My dad passed away when I was 10. I miss him so much. I’m 27 now with 3 kids of my own and I see myself in him now with my own children. God I miss you dad x
I heard this on Radio 1 this evening and it made me (43 years old ) cry ! Reminds me of the period of time in my life when I was a single Dad , and it was just me and my boy against the world .
This is my sons song when he passed away we played it and he would be 3 now and we still play it every year in memory of him 1st of November. Fly high my angel 👼

@@nathanhunt8598 My boy was 26, he died in a motorbike accident in May '21. And yes, it's a pain like no other. Only parents who have lost children really understand it, although each one of us responds in a different way. Me, I try to be ok with never really being ok again. When the sadness hits me, I let it.

My dad committed suicide when I was 16...this reminds me of the happy times before everything when wrong for him... thanks dad for a brilliant childhood dad if your looking down I hope I made you proud RIP x
i really came very close to killing myself this year, all i can think about now is how would my son be dealing with christmas, life with out me ? but mental health is an illness, often terminal, i dont know if i have another year in me. But how i would say if i had died , shit i screwed that up , i love my son, sorry. Thoughts are with your dad and you,
kerry kat stay strong angel! The Devastation left behind isn't worth it! You hold on and be brave! One day things won't look so bad and you'll find hope x
My dad passed away yesterday, Monday 17th of September and this was our song I love you dad I wish you were still here to watch me grow into a man I love you dad
Me too. Tartan blanket on the engine and a thermos flask. Probably late 60s or very early 70s. He's gone now. How I loved him. He was a hero to me. I miss him. 😢
My dad used to be a bin man/ rubbish collector when I was a child. I used to respect him so much! Takes a strong man to do the jobs others wouldn’t dream of doing ❤️
Well said! My dad worked as a supermarket cleaner until he retired and his stories of everything that used to go down on the shift always made me laugh so much... the huddle to get their instructions each morning, kicking out Tesco spies trying to undercut prices (he worked for Asda), chasing a huge rat... it always sounded the best fun to me as a kid and not the dirty grind every day it probably was. Nothing but love n respect for all my working people out there 💪❤❤
Love this choon - my dad was only 57 when he died in 1981 and even though I am now 59 I miss him every day of my life. And why wouldn't I - he was a top bloke 😊
Spot on mate 👍 brought a smile to my face your little post. Lost my dad a few year back. I’m now 44.. but I was always his boy haha even as a fully grown man. Miss him loads. But like you say. Top bloke! Happy memories 😉
Lawrence, did you get an odd feeling on the day you became older than your dad was when he died? Mine died when he was 62, and I'm now 65, and it was most peculiar when I passed him...
I think this song means so much to us older guys 40+ as it brings back memory’s of a time when dads never actually said they loved you but the little moments like sitting on your dads lap steering the car around an empty car park or being allowed to help build something with them was priceless. I’d look up at my dad and think god your amazing and even though it was never said out loud you just knew this man would move heaven and earth for you.
Ya nailed it there mate ....the little things you remember not grand gestures ... my old boy taught me how to be a man and showed me how not to be a boy ... they don't make them like that no more
That's a really bizarre thing to say. Fathers (well the decent ones anyway) have always told their children that they love them. It's probably one of the most base and simple things you can say to your children, so no, I don't think there has ever been a 'time when dads never actually said they loved you'. There's something massively wrong with a parent who can't bring themselves to tell their own child that they love them.
@@herepuffpuff9007 No, it's not bizarre. You're maybe from a younger generation, us oldies grew up in a time when men were generally not supposed to show much emotion.
My Dad died in January this year. Back in the 80's he woukd bring me to work on a Saturday, he drove a JCB, this song brings me back there. I miss him so much, my hero.
My dad died when i was 9, he was a builder and actually drove a j.c.b, miss him every day! Thanks nizlopi for writing this tune that reminds me of him ❤💔
The story about this songs creation is so powerful. Luke was bullied at school for having dyslexia. Ive got autism and this song resonates with me a lot. What a song never got to number 1. 17 yrs later and still ICONIC

My son sent me this link only last night. He is in the UK and I am now living in the Philippines. It brought a few tears to my eyes as he said it reminded him of his childhood. Bless him. I'm a very, very proud Dad. I am proud also because he has turned out to be a gentleman too. Lova ya son.
I remember hearing this when it came out. I relistened to it today and broke down in tears at the age of 34 as my Dad is no longer with us. He wasn't a JCB driver but loved driving renovated old fashioned buses which always held up the traffic. Thank you Dad and hopefully you're still driving your buses somewhere in the ether.
Only a few months my dad died of cancer, he was a builder for over 30 years and was the best dad ever. This song reminds me of him and it always brings a tear to my eye xxx Love You Dad
i used to be close to my dad but he was arrested and put in prison for rape and i hate him for it but this song brings back good memory's and i just start crying also my grandma has less than 3 weeks to live because of cancer but i cant see her because i can be around my dads family and i was close to my grandma and she did nothing wrong and its killing me inside
This song never fails to get me, every time. I think some of it is the realisation that there's a whole generation out there growing up never experiencing what I had as a kid. I'm so glad to be a permanent part of my sons life.
Will Clay E.K my heart goes out to u so much. It must be so hard to cut off such a strong bond. Me and my mum haven't spoke for 20 years and not seeing my dad breaks my heart as I was so close to him growing up. He even told me I was like a boil on his backside when I was pregnant with my daughter as he couldn't go anywhere without me following him, even to the point of sitting at the top of the stairs waiting when he was on the toilet.xx
I grew up with out my dad around im now 30 and I have 2 young children and I spend every day trying to make my kids proud of me just so they can say I was a great dad such a good song and sure it brings many happy memories for everyone x
Me, 16 years later still thinking about me dad... he was a builder too... this song just brings me right back to when he'd bring me on site to "help him" mix the cement for the god knows how many blocks he was gonna lay that day ❤
Reminds me of my da who I lost in 2010 all memories still stay and this used to be the song we listened to all the time in the car while he would bring me everywhere he was also a builder a hard working man who looked after me my ma and family's so good and kept us happy thinking of you dad love you ❤️❤️

This song reminds me of my little son who I can only see for a few hours a month since they don't let me see him more than that... but when we are together we are so happy and he tells me lots of stories about he and me and robots and spaceships and a far away planet where i go when I'm not with him and where we'll live together some day... and then we'll be together for ever...
My dad was a track crane driver and when i was little every summer holiday he took me with him to his work. And he let me drive and operate that big machine with crawlers while sitting on his lap. Sometimes when i was a bit older and he was working nearby i took my bicycle and rode to him after school and he let me steer and operate all by myself. Man what a great memorys. He passed 6.5 years ago and I would give my left arm to relive those moments...
My youngest son, Luke used to go to work with his dad who still drives heavy plant. I remember when this song came out we all loved it so much. He’s now getting a Tattoo with some of the lyrics in his dads handwriting.
This song came out the week after my dad died in a bike accident. I cry my bloody eyes out every single time I hear it. Work, walking, post office, absolutely kills me everytime because its so bloody perfect. Its like the guy watched my relationship with him I only knew him until I was 16 and it was the best years of my life until I had my own son he now has a big yellow digger and a toolbox to sit on whilst I work in the garage. It's all a never ending circle.
I’ve just listened to this song for the first time in years. It’s made me cry thinking of my dad. He passed away four years ago and I never got the chance to say goodbye. Make every second count you never know how much time you will have left together. xx
I am literally listening to this song nearly crying. Reading all your comments makes me think no one should take there dad for granted. I'm only 10 so I am really lucky that I have my dad and I couldn't imagine not having him there everyday.
Its true maybe that's what Dads are really for, to be our own superheroes! I still see my Dad like that and I'm a lot older than you, and he is far from perfect but that doesn't matter.
My Father died two weeks ago. He worked as a truck driver and used to always take me to work with him when I was off from school this song is very special to me and help me remember the good times
I lost my dad when I was 2 and I can't thank Nizlopi enough for writing such a beautiful song. Every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes and makes me wonder what it would of been like if my dad hadn't of passed on.
My dad died of cancer when I was 22, he was only 57.. I remember when he worked at the builder's yard and I used to go on the forklift or go in the trucks out on jobs, RIP old man.x
My grandmother has cancer and is blind. She is still with us luckily. She had it for around 20 years now and is such a strong woman for pulling through it and getting on with her day to say life.
My dad also passed, was only 51 at the time and I was 11 it’s rlly rlly hard to grow up without a dad as I’m 16 and turning into a man without him. Rip to your dad and massive respect to you 💙
@@ammmmmm937 Love to you bud ♥️ Stay strong, remember to make your old man proud 👍. Don't let his passing beat you up mate, use that awful situation to make you a tougher stronger person. My dad actually survived a life threatening brain tumor 7 years prior to his death when I was 16. It's not the same for everyone I know but I look at it as 'shit happens' it's a blunt brutal way of looking at it but in it's stripped down form it does and we have to ride the waves however big they may seem. Walk proud young man ♥️
On my way to work, 2005. Said to the bloke driving ‘turn this up mate, it reminds me of my dad’. Still does and still love it. Thanks for turning it up Gary! 🙏
never lost my dad but he wasn’t really there growing up and it reminds me of him because he played it one time when he used to work taxis he played it with me and i always come here
lost my dad to suicide 11 years ago - have played and posted this on Facebook on the anniversary every year since i first heard it. thank you, makes me smile and sing along like a big kid every time. x
My dad showed me this song when I was young, it’s always going to remind me of him, you’ll probably never see this but I love you dad always and forever.✌️
My dads 47 I used to go to work with him all the time but he is now disabled and every time I listen to this is makes me cry it bring back the good old days
Listening to this song in 2022 I'm 36 now and my family moved to Cornwall and I live in birmingham and don't see them as much as I'd like these days with the distance. Really makes me appreciate all the laughs me and my dad had. I love you dad xx
Still come back and listen to this song, my brother who passed away in 2009 this was one of his funeral songs. Reminded me so much of him. So brave suffered his whole life with kidney failure when they found a match he suffered a cardiac arrest 🖤
Mate As the son of a proud sparky listening to this 10 years ago and now a proud father and tradie myself with a gorgeous daughter You cannot beat this song ♥️
I'm 58. Lost my dad 3 years ago. This is a wonderfully happy/sad reminder of good times, only the toolbox I sat on was in a Ford Transit & we used to hold the traffic up by towing a caravan. I play it every anniversary & birthday and the tears always come. Love you, dad! Miss you loads. ❤
Father's day 2021 sent this t my dad, reminds me of wen he took me t Ireland in his truck, "me n my dad having a top laugh..." he's 73, I'm 40, trying t appreciate wat we av before it's gone, Reading some comments here is proper tearing me up 💕
im 13 and love my dad to bits and when i hear this i just burst into tears thinking how much i miss him because he goes to work. This really made me think how awfull it would be to loose my dad. So everyone who has lost their dad i have TONS of respect for you and keep fighting through. And just remember how proud your dad is right now looking over at you from heaven😇
That line about his dad having a hard day but still be good and joking really hits me hard. For me even at 26 my dad is my hero. A guy who can look at a bad day and still make it a better day for someone else, overall a good solid man.
I clearly remember when I helped my dad install an stereo on his jcb, the first song we tested was this one. I'm sitting in the jcb 3cx right now as I write this, what a beautiful machine and what beautiful moments with it and my dad
So my dad used to sing this to me when I was around 4 years old. I'm 16 now and he sent this to me 2 days ago. What an absolute tune. Cheers dad. You'll always be a legend.
I used to go to work with my dad, he drove night shift from Glasgow to Aberdeen delivering to hospital's. This song had just came out at the time and it was on the radio a few times. I never realised at the time the meaning behind the song. My dad passed away earlier this year and I'm so glad that I have the memories of sitting in his van singing away to this song..... thank you nizlopi for the memories you helped create ❤
I remember playing this song for my Dad a couple of months before he suddenly passed away as the song always reminded me of him. He wasn’t a JCB driver but he had a van job where he would have one big drop off and he would always sneak me and my brother on the journey if it was somewhere by the sea. Have so many fond memories of having little adventures and viewing my Dad as the coolest man in the world for driving the ‘big van’. I remember him crying through the song as the lyrics really resonated, im so glad I have that fond memory of my Dad and I got to tell him how much I admired him thanks to this song. RIP Dad, gone way too soon ❤️
My boy just sent me this today. It's his 27th birthday. 27 years gone in a blink of an eye but so so many awesome memories. Our children really should learn more than we know, maybe that way there is a hope for our planet and race. x 🧡 x
Someone showed me this somewhere in 2008 and the song still lives rent free in my head. I dont even know why but it is one of the best songs I have ever listened to. Together with this video it is a great peice of art. Out of nowhere parts of the melody pop up or something reminds me of parts of the lyrics. I guess this is when a song touched you.
My dad played this all the time. I just randomly remembered. I feel like I treat my dad shit, I just got kinda scared that if he died randomly tomorrow (God forbid) I would be full of guilt and shame. Just came here to sort of remind myself I'm lucky to have him as dad.
I have a building buisness with my dad and I worked with him since I can remember and now I'm nearly 40 and have loved every moment and everyday.... this song is perfect for me so I know I have been lucky, everyday has been an honour. I will do a cover for him 😊👍
My dad was my hero he taught me so much and I am an engineer due to him. The bloody virus took him 2 months ago, he would have lived forever otherwise......as tough as old boots! Now I,m all alone and missing you, 😢 thanks for the song.
It's amazing how a song can have such a impact on people, reading all comments just brings a tear to my eye...having would have been nice.. but you can't miss something you never had.
havent heard this song in so long, miss my dad so much he was the one who showed me this song and has been my favourite song since 2008, love you stay hope your having a great time up there with nan
Got the opportunity to drive a yellow dumper truck last week on a construction course I was on & this song immediately came to mind. Couldn’t remember the name till now. What a moment in music this was. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I last heard this. 🚜❤️

My son sent me this link only last night. He is in the UK and I am now living in the Philippines. It brought a few tears to my eyes as he said it reminded him of his childhood. Bless him. I'm a very, very proud Dad. I am proud also because he has turned out to be a gentleman too. Lova ya son.
I remember hearing this when it came out. I relistened to it today and broke down in tears at the age of 34 as my Dad is no longer with us. He wasn't a JCB driver but loved driving renovated old fashioned buses which always held up the traffic. Thank you Dad and hopefully you're still driving your buses somewhere in the ether.
Only a few months my dad died of cancer, he was a builder for over 30 years and was the best dad ever. This song reminds me of him and it always brings a tear to my eye xxx Love You Dad
Thoughts to you ❤️❤️
i used to be close to my dad but he was arrested and put in prison for rape and i hate him for it but this song brings back good memory's and i just start crying also my grandma has less than 3 weeks to live because of cancer but i cant see her because i can be around my dads family and i was close to my grandma and she did nothing wrong and its killing me inside
This song never fails to get me, every time. I think some of it is the realisation that there's a whole generation out there growing up never experiencing what I had as a kid. I'm so glad to be a permanent part of my sons life.
Will Clay E.K my heart goes out to u so much. It must be so hard to cut off such a strong bond. Me and my mum haven't spoke for 20 years and not seeing my dad breaks my heart as I was so close to him growing up. He even told me I was like a boil on his backside when I was pregnant with my daughter as he couldn't go anywhere without me following him, even to the point of sitting at the top of the stairs waiting when he was on the toilet.xx
You will be alri bud ..gts easier with time bro
Spend as Much time with your dad as possible, so if you lose him the memories will stay with you and he'll stay alive
😓😓
Amie Griffiths ?
Nathan Anderson I'm sorry to hear that
this means alot to me i love my dad too bits
+eve langton :)
This was my boys funeral song he loved this song and now it part of me 😢
My condolences for your loss
Still listening in 2021 and always brings a tear to my eye… this one is for all the good, hard working dads out there!
I grew up with out my dad around im now 30 and I have 2 young children and I spend every day trying to make my kids proud of me just so they can say I was a great dad such a good song and sure it brings many happy memories for everyone x
Who’s here in 2024 then? 🎉
Me ❤
And me a friend just sent this as I've never heard it before!
Me, 16 years later still thinking about me dad... he was a builder too... this song just brings me right back to when he'd bring me on site to "help him" mix the cement for the god knows how many blocks he was gonna lay that day ❤
hands up
Yep
Reminds me of my da who I lost in 2010 all memories still stay and this used to be the song we listened to all the time in the car while he would bring me everywhere he was also a builder a hard working man who looked after me my ma and family's so good and kept us happy thinking of you dad love you ❤️❤️
Big up's
+Cyrilusly fitz thank you
+Irish Gamer huge respect man!
+TJ.FreeStylers thanks means a lot man ❤️

Since my dad didn't want anything to do with me, the fucking cunt, this song goes out to my mom who has been my dad for the last 20 years.

shout out to my dad that did what your mum did. we're all different bro x
+Kallum FRY Brookes his loss mate
+Elliott Lindsey (MetalGamer) just because you had a shit dad don't mean all the rest are :)
Anyone still out there, what a banger 🤟🏼
This song reminds me of my little son who I can only see for a few hours a month since they don't let me see him more than that... but when we are together we are so happy and he tells me lots of stories about he and me and robots and spaceships and a far away planet where i go when I'm not with him and where we'll live together some day... and then we'll be together for ever...
This brought a tear to my eye
Thanks my friend... I'll never give up on my son!
I'm pretty sure your son will talk to you once he's more mature... Take care!!!!!
Chris Jesper You must always let him know you are there.
He'll need you one day.
Maybe if you were fit to be a dad and wasn't a nonce you'd see him more.
this reminds me of me and my dad before he had a stroke and before i came into care
My dad was a track crane driver and when i was little every summer holiday he took me with him to his work. And he let me drive and operate that big machine with crawlers while sitting on his lap. Sometimes when i was a bit older and he was working nearby i took my bicycle and rode to him after school and he let me steer and operate all by myself. Man what a great memorys. He passed 6.5 years ago and I would give my left arm to relive those moments...
This is beautiful ❤
@@rosiedixon98 thank you!
Lost my dad when I was 17. I'm nearly 29 now. Dont know what you've lost until its gone ❤
Thumbs up if you remember listening to this with your Dad when it first came out.
My youngest son, Luke used to go to work with his dad who still drives heavy plant.
I remember when this song came out we all loved it so much.
He’s now getting a Tattoo with some of the lyrics in his dads handwriting.
Who's still here December 2019
Me👍🌞
Me
Meee
Me😁😁
Me and my boy
This song came out the week after my dad died in a bike accident. I cry my bloody eyes out every single time I hear it. Work, walking, post office, absolutely kills me everytime because its so bloody perfect. Its like the guy watched my relationship with him I only knew him until I was 16 and it was the best years of my life until I had my own son he now has a big yellow digger and a toolbox to sit on whilst I work in the garage. It's all a never ending circle.
This reminds me of my son when he was about 6 or 7 and he’s turned into the best lad ever lots of love son if you ever read this x
Quality
I’ve just listened to this song for the first time in years. It’s made me cry thinking of my dad.
He passed away four years ago and I never got the chance to say goodbye.
Make every second count you never know how much time you will have left together. xx
this was my jam when it came out, and randomly almost two decades later i felt the need to listen to this again and its such a rich song
This song will NEVER get old. I remember listening to this song religiously when I was 8, still as good now 15+ years later
How on earth is there only 38k likes on this song shocking that still a great song to this day 😁
Cancer took my dad two years ago.
This utter bop always makes me smile and think of him.
This song brought me back so many memories from very long ago... its so cool. Like how does music have such a great power over us? its Fascinating
Exact same feeling here man used to listen to this over and over
I am literally listening to this song nearly crying. Reading all your comments makes me think no one should take there dad for granted. I'm only 10 so I am really lucky that I have my dad and I couldn't imagine not having him there everyday.
Its true maybe that's what Dads are really for, to be our own superheroes! I still see my Dad like that and I'm a lot older than you, and he is far from perfect but that doesn't matter.
You're Dad IS a superhero don't worry about that.
I'm 50 and my Dad is a super hero too
You have a lot of wisdom for a young child! May you live long together and have many beautiful experiences!
@@yobrojoost9497 Thanks! I'm now 12 and remebering writing this post. Gosh, that was a long time ago.
@@lemonadeocity8476 Oh, dear girl, 12! And so much yet to come! I wish you all happiness in your life
My dad was 52 years old. I don't cry at all when I think on him, but this song breaks me.
Remember listening to this a life time thinking great song. Now I'm a dad with an amazing dad. It hits differently.
I love hearing about all you’re dad story’s 😊😊😊😊 so sweet
If I shared this with my dad it’d probably pass him by. But it’s a lovely reminder to love our dads while we still have them with us ❤️
My Father died two weeks ago. He worked as a truck driver and used to always take me to work with him when I was off from school this song is very special to me and help me remember the good times
So sorry for your loss
🙏🙏🕊🕊
❤
This song was played in my workplace today and it just reminded me of how much a great song this is
I lost my dad when I was 2 and I can't thank Nizlopi enough for writing such a beautiful song. Every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes and makes me wonder what it would of been like if my dad hadn't of passed on.
Where did you lose him? Did you contact the police?
John Clarke fucking twat , get a life you asswipe
My dad died of cancer when I was 22, he was only 57..
I remember when he worked at the builder's yard and I used to go on the forklift or go in the trucks out on jobs, RIP old man.x
My grandmother has cancer and is blind. She is still with us luckily. She had it for around 20 years now and is such a strong woman for pulling through it and getting on with her day to say life.
My dad also passed, was only 51 at the time and I was 11 it’s rlly rlly hard to grow up without a dad as I’m 16 and turning into a man without him. Rip to your dad and massive respect to you 💙
@@ammmmmm937
Love to you bud ♥️
Stay strong, remember to make your old man proud 👍.
Don't let his passing beat you up mate, use that awful situation to make you a tougher stronger person.
My dad actually survived a life threatening brain tumor 7 years prior to his death when I was 16.
It's not the same for everyone I know but I look at it as 'shit happens' it's a blunt brutal way of looking at it but in it's stripped down form it does and we have to ride the waves however big they may seem.
Walk proud young man ♥️
On my way to work, 2005. Said to the bloke driving ‘turn this up mate, it reminds me of my dad’. Still does and still love it. Thanks for turning it up Gary! 🙏
R.I.P to everyone who lost there dads
Why did they die too?
never lost my dad but he wasn’t really there growing up and it reminds me of him because he played it one time when he used to work taxis he played it with me and i always come here
Thank u
lost my dad to suicide 11 years ago - have played and posted this on Facebook on the anniversary every year since i first heard it. thank you, makes me smile and sing along like a big kid every time. x
Sorry to hear this bud, not the same for my dad, but still brings memorys
The greatest song ever not to be a Christmas Number 1 - which it absolutely should have been. Such a beautiful song
This ones for you dad :(
It's been fifteen years since this came out, and I'm still bitter that it didn't get the Christmas No.1 in 2005.
Bloody X Factor.
Almost 16 now, time flies.
This never gets old, but your kids do, one of my favourite songs. Great memories
I lost my dad in 2004, still miss him so much every day. This is a beautiful emotional song.
Mr Doofa hope your good
My dad showed me this song when I was young, it’s always going to remind me of him, you’ll probably never see this but I love you dad always and forever.✌️
My dads 47 I used to go to work with him all the time but he is now disabled and every time I listen to this is makes me cry it bring back the good old days
Such an underated song,
i see you chubbse
You're both gay.
Unconfirmed, but likely true
really has beautiful and subtle lyrics and message really sweet
same
Brings me back to driving around in my dads van screaming this from the top of our lungs... good old days
Listening to this song in 2022 I'm 36 now and my family moved to Cornwall and I live in birmingham and don't see them as much as I'd like these days with the distance. Really makes me appreciate all the laughs me and my dad had. I love you dad xx
Still come back and listen to this song, my brother who passed away in 2009 this was one of his funeral songs. Reminded me so much of him. So brave suffered his whole life with kidney failure when they found a match he suffered a cardiac arrest 🖤
My goodness I'm so sorry I lost my dad this weekend why I'm here listening so painful I feel broken
Mate
As the son of a proud sparky listening to this 10 years ago and now a proud father and tradie myself with a gorgeous daughter
You cannot beat this song ♥️
One of the best songs ever written about fatherhood. From both perspectives. Beautiful
This song hits different since my dad passed 2 years ago. Makes me shed a tear every time I hear it
Sorry to hear about Ur dad ❤️. I only lost my uncle couple months ago and this song fits to his children was played at his funeral ❤
I'm 58. Lost my dad 3 years ago. This is a wonderfully happy/sad reminder of good times, only the toolbox I sat on was in a Ford Transit & we used to hold the traffic up by towing a caravan.
I play it every anniversary & birthday and the tears always come.
Love you, dad! Miss you loads. ❤
Father's day 2021 sent this t my dad, reminds me of wen he took me t Ireland in his truck, "me n my dad having a top laugh..." he's 73, I'm 40, trying t appreciate wat we av before it's gone, Reading some comments here is proper tearing me up 💕
im 13 and love my dad to bits and when i hear this i just burst into tears thinking how much i miss him because he goes to work. This really made me think how awfull it would be to loose my dad.
So everyone who has lost their dad i have TONS of respect for you and keep fighting through. And just remember how proud your dad is right now looking over at you from heaven😇
True
Yes very True
thank you
Your the sweetest kid ever, that was such a lovely thing to say. May life be kind to you and your family mate.
This is me
That line about his dad having a hard day but still be good and joking really hits me hard. For me even at 26 my dad is my hero. A guy who can look at a bad day and still make it a better day for someone else, overall a good solid man.
I clearly remember when I helped my dad install an stereo on his jcb, the first song we tested was this one. I'm sitting in the jcb 3cx right now as I write this, what a beautiful machine and what beautiful moments with it and my dad
So my dad used to sing this to me when I was around 4 years old. I'm 16 now and he sent this to me 2 days ago. What an absolute tune. Cheers dad. You'll always be a legend.
I used to go to work with my dad, he drove night shift from Glasgow to Aberdeen delivering to hospital's. This song had just came out at the time and it was on the radio a few times. I never realised at the time the meaning behind the song. My dad passed away earlier this year and I'm so glad that I have the memories of sitting in his van singing away to this song..... thank you nizlopi for the memories you helped create ❤
My daughter loved this when she was little. She's 17 next week. I'll play this again when I teach her to drive.
Music when your learning to drive not a good idea mate
cry every time i hear this, was played at my dads funeral , i couldnt face going.
Haven't listened to this in years.
I remember playing this song for my Dad a couple of months before he suddenly passed away as the song always reminded me of him. He wasn’t a JCB driver but he had a van job where he would have one big drop off and he would always sneak me and my brother on the journey if it was somewhere by the sea. Have so many fond memories of having little adventures and viewing my Dad as the coolest man in the world for driving the ‘big van’. I remember him crying through the song as the lyrics really resonated, im so glad I have that fond memory of my Dad and I got to tell him how much I admired him thanks to this song. RIP Dad, gone way too soon ❤️
❤❤❤ I am sorry to hear that
My boy just sent me this today. It's his 27th birthday. 27 years gone in a blink of an eye but so so many awesome memories. Our children really should learn more than we know, maybe that way there is a hope for our planet and race. x 🧡 x
Someone showed me this somewhere in 2008 and the song still lives rent free in my head. I dont even know why but it is one of the best songs I have ever listened to. Together with this video it is a great peice of art. Out of nowhere parts of the melody pop up or something reminds me of parts of the lyrics. I guess this is when a song touched you.
My dad played this all the time. I just randomly remembered. I feel like I treat my dad shit, I just got kinda scared that if he died randomly tomorrow (God forbid) I would be full of guilt and shame. Just came here to sort of remind myself I'm lucky to have him as dad.
I have a building buisness with my dad and I worked with him since I can remember and now I'm nearly 40 and have loved every moment and everyday....
this song is perfect for me so I know I have been lucky, everyday has been an honour.
I will do a cover for him 😊👍
My dad was my hero he taught me so much and I am an engineer due to him. The bloody virus took him 2 months ago, he would have lived forever otherwise......as tough as old boots! Now I,m all alone and missing you, 😢 thanks for the song.
Love to all the Dads 💙
2016 and i just remembered this song
Same
+Just Jacob me 2
+Rory Wright same too man, such a great song
Rory Wright same!
jowlenne
It's amazing how a song can have such a impact on people, reading all comments just brings a tear to my eye...having would have been nice.. but you can't miss something you never had.
Same mate I’m an absolute mess reading these comments 😭❤️🩹
R.I.P dad. he never drove a JCB but he did drive a Saab
Your Dad was a legend ❤️👍🏻
havent heard this song in so long, miss my dad so much he was the one who showed me this song and has been my favourite song since 2008, love you stay hope your having a great time up there with nan
If you're still here in 2024/25 you're elite
What a bloody lovely song.hope my kids write an awesome song about me one day lol
I generally cant stop but cry and think about how my dad would make me laugh listening to this. Touches my heart everytime
late 2019 and STILL a banger!
Got the opportunity to drive a yellow dumper truck last week on a construction course I was on & this song immediately came to mind. Couldn’t remember the name till now. What a moment in music this was. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I last heard this. 🚜❤️
Sept Friday 13th 2024 anyone, this song always cheers me up 😀
