My son in law is in Germany now and will be deployed to Afghanistan in August. God brought me here to your music 2 years ago when the economy was crashing. Your gift is such a comfort. It'll be all ok.is my mantra.
i remember my grandmother :) such a sweet person who'd always make me smile but she passed away last 2007 i haven't yet moved on but i know she's here in my heart. encouraging and believing. teary eyed again.
This song reminds me of my grandpa who passed away last year around Christmas and it reminds me of all my friends in ONtario that I left behind when my dad got transferred back to Montreal and we moved back. It makes me cry. It's really good and it brings memories back to me. And i'm only 13 lol It reminds me of a lot of things.
this song is truly beautiful, i lost my fiance' to a long battle with cancer 2 years ago and this song really does touch on those feelings. thankyou so much for sharing this song.
This song reminds me of my dad, who passed away February 4th 2007 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. It is a really great song. This is my favorite out of the songs I've heard of yours so far. -Haley
I visited her channel and left my comment. She must have been a great person, if she's missed by wonderful people such as you Allen. may she Rest in Peace. tc, JC
I listened to this for the first time today. A good friend of my family passed early this morning and I was moved by this. Perfect first youtube song-of-the-day. Thank you :)
Dude, I LOVE this song... I love the way it can cover so many aspects of life and love... A death, a lost love... This song actually brought tears to my eyes... But they were the good kind, so thank you so much for that... I really needed it...
Like I said before, your comments are really motivational and thoughtful. I was fortunate that Mel did a great cover. 2 different styles, same song, and the song seems to have a life of itself.
This song made me cry. It's not that I'm super-sensitive; it was so "heart-felt". Yes, I felt it in my heart, the emotion that inspired you really came through in this song. Ok, I'm stop now, blow my nose and wipe away my tears. . .
I am Truly sorry for your fathers death... my Grandfather passed away from lung cancer Jan. 11, 2008, and this song does help me think about all the good he has done. the lyrics of the song are genius. JVC, keep going!
Hey JC, just wanted to drop by my wonderful friend and say thanks for your amazing support! As always your videos and music are wonderful! Love to you, Tamara xxxx

Hey JC, Thank you so much for posting this video, one of my band mates from high school passed from an accidental overdose a few weeks back and this song really means a lot to me...lyrics can be heard different by different people, and it just made me think about the fight they must have had with themselves for so long, that none of us noticed enough to help, before it was to late...
