Will, my observation was not directed at your post: it was a reflection on the state of human existence if Mr Ford's comment was universally true. All the best, John.
My horse Kate died in a tragic accident 6 years ago. Whenever I hear this song I am transported back to the long rides with her in the sun, and I can't help but cry. Thank you for this song and hopefully I will be back there with her one day.
i watched a movie. saw the credits and listened to the closing soundtrack the wild goose.spent two years trying to find the artiste responsible for this amount of effort. TIME WELL SPENT .
There's a jazz standard called "Nature Boy". Written in 1947 by Eden Ahbez, and first popularized by Nat King Cole. The son "Bitter Boy" seems like that song's younger cousin.
Moved to mention this because I have been binge-listening to Kate again on RUclips for the last couple of days. When I interviewed her (not for the first time) a few years ago, she named this as her "favourite own song" though she may well feel she has written better since. That comment can be seen at www.salutlive.com/2007/09/conversations-1.htm, the last section of a very warm and open three-part interview (there are links to the other two). There are also one or two dead links; it's been a while.
He would listen to this song and tear up, telling me he was the bitter boy. And here I am wishing to God that I cannot feel it. Am I stupid or was he mean.. how did he know. How did I not
she wrote it in memory of her uncle who never married but who promised his dad he would look after his mum after he died. Kate told this in one of her concerts I went to.
@@Monkshabit1 It would be interesting to know the path of gestation from uncle, through mother and father, to their daughter, and to the song. Or whatever other path the Muse illuminated.

I feel so sad for you. You’re right, no one should go through that. I can only offer heartfelt sympathy.

@@johnwatts328 My apologies. Please Be Well, Will
Such an under rated singer.
What a lovely, sad song. So beautiful, her songs always bring back memories.
Search forever and you'll not find a more beautiful song.
true
just discovered this singer -- WOW she's great and this song!!! :)
She's incredible can't believe I've only known of her for such a short time
she has such a nice voice
Reminds me of a friend I have just lost. She has not died but she is lost but I still love her.
The finest songwriter in the world today.
joss63 yes she is wish there were more like her
My horse Kate died in a tragic accident 6 years ago. Whenever I hear this song I am transported back to the long rides with her in the sun, and I can't help but cry.
Thank you for this song and hopefully I will be back there with her one day.
I am very sorry for you Hollie. Animals are the best en most pure friends a human being can have! Wonder sometimes if we deserve it.
My heart breaks for you. I lost a lovely mare many years ago. She was my heart. I still miss her so much.
Amazing song, i listen to this over and over
I love this song too.
Greeting from germany

That's how I found her too, some Hallmark Christmas movie.
Very beautiful
Perfection!
truly wonderful

Nice track.
I miss you, Brian
I have discovered another artist upon which I want to spend all my money. Kate Rusby: take my money! XD
He would listen to this song and tear up, telling me he was the bitter boy. And here I am wishing to God that I cannot feel it. Am I stupid or was he mean.. how did he know. How did I not
Jay me or does this song make you think about what goes on in the world
I guess that I do not understand the story of the song, but I like it whatever it means perhaps someone can explain this.

Kiara Thompson I know what you mean Kiara - only Kate can move people in this way
