It's been just over 2 years now since my Dad died. I was the one who found him. Ironically, I saw Sarah in concert just 20 days later. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see her before the concert, I would have loved to ask her to dedicate this to my Dad, and I have no doubt that she would have. She didn't know it, but my Dad made so many of my Sarah moments/memories, possible. I wish he could have met her, to see the person who was always pushing me to be better, and to love myself. My father was my protector, always. Now that he's gone..... all I have is music and memories to look back on. This song was played at his funeral, as well as Angel, and I will remember you. I love you Dad, and I miss you more than you could know. But I realized today, that I wouldn't take away from you, the way you died- in your sleep, no suffering, no sickness, totally unaware. It was what we all hope and pray for when we think about how we want to die. My 2 service dogs both passed away within 16 months of my Dad, and my only solace, is knowing that they are all together, and that sometime soon, we will all be reunited. Until then, save my seat guys, I miss you, and I'll see you before you know it. Sarah, thank you for all that you have done for me. It won't be forgotten. Just a note, the smile on her face, that is breaking at the end, breaks my heart. I know that smile....
My dad passed in 2002. At his memorial we played Angel & I will remember you by Sarah. Those two songs got me through the service. Thank you
Happy 2024 father’s day ❤
Sarah is such a talent. Her voice, her lyrics. She’s spectacular.
Your words were singing to my heart. I lost my father to cancer as well. He was my rock, the person i ran to... thank you for such a song that hurts my heart but...i love it. You sang what was was in my heart. ❤
Sarah… Your voice is second to none, angels would be jealous. For decades I have been listening to your music and for decades you’re the only one that can effect me the way you do. There’s a particular concert performance of Angel that from the first note I get chills and turn into a blubbering fool. It’s not a bad thing though. It has gotten me through many bad times.
Every time I watch it I say to myself “Okay, this time I won’t cry!” Yeah well, that never happens and I’ve watched it literally hundreds of times. It gets me every time. It’s not even the lyrics, I can’t explain it. That’s not the only song of yours either that brings out my emotions.
For some reason it doesn’t seem to effect my wife like that which always surprised me. Well, after all these years my dream is coming true and my wife got me the best birthday gift in over 30 years. Concert tickets to see you in a couple weeks! I’ve never been so excited! I was literally balling when I opened it. AllI said was “OMG!” and burst into tears, and hugged my wife crying. My kids were very confused. That said, I’ve been introducing her to your music and getting her up to speed so she can enjoy it more.
It can’t be much fun going to a concert and not recognizing any of the songs except the major hits. I went through every song I could find by you and put together a play list for my wife. I just recently came upon this song. For me, its of course another gem, beautiful song. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a good relationship with my father growing up, let’s just say he was neither a good father nor a good man. When he passed, the only emotion I felt was relief but don’t feel bad.
However, my father in law was an amazing man and the father I never had. I was extremely close to him and it was a tragic loss to our family. My wife was very close to him and misses him dearly every day. He’s been gone for 7 years. Today I played this video for my wife and all I can say is you did it! You made a song that also turns my wife into a blubbering fool like Angel does to me. She loves it!
She’s been playing it nearly nonstop along with the rest of the play list I made. After all these years she finally gets it and actually hear you. There’s a big difference between listening to music and really hearing it. It takes the right music for people to have that epiphany, she finally had hers!
Now we are BOTH super excited for this concert and I cannot wait to share this experience with my wife. We’ll be packing plenty of tissue because I know we’ll both be a hot mess. I’ll likely be in tears before you even come on stage simply out of disbelief that it’s actually happening and I’m really there. She doesn’t realize just how wonderful of a gift this will be for me.
We’ve been together over 30 years and married for 25 this coming October. This will be bringing us together closer in a way and on a level that I can’t describe. This will be very special for both of us. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing your astonishing gift with the world Sarah. Anyone who doesn’t think your voice isn’t one of the best of all time doesn’t have a clue to put it nicely and that’s an understatement See you in Chicago in a couple weeks!🙂
It’s been sixteen years since my dad passed, I miss him nearly everyday.... I often still wonder what life would be like, if he was still present. I love you always dad, this is an incredible song. Thank you Sarah...😢🥀🌠 May your dad forever Rest In Peace.
Thank you for giving me a pause to think about my father.
My dad was the greatest man I've ever known. It's a shame I never realized that until he was gone.
often sadly how life goes
My father meant the whole world to me. When I lost him to cancer in 1991 my heart was broken. I miss you dad look after Tom who went to heaven before you, and Ken who followed in 2009. Ken I hope that you are happy now. R.I. P. Dad, Tom, and Ken
Sarah is a national treasure.
I regret I'm not a Canadian man. Possibility of being represented by like treasure like she.... dream!
My dad passed away about 3 months ago, I was the one who found him. This song helps me, thank you..
My father passed away just over 2 years ago, and I too was the one who found him. It was unexpected, he wasn't sick. It's something I don't know that I'll ever get over. Ironically, I saw Sarah in concert 20 days later, and though it wasn't possible to speak to her before the concert to talk, she did send her condolences after. I wish I could have spoken with her, I would have loved for her to dedicate this song to my Dad that night
My beloved father died 4 months ago, this song is PERFECT for how I felt/feel about him. I love him so much and miss him with every breath I take. ❤️
Sarah I'm sorry. I know what it's like to look one a father and the one that was my hero. I was 12 and now I'm 40, it's something you can never get over we have to learn to deal with it and move on. it's easier said then done for some of us. I'm sorry for you lose. you have the most beautiful heart and voice I've ever heard. Your songs are inspiring as well as been through some of them. We will not let it keep us down. Thanks for your songs and keep your head high. just know God is there for US!!!!!!
Sarah McLachlan, you are the most beautiful person in the world from the inside out. God bless you in abundance.
Rest in peace Sir 🙏🕊️❤️😇💔😢 you raised a wonderful daughter.
Sarah, You're a fantastic lady. Definitely on my Team.
I stole a couple of lines for my father's funeral, and want to take this moment to thank you, Sarah, for this beautiful, heartfelt song. ❤
Beautiful song..I will always wonder what it would be like to have a loving father...
She was lucky she had a sweet loving dad, we should all be so blessed.💔
Sarah exudes sweet, and heart. In her writing, vocals, melodies, and life.... It's why she's been, still is, and probably always will be the #1 artist in my opinion. Haven't found an artist that does all those those things better, let alone any one of them even.
My father is always in my dreams. Then I always cry😢. I want to see him again.
bring tears to my eyes..
This made me cry... Thank you for sharing this, Sarah.
I've been a fan of your music since 1997.
Mario Ochoa you should listen to the fumbling towards ecstasy album from 1993

My father died in 2000
Miss him every day and he was the greatest man I've ever had the privilege of knowing
Beautifully done by Sarah and amazing images/words
I've not yet lost my Daddy but he's terminal and everyday I hold my breath that I make it in time to be with him before he goes.
Sarah played this song in Las Vegas, Nevada in February 2020 just before the Covid shutdown, amazing strength and composure in front of a tear-filled audience, pure, beautiful moment, together, for all 1000+ of us
My dad gone 7 years today, how I miss him. But he is in my heart always.
Just found this song. Like always Sarah’s musical genius and
beautiful angelic voice touched my soul and remind me of the beautiful memories of my father. Like all your song, this one will once again touch many hearts.
Thank you for your words and love that so many people feel when loosing a loved one. thank you for letting us hear your feelings and memories through your music and songwriting.

I have watched this a hundred times. I have tried to catch each and every photo you included. The love, the honesty, the longing in each is overwhelming. My family and I are honoured to be part of it (see us at 2:08). I am thrilled to be part of a collective of such love and talent. I will see you in Atlanta on July 30, Sarah,but your generosity has helped my family deal with the loss of wonderful brother and the strength of a superhero father. THANK YOU. " Your light buried the dark. A constant unwavering heart."
Beautiful song ❤
Thank you so much, Sarah, for including my father's picture with the many military fathers.
This means even more to me, now that my father has passed last week.
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly be a bigger fan. Sarah, you are the best! This is so touching!
Beautiful Song, especially to honor dads on Father's Day!~
Love your Father's song Sarah,absolutely beautiful..Love listening to you,best wishes...
Gosh Sarah my Farher too a WWII Veteran lost him in 1983 at the age of 60 years old due to a massive heart ❤️ attackb( MI) He wasn’t at my wedding either and didn’t see me Graduate from Medical School 🏫
How I miss Him! When I watch this video I wept , so meaningful this song! Thank you Sarah helps me to heal too! You’re a Special Lady!
Always a Fan!!
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon your RUclips page today but the song that first played was this one. It just so happens today was the day my dad passed away suddenly 3 years ago. Somehow, this feels comforting just a little bit.
Sarah: thank you so much for sharing this, your father must have been a wonderful man.
So wonderful song!
Thank you for such a beautiful song it was my first time hearing it and I love it very much it reminded me of my dad whom June 2 will be 2 years since he passed ....He was my best friend we shared a strong bond and connection and forever will in this life and the next...I know I am never alone and forever truly blessed to have my my daddy walking this journey with me always and forever xxx I love you forever and beyond daddy ... ♥ ♥ ♥ forever your Irish Rose of Claire ♥ ♥ ♥
Goodbye my father, i miss you ;(
Glad you're back...enjoyed seeing you a few years ago at JFK for a mini-concert for Jet Blue. Keep singing....the world needs your expressive voice
I really liked this song
Emotional...thank you so much 🙏❤
For my Dad, too ... 🌹
Sarah, That is such a warm and loving song for your dad. Beautiful vocals and guitar work as always. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents! Your Dad is smiling down on you.
I'm speechless. Thx for your music, god bless you
Tears running down my face... 😢 I just lost my dad 5 and a 1/2 days ago and the pain is immeasurable! 😞 One of the things I have asked myself is who is going to walk me down the aisle now that he is gone... Seeing this video gave me an idea.. I too can put his picture on my bouquet. Thanks
Today would have been my dad’s birthday, and I just saw this song performed live at Sarah’s #FTE30Tour show in vancouver. That’s me and my dad at the :16 mark of this video.
Needless to say, I choked up pretty good hearing this performed live ❤
Once again Sarah you have done it again. Your voice to me, is what angels will sound like in heaven. I love your music and I can't wait to go and see you in KC with my sisters this July! Thank you for your gift of music!
❤️ Lovely song for your Father, Sarah...And I need to say, I believe he has heard this...With his heart...( and always has )...And 'still' hears this...and always smiles 🥰...within lovely memories of You 💞
Sarah McLachlan is an amazing gal and musician. I really like her very much in a sisterly way. I would love to have a friend like her. She is a truly remarkable person and a high class lady. I really like her music so much.
Thank you Sarah for articulating so well the father I would have loved. My own father was the opposite of these fine fatherly qualities. It's heartwarming to hear such a tribute to your father and all of the fan's father tributes. There are many many good men out there and good fathers. ♥
I’m always running far behind and only discovered this song seven years after its release. Pretty sure Jack McLachlan treasured his incredible daughter. Like so many of her songs, this one brought tears to my eyes and tugged at something deep inside.
Dad was taken from us a month ago in a car wreck. Thank you for this song. 💔
I'm sorry Sarah. there r no demons around you. ONLY the angels u sang out LOUD for all the world to LOVE. I love you too. :)
So thrilled to be a very small part of this video and to share my Dad with the world. Thank you, Sarah. Touching and beautiful as always. ♡♡♡ ~ Bella
Thank you for fighting for freedom Mr. McLachlan
Thank you
This song is so sad, my dad died 1 year ago today, he was 78 y.o. of cancer, and til the end he was worried about me, that leaves me feeling so guilty because I wasnt the best teenager to young adult, he was the only one that never left my side, the only one who had my back thru the worst of the worst. Dad I pray your in heaven because you were the best dad in the world , we miss you more than anything, I hope I see you again, love your 3 sons Rocco, Johnny, Mark and daughter Danielle ♥️🙏🙏🙏
I’m going to use this song at my dad’s memorial service.
Sarah, thank you for you're, beautiful music, and sharing you're god given talent, and please let me deal with you're demons in return for such beautiful music xxx may god bless and keep you always xxx 🙏 thank you
I shared this for my Remembrance Day post today, it seemed very appropriate. My father is one of the military pictures between 2:24 and 2:28. I love this Sarah.
Beautiful !
FOR YOU MOMMA
beautiful beautiful song. One of your best.
que lindo !!
Thanks for sharing. It's a neat video.
This means the world to me...Thank you, Sarah!
I know, I miss mine as well; our sorrow will turn into joy again when we all are reunited again forever in the new life to come...
great song brings back so many memories !
Incredible tribute. Thank you.
I also lost my father it leaves a empty hole in the soul. Great job thanks for sharing. J B
So many memories crammed into 3:41! Lovely video!
very touching... Well composed
In a world that has lately forgotten to appreciate men and fathers, this song is refreshing.
Dad... ❤ 21-4-2015 Never forget you.... 😘
Jack McLachlan is one of my heroes too.. there was a time I knew not my fight
Three thumbs down really who are these people awesome tribute song
beautiful
I had to let my dad go today off of life support after he suffered massive brain damage from a heart attack. Just in pain now.
How I wish that I could tell you
It's to you that I would run
You were the place that I could always rest my head
When my world had come undone
'Cause I've been wrestling with my demons
Telling me I have no choice
How I wish that I could lean upon you now
Amidst the chaos and the noise
Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart
You were the well to cool my fury
Deep and calm your waters feel
Your quiet words a salve to soothe my wayward soul
It was there I learned to heal
Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart
Oh I hope that you can hear me
Through the ravages of time
You have carried me through more than you could know
I still feel your hand in mine
Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart
Your light buried the dark
A constant unwavering heart

incroyable, merveilleux!
I feel your pain
6:25 I looked at your face… my heart jumped all over the place.
Tão emocionante essa música, pena que muitas pessoas não dão o devido valor aos seus papais enquanto estão vivos.
Ces la classe a la pointe musicale

Sad but Awesome! 🙄
Killer reverb.
Perfeita está canção
¡Gran canción de esta crack y muy profunda! Hago aquí ruclips.net/video/Hg9R6Ro97ag/видео.html un ANÁLISIS FILOSÓFICO de corte existencialista de esta canción, citando a pensadores de alto vuelo y a otros artistas.
I know.....
I'll fix it....
😔Sorry
hello. Jesus Christ loves you. but I have an inkling u already knew that. well anyway Jesus Christ loves you. u will sing for the Lord God ABBA FATHER in Heaven. peace and love from San Antonio Texas,Grace
Son Sean likes the song, but wishes you played the guitar just a little bit more like Jack White does in his youtube videos. I think it's time I explained to him who you are and exactly how vital your musical presence was and is to people (incl dads) everywhere. We'll break out the whole collection and eat some junk food - I can't wait!! (And thanks for the song!)
