This is something different, it isn't his normal songs you can really hear the pain and sadness in his voice, this is amazing thank you Lukas thank you.
Lukas Graham is a band named after the lead singer
Christian Oskar that is true
Its about his actual family member. Its not just a song...this is trith thats why you feel the pain...he cries when he sings this song. Watch his lives of it...you can hear and see
This one really hits me deep down ive been listening to it since like 8th grade almost daily. It reminds me of my uncle who suffered from alcoholism and how much everyone believed in him and who he was despite what he was putting himself through. I love him so much and i miss him every day!
The real music is back
yep
I wish all artist put soul and real life in there songs
+Yelon Harbi Lukas & Krizz Kaliko need to do a song together! It would be one of, if not THE, best song of 2016
+Viviana Nelson lel
And so is people with good taste
My favorite Beethoven song.
People are upset that he used it for the music, but haven't you ever listened to an instrumental work and thought, "wow, this could be great with lyrics" or automatically thought up some lyrics to go with the music? It's not like Moonlight Sonata is the main part of the song, and it is altered some. But honestly, this was a good choice of music, and it fitted well with the way the song was sung...
exactly
If it's your favorite Beethoven PIECE then you're bandwagon and dont know any of his music
@@palmerpong5806 chill man
@@palmerpong5806 Chill dawg!
@@palmerpong5806 geez people can like things without having to be a pro about those. Chill man! Let people enjoy things
Lukas made this song for his friend serving hard time in jail. Pretty deep but gets even deeper. Just moments before Lukas went on stage live in 2012 he learned that his friend got shot down not knowing if he would survive or not. Worst feeling ever as he decribes besides when his father suddenly died at 61 (which he by the way mention in 7 years)
+Graham R Ferguson ..No your wrong he never even had a Brother.!!!! Only 2 sisters - Niamh Anna Forchhammer and Ella Kathleen (both alive and well) I know that a local newspaper at some point back i 2012 mentioned that he wrote about his Brother being in jail but that was not the truth. It was and still is about his friend ......try to Google it :-)
+stig Christensen you're wrong. i dont know where youre gettin your info.
+Clint Flicker ...Your right. Lukas is actually in prison for life writing all his stuff from his cold and tiny cell. So tiny that they had to cut his piano in half just to get it in. And it's only due to the accustic inside the prison yard why his voice comes out that good....otherwise his just a poor to an average singer....a well preserved secret - so don't mention this to anyone...!!
+Clint Flicker actually, +stig Christensen is completely correct. In an interview for this song, Lukas talks about its origin and how he made it for his friend who got shot and died. It's in Danish, though.
stig Christensen you're also wrong. i know lukas. this shit didn't happen.
Hands down one of the best albums of 2016....
Hands down
Hands in the air
The best*
This song alone could beat all the albums of 2016
Hands everywhere, look over there, there's some!!
The part where he says "I accept you as you are I don't need the truth" you can really feel his emotions
But can you blame me for loving and missing my brother,Only one other person's Genius impacted me like Lukas has and it was James Douglas Morrison
Lukas Graham might be the ones to bring back real music to the world. 💗💗
You got a point😍
Say it louder so the people in the back can hear you. Love ❤Lukas Graham
this song is so fucking emotional, you can tell it really means something to him, and I love it!
1314Lermanlover the song was recorded the day they thought it up so Lukas was crying a bit while singing
FlorbenGorben surely it took more then 1 day to write
Brodie Sallows I saw that in an interview but maybe I misinterpreted it
you are so right
Wow...you can hear the tears in his voice. amazing
exactly
+luigiisthewinner that's why i love him so much...
+eybeezeedee thats why I do too
luigiisthewinner
Ikr!!
When Beethoven and lukas Graham Colabs :)
si los mundos chocan xdxd
🤣🤣🤣 👍
Pretty much lol
But I like it
I just went from beethoven to here
Everyone, please understand how amazing this is. Wow.
Watch Lyrics to Lukas Graham's album here!
I know it's beautiful😭
I’m still listening in 2020. One of the best singing voice. I also like Isak Danielson.
chill bro we already do
IN LOVE WITH LUKAS...VOICE..LYRICSOUL AND SPIRIT....HIS MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE...GOD BLESS LUKAS!
Karen Welch how did it save your life??? (No offence)

THIS. SONG. IS. A. BEAUTIFUL. MASTERPIECE. Lukas Graham, I salute you..
As someone who’s brother is in prison, this song always makes me tear up and literally took the words out of my mouth/heart. Such a beautiful song
With so many incarcerated people in the US, this song should naturally have a large number of people who can relate to the emotions and story-line. Very good song indeed.
Yup
Young man, I would like to thank you for letting me into your heart through your music. You have moved me.
Aggred ! Its been a while there wasnt some dude with such talent big up from france
+Romain Martial lol he's from Denmark. Not France ;)
+Antoine Badawi sorry.. Misunderstood bro. Why are you so mad lol? I'm not the dumb ass.. You are
I wish more people would realize just how talented this band is and how much passion is put into every song. Also, 7 Years is not his ONLY song. He has even better ones!!!
The purple album 😎😎😎
We both know that we owe nothing to each other
But can you blame me for loving and missing my brother...
So heartbreaking 💔
This song has to be hands down the most heartfelt,honest feelings one person can have for another,BEAUTIFUL
Had the amazing opportunity to see him in concert live in St.Louis and I've never been to a better concert in my life. He has AMAZING talent!
So jealous....
Your last name is close to Preston
+Preston Garvey settlements
family guy
Saw him in portland OR such a small room they worked it like it was thier last show. I've been to 20+ concerts they were one of the best I've seen. Going again on Oct 23 in Portland OR. Can't wait.
i heard his song (7 years) yesterday, and now i found this one and i can't stop it, i like that most of his songs mean something to him and that's what we miss in the middle of this stupid famous people who sing things without any meaning at all ..
Hope fame will never change you ...
7 years ago you wrote this
Lukas is not a song writer he is a story writer
Lukas graham dominates every singer in the world!!
+Paco Lara I agree with that
I have never loved an artist this fast! his voice speaks to me!!
+SamarMtr it's the lyrics, he is real
just see him live....... i did for the firsr time and i was lost for words. his voice is piercing live!
musiclover 21 ahh I wish!! it's just that I live in Israel and I don't think he'll maybe ever come here :(
+SamarMtr you never know! it was his first time here in Arizona.
+musiclover 21 yeah, well, I can only hope :)
my new favorite band. after being obsessed with 7 Years, I tried these, and... Wow.
+LINKd agreed
+EthanIsTrash SAME
He is not a band
Lil Socky same here
Fire striker 34 yes Lukas Graham is a band look it up
Wow. This is just so different from his other, happier songs. You can really hear the pain and sadness in his voice. It's really just sensational.
i had to log in just to like all of the songs by Luke. "They tried to give you angel wings but you refused to fly" WOW. just bloody wow.
THIS IS THE BEST ON THE ALBUM IN MY OPINION!!
YESSS! AGREED!
The day Lukas Forchhammer is a legend. And always will be. This man brought music back to life ❤️
okay, this voice is literally my favorite.
I swear, theres everything, power, emotions, lyrics, everything
this is my favorite, just, wow, I hope he will keep going
i just cried on that song.
his voice, emotions and tone is piercing live! just seen him and had chills all over. leaves you speechless
I know this song is about Lukas' friend, but it really reminds me of my older sister who struggles with multiple mental disorders and has been in and out of the hospital for several months- she's only sixteen, but got mixed up in drugs last year and as cliche as it is, made friends with the wrong crowd. She attempted suicide for the first time around September of last year and was sent to the hospital, and it's just been an emotional roller coaster.. The hardest thing is just that she doesn't want to help herself, like she craves trouble. That's why this song hits me so hard. It's crazy how Lukas can take an experience of his own and formulate the lyrics in a way that everyone can feel on a personal level. He and his group are phenomenal musicians and I adore their songs-
+Olivia Rogowski ... Hello from Denmark ... Some people are too self-destructive to be able to help themselves, for their own sake, but they may be able to find the strength to do it for the sake of people they love ...
Perhaps your sister really need to see and feel your unconditional love for her and to really understand how you are feeling and how scared you are of losing her, more than she need to understand her own feelings....
I agree. I'm sorry about your sister.
I experienced a similar situation... my dad had various mental disorders and attempted suicide not once but twice. and succeeded on the second try..
Jordyn Heal Damn... I'm sorry
Your sister is 20 now...just wanna check if she's ok?
This is so much better than 7 years... why is this not more popular?
+XDOLXninjaX 7 Years was released as a single. Also, this song is more personal and specific, so it's probably not going to be a single.
@@MrsRen 7 years was pretty personal too though.
This sends chills down my spine
The pain and sadness flows through the words in his voice. After knowing that he has gone through such hardships, people can't help but appreciate the effort he puts into his songs...
I got the letter back
Saying I can come and see you
I really don't have time
But promised that I'd come and see you
You're sitting far away
But do you know I sometimes need you
I know that you deserve
The time you got of all the people
I know you never bent
Even in the strongest wind
I really wished to every God
That you were innocent
I'm happy and I'm proud
That I can still call you my friend
I hope you read the letters
And the magazines I send
You got your head up
But I don't have my hopes high
I know that you're a good man
And that's what, brings a tear to my eye
I'm like, oh
I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
And there ain't, no
No one can change it
No one can do it better than yourself
🎵🎶🎵🎶
I was sixteen
And we used to roll together
You told me back then
That I was meant for something better
You know in our life
Nothing's gonna change but the weather
It seems it's been forever
Since we really stuck together
I'm living a crazy life
I wish that you could see it too
See a thousand people sing
My song from me to you
Every time I sing it
You know I'm bleeding too
Man I accept you as you are
No I don't need the truth
I got my head up
But I ain't got my hopes high
See I know that you're a good man
And it brings a tear to my eye
I'm like, oh
I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
And there ain't, no
No one can change it
No one can do it better but yourself
🎵🎶🎵🎶
I reminisce to back then, when it was you and I
Smoking big fat blunts, drive in movie night
They tried to get you down, but you refused to die
They tried to give you angel wings, but you refused to fly
You'd rather stay in hell, and take your time in jail
They're only punishing a soul that you will never sell
We both know that we owe nothing to each other
But can you blame me, for loving and missing my brother
Oh, oh I hope you know you're not alone in that hell
And there ain't, no
No one can change it
No one can do it better than yourself
This song means a lot to me. My cousin and I grew up together till my mom moved me away to OR. She said the gangs would get me if we stayed in CA. They got my Cousin. He is in jail for murder. I know him. I love him. I cant change what he did... what it doesnt change is the love I have for him.
The letters are part of me they always will be. My cousin is the one that told me to do better then the gangs. I have finished college and will be getting married. He did that.... he is a good man.
Your song has gotten me through the trial and the fact that I wont see him again in this life.
Thank you Lukas Graham band.
It's been eight solid years that have passed since I've seen my brother, or said a word to him for that matter. Eight years since he turned his back on the family that raised him, loved him, and was always there for him. Still don't know why he left, though every time I listen to this song I wish that he would come back for just one day so I could play it for him.
amazing ...most touching song i ever ..heard........... absolutely touching ......
This is why I love Music... Thanks Lukas & Friends for translating life into song, not many can do this anymore!
This came up on shuffle and really caught me off guard. What an instrument and what a writer!
I can’t stop listening to your songs
It'll be absurd if this doesn't get big.
This has been a big song for quite some time.
+Reptile King yeah he isnt an american singer but he started being recongized in america recently. his song 7 years was the first song to come out in america and it got i think up to number 2 on the top 100. he is currently worth $10 million and thats pretty big to me
+The Ampharos Freak For at least 200 years!
maybe in 7 years it will become popular.
I mean idk really, but some people think he has a criminal mind. your not there to see him become awesome.
you don't understand in unless ur bog fan of Lukas Graham
I see what you did there.
it's absolutely awesome how graham managed to pull off moonlight sonata melody to this song.
"Two thumbs up including the ones of my feet."
I was not very close with my father's side of the family growing up. I was outcasted at a young age, but there was my cousin who was only 1 year older than me, in fact we both have birthdays in the same month. He had my back growing up, from childhood, the teens, and then adulthood. He was closest I had to a brother. We would do everything together.
We both did stupid stuff growing up. I went away from it and he continued to go down that path.
Similar to this song, he always told me that he was proud of me. He always told me he knew I would do great things in life.
He now faces a charge for a life penalty. Sad part is I knew him where others do not. I knew him not only as a "Criminal"
Thank you Lukas Graham.
This needs a Music Video as soon as possible.
Some dreams don’t come true
LUKAS..HIS MUSIC HAS TOUCHED ME LIKE NO OTHER...HE IS A. TRUE ORIGINAL...
I tell everyone I know to look you up and listen....My new Favorite Album, I have only a handful of albums that I can put on and just let the whole album play and this is one of them. I hope you are around for a long time to come Lukas.
This captured my feelings... I miss my brother... waiting till he comes home. ❤️
This is..... DEEP
Lukas Graham, you got listeners from all around the world. You're the most talented singer I've ever heard. LOVE from Oman !
This makes think of my older brother. He was truly an opposite role model to take after. He was in the streets every night so that I may stay inside and hit the books. He sacrificed his life so that he may have given me a chance. It literately brought a tear to my eye when I wrote him a letter, He told me "you don't know how happy it makes him to hear from me." By him doing the things he did. It made me strive to not let him down. Do everything in my body, take sleepless nights studying. Truly if you have a loved one that's inside, give them call or a send a letter. You don't fully know how much it means to hear from someone in that hell, Which is not the prison but their own mind thinking they are thrown away in this system and left to rot....... Just a heart felt note to the world.............
Unbelievably haunting description of the love he still feels for his criminal childhood friend.
Just discovered his songs and I'm already obsessed with him wow what a talented man
Relevant as hell. Just great.
Best song so far!
My best friend and I listened to this everytime I saw him before he moved to Wisconsin with his dad. I miss you D.
Non potevano scegliere canzone migliore come soundtrack per la Porta Rossa!
Federica Fuiano condivido! 😍 amo quella fiction e aspetto la seconda spero ci sia :) ps. visita il mio canale.. ci sono è delle mie cover al piano :)
Heard this song for the first time when it first came out in 2012. I was on my way to New York for my high school senior trip and man I’m so glad he now gets recognized. He is amazing!!
Hypnotized by that song
I've had this song stuck on repeat for the past 45 minutes and I still cant stop listening!!! I cant be the only man on earth that knows or cares about someone that this song reminds us of!?
Moonlight sonata is my favourite ever piano piece to play and the fact Lukas graham has made it into a song absolutely amazes me!!! How wonderful is this song!!!
His voice is phenomenal. Love from USA
6 years later & this is still a classic! ❤
HE IS THE BEST SONG WRITER IN THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND THE MILKYWAY
"Can you blame me for lovin and missin my brother" that one hit me, I can't relate to it though
Lukas is an amazing writer and the reality of his lyrics makes him the most relatable artist out..... thank you for making real music.
The real music is back.
I've lived to hear Lukas' harmony voice.
Here before it hits millions of views
And? What the hell was the point of this?
Watch lyrics here to Lukas!
this reminds me of my lost friend...I cant believe what he did that day...
This song gives me deep flashbacks. . . . . . deep. . . .
*peace out people*
Better than 7 Years
France Emmanuel Maribbay not really
No ONE BETTER THAN LUKAS!!!
Best song Yet.
Lukas Graham's songs are beautiful, there's a story behind every lyrics, i dony understand why there a lot of stupid people out there hating the REAL MUSIC.
If you don't like his music, do not comment and just leave him and his fans alone.
i didn't know turning your life story into a song would be this fuc*ing emotionally
He is such an unrated artist. His voice is magic. This song is so personal to me because I was listening to it the day I was told my brother had died. Funny part, listening to the song made me teary and I could have sworn something was up but I could place my fingers at it. Atleast, not until people in black knocked on the gate. 31/05/2017
Most Touching Song I've Ever Heard!
I did cry... I can relate a bit... But not brother.... Father...
+Ava Bickford this song isn't but most of the songs in this album are about his father who died a few years ago
Same //wish you well
Saw you guys tonight in Salt Lake. Transcendent performance. This song was breathtaking live. Thanks for coming to the 801 and blowing the doors off The State Room. Come back soon and bring Daye Jack! Amazing night.
Wow, the best song I've ever heard. He's amazing!
I lost my father and older brother due to alcohol abuse. The day I found out my brother died I was in a huge transition in my life having to leave my 10yr old son that adored me. Cause his mother wanted more then me in our life. Abused by her and seeing my son in pain I felt I had to go. I now have a wife and son of 2 yrs old. All I can say is it's hard in this world without God in your life. Abd even then it's hard. I miss my father my brother and my older son that isn't really wanting to spend time together. I'm hoping and praying he will come around. No matter how hard you try to help. Please pray for me to be stronger so I can get through each day abd find my old happy self. Btw this song does something to me in a positive way that I just want to thank you for the love. Have a great day yall
Oh my gosh I'm so happy I woke up to this
BEST SONG IN THE WORLD
hard work always pays off.
I love this Song soooooo much
Still listening to this on 2021. Still one of my favourites songs ever. Especially the pain and care and soul thats put into this song!!
Youre a Legend Lukas and i hope everything goes well💪🏼💪🏼
this song give me the chill, powerful and soulful voice, classic arrangement, and very strong lyrics.
such love, much bromance
this song is beautiful
this album has me feeling ways!!
Best song ever!!!!! Go take the world by storm Lukas
Pours his heart and soul into this song 🔥🔥🔥
One of the best on the album...they're all great though!
This song is really the only "new song" on the record. Granted most people here in the US haven't heard the 2 Euro releases, but I have them both via import. Regardless, I'll probably just buy a copy to support them as no one else in the business is making real music like this right now. I just wish it had more new music on it.
+Kevin Williams This song has been featured on both of the European releases & was even a single on the one released in 2012?
+Carlysles Continued...
If the US album is considered a new version of the Blue Album, yet it's self titled just like the European debut album, that makes all of this even more confusing. "Clear as mud" I guess...
Everyone's saying him and Ed need to do a song together but I'm thinking he would better with 21 pilots.
Im liking that
Not Twenty One Pilots as a whole. but him and Tyler definitely need to happen.
Trio
+Violet Woods twenty one pilots is not twenty one pilots unless josh and tyler are together
I just had to add Shawn Mendes into this
Lukas we need more people like you
my fav song I think it's better than 7 year old
ikr why is this song amazing
look into criminal mind by lukas. both songs are written about the same person. criminal mind is song 1, better than yourself is song 2.
also- look into the acoustic version- it was his first song released to the public via the Internet. it was recorded in his mother's 1 bed apartment where he lived with her at the time. his "team" didn't want him to release it bc it's so raw and uncut plus, he let's out a ridiculously loud burp but it's true lukas graham- and true to lukas' personality. I've been following him for 2 years now. he's got some unbelievable material your just have to search for it. his live performance with suspekt-in a different language of course- still incredible
Ok dude
I love this song this is competing for my number 1 spot with criminal mind there both just so good
this is what contemporary music should be
So emotional! Loved the song♡
"They tried to give u angel rings, but u refused to fly" maaaan, that was deep
"Better Than Yourself (Criminal Mind Pt. 2)"
I got the letter back
