    I lost my dad 2 months ago. I'm in the end of my senior year of high school. I'm 17 and I never excepted to lose my dad. I thought Senior Year was the the last year to be a kid while you still are discovering who you want to become. I had a very close relationship with my dad, and I never expected him to die. He was diagnosed February 2018 with stage 4 esophageal cancer. It was hard seeing him for 10 months going from better to worse, not knowing how to help him. There would be times he would shows signs of recovery and then he showed signs of no recovery. I'm going through a lot of depression right now and I'm just missing my dad a lot. I came across this song on my Pandora and I completely related to the lyrics right away. The line "Trying to keep you close to me while life got in between" makes me think that I had no control over my dad's fate. It was God's plan for my dad and I know I will see him again. Maybe not in this life, but in the next.

      melody moss hey I’m sorry to hear that I can’t even imagine what I will when mine dies but I do know that it will get better and I know you’ve probably heard that a lot but still it’s true and I’m positive that you’re dad is really proud of you and would want you to spend your time as happily as you can because we don’t know how much we all have but we should spend it not missing the people we’ve lost but planning for the next time we see them so we have happy and good memories to share with them as they smile at all our stories so you should start planning the memories you’ll share instead of missing them and I hope it helps and I know that we’ll never truly get over them but at least we won’t have to tell them all we ever did was miss them because if we did they wouldn’t want us to spend it that way the would want us to be happy so I send my best wishes for the life of happy memories ahead and the stories you’ll share with your father the next time you meet

      Stay Strong you can and will get through this with God and your dad by your side! My dad has blood cancer with no cure and it’s scary not knowing how long he has left to live. Hope can be the greatest comfort in times like these when you’ve lost some one completely or to a debilitating illness. Stay strong I will be praying for you! Lots of warm hugs xx

    I'm a 58 year old man at the end of a life I struggle to come to terms with. I don't sleep much anymore because of the idea of leaving my children behind . I was wanting to listen to something new while I was having another sleepless night and I ran across what I now consider the most beautiful song I have ever had the privilege of hearing. I thank God for taking me to the only song that has ever touched me and gave me such a desperately needed sense of calm. Thank you for sharing your gift with me and the whole world. God bless you and please never stop.

    My daughter fought leukaemia for two years. She was in a very dark place as I was. Her resilience was amazing. I listened to this song over and over again getting inspiration for the fight. Courtney is now 12 months in remission. James Bay's brilliance bought me hope and joy at a time where it was so hard to find. Thanks James.

    Hold Back The River"
    Tried to keep you close to me,
    But life got in between
    Tried to square not being in there
    But think that I should've been
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Once upon a different life
    We rode our bikes into the sky
    But now we're caught against the tide
    Those distant days all flashing by
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
    Oho, oho, oho, oho
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other

    My son is 12 now but when he was about 3 years old…when this song came on ? Air guitar and his dads hat. So cool even back then. He lost his dad in 2013 a year after he was born. He only got one birthday and one Christmas….but his dad ? His hero. This was one of his dad’s favourites. My wee hero along with his big sister. ❤

    Very special song, actually the whole Chaos And The Calm album is very special to me. Takes me back to some of the best moments of my life and to the best people and person I've ever met, I miss those times so much. Forever grateful for this album even though sometimes it makes me feel kinda emotional when I listen to this and think back to then. An absolute incredible album and one of my all time favourite albums 😊

    Tried to keep you close to me,
    But life got in between
    Tried to square not being there
    But it's there that I should've been
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river,
    So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Once upon a different life
    We rode our bikes into the sky
    But now we're caught against the tide
    Those distant days all flashing by
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river,
    So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river,
    So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
    Oho, oho, oho, oho
    Lonely water, lonely water,
    Won't you let us wander?
    Let us hold each other?
    Lonely water, lonely water,
    Won't you let us wander?
    Let us hold each other?
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river,
    So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river,
    So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river
    Hold...
    [Alternative line:] Hold back the river
    [Acoustic version's line:] Hold back...
    Lonely water, lonely water,
    Won't you let us wonder?
    Let us hold each other?
    Lonely water, lonely water,
    Won't you let us wonder?
    Let us hold each other?

    I used to take my youngest daughter on “River Walks” on a path behind our home and I would play this song with her. I would pull her in a wagon or on a sled in the winter when there would be snow. My wife divorced me and we had to move from the area. I don’t see her much. She is grown now and we returned today to these paths and took another River Walk. I feel she was taken from me but the memories of these walks can’t be. I never thought of the meaning of the lyrics until today. It was difficult to maintain my composure during the walk.

    (This song made me think of this)
    Think what u have with u. What u love and who u want to be. Always know that there is someone who has it worse than u. Try to help. Be grateful for everything u have. Don't dwell on the bad things. If your struggling in life now there's a reason for it and u will be happy. And lastly remember this, THIS LIFE WAS GIVEN TO YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE KNEW YOU COULD LIVE THROUGH IT.

      Haha, I was just googling some LOTR stuff few last days, for thw good old times, and yesterday I searched this, cuz I have heard the song on the radio and liked it. And when I saw this guy, I was like "Oh look, it's Elrohir!" :D

      manuela1986 Lol! Right? He just has the face for it. Not to mention he's one of the few guys who can pull of the long hair look! I mean, who else but an elf can pull that off? XD

      Celenithil Yup, he's perfect for him or any elf. I was even googling his pictures and thinking about drawing him with pointy ears and without the hat :D
      Especially since I have a thing for those twins. Thats it, gotta go search some Mellon chronicles again...
