This one's personal! The night we got 'Days Like These' back from the producer, my dad found out from Facebook that his 'dad' died…6 months ago!! They weren't close, 'grandad' lived in America and he didn't meet him until he was 45 but after trips to Pennsylvania, bridges were built and we were surprised and sad, not to have heard from our American family, that he'd passed away. There's a bit more detail in the description of this video if you'd like to read it 😊🙃 THANK YOU to all of my very special supporters and RUclips channel members who believe in me and whose generous financial backing funded the studio recording but even more so on this one the music video that gave me the chance to tell my Dad's story after all these years.
Thank you for telling your dad's story about his father's passing. I met my dad very late in life and only saw him for 8 hrs in my life. Still, his passing was a deep pain. All the best and my heartfelt condolences ❤️🩹 to your dad, you and your whole family. You are a blessing and a shining light. ❤
Thanks again for another wonderful song---As a farmer--struggling ......and three sons(like you) this means a lot.One day you may come to Australia(soon I hope?)
First Ever I hear him sing Empty Chairs at Empty tables,with sincere Deep resonance of Feelings..of a sheer broken heart-tears flowing, Love Him❤ And his singing- Somewhere 😢❤
Thank you, Cormac. Janice's song, and your interpretation of it, comes at a time of great anxiety and division over here in the USA going into what looks to be a defining moment for our country. Your singing this song helps to hold onto hope for Better Days....BTW another great Janice Ian song I have been singing since John Prine died and she wrote it.
Cormac, you did it again! Your voice is amazing and the emotions you put into your singing are just incredible! I live in Washington State in the USA and I'm so happy that you have your RUclips channel so everyone can enjoy your singing. As I tell my 15 year old grandson who is an A student in school, an athlete in 3 sports and in the school choir, keep up the great work!!!
I'm just awed and overjoyed Cormac, you did a splendid job and your singing is just perfect and beautiful!! Bravo!!!✨🎙️🎶💖👏👏👏👏👏And your acting is just brilliant as well!!
Master Cormac - So real! So sublime in the heart and personal. Really, all of your songs are touching real issues of life and you make them not only your own musically, but moving tenderness about life and relatives. Stay true and real in your gift! I believe you are.
I found this because of Janis Ian’s post on Facebook. I’m so glad she shared it! This is so moving it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, @Cormac for such a touching song. I’m now following and subscribing to your channel, too. I can’t wait to hear/see more. ❤
What a thrill and what a pride for your father to have a son who can transform love into art and what admiration and what pride for us to see our admired child become a talented artist and a brilliant and sensitive man. I admire and appreciate you Cormac, this song has made me cry, thank you so much, my friend. A big hug from Argentina.
First off, heartfelt condolences on your family's loss. Secondly, at first I thought you are much too young to be singing such a soulful balad. Thanks for proving me wrong on that. ❤ 🎉
Very deeply moving and lovely, Cormac. Your voice is richer every time there’s a new release. I see acting talent too! Thank you for this. A heart-warming end to the day. Stuart
Thank you very much Stuart really appreciate you watching the new song and I love acting so i was very pleased to get the chnace to do more of that in this one too
this story is soulful and sweet. The song is wonderful, your voice is stunning. You are a very handsome person. Continue to sing the music improving your voice.
Folks join me today and pass the word along to family and friends about Cormac's voice. I have been following him for one long time and support him every single month. No disrespect to anyone for what they love ever. But Cormac has one beautiful voice today and needs your support to continue his singing for us all. He deserves this much. With all today that I have found including all types, Cormac is by far the most impressive to me for what it may be worth to all of you out there. His talents are amazing. I have listened to all at my old age. Again no disrespect to anyone for anything. Join his channels, join subscribers, join in support before we loose him. I hope this does not happen. Please give him all chances that he so deserves. Thank You to all of you out there. I know music of the most hardest of all. I was a concert pianist and never preformed in public. So I know when I let my teacher down and have never touched the Ivories ever since in respect. Thank You to All of you who do care. My deepest Blessing to all of you out there. The pestering old man from Maine, Brad
At the beginning, you come into the house and look in the mirror: "Why isn't there more for me?" At the end, you look out the kitchen window and the car windshield: "Mum works so hard and does so much." We should all spend less time looking in mirrors and more looking through windows. What a fantastic production!
I follow Janis Ian on Facebook and she sent me to you. this is gorgeous and so touching. I only learned of you just now, Cormac. What a gift you are! I subscribed. Please keep making music! The world needs you! 👏💙🙏
thank you Brian, I miss the old one but i am really starting to get to grips with the new one and i am really excited to move on and do new things with this one now too 🤲🤲
There is always a certain emotion in your songs and that's what I like about you. You have this ability to transmit all that to us with your voice. Don't give up Cormac. Your Friend, Thierry 🎤🎵🙏🏻
Cormac, family, and crew. This exceptionally beautiful video and song, I can't find the right surperlatives to describe this masterpiece, just that it is out of this world 🙏. A fine gesture to dedicate this work pf art to your dad.🥰
I promise i will he is very brilliant and I am very lucky to have him even if he did not have any one to show him how to be a dad he's doing a brilliant job all by himself 😊😊🤲🤲
thank you very much i am late for everything always so i promise it is always totally fine i am really glad that you have watched it now and that you like it too 🤲🤲
I was very pleased to find recently on the Facebook page for Janis Ian that you were following her page, that you young Skywalker had discovered her music. From the trailer you bless us again so pleasing to hear how your voice has changed and settled with your superb control. A great miraculous wonderful magical voice continues.
Oh wow Cormac you did it again, this such a wonderful rendition of a beautiful song, i share a similar experience to you with your Grandad situation, except it was with my actual father, so it really touched my heart. Thank you so much.
Thank you Patrick i am so pleased that you have been able to watch this and i wanted to tell this story for all the people who's childhood was like my dads
That was a very powerful and moving video, Cormac, and all the more poignant after reading your personal story, which inspired you to dedicate it to your father after receiving that heartbreaking news. Beautifully sung and well done to all who took part in making this song come alive. 👏👏 👏
Thank you Vicki I think he worked to not missing what he never had but he always had hope that maybe one day they would be friends, some things just aren't meant to be
Cormac, so sorry for the delay. I was so stunned by this song and could relate to it myself and meant a great deal to me to. Your voice was out of this world and the video was something else of utmost high. I listen to it daily and picked up so much by it. It was Perfect in every way. I hope it goes on a CD soon. I keep a close eye on all matters. The results please me to no end. Bless you Cormac for what you have given to us. YOU are a highest top singer that I have ever heard my whole life. From that first day that I heard you sing and got up and dropped to me knees and said this.....This is Impossible at this age. I never forgot that day and you have never let me down ever since and became a Avid Fan from that day on. Your pestering old man from Maine, Brad
I am solidly blown away with this touching production. Your skills to select and masterfully perform this Janis Ian cover are unbeatable. Bravo, Cormac! 👏👏
Just listened to "Days Like These" which is such a touching and beautiful song, in the video you sung with such feeling and depth of understanding. Excellent production work on the music video which is so moving, especially when taken in the context of your families backstory. Very powerful and emotional, you have such an amazing singing voice which continues to develop and mature. I have no doubt that you have an amazing future in the music industry and the world is a richer place for your individual unique sound! Keep up the outstanding work, we all believe in you and wish you well for the future! Best wishes from composer and creative Robert Steven Hunt.
thank you for this lovely comment Robert you are very kind and I really appreciate it we really wanted to make this one special not just for my dad but for Janis Ian too we dont think this has been covered before and I am very grateful to my producer Simon Hanhart for suggesting this song and for making it so good too
Well done, Cormac. I love this song, and I think it's wonderful you are singing unknown songs to put before the public. Thank you for sharing your talent and your story. It's a very sad thing that your father didn't know his father growing up. It definitely leaves a mark on a child. Nevertheless he has been a wonderful father to you and I know you appreciate all he and your mother have done and continue to do for you. I hope this song will be a huge success for you. Love and hugs from Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada. 🎶
This was really something special and felt very heartfelt, both through the singing and acting. Really nicely done, Cormac! Thanks for sharing and I’ll be sure to listen to the audio track a lot too.👏🥲💜
Very moving and powerful expression of your dad's experience. We should all try to see ourselves through our parents/children's eyes, and understand each other as real people with real histories and different experiences of life. Don't forget, your dad's name said backward is Y Not!
Thank you George and yes i agree 💯i had never really thought about it until we found out that the man had died and even though he didnt know him very well my dad was really upset he hopes one day that he'll be able to work out why 🤲🤲
Wow, I really enjoyed reading the whole story of this song and it is a wonderful tribute to your dad. It's a sad story and at the same time it makes for the adorable and loving dad you have now. I can't wait to see this music video and hear your amazing voice. Playing the role of your dad couldn't have been easy but as you say, it allowed you to understand his life, it's magnificent. Congratulations to you, your friends, your mom and dad and everyone around you. I am happy for you all and thank you for sharing all these moments with us your fans 🙏🏼🤗❤️👑🦋💛💛💛💛
Thank you 🙏🏻 I enjoyed doing all of this and really love how it all fell into place the way that it did. I know that what happened to my dad happens a lot to other people too and a bit like with Supermarket Flowers it can maybe help some people make sense of some things too 🤗🙌🤞
I think so, yes, that this will help and support the people to whom this happens. You always think of others and it really touches me the way you think. You are truly a magnificent person. I wish you huge success with this song... Your voice has become so stable. I know you have a lot of work. I hope you have a vacation soon. I also have a lot of work at school so I understand you 🤗🥰❤️❤️❤️big kisses see you soon for the outing.🙏🏼🌞🌟🍀🍀🍀@@CormacThompson
Hello Cormac. Wow! You tell this story like it was your own. With this voice so soft and so harmonious, I think you have found the style of singing that you should perform. You amaze me more and more and from performance to performance. YOU HAVE A VERY BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
Another beautiful song; sung with such expression and tenderness. I'm so very sorry to hear that your dad didn't get to grow up with his dad. I can only imagine how hard that must have been. Sad that the family didn't let him know that his father had passed away. Glad that your dad has a loving family around him - and great that you appreciate all that he does for you. Keep singing, Cormac.
thank you Jill music really does heal us and that is why we thought that doing this would really help my dad and all the way the timing was too was too much to ignore that we were meant to do something with it thank you again - Alison and Cormac
Thanks to everyone involved for this beautiful production and song that allows us to put ourselves for a minute in the virtual driver seat of the story that your dear father and your brave grandmother lived. I’m grateful to the kindness of your father that with your mother allowed your 🌟 to shine for us and were there for you when you needed them as a young boy. Now you have grown up and are proof of the fruits of the care and nurturing born in their hearts to make you a good singer but also a good person.
Hi Luis thank you for this lovely comment I really appreciate all your support, I promise we will use your donation to help create more songs too. Thank you 🤗🤗
Aveen Stewart did a superb job as the mum!!! I loved the way she looked up while cutting the mushrooms and just seemed to be pondering what her next step was. At the dinner table we knew exactly what the conversation was about just by watching her and Cormac's expressions and body language. While fixing the car it looks like she knows what she is doing and has the “I can do this” attitude. Finally at the end we have the “We can handle whatever comes our way - together”. This video captures the struggles of being a single mother but also the love and affection between a mother and son perfectly.
Your voice sounds so wonderful, a beautiful tribute to your dad, my dad was my biggest supporter too, it's been a little over a year since he passed, I'm still struggling and miss him so much, so sorry for your loss 🩸 please accept my condolences 🤗, you are in my thoughts 💭 and prayers 🙏 ALWAYS ❤️, so proud of you 🤟, hi to mummy 🥰
Hi Diane thank you for your lovely comment and we are very sorry for your loss 🤍 just to say though thankfully Cormac dedicated this song to his dads story and he is in fact still with us today. If you click on the description of the video it explains the story of his dads childhood and why this song is dedicated to him as well. Thank you for all your support 🤗 - Alison
Hi Alison 🤗, yes I read the story, that's why the condolences for Cor 's grampa/Tony's dad 😢, I am a single mom to my Bek, she never really knew her dad, don't know if she ever will, so thankful that Tony finally connected with his dad here in the states ❤, someone here should have had the decency to tell him, finding out on Facebook must've been just awful for him, and Cor too🙏, I can hear so much expression in his voice now/since the change, beautiful tone 💕, just amazing 🤩, he's come such a long way in such a short time, so happy and honored to support him, ALWAYS ✨, love ❣️ and hugs 🤗
Just wanted you to know, I just purchased your CD "A Borrowed Gift". One for me and one for my grandson. Praying you have a blessed day and enjoy every minute of it!
That is brilliant, thank you very much, I really appreciate it, i hope you and your grandson enjoy listening, please do let me know if you have a favourite track once you have been able to listen to it a few times 🤗🤗
Hi Cormac, I am sure many who see this video will identify with it on a deep, personal level and understand the emotional weight of the words. Sometimes just knowing that someone else has shared the same experience and understands all the complexities, that in itself is a gift and you have given us so many gifts with the magnificent songs that you choose. Can't wait to see this. God bless! 🤗🤗🤗
You managed to sing another beautiful cover. And that with this song you can tell your father's story of growing up without a dad is even more beautiful. Love the song and the video,
Cormac I want to say thank you for this beautiful song that you have sung. I am from somewhere in California. In the United States of America. And what I've been lately going through I really appreciated this song. So thank you for singing that song. Cormac please keep the good work up. And God bless you and your family. Have some wonderful holidays this year.
Thank you for leaving this lovely comment Robert, I am sorry that you have not been having the best time and i am very honoured to hear that our song helped wishing you all the best 😊😊

WOW,what a voice and a song,thank you so much,Cormac..
This is absolutely wonderful Cormac! It’s so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
This video and your voice is wonderful, keep going Cormac
This was really something special and felt very heartfelt, both through the singing and acting. Really nicely done, Cormac! Thanks for sharing and I’ll be sure to listen to the audio track a lot too.👏🥲💜
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed both 🤗🤗
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your dad's story and your remarkable talent. ❤️
Very moving and powerful expression of your dad's experience. We should all try to see ourselves through our parents/children's eyes, and understand each other as real people with real histories and different experiences of life. Don't forget, your dad's name said backward is Y Not!
Thank you George and yes i agree 💯i had never really thought about it until we found out that the man had died and even though he didnt know him very well my dad was really upset he hopes one day that he'll be able to work out why 🤲🤲
Simply beautiful! B R A V O ! 🙌🏼🤩
This is very beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful !!
Awesome as always Cormac, as is the video. Just hang in there. You're gunna be huge.
Thank you Elijah that's very kind 🤗🤗 i'll just keep taking it a day a time and see how i go 🙌🙌
Wow, I really enjoyed reading the whole story of this song and it is a wonderful tribute to your dad. It's a sad story and at the same time it makes for the adorable and loving dad you have now. I can't wait to see this music video and hear your amazing voice. Playing the role of your dad couldn't have been easy but as you say, it allowed you to understand his life, it's magnificent. Congratulations to you, your friends, your mom and dad and everyone around you. I am happy for you all and thank you for sharing all these moments with us your fans 🙏🏼🤗❤️👑🦋💛💛💛💛
Thank you 🙏🏻 I enjoyed doing all of this and really love how it all fell into place the way that it did. I know that what happened to my dad happens a lot to other people too and a bit like with Supermarket Flowers it can maybe help some people make sense of some things too 🤗🙌🤞
I think so, yes, that this will help and support the people to whom this happens. You always think of others and it really touches me the way you think. You are truly a magnificent person.
I wish you huge success with this song... Your voice has become so stable. I know you have a lot of work. I hope you have a vacation soon. I also have a lot of work at school so I understand you 🤗🥰❤️❤️❤️big kisses see you soon for the outing.🙏🏼🌞🌟🍀🍀🍀@@CormacThompson
I see Ms. Ian complemented you for making the song your own (phrasing). Your skill and professionalism are showing.
Hi Mark, yes she did I feel very honoured about that 🤗🤗
Hello Cormac. Wow! You tell this story like it was your own. With this voice so soft and so harmonious, I think you have found the style of singing that you should perform. You amaze me more and more and from performance to performance. YOU HAVE A VERY BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
this is so beautiful Cormac!
Thank you 🤗🤗
Another beautiful song; sung with such expression and tenderness. I'm so very sorry to hear that your dad didn't get to grow up with his dad. I can only imagine how hard that must have been. Sad that the family didn't let him know that his father had passed away. Glad that your dad has a loving family around him - and great that you appreciate all that he does for you. Keep singing, Cormac.
thank you Jill music really does heal us and that is why we thought that doing this would really help my dad and all the way the timing was too was too much to ignore that we were meant to do something with it thank you again - Alison and Cormac
Gosh, beautiful song
Thanks to everyone involved for this beautiful production and song that allows us to put ourselves for a minute in the virtual driver seat of the story that your dear father and your brave grandmother lived. I’m grateful to the kindness of your father that with your mother allowed your 🌟 to shine for us and were there for you when you needed them as a young boy. Now you have grown up and are proof of the fruits of the care and nurturing born in their hearts to make you a good singer but also a good person.
Hi Luis thank you for this lovely comment I really appreciate all your support, I promise we will use your donation to help create more songs too. Thank you 🤗🤗
Aveen Stewart did a superb job as the mum!!! I loved the way she looked up while cutting the mushrooms and just seemed to be pondering what her next step was. At the dinner table we knew exactly what the conversation was about just by watching her and Cormac's expressions and body language. While fixing the car it looks like she knows what she is doing and has the “I can do this” attitude. Finally at the end we have the “We can handle whatever comes our way - together”. This video captures the struggles of being a single mother but also the love and affection between a mother and son perfectly.
A total superstar for sure Alan 😊😊 thank you for all your support 🤗🤗
Your voice sounds so wonderful, a beautiful tribute to your dad, my dad was my biggest supporter too, it's been a little over a year since he passed, I'm still struggling and miss him so much, so sorry for your loss 🩸 please accept my condolences 🤗, you are in my thoughts 💭 and prayers 🙏 ALWAYS ❤️, so proud of you 🤟, hi to mummy 🥰
Hi Diane thank you for your lovely comment and we are very sorry for your loss 🤍 just to say though thankfully Cormac dedicated this song to his dads story and he is in fact still with us today. If you click on the description of the video it explains the story of his dads childhood and why this song is dedicated to him as well. Thank you for all your support 🤗 - Alison
Hi Alison 🤗, yes I read the story, that's why the condolences for Cor 's grampa/Tony's dad 😢, I am a single mom to my Bek, she never really knew her dad, don't know if she ever will, so thankful that Tony finally connected with his dad here in the states ❤, someone here should have had the decency to tell him, finding out on Facebook must've been just awful for him, and Cor too🙏, I can hear so much expression in his voice now/since the change, beautiful tone 💕, just amazing 🤩, he's come such a long way in such a short time, so happy and honored to support him, ALWAYS ✨, love ❣️ and hugs 🤗
Just beautiful 💙💙🙏🙏
Just wanted you to know, I just purchased your CD "A Borrowed Gift". One for me and one for my grandson. Praying you have a blessed day and enjoy every minute of it!
That is brilliant, thank you very much, I really appreciate it, i hope you and your grandson enjoy listening, please do let me know if you have a favourite track once you have been able to listen to it a few times 🤗🤗
Thanks, Cormac, it sounds great. Everything you do in your musical life comes out well!😊
Absolutely beautiful.. Your singing voice always makes me so emotional. ❤
Bonjour CORMAC.BRAVO tu est SUPER...A bientôt et un like dès maintenant.Christian.
Thank you Christian, see you soon
🦘🇦🇺 Simply, brilliant. Thank you for the experience. 🌹🙏
Hi Cormac, I am sure many who see this video will identify with it on a deep, personal level and understand the emotional weight of the words. Sometimes just knowing that someone else has shared the same experience and understands all the complexities, that in itself is a gift and you have given us so many gifts with the magnificent songs that you choose. Can't wait to see this. God bless! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you 🙏🏻 I really do hope that people can do that 🙌
@@CormacThompson I am sure there will be those who do. I'm looking forward to reading the comments. 🤗
You managed to sing another beautiful cover. And that with this song you can tell your father's story of growing up without a dad is even more beautiful. Love the song and the video,
Thanks very much Remko, appreciate you watching 🤗🤗
Beautiful heartfelt cover and video depicting the zeitgeist of the 1980's and the emotional trials of life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤔👍
