So pleased that we wrote this song. It was one of the last ones for the album. Didn't realise how many people it would touch. Thanks for liking guys. Trevor
My brother introduced this song to me when I was a kid. He passed 2004, few days after my birthday. It reminded me of him when he was alive, and now that he's gone. Great song.
I think this is the prettiest song ever made. This album came out in March of 1991, what a wonderful time. I was a freshman in college learning my way. Me and my girlfriend from high school were still kind of seeing eachother, and this song brings my heart back to that moment. Struggling to make a living, going to school, but we had our love for one another and this song took us through tough times. I remember lighting a candle by that old jam box and listening to this wanting it never to end...
One of those songs that can capture perfectly the emotions one goes through when they lose someone important in their life. Everyone can relate to this song at one point or another in their life...
My mother had dedicated this song to my older brother who passed away before I was born when he was just a baby. He suffered for a long time after an accident, and I can't help but feel my mother blames herself to this day. When I listen to this song its almost like I can feel the suffering she's felt over all these years, and I feel the undying love she has always had for her son my brother and just how much she truly misses him. She's always been very overprotective of me and my siblings, and now I finally understand why. I love you mom, I hope you can eventually find peace after all you've been through and know that I'm so grateful for you. Forever and always. R.I.P Wesley
It will be 19 years ago that my cousin committed suicide. This song is dedicated to him. It is a reminder for our family every year come July. We miss you and we love, Mike. Yes, Angels really do fly and memories stay in our heart. ♥ ♥
+Carrie Abbott Did you manage to put a video of her to it? My father passed away 2 days ago and I was thinking of doing something with this song for his funeral but then, who knows, maybe my brother and sister will do their balls!
To all of the parents with lost children; and all of the children whom have lost their parents. or who have never been able to be near them, It is Devastating
When my brother died i wanted to play this at his viewing. Unfortunately I did not know the name of the artist at the time, and though I was pretty sure of the title, we just couldn't come up with the song at the time. I wish I had....
@annieannie6Wow that's was a sad story you just told, I'm moved by your story. But the question "is true love is 4-ever" It depend on how you look at love. Sensation of love only arise when memories are being triger and only remain because of memories. What's feeding your love is your memories of him that you can't let go. With pratice of mindfullness you could still have memories of him without any attachment of him and accompany of love for him. Too much love it will eventually turn into pain.
I never knew you sang this song until it played today on a back in the day replay on SiriusXM for the year 1991. I've heard it around before but had no idea who performed it. Well done!
I introduced my Mom to this song when my step-father passed on 12/26/1991 in a car crash. My mother passed 06/02/2023 and this is the song we will play after Hello Darlin’ by Conway Twitty at her celebration of life. This song means so much to my family to this day.
I did from the first time I heard it! But you are right, largely a forgotten hit by a forgotten band (anybody recall Shake for the Sheik?) I’ll Be There is easily The Escape Club’s best song and one of my favorites from the early 1990s. It speaks to everybody on some level because we all have to deal with loss and grief at some point in our life. I cannot understand how this was not a bigger hit than it was.
BloomingOnion You're absolutely right! I nwan it was a top 40 hit back in 1991... Got alit if radioplay... THAT year! SHOULD have been a timeless hit song though! Ubstead "Wild Wild West" becane that "lasting" song! I still hear it from tine to time.. usually at a Public place on an Internet radio or occasionally an 80's flashback song on local radio. "I'll BE There" however, I NEVER hear.. anywhere and most people (even in the appropriate age range..late 30's - early 50's) look at me like they're dumbfounded when I mention this song!!
I lost my wife last month. She was 35 and I am left with 2 young children. I miss her so much. This song is amazing and every time I hear it I fell like she is watching over us.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Carry your wife in your heart and she will always be with you. I lost my husband 12 1/2 years ago at 39 and this is what I try to do. Take care
My brother was killed 1 year ago, and in his funeral I played this song, I believe he is with me, I month later exactly, my wife and I knew she was pregnant, we had tried for several years, so, he, my brother made that possible, he talked to God and the miracle was possible, thanks Jairo, for that gift, at this time my new borned son is with us, and we are very happy, but sad at the same time because you're not with us to share that happiness, we will love you forever, wait for me, I'll be there...
I have cancer and 2 brain aneurysms! So I am living each day to the fullest as long as my lets me. My headaches are the worst! But I have plans made for this song to play dedicated to my 2 beautiful daughters in hope on their bad days it will get them through this! I also want them to mama was not afraid! I love them oh too much!!!
God Bless you!!! This was dedicated to me from someone I loved very much and lost extremely suddenly back in 1991, it still has the same meaning all these years later. I hope it will mean as much to your family! I wish you all the best in your fight!!!
I can't express how much your thoughts and prayers mean to me and my family! Thank you all prayers and only thing I have to lean on sometimes. Again thank you for all your prayers and wishful thinking, just know that ihave it stopped fighting yet.....
Angela Harrison You should live to the fullest. Im sorry about what has happened to you. I lost my dad when i was 11 years old. He had a brain aneurysm and his brain aneurysm took over and got in a car accident. we never knew he had one til it was to late. i wish you the best of luck. Im 16 now and still cry when any one mentions death. you never move one from something like that. R.I.P Daddy (03-27-71)-(02-04-11)
While my mother was dying of cancer in the fall of 1991 she heard this song on VH1 and loved it. She told my sister and I she wanted it played at her funeral. She died January 1, 1992. We played this song at her funeral like she requested. I will always love this song, as it was a favorite of my wonderful mother.
My mom went to be with my dad on June 25 2018. Daddy passed Aug 1, 1976... when she opened her eyes, there he was, right along with Jesus...I pray she finally found the smile that was left in 1976...
had this song play at my mother's funeral. Wasn't a dry eye to be found. wow.. did these guys know they had created a masterpiece when they recorded this?
One song that has always been a favorite.(I bought Dollars and Sex for this track...but, this Album is amazing from Edge of your Bed to Sugar Man) But after a close friend took his own life about 10 years ago, this one hits hard to me. Peace to you, Charlie. It's not the same without you here.....
Thank you, Trevor. The Escape Club wrote the songs of my life! You and the band mean a lot to me. Like the brothers I needed in my life! Much love and respect to you!
This song was given to me when my son died....I cried all the time with it. Now my other son has died and it means so much to know they are both with me forever. Nothing can separate us... ever.
I have posted this song to so many grieving people as it helped me get through my mother's death. I was crying when I finally let myself feel her death and I got up for some reason and turned on the radio and this song was playing. Funny thing is she used to always call me "My love" so when I turned the radio on the first part of the song I heard was "Don't be afraid, oh my love, I'll be watching you from above and I'd give all the world tonight to be with you, cause I'm on your side and I still care, I may have died but I've gone nowhere. Just think of me and I'll be there." Those words gave me more comfort and closure than the band and writers could possibly know.
my son's biological father died when I was 7 weeks pregnant and only 18 years old he was all I had ever known since I was 13 I gave birth to a boy looks just like him act just like him talks just like him now he is expecting a baby boy any day and after 21 years it still feels like yesterday and it feels like it's not fair cuz he won't be allowed to be there to share this it's the worst pain and never knew was even possible to have you try to carry on with life because you have a child to live for and try to give them a happy life until they start asking questions about daddy but we made it and now he's giving us another baby Schroeder boy and will now be able to carry the shredder name on he was the last chance to keep the mail sorter inline and we are fortunately blessed with the just that exact happening the baby is a boy he will be loved just as much as Simon is loved and just as much as you have always been loved and always will be and I will make sure he knows all about you just as I did for Simon and then we will all have just a little piece of you to always carry with us I miss you more than I thought was possible to do and still love you as much as the air that I breathe sweet Eternal dreams my love
Lost my mom suddenly on 8/14/16. Just heard this song for the first time (in many years, at least) minutes ago on Backtrax USA and almost bawled my eyes out. It's almost like she was sending a message to me through the radio because this was one of the hardest days in a while. Hard to believe this is the same group that did Wild Wild West!!!
This song truly saved my life. it had been 3 months since my husband died I worked nights had a very long drive home. Everyone knew I wasn't able to sleep so I knew it would look like an accident. I put all my affairs in order. On the faithful night that I planned to drive off the top of the 3 mile bridge This song came on the radio 1st time I ever heard it. By the time I got to the top I just kept driving, new he'd always be there. Almost 20 yrs ago&I still feel him. Song is true love is 4-ever
william smith wow. Two of my favorite people, who happened to fall in love and get married, had a baby in the same 24 hour stretch that mama passed. The timing of those events are heartbreakingly uncanny. So sorry for your loss. Time helps the healing process a little bit, I'm sure, but the ache never leaves, I would assume. Thanks for the kind words.
This will be the song I will ask in my will to play at my funeral. The funny thing is, back then I was like 15 and I always knew this song will be the one.
This song has brought so much solace to my life during low points as well as ground me in what's really important during my triumphs. Thank you, Trevor. This will always be an eternal masterpiece to me.
love the song. It was played at my step dad's funeral when I was 5 years old. Hearing this always brings back those memories. I am now 31 years old. I always tear up hearing this song
I'll be there was one of my husband's most favourite songs. I still enjoy sitting &listening to this song ...many years after too. Never dreamt that he would leave me so early.
I was told that a friend of mine is doing crack cocaine and I have already lost a friend at a young age and with Shiva's grace I hope I'm not going to another funeral for yet another friend.
Wow .. such memories. My father passed away when I was 17 on 10/04/1991. This song was the first thing I heard when the hospital called to let us know he peacefully passed away moments after we left his side. The day of his funeral, 3 days later, shortly after watching his casket being lowered, I got back into a family member's car (not wanting to be in the funeral home limo one more second) and this song, again, was the first one on the radio station. Never a moment goes by w/o dad in my thoughts, and this song a few beats behind in memory.
I'm sorry about your dad. It has the same effect on me because I remember hearing this song on the radio a day before and on Sept. 11, 2001 with the WTC attacks.
Dana Waters That is nice. My mom passed away a few months ago, leaving my Dad after being together for nearly 60 years. She left behind her 6 children, who still miss her each and every day.
Dana Waters Where the hell is my post??? I continue getting notifications if anyone replies to your post but I don't see mine! Considering I had posted about the death of both my parents, it's upsetting to not see it anywhere. :(
Dana Waters I was born in 1991 when this song came out also too the year my mother was in high school and got her diploma had me that same year I love this song.
Wow! What a blast from the past! I remember dancing to this song at my Senior Prom in 1992. Amazing song, but I don't think I've heard it in more than 20 years.
Thanks Trevor Steel, it's a beautiful song that I remember so much from hearing it on Rage (ABC TV Australia) so long ago now. it's stayed with me for all these years.
A high school friend of mine passed away in June 2013, just 28 years old. About two weeks after her passing, I was finishing a shift as a delivery driver and had to stop by the grocery store to pick up some product and this song was playing over the loudspeakers. It's so paradoxical how the loss of someone you had not spoken with for nearly twelve years brings you to tears. Listening to this song helps, I think of her every time I hear it.
First heard this song in 91 and haven't been able to think of or hear it since without getting at least slightly misty. One of the most moving pieces of music out there.
Feb. 11th, 2011- walked into my father's hospital room where he lay dead. HE WASNT JUST MY DADDY, HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND. LOVE THIS SONG FOR HIM AS HE HAS SENT WE SOME OF THE GREATEST FRIENDS OF MY LIFE SINCE HIS PASSING. I was a young 32 year old then. R.I.P DAD
Discovered this song back in 2000 when I had to part with a friend from Nicaragua back at the university. Had to listen again this time because we had to bury our mother barely 3 weeks ago. It's comforting makes me think those two are still around me.
Im 40 so I loved this when it was "current." Lol. But... I know what u mean. My mom never cared much for my music...ur talking about a Marilyn Manson and Slipknot fan...but I love this music. She actually liked this song. My parents were married for over 30 years, and every time I pull this up I think about their lifelong love. My own marriage is ending, and I'm so very heartbroken over it. But...this song is about real lifelong long.
my son left us and i wanted so badly to sing this beautiful song to him i wanted it to be reversed me instead of him soon im going to have my chance lynn
I just felt your aching heart Lynn 😔 this song was played at my fathers funeral . I was 21 years old 30 years have come and gone ....I've given him his first grandson . I'm now a mother to a beautiful son and I felt an ache upon reading your comment. There isn't a word in the world that can explain the pain of a mother losing a child. May God have mercy and help you ease this awful pain.
I distinctly remember riding home from an activity with my young men's church group when this song came on the radio. As a 17-year old kid, I had just lost my mom to cancer a few months earlier (2/26/91). While I had been raised in a religious home and taught that I'd see her again, I wasn't sure if I believed in the faith of my youth. I also drew little comfort from the numerous sincere attempts made by others to console me in my intense grief. Somehow this song reached me and caused me to hold onto at least a little bit of hope that she might really still be there.
You probably started cryin when you heard the song; that was probably really embarrassing being around all those other guys. Hopefully they understood and consoled you. Oftentimes such moments are very healing, even though we’d avoid them forever if we could due to the discomfort
@@EphemeralProductions I think I did, but I think they didn't notice. Frankly, I don't think they were very sure what to do to console me in general. I'm surprised at how emotionally immature we were at that age.
I lost my Father when I was just a boy of 12 years-old (1991). I had this song on a cassette tape, still do, I listened to this song more times than I can count. Loosing my Father as a boy was VERY hard... but this song connected with my soul, and I felt a little better when I listened. THANK YOU Escape Club for making this beautiful song, and thank you Trevor Steel for posting it. I am a Father now... I wish my Dad were here to hug and play with his grand children...
I lost my father 8 months ago and even though I know he's gone I know he's still around, death isn't an ending but a beginning and I know one day I'll see him again! Don't ever think death is forever people
Me and my sisters lost our loving and beautiful older sister September 21, 1991 to a horrific car accident. Today, Sept 21,2017. The pain of losing such a wonderful person,time will never heal . Every heartbreaking unbelievable pain, wanting her back mad at the world , all of this devastation takes its toll on us always, but on this day , my sisters and I always feel the pain of her not with us. Bond so strong, death couldn't break. But this is the song my sisters and IPicked to bid her farewell on her journey. But to comfort us in knowing she would look in on us from time to time. Always be here . In loving memory, Lucretia Marie Freeman
I will forever love and remember my beloved grandmother who passed on 11 Sep 14. Ma ma, you left us so suddenly, but we will be strong and you be strong too. I cannot forget someone who loved me so much and so unconditionally. She taught me the meaning of true love. It seems like just yesterday she was with us, in our daily lives, talking and laughing with us. I love you so much. I'd give all the world tonight to be with you. If I had one wish in this world right now it would be to see you and hug you again before you go on your way. Just wait for me, and when I am called home to be with you, I'll be there smiling. I will always remember because you said must be happy. So I will smile and wish you well till we meet again, because the thought of you being gone forever is too much to bear. I love you is never enough. I miss you so much and I will never forget your kind heart and beautiful face. I know if she understood English, this song would be what she wanted to say to me. Love you forever Ma ma.
My husband died Aug 29, 2021. We were married 30 years. He loved music. I was in my bedroom (we moved to live with dad) and I was going in and out of my room. I just happened to be in room when this song can on "90s music" I was listening for back noise. Suddenly I felt my brain and eyes being shifted to tv. Was it him? Do t know. But it was wild
This is still one of my favorite songs. It is brings all kinds of memories. Besides Amazing Grace and Over the Rainbow (Izzy version), it is incredibly heart felt and touching on so many levels.
+shadow1956aer Me too...actually just sent it to a friend who's having a hard time with her mom passing away...Love love love this song and so appropriate!
I say dies needlessly because I'm a herion addict in recovery with over 14 months clean. In that time ive been to more funerals than I have in my whole life... Friends just wanting to use one more last and it ends up being their last time....
shadow1956aer so sad and terrible! I am glad you are still alive Shadow!!! Over a year now! You can keep it up and keep doing it! There's people who believe in you, I know it! Keep in contact with your Higher Power and remember there's so much to live for in this life!!! Don't let this song be played anytime soon at your funeral! Big hugs!
every time I have heard this song since he passed 21 years ago it takes me right back to when I met him I fell in love with him been my favorite song ever since
I haven't seen this in many, many years. All I remembered about the video was a guy playing the pipes of pan underwater. I remember I got a set of those as a kid & was kind of disappointed because I thought they'd sound like this video.
Lost my mother in 2012.. Guess the world really came to an end for me that year... Listen to this every so often and cry thinking about her.. She loved this song and always said she wanted it played at her funeral...
only vaguely remember this song being from '91, came back to me after some radio station played this after 9-11-2001. one of the few songs can't make it through without getting a lil emotional, either
This song came on the radio when I drove home the day I found my father had passed away after a 9 month illness (brain cancer). It always have been very close to my heart.
this song never fail to make me feel very sad. had love this song since school days. recently been trying to come to terms w someoe who passed on years back.
my father passed when i was just a baby and all growing up i would hear this song and imagine it was him talking to me from heaven...love you daddy~
Very cool.
My brother introduced this song to me when I was a kid. He passed 2004, few days after my birthday. It reminded me of him when he was alive, and now that he's gone. Great song.
This song is over 20 years old. And I STILL can not get thru the whole thing without shedding a tear!
David Mitchell me too since 1991.
I think this is the prettiest song ever made. This album came out in March of 1991, what a wonderful time. I was a freshman in college learning my way. Me and my girlfriend from high school were still kind of seeing eachother, and this song brings my heart back to that moment. Struggling to make a living, going to school, but we had our love for one another and this song took us through tough times. I remember lighting a candle by that old jam box and listening to this wanting it never to end...
lost my uncle today 8/8/16 4:30pm from cancer still balling my eyes out RIP
Tyler White if I could type better right now I would but I will send you 😪❤❤
One of those songs that can capture perfectly the emotions one goes through when they lose someone important in their life. Everyone can relate to this song at one point or another in their life...
i am very much in love with this song--oh my God--mwahugzzzz
My mother had dedicated this song to my older brother who passed away before I was born when he was just a baby. He suffered for a long time after an accident, and I can't help but feel my mother blames herself to this day. When I listen to this song its almost like I can feel the suffering she's felt over all these years, and I feel the undying love she has always had for her son my brother and just how much she truly misses him. She's always been very overprotective of me and my siblings, and now I finally understand why. I love you mom, I hope you can eventually find peace after all you've been through and know that I'm so grateful for you. Forever and always.
R.I.P Wesley
I remember right after Michael Landon had died was when I first heard this I was in Minnesota. 1991. That was my favorite song all summer.
A masterpiece!!!
It will be 19 years ago that my cousin committed suicide. This song is dedicated to him. It is a reminder for our family every year come July. We miss you and we love, Mike. Yes, Angels really do fly and memories stay in our heart. ♥ ♥
Played this at my sisters funeral
this song is love. im a 41 year old metalhead who's loved this since it came out. I hope you have peace very soon....
+Dave Ewing Same here.
thank you
+Carrie Abbott Did you manage to put a video of her to it? My father passed away 2 days ago and I was thinking of doing something with this song for his funeral but then, who knows, maybe my brother and sister will do their balls!
Carrie Abbott ❤😪
To all of the parents with lost children; and all of the children whom have lost their parents. or who have never been able to be near them, It is Devastating
Heaven got some new angels and they'll be there for you. But not yet...
When my brother died i wanted to play this at his viewing. Unfortunately I did not know the name of the artist at the time, and though I was pretty sure of the title, we just couldn't come up with the song at the time. I wish I had....
Hang in there, Rusty. Sending you and your family positive thoughts and prayers. Keep us updated on your progress and how you're doing. God Bless.
For all !
Just think of me
And I'll be there
Rip.. my Cusin Daniel Lee.. love ur Cusin xa aka. Cory..
Today I would like to play this song for beautiful Jude...he was taken from his parents last week at only six months old-brain cancer.
EXCELENT!!!
Epic Song
A hit ballad of there Flag Song Wild Wild West must have religion meanings.
Not sure which song is sadder, this or Clapton's "Tears in Heaven."
@annieannie6Wow that's was a sad story you just told, I'm moved by your story. But the question "is true love is 4-ever" It depend on how you look at love. Sensation of love only arise when memories are being triger and only remain because of memories. What's feeding your love is your memories of him that you can't let go. With pratice of mindfullness you could still have memories of him without any attachment of him and accompany of love for him. Too much love it will eventually turn into pain.
thank you....
I dedicate this song to anyone who has ever lost someone they love dearly. May GOD be with you and comfort you always.
I never knew you sang this song until it played today on a back in the day replay on SiriusXM for the year 1991. I've heard it around before but had no idea who performed it. Well done!
Yeah that’s how I first heard of the song too! I’m so glad, it’s an excellent hidden gem from the early 90s
I introduced my Mom to this song when my step-father passed on 12/26/1991 in a car crash. My mother passed 06/02/2023 and this is the song we will play after Hello Darlin’ by Conway Twitty at her celebration of life. This song means so much to my family to this day.
wow.. did these guys know they had created a masterpiece when they recorded this?
...............and it's MUCH better than Wild Wild West!
lurch321 BY FAR! Such a shame it's like all but forgotten!
I did from the first time I heard it!

I don't think they did. As Trevor said in the description above, they didn't realize how many people it would touch when they wrote it.
I lost my wife last month. She was 35 and I am left with 2 young children. I miss her so much. This song is amazing and every time I hear it I fell like she is watching over us.
Thoughts & prayers with you and your family.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Carry your wife in your heart and she will always be with you. I lost my husband 12 1/2 years ago at 39 and this is what I try to do. Take care
it's been a couple years since you posted. still....I wish you well. be a good dad.
+Dave Ewing thank you very much Dave
I too lost my wife 2 months ago due to cancer at the age of 39...this song...really touches my heart and reminds me so much of her...thank u...

I have cancer and 2 brain aneurysms! So I am living each day to the fullest as long as my lets me. My headaches are the worst!

One of the most heart touching songs ever. Helps the hurting because it helps get it out in the open. If You have a heart, You FEEL this song.
William Hochenberger Absolutely 😪❤
You're so right!!!!! Such a sweet song.
what if I don't have one?
Beautifully worded..
My mom went to be with my dad on June 25 2018. Daddy passed Aug 1, 1976... when she opened her eyes, there he was, right along with Jesus...I pray she finally found the smile that was left in 1976...
had this song play at my mother's funeral. Wasn't a dry eye to be found.
wow.. did these guys know they had created a masterpiece when they recorded this?
A year ago today my mother died. This was one of her favorite songs. I miss her so much.
One song that has always been a favorite.(I bought Dollars and Sex for this track...but, this Album is amazing from Edge of your Bed to Sugar Man) But after a close friend took his own life about 10 years ago, this one hits hard to me. Peace to you, Charlie. It's not the same without you here.....
Thank you, Trevor. The Escape Club wrote the songs of my life! You and the band mean a lot to me. Like the brothers I needed in my life! Much love and respect to you!
This song was given to me when my son died....I cried all the time with it. Now my other son has died and it means so much to know they are both with me forever. Nothing can separate us... ever.
Just think of them and they will be there.........
I have posted this song to so many grieving people as it helped me get through my mother's death. I was crying when I finally let myself feel her death and I got up for some reason and turned on the radio and this song was playing. Funny thing is she used to always call me "My love" so when I turned the radio on the first part of the song I heard was "Don't be afraid, oh my love, I'll be watching you from above and I'd give all the world tonight to be with you, cause I'm on your side and I still care, I may have died but I've gone nowhere. Just think of me and I'll be there." Those words gave me more comfort and closure than the band and writers could possibly know.
So true.
Lost my mom in 1992 and this song gave me comfort. Just lost my brother Saturday Aug 20, 2016 and I am listening again. Thank you. much love.

It's hard I know. We do get through, but it's not the same. Take care. God Bless.
Thank you
to this day, 24 years after it was a hit, this song still chokes me up. what a great song
my son's biological father died when I was 7 weeks pregnant and only 18 years old he was all I had ever known since I was 13 I gave birth to a boy looks just like him act just like him talks just like him now he is expecting a baby boy any day and after 21 years it still feels like yesterday and it feels like it's not fair cuz he won't be allowed to be there to share this it's the worst pain and never knew was even possible to have you try to carry on with life because you have a child to live for and try to give them a happy life until they start asking questions about daddy but we made it and now he's giving us another baby Schroeder boy and will now be able to carry the shredder name on he was the last chance to keep the mail sorter inline and we are fortunately blessed with the just that exact happening the baby is a boy he will be loved just as much as Simon is loved and just as much as you have always been loved and always will be and I will make sure he knows all about you just as I did for Simon and then we will all have just a little piece of you to always carry with us I miss you more than I thought was possible to do and still love you as much as the air that I breathe sweet Eternal dreams my love
Lost my mom suddenly on 8/14/16. Just heard this song for the first time (in many years, at least) minutes ago on Backtrax USA and almost bawled my eyes out. It's almost like she was sending a message to me through the radio because this was one of the hardest days in a while. Hard to believe this is the same group that did Wild Wild West!!!
This song truly saved my life. it had been 3 months since my husband died I worked nights had a very long drive home. Everyone knew I wasn't able to sleep so I knew it would look like an accident. I put all my affairs in order. On the faithful night that I planned to drive off the top of the 3 mile bridge This song came on the radio 1st time I ever heard it. By the time I got to the top I just kept driving, new he'd always be there. Almost 20 yrs ago&I still feel him. Song is true love is 4-ever
it still sounds just as good as it did back in 1991. i love this song
Wow 30 years ago, I am getting up there. Memories of youth! When I lose someone, I think of this song!
lost my mother 1/7/16, and a friend recommended this song. I'm bawling my eyes out. thank you for uploading.
+Jenna Leigh feel better knowing she's looking down on you. Lost my dad 3 years ago 12 days before my daughter was born.
william smith wow. Two of my favorite people, who happened to fall in love and get married, had a baby in the same 24 hour stretch that mama passed. The timing of those events are heartbreakingly uncanny. So sorry for your loss. Time helps the healing process a little bit, I'm sure, but the ache never leaves, I would assume. Thanks for the kind words.
sorry for you
+Jenna Leigh keep your head up, i'm lonely as well
your mom will live in your heart, always. My best wishes to you.
oh! my GOD...imiss my father who passed away(july 20,2015)my tears can't help fallin',when i first heard this song...miss u so much father...luvu
Sofia Nicole Agatep my dad passed in 2010... 😢😢😢🙏🏼🙏🏼
This song always reminds me of my father because it came out the same year when he passed away. Thank you Escape Club for such a beautiful song. :)
This will be the song I will ask in my will to play at my funeral. The funny thing is, back then I was like 15 and I always knew this song will be the one.
'I may have died, but I've gone nowhere'.
This song has brought so much solace to my life during low points as well as ground me in what's really important during my triumphs. Thank you, Trevor. This will always be an eternal masterpiece to me.
love the song. It was played at my step dad's funeral when I was 5 years old. Hearing this always brings back those memories. I am now 31 years old. I always tear up hearing this song
I'll be there was one of my husband's most favourite songs.
I still enjoy sitting &listening to this song ...many years after too.
Never dreamt that he would leave me so early.
Susan Mathew 😪❤
They played this song at my friends funeral 16 years ago..he died in car crash as well...still can't listen to this song without crying :(
Monique M same here. it was his fav song😪❤
Miss you Dad😭 you will always be my first love💞
I was told that a friend of mine is doing crack cocaine and I have already lost a friend at a young age and with Shiva's grace I hope I'm not going to another funeral for yet another friend.
Wow .. such memories. My father passed away when I was 17 on 10/04/1991. This song was the first thing I heard when the hospital called to let us know he peacefully passed away moments after we left his side. The day of his funeral, 3 days later, shortly after watching his casket being lowered, I got back into a family member's car (not wanting to be in the funeral home limo one more second) and this song, again, was the first one on the radio station. Never a moment goes by w/o dad in my thoughts, and this song a few beats behind in memory.
I'm sorry about your dad. It has the same effect on me because I remember hearing this song on the radio a day before and on Sept. 11, 2001 with the WTC attacks.
Dana Waters That is nice. My mom passed away a few months ago, leaving my Dad after being together for nearly 60 years. She left behind her 6 children, who still miss her each and every day.
Dana Waters Where the hell is my post??? I continue getting notifications if anyone replies to your post but I don't see mine! Considering I had posted about the death of both my parents, it's upsetting to not see it anywhere. :(
Dana Waters I was born in 1991 when this song came out also too the year my mother was in high school and got her diploma had me that same year I love this song.
This song is dedicated to my mother who left this earth 31 years ago and to a close friend i lost back in June them both ALOT.....
Releasing all the pain since back 2014 until today part CRY no choice
Wow! What a blast from the past! I remember dancing to this song at my Senior Prom in 1992. Amazing song, but I don't think I've heard it in more than 20 years.
Thanks Trevor Steel, it's a beautiful song that I remember so much from hearing it on Rage (ABC TV Australia) so long ago now. it's stayed with me for all these years.
This song takes me back in my high school days. Thank u for making this part of my life growing up
A high school friend of mine passed away in June 2013, just 28 years old. About two weeks after her passing, I was finishing a shift as a delivery driver and had to stop by the grocery store to pick up some product and this song was playing over the loudspeakers. It's so paradoxical how the loss of someone you had not spoken with for nearly twelve years brings you to tears. Listening to this song helps, I think of her every time I hear it.
First heard this song in 91 and haven't been able to think of or hear it since without getting at least slightly misty. One of the most moving pieces of music out there.
miss my mom,every single day❤😥
Feb. 11th, 2011- walked into my father's hospital room where he lay dead. HE WASNT JUST MY DADDY, HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND. LOVE THIS SONG FOR HIM AS HE HAS SENT WE SOME OF THE GREATEST FRIENDS OF MY LIFE SINCE HIS PASSING. I was a young 32 year old then. R.I.P DAD
Discovered this song back in 2000 when I had to part with a friend from Nicaragua back at the university. Had to listen again this time because we had to bury our mother barely 3 weeks ago. It's comforting makes me think those two are still around me.
Fantastic song Trevor? Are you still living in Sydney?
No, back in London for a while
This is one of the songs i'll be requesting to be played during my funeral the other is Williams brothers Can't cry hard enough.
yeah that one is pretty sad and moving in its own right.
This sing always makes me cry cuz I think of my late husband 😢
Im 40 so I loved this when it was "current." Lol. But... I know what u mean. My mom never cared much for my music...ur talking about a Marilyn Manson and Slipknot fan...but I love this music. She actually liked this song. My parents were married for over 30 years, and every time I pull this up I think about their lifelong love. My own marriage is ending, and I'm so very heartbroken over it. But...this song is about real lifelong long.
I cry a lot with this song just ended my romance with the girl that i loved
We all had that moment. ..
I bet you don't even think about that girl anymore
my son left us and i wanted so badly to sing this beautiful song to him i wanted it to be reversed me instead of him soon im going to have my chance lynn
I just felt your aching heart Lynn 😔 this song was played at my fathers funeral . I was 21 years old 30 years have come and gone ....I've given him his first grandson . I'm now a mother to a beautiful son and I felt an ache upon reading your comment. There isn't a word in the world that can explain the pain of a mother losing a child. May God have mercy and help you ease this awful pain.
Lost a son at 4 months along in Oct. Of 15 played this at his funeral... I'd like to think he is still with me no matter where I am in life..
I distinctly remember riding home from an activity with my young men's church group when this song came on the radio. As a 17-year old kid, I had just lost my mom to cancer a few months earlier (2/26/91). While I had been raised in a religious home and taught that I'd see her again, I wasn't sure if I believed in the faith of my youth. I also drew little comfort from the numerous sincere attempts made by others to console me in my intense grief. Somehow this song reached me and caused me to hold onto at least a little bit of hope that she might really still be there.
You probably started cryin when you heard the song; that was probably really embarrassing being around all those other guys. Hopefully they understood and consoled you. Oftentimes such moments are very healing, even though we’d avoid them forever if we could due to the discomfort
@@EphemeralProductions I think I did, but I think they didn't notice. Frankly, I don't think they were very sure what to do to console me in general. I'm surprised at how emotionally immature we were at that age.
@@PeterLassig yeah. But some kids, even the male ones, can be more mature than one would think! Back then anyway; maybe not quite as much anymore. :/
I lost my Father when I was just a boy of 12 years-old (1991). I had this song on a cassette tape, still do, I listened to this song more times than I can count. Loosing my Father as a boy was VERY hard... but this song connected with my soul, and I felt a little better when I listened. THANK YOU Escape Club for making this beautiful song, and thank you Trevor Steel for posting it. I am a Father now... I wish my Dad were here to hug and play with his grand children...
he still watches and guides you........u know that gut feeling you get? thats him !......you gives strength 💪
I lost my father 8 months ago and even though I know he's gone I know he's still around, death isn't an ending but a beginning and I know one day I'll see him again! Don't ever think death is forever people
Me and my sisters lost our loving and beautiful older sister September 21, 1991 to a horrific car accident. Today, Sept 21,2017. The pain of losing such a wonderful person,time will never heal . Every heartbreaking unbelievable pain, wanting her back mad at the world , all of this devastation takes its toll on us always, but on this day , my sisters and I always feel the pain of her not with us. Bond so strong, death couldn't break. But this is the song my sisters and IPicked to bid her farewell on her journey. But to comfort us in knowing she would look in on us from time to time. Always be here . In loving memory, Lucretia Marie Freeman
Love this. Reminds me of my loving late husband Tim. I think of you often and miss you always!
I will forever love and remember my beloved grandmother who passed on 11 Sep 14. Ma ma, you left us so suddenly, but we will be strong and you be strong too.
I cannot forget someone who loved me so much and so unconditionally. She taught me the meaning of true love. It seems like just yesterday she was with us, in our daily lives, talking and laughing with us. I love you so much. I'd give all the world tonight to be with you. If I had one wish in this world right now it would be to see you and hug you again before you go on your way. Just wait for me, and when I am called home to be with you, I'll be there smiling. I will always remember because you said must be happy. So I will smile and wish you well till we meet again, because the thought of you being gone forever is too much to bear. I love you is never enough. I miss you so much and I will never forget your kind heart and beautiful face.
I know if she understood English, this song would be what she wanted to say to me.
Love you forever Ma ma.
My husband died Aug 29, 2021. We were married 30 years. He loved music. I was in my bedroom (we moved to live with dad) and I was going in and out of my room. I just happened to be in room when this song can on "90s music" I was listening for back noise. Suddenly I felt my brain and eyes being shifted to tv. Was it him? Do t know. But it was wild
This is still one of my favorite songs. It is brings all kinds of memories. Besides Amazing Grace and Over the Rainbow (Izzy version), it is incredibly heart felt and touching on so many levels.
I play this song every time someone close to me dies.... needlessly....
Same here
+shadow1956aer Me too...actually just sent it to a friend who's having a hard time with her mom passing away...Love love love this song and so appropriate!
How is it needless? it helps you remember the good times and what b you had with them. there's nothing wrong with that and nothing to be ashamed of.
I say dies needlessly because I'm a herion addict in recovery with over 14 months clean. In that time ive been to more funerals than I have in my whole life... Friends just wanting to use one more last and it ends up being their last time....
shadow1956aer
so sad and terrible! I am glad you are still alive Shadow!!! Over a year now! You can keep it up and keep doing it! There's people who believe in you, I know it! Keep in contact with your Higher Power and remember there's so much to live for in this life!!! Don't let this song be played anytime soon at your funeral! Big hugs!
my dad killed himself, this was my song to him at the funerale
every time I have heard this song since he passed 21 years ago it takes me right back to when I met him I fell in love with him been my favorite song ever since
Such a remarkable song. The lyrics, so heartfelt. The singing, so genuine and emotive. This song is definitely from the heart.
I haven't seen this in many, many years. All I remembered about the video was a guy playing the pipes of pan underwater. I remember I got a set of those as a kid & was kind of disappointed because I thought they'd sound like this video.
Lost my mother in 2012.. Guess the world really came to an end for me that year... Listen to this every so often and cry thinking about her.. She loved this song and always said she wanted it played at her funeral...
We played this at my sisters funeral
Amazing song! Terrible video
All our loved one's may have died, but they're still with us, bless all of those who are looking upon us from above...
Think I'll put this on the playlist for my wake. It's so touching, and I believe the exact truth. Kids, are you listening?
This was my daddy's song he passed away Jan 19 2011 I miss him dearly RIP Wade McDonald
For my mother that i lost a few months ago 😭 She will never leave my memory 😭
only vaguely remember this song being from '91, came back to me after some radio station played this after 9-11-2001. one of the few songs can't make it through without getting a lil emotional, either
This song came on the radio when I drove home the day I found my father had passed away after a 9 month illness (brain cancer). It always have been very close to my heart.
had this song play at my mother's funeral. Wasn't a dry eye to be found.
I have said since this song came out, that I want it played at my wake/funeral when I pass on... LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! Thank you, Escape Club!!!
my pops died this is all I do to remember him and it kills everyday but I'll see u again
I cry my eyes out everytime that I listen to this song. It is very theraputic.
this song never fail to make me feel very sad. had love this song since school days. recently been trying to come to terms w someoe who passed on years back.
