Lost my wife almost 5 years ago. I feel I failed her. We should have never lost her. It was an accident at home. She left me alone with our two boys. I wish she was here. She has came to me and apologized a few times. I know that sounds weird but she has. We miss her so much. I'm doing the best I can with our boys.
As a mother, I'm sure that all that she'd want from you and I'm sure that you are doing your best. I lost my mom at 11 and although the rest of my childhood was less than perfect, my father did his best too and I turned out alright. He used one phrase of advice constantly, and that was for us to let our conscience be our guide. Best advice ever and I tell my boys the same.
My son died on the 4th of November 2023 I never thought I would smile again until I saw his twin brother and sister sing the song at the top of their lungs to their brother. I thank you for the smiles, you made a bunch of people smile that night
I am German and an absolute fan of the Murphys. I lost three good mates in 2018, my dad, my brother and a good friend. I can't remember the last time I had tears in my eyes, not even at the funerals. Today I heard the song for the first time and it all came back to me making me cry like a bloody damn little child.
My dad died this year. I miss him dearly. He was a special person full of love, warmth, and kindness. To everyone posting here, hug your family, hold your friends, and take care of yourselves.
My dad decided to take his own life in February of 2022. My dad had been sad for a long time - he lost his own father when he was sixteen; his brother went not too long after. I knew it'd probably end up this way, even though he had promised to stick around a while longer. I don't blame him, though - he taught me so much about what it meant to live in this world. To see the beauty of it all and learn from everyone else who's stuck here alongside us. I couldn't possibly be mad at someone with such a grand soul. My dad was a great, brave man and I miss him somethin' fierce. Love you, dad - I'm glad you're not hurting anymore.
my dad hung himself off a playground 2 days before my 21st birthday. than 4 days after my birthday my oldest child was born. that week SUCKED to say the least
My dad drank every day and cheated all the time, but he never stole anything, his brother Kevin did that whilst he was seeing her indoors. Will be seeing him again one day like you but not too soon, plenty of time for us to go. Peace. 🙏
I drink but I don't cheat or steal it's like your putting all these things together and you are so wrong.so yes you're Irish dad was a good old soul but don't class people that like a drink as if they were Satanist,I'm assuming you're some puritanical, protestant,he'll and brimstone an Ian paisley type.
My son passed away suddenly on dec 16th and one of his friends we haven’t seen in years sent us the link to this song. When we listened to it we all cried and we played it at the beginning of his service at the funeral home. It was perfect. Thank you for a beautiful song. Julie, Todd, Jennifer,Matthew
Blessed be the ties we bind and break. Having lost a good man to what should not have been his burden in this word, I pray for peace and joy for you and yours in the wake of your grief.
A dear friend who was more a brother to our family passed away on or the night before our daughter's birthday 4 days before he would have turned 40. He always said there was a curse on the men in his family and they all passed before their 40th birthday. This Saturday is his Celebration of Life. Thank you for this song. It says so much of how we feel and will be shared. Cheers all! Love hard and fast.
Ive been thinking about my deceased dad alot lately, i believe he would have approved. He was irish by the way. Until a couple of minute's ago i never heard the song. Miss you Dad. FSM, 1922 2009 .WWII vet POW.
My dad passed away on March 14th 2024. Once I asked him after a wake of my young cousin(open casket) I said dad i had to hold back tears when I saw her and he said “son, don’t ever do that just let your emotions loose and live free” my dad is 100 percent Irish he had the Irish curse and a lot of family gave up on him and stopped inviting him over. Yes my dad was a person who some people didn’t like, but my love for him is unconditional. I’ve been fortunate to not lose any immediate family members until 8 days ago. I’m grieving and this one is going to take a while, but I hope he’s at peace and I’m very sorry for your loss.
@@PussyLiqour I'm a bit afraid of your handle, but not of your message. I have the curse too. Iwish I didn't, but I have no other vices. You'll do OK. Life isn't perfect. I'm pretty sure that life will treat you right. Good luck.
I just got home from my Aunt's funeral and this popped up on the top of my feed. She outlived two of her sons and two grandsons. I know she's in a better place, with her closest loved ones. RIP Aunt Alyce, say hi to Uncle Paddy, Patrick, Ian, Billy and Shawn.
lost my dad 4 years ago. Damn accident. Still miss him and this song hits so hard. Proud to have a rose tattoo on my should. Long live the Murphy's and up the Irish!
Hear it every single night since the love of my life, my one and only, my beloved wife had to leave me, had do go ahead alone, after 34 most wonderful years together, 14 months ago... I KNOW we we will meet again and stay together FOR ALL OF TIMES!!!!💘 Simply can't await THE day!!!!! Wish EVERY night this night will be THE night...
Last concert I saw with my wife was the Dropkick Murphy’s then my life changed so much my wife unexpectedly passed . I cry every time I hear this song , but it helps me remember all that I miss about her
Thank you for this song. My little brother passed away in August of 2023, and this song has gotten me through a dark time. I have followed Dropkick for a long time, and couldn't believe I never heard this song until after my brothers passing. I guess there was a reason for that. This song is so powerful. I listen at least once a day everyday. Thank you for this song.
To all here who commented that they lost a loved one I wish and pray for all of you to heal from your loss and please know that where they are now is far greater then here and they are just waiting for you to come home. One Love and God Bless you all.
This is such a powerful song and it reminds me of both of my parents who passed away before I got clean. I was hopelessly addicted to Oxycodone and my parents spent thousands of dollars trying to get me the help I needed. I hope they see me now….clean and sober for over 4 years. I wish they were here to see me become the person that they knew I could be. Thanks for not giving up on me when everyone else did. I just wish you guys could have seen me sober. Life is so much better now and I know that’s what you wanted for me.
They may not be here with you now but they are with you always so they DO see you. And, they are so very happy and Proud of You! Just keep doing it day after day, night after night. Hang on to what you have built for yourself. Never, Ever Give Up! Just think of all you'll have to talk about and celebrate with them when someday you all are back together again. I lost my Dad in 2006 and I lost my Mom this March. When I say I lost them, what I really mean is that I feel Lost...and Alone without them. But I close my eyes to hear and to see them again and I take comfort that in that way I can remember them. Hang in and Hang on. In the end, its all anyone can do about anything or anyone. Just remember they are hanging there with you, with their arms around you. The Love is what lasts.
This one goes out to the one who showed me what it's like to be a son. And a man. And maybe a father some day. Alzheimer slowly withered him away, his husk passed in January. I miss you, dad. May your soul be in heaven 10 minutes before the devil even knows you're dead.
Alzheimers is tough man. It runs in my family my great granpa passed last year from it. Its hell to watch their memories go. Bless you man. Hes watchin ya. And hes regained all his memories of yall.
I feel you. My grandma passed away from Alzheimer's. It was tough to watch her wither away. She had a stroke before things got really bad, but I could tell she wasn't the same long before that. I think she forgot my son's name, but I'm glad she met him, as she is the only one of my grandparents he met.
@Mary Karr Yeah I'm with you. Sometimes it's hard to see the sunshine through the tears. But the good times will remain in our hearts and eventually they will illuminate the dark. Thanks for the comment stay safe and healthy. Peace to you friend.🍺
Today will be 7yrs since my father passed away from cancer and it seems like each year gets harder and harder to find reasons for celebrating Christmas without him being here with me and the family 😢
My brother loved this band. He took his own life last November. I can see why he liked this band. I found this on an online support group for siblings. Rest In Peace, Jimmy. 💜
Sorry to hear! I lost my brother in November 2020. He was only 30. I know it's rough. Try this, it's helped me a lot! (34:15 for the segment on personal loss) ua-cam.com/video/CADTkM1aoP8/v-deo.html
My husband, a german marine, passed away suddenly with only 51 on 15.02.21. I didn't know how to live without him. He was my life and he will always be. Never forget you my dear. I wish you were here. ❤️

Around 3 years ago I was at my lowest I have ever been. I wanted out. But in a funny twist of fate, my son who has aspergers and is non emotional, and never in his 8 years given me a hug. He suddenly ran up to me and hugged me as I came home from work......... it's the only time he has shown emotion to me. I wish that hug was daily, but it's not to be. And I wish he was here and not in his world of autism. It was that hug that had me in tears and possibly saved my life. Although life seemed traumatic, one good deed saved me. Never give up never surrender ✊🏻
My wife passed away last april at only 56 years , we had a fantastic quieter life last years and more time for each other and lots of new plans.. Our grown up sons still live with me, i am glad of that. I hear this beautiful song every day and always cry. Thanks for this music!!
God bless us all that loss has hit like this. I listen to it for my Wife. We found the cancer when she was 28. She didn’t see 30. I’m grateful for the time I had. This song really hits hard though. Her mother died about the same age from the same cancer. I swear it was that damn house. It was on an old tannery/chemical site in Jersey. I’m a construction engineer and I found asbestos and worse EVERYWHERE. I only mention it because had I met her a few years sooner or had made her go to the doctors she hated (pure blood Irish) you know how they are. Lol. Maybe things could have been different. Idk all the things you think of too late, Ya know? Anyway she loved this band. Anytime I need a good cry and a smile I find myself here. I won’t keep the album in the house. But every now and then I need it. I love you Kate, don’t torture the angels 😉 and keep my spot warm. ❤️💖 s.y.s.
Lost my mom September 22, 2020, miss her dearly. She left this world as peacefully as she lived life, laid down for a nap and never woke up. Christmas was not the same this year, R.I.P. Marie Cafferty Kidd, you are missed by so many.
@@andreas.6978 may she rest in peace. I lost my Dad in September. I feel for you. But it isn’t the end. One day we will all be reunited. And it will be a very cool party at Gods table. You take care my friend.
My brother passed away 3 days ago from cancer. He died after battling it for many years. His best friend suggested I watch this video if I wanted a good cry. It worked. And made me smile too. Thanks, Dave!
God bless Steph, cancers a very hard way to see someone go. I know. Keep the good memories close to your heart. You’ll see him again. Best wishes and condolences for you and your family
I found this song by accident and cried more than once. Lost my husband 4 years ago to cancer. Lost my daughter last year to cancer . For all of us who have lost loved ones we will see them again. God keeps His promises .
Wish you were here now bloke. 1 year on and the hole you've left in my & mum's life will never close. Until we meet again my old man! you were my father, regardless of blood & I can never repay you for all you did to raise me right. Love you my bloke, you were an amazing man in life & you'll be with us as long as we remain behind.
my dad died in 2016 and you guys where his favorite band this song makes me think of him so much and brings back so many good memories. thank you for all you have done.
I wish all who bear the heavy burden of great loss, a warm Sicilian Saluti and an great Irish Sláinte. May god bless you all and give you the strength to let go, the courage to grow and the wisdom to know... amen 🖤 🇮🇲 🙏 🇨🇮 🖤
So many are gone now, Dad, family, friends, and places. I sure do miss them all and no matter how bad they may have departed this world I know we'll all be together in our true home in Heaven, whole, healthy, and so happy to be together again and we will never say goodbye again.
Some pictures remind me of Christmas Eve with the family in the late nineties. I was born in 1984 and lost my parents in 2007 and 2019. Keep it up Murphys, I'm writing this with tears in my eyes
This song tears me up every time I hear it. It reminds me of my uncle who passed away due to stage 4 brain cancer. His grandson introduce me to this song. 😥😥😥
We lost our 38-year-old son to COVID, his brother wanted this played. It was played at the funeral. My husband and I are obsessed with the song, we watch it constantly. Brings up a lot of memories of everyone that was on the screen. We all have grandmas, grandpas, aunts, and uncles that we have lost. Thank you for the beautiful tribute to all of these people. Losing a child is something I hope no one has to go through, I can't overcome it. This brings a different meaning, showing how much my boys miss their brother.. Gosh I hurt. Thank you, I hope you see this.
Kathy, I also lost my son. He was 37 and it was 9 days before Christmas 2020. It is a terrible thing for a mother,father,siblings to have to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It will take time but you have to think of the things he did that made you smile. There will always be a hole in your heart but you have to fill it with happy memories. I still cry and always will at certain times but I am trying to be strong because I know that’s what he would want. May the angels guide you. Love and prayers, Julie
@@julie4012 The response means a lot he would have been 40 on this birthday, March 20th, and fought COVID all of April. It means a lot for you to reach out.
This song makes me think of my dog Moose. Not only was he family but he was the closest, most loyal friend I've ever had. He literally saved my butt more than once and I miss him so much. I LOVE YOU MOOSE MOOSE!!!
On sunday , it will be 10 years since my dad passed . Every day i think about him . I made so many mistakes I wish he was here so i could make it up to him . He was the best dad ever ..... God i miss you dad , Rest in peace . 7/07/14
I hope your life changes and makes blessings happen to you man I'm sorry about your son dad and your grandpa and aunt I hope you have a good holidays I hope your doing well and I just wanna say don't be sad don't think of doing horrible stuff to yourself there's people who love you so much in your family and friends man Merry Christmas 🎁
🍻 to ace. RIP. Once more for Onyx...🍻 cause friends don't get any better than stone black aces of loyalty. ... To safe travels, here and beyond. - Transparent
There is no one that hasn't lost someone. If this song doesn't gut punch you, you're not human. I can't hear it without seeing the faces of so many now gone that I pray to see down the road.
What an absolute gut punch of a song. So sad and sweet and beautiful. Please tell me I wasn’t the only one who sobbed like a baby the first 8 times I listened to it.
My brother who's going through some health troubles,i love him so much ,we will be together sometime somewhere,and god bless his wife and family,we will be there.
Wow, I commented on this a year ago after my fathers death. Here I am a year later. My mother committed suicide 12/12/21. My heart has been ripped out of my chest. This song comforts me. I introduced my mom to DKM years ago before going to Boston to see them. I played this song for her after my dad died (they were divorced for 45 years) and she said it was beautiful. Thank you for this song. 🌹
The fellas released this song a couple weeks after my mom passed, im pretty sure im not alone when i say it felt like they wrote it for me. Big big hugs to all of ya!!!
ANGELA F JOHNSON FEB 2 1978-SEPT 6 2024 My beautiful wife of 24 years passed away unexpectedly. She left behind a 22 yo son, a 10 yo daughter, and me. I ABSOLUTELY failed her and I'll live with that for eternity. I haven't really cried in decades, until this. Now I feel like I'm going to cry all the time (like I am now). I don't know how to raise a young girl. I feel her sometimes. I'll see her face and then her face as I was trying to save her and get 911. She was a good Christian woman who believed in Heaven so I hope that's where she is. I'm not sure what happens after, but I truly hope I get to see her in the next timeline! I love you woman. JJ THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG
Love your daughter and try your best. Though it may be difficult at times (it often is during puberty, whether you‘re the father or mother), love her as the person she is (not want you want her to be), and you probably won‘t make too many mistakes.
Last April my mom joined my father in heaven. This song was played at her funeral. Not a dry eye in the place. Thank you gentlemen for writing and performing a song that opened a stone heart and allow it to heal.
My dad passed away July 13th, and he loved Dropkick Murphys, so it was a real blessing to find that there's a song that perfectly summarizes how I feel. Thank you, Dropkick Murphys.
I get you. It’s nice to imagine there’s a stage and pit where our fathers go to mosh and push each other around. They’re probably waiting for the next Dropkick album to ascend
I always share this on my brother’s birthday and the anniversary of his passing. Tomorrow is his birthday. Rest in peace Justin and happy birthday in heaven.
My dad was a proud Aussie, but he was also proud of his Irish ancestors. He was killed 10th February 2012, 3 days after his 63rd birthday. I considered him to be my best mate and I looked up to him for guidance at that point in our lives. Thank you Murphy's, you sing it from the heart.
and here we are folks... just chilling around a song, reaching the end of this troubled year, confessing our pain in the comments... this is a warming peace that I'm feeling... to you all that are reading this and listening at the same time, you are amazing! Be safe, be strong and happy xmas! Wishing you the best to 2021
My dad was a mean but yet sober Irish man it took me years after his death to realize he was just preparing me for the hell of a life I was staring at I have schizophrenia so did he but did not believe in medicine I was like that for years and remembering all the ways he acted and toughed it out I wasn't able to do myself but that man did teach me if you have a mental disease don't do what he did grab a hold of it quick because when you lose your mind your ass will follow you straight to hell, I am 50 years old now I found this band just a couple of months ago they have helped me so much God bless all of you and God bless the Dropkick Murphys 🙏✌️
My mama passed away in March this year, this is my first Christmas without her. She was a good, strong, proud Irish woman. Thank you, DKM. I needed this.
Sorry to hear! I lost my brother in November 2020. He was only 30. I know it's rough. Try this, it's helped me a lot! (34:15 for the segment on personal loss) ua-cam.com/video/CADTkM1aoP8/v-deo.html
I just want to say ILOVE ALL YOU FOLKS!. LOSS IS SO TERRIBLE NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES! OH GOD THE PAIN, THEN THE MEMORIES HEAL US ENOUGH TO KEEP TRUCKIN. LOVE TO EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY THIS BAND FOR THIS SONG AND OTHERS!! sorry all in caps, but my heart is so full of joy RN❤
I read the comments before the song really got kicked off. I’m thinking come on...people are dramatic with all the ‘I’m crying’ thing. I got to about halfway through the song and kept reading comments about loved ones lost or separated from, along with hearing the tune of this song and..I mean.....I’m not...teared up in the lea...🥺😢😭😔. Great song. For every comment I read about such, I said a small prayer that the Lord will bring you comfort and joy moving forward in life this holiday season. Merry Christmas from Columbus, OH 🎄🎁
This is a great song. I love it so much. I just lost my little cockatiel companion of 30 years and I dedicated it to him. Thank you for such a wonderful sentimental song. This song has literally helped me cope with my loss. Cannot thank you enough Dropkick Murphey's. You have helped pull me from the sorrow.
My sister posted this song and I didn't listen to it till now. After losing my dad and father in law to cancer, not being able to see my mom due to covid and watching my brother in law fight for his life with covid, this song got me feeling a way.
lost my mom in august diabetic ketoacidosis. she had been battling for 33 years. we had her on a monitor and it went quiet for a couple of days but i was on the road so i couldn't make sure she kept up on it. got a call on a monday after the weekend. i was in utah at the time and she was in illinois. i couldn't say goodbye and it is always on my mind that i failed her. she was lost after my stepdad died two years before at 59... she passed this year at 63.. i haven't really cried since then until i heard this song. been on a numb course... thank you for this song.
Dropkick was my dad's all time favorite band...today would have been his birthday. He passed away in 2011. The last present I ever got him was a Dropkick live CD and a bag of coffee. 💔
Been there. But it gets better: one day you'll think about your dad and you'll remember him with joy, instead of grief, and you'll understand at the same time what you've lost and how it made you a better person, in ways that you probably cannot understand now. Is indeed true that time fixes everything, believe me. Just remember, your dad is and will always be with you: so go make him proud and kick life's ass. Stay strong brother, merry Christmas

I lost three good mates in 2018, my dad, my brother and a good friend. I can't remember the last time I had tears in my eyes, not even at the funerals.
Today I heard the song for the first time and it all came back to me making me cry like a bloody damn little child.

YES! AMEN!
Hear it every single night since the love of my life, my one and only, my beloved wife had to leave me, had do go ahead alone, after 34 most wonderful years together, 14 months ago... I KNOW we we will meet again and stay together FOR ALL OF TIMES!!!!💘 Simply can't await THE day!!!!! Wish EVERY night this night will be THE night...
Last concert I saw with my wife was the Dropkick Murphy’s then my life changed so much my wife unexpectedly passed . I cry every time I hear this song , but it helps me remember all that I miss about her
👊
❤
😢
Thank you for this song. My little brother passed away in August of 2023, and this song has gotten me through a dark time. I have followed Dropkick for a long time, and couldn't believe I never heard this song until after my brothers passing. I guess there was a reason for that. This song is so powerful. I listen at least once a day everyday. Thank you for this song.
To all here who commented that they lost a loved one I wish and pray for all of you to heal from your loss and please know that where they are now is far greater then here and they are just waiting for you to come home. One Love and God Bless you all.
Thank you
This is such a powerful song and it reminds me of both of my parents who passed away before I got clean. I was hopelessly addicted to Oxycodone and my parents spent thousands of dollars trying to get me the help I needed. I hope they see me now….clean and sober for over 4 years. I wish they were here to see me become the person that they knew I could be. Thanks for not giving up on me when everyone else did. I just wish you guys could have seen me sober. Life is so much better now and I know that’s what you wanted for me.
They see you ❤️
They are proud of you. Believe it.
Still clean you owe it to them
They may not be here with you now but they are with you always so they DO see you. And, they are so very happy and Proud of You! Just keep doing it day after day, night after night. Hang on to what you have built for yourself. Never, Ever Give Up! Just think of all you'll have to talk about and celebrate with them when someday you all are back together again. I lost my Dad in 2006 and I lost my Mom this March. When I say I lost them, what I really mean is that I feel Lost...and Alone without them. But I close my eyes to hear and to see them again and I take comfort that in that way I can remember them. Hang in and Hang on. In the end, its all anyone can do about anything or anyone. Just remember they are hanging there with you, with their arms around you. The Love is what lasts.
It is a wonderfiul song. Full of heart and soul.
This one goes out to the one who showed me what it's like to be a son. And a man. And maybe a father some day. Alzheimer slowly withered him away, his husk passed in January. I miss you, dad. May your soul be in heaven 10 minutes before the devil even knows you're dead.
I know exactly what you meant! Condos to you!
Alzheimers is tough man. It runs in my family my great granpa passed last year from it. Its hell to watch their memories go. Bless you man. Hes watchin ya. And hes regained all his memories of yall.
Amen! This one goes out yo my grandad you taught me the same . Till we see them again
Amen. Let them live on beyond our years.
I feel you. My grandma passed away from Alzheimer's. It was tough to watch her wither away. She had a stroke before things got really bad, but I could tell she wasn't the same long before that. I think she forgot my son's name, but I'm glad she met him, as she is the only one of my grandparents he met.
Who's here with a tear in their eyes deep in their cups having a toast to the one's we've loved and lost?
And to the ones we've lost that are still here....😪
@@brayzgame8037 too true
@Mary Karr Yeah I'm with you. Sometimes it's hard to see the sunshine through the tears. But the good times will remain in our hearts and eventually they will illuminate the dark. Thanks for the comment stay safe and healthy. Peace to you friend.🍺
I'm wit ya ol boy!
May I one day walk beside my angel again 😢
Today will be 7yrs since my father passed away from cancer and it seems like each year gets harder and harder to find reasons for celebrating Christmas without him being here with me and the family 😢
After 51 years I still miss my dad😢
Word.
same, 37 yrs and still miss him.
After 25 for my mom..and 15 for my dad
I miss my dad so much. I don’t have the words. This song speaks for me.
I get that!
I love this song..l play it everyday..l lost my first daughter in 1984 and my 25 year old son in 2023..❤❤
That's a lot of grief to deal with, condolences.
God bless your children and your family
God bless. Don't know you but I feel for you.
@@jamesthebond4904 so kind of you 🙂
I'm so sorry for you.
My brother loved this band. He took his own life last November. I can see why he liked this band. I found this on an online support group for siblings. Rest In Peace, Jimmy. 💜
Sorry for your loss.
Much love from Manchester.
I pray he found peace wherever he may be. I am sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear! I lost my brother in November 2020. He was only 30. I know it's rough. Try this, it's helped me a lot! (34:15 for the segment on personal loss) ua-cam.com/video/CADTkM1aoP8/v-deo.html
I’m sorry for your loss, I hope things are better for you. I’ll pray for him.
Fantastic melody, fantastic song
My Mother passed last June. I miss her so much from. This song is beautiful! Exactly how I feel.🥺
I can't wait till I get to go home❤️
R.I.P to all the loved ones we lost in 2020, You are gone from this Earth,Not from our Heart's, Cheers🍻!!!
Wise words my friend. ✌️
Well said, rip lost loved ones
Polish Canadian loves this fuckin beauty of a tune. Wish Mitch was still around to play the accordion while I do the rest. Love you dad.
Rip thanks too China and car wrecks, and hair loss that got counted as covid 😓
Very true Patrick
My husband, a german marine, passed away suddenly with only 51 on 15.02.21. I didn't know how to live without him. He was my life and he will always be.
Never forget you my dear.
I wish you were here. ❤️
May his memory be a blessing
As s Marine's Wife you part of a Big Family... ask for help and you will get Help... Semper Fi

I'm not crying... you're crying. DKM hits all the right spots!
Ditto. What he said. Miss you Wendy, my Bombee Bee, my protector, always my big sister.
Lots of dust around getting in people's eyes in DKM land today .
damned onion fairies!
Definitely crying
Ditto R.I.P Dad
Around 3 years ago I was at my lowest I have ever been. I wanted out. But in a funny twist of fate, my son who has aspergers and is non emotional, and never in his 8 years given me a hug. He suddenly ran up to me and hugged me as I came home from work......... it's the only time he has shown emotion to me.
I wish that hug was daily, but it's not to be. And I wish he was here and not in his world of autism.
It was that hug that had me in tears and possibly saved my life.
Although life seemed traumatic, one good deed saved me. Never give up never surrender ✊🏻
My son passed away at the age of 13. I play this every year on his birthday❤ And cry like a baby every time.......
So very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you
😢
My sincere condolences.
I'm so deeply sorry for the pain you go through. God bless you momma. He sees you!
😢❤
My wife passed away last april at only 56 years , we had a fantastic quieter life last years and more time for each other and lots of new plans.. Our grown up sons still live with me, i am glad of that. I hear this beautiful song every day and always cry. Thanks for this music!!
hope you find peace Brother .
I'm with you with love,tears,hope and deep wishes...😢
God bless us all that loss has hit like this. I listen to it for my Wife. We found the cancer when she was 28. She didn’t see 30. I’m grateful for the time I had. This song really hits hard though. Her mother died about the same age from the same cancer. I swear it was that damn house. It was on an old tannery/chemical site in Jersey. I’m a construction engineer and I found asbestos and worse EVERYWHERE. I only mention it because had I met her a few years sooner or had made her go to the doctors she hated (pure blood Irish) you know how they are. Lol. Maybe things could have been different. Idk all the things you think of too late, Ya know? Anyway she loved this band. Anytime I need a good cry and a smile I find myself here. I won’t keep the album in the house. But every now and then I need it. I love you Kate, don’t torture the angels 😉 and keep my spot warm. ❤️💖 s.y.s.
What a sweet tribute to your wife & Mother in law
Sometimes you just need a sad song to get through the shit life throws at you. Such a good song.
Lost my dad September 14, 2023. This song makes me think of him
It's so hard to hear this without tears.
13 January 2019 my husband passed aged 50 I've spent the last two days just listening to this song. I wish he was here!
Lost my mom September 22, 2020, miss her dearly. She left this world as peacefully as she lived life, laid down for a nap and never woke up.
Christmas was not the same this year, R.I.P. Marie Cafferty Kidd, you are missed by so many.
May she rest in peace bro, hope u the best , make her proud 👍🏼
@@andreas.6978 may she rest in peace. I lost my Dad in September. I feel for you. But it isn’t the end. One day we will all be reunited. And it will be a very cool party at Gods table. You take care my friend.
I’m sorry for your loss! 😞
My brother passed away 3 days ago from cancer. He died after battling it for many years. His best friend suggested I watch this video if I wanted a good cry. It worked. And made me smile too. Thanks, Dave!
Glad you got a smile from it. I re-visit this video and still cry but it's getting better.
It's long road Stephanie, God Bless, I hope you have peace and tranquility with your life, prayers for your brother
God bless Steph, cancers a very hard way to see someone go. I know. Keep the good memories close to your heart. You’ll see him again. Best wishes and condolences for you and your family
I found this song by accident and cried more than once. Lost my husband 4 years ago to cancer. Lost my daughter last year to cancer . For all of us who have lost loved ones we will see them again. God keeps His promises .
I’m so sorry 💜🙏💜🙏
To all those that lost loved ones, believe as I do.
You'll be together again, pain free and Happy.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Reminds me of my son.Cant listen to this without crying
Lost my beautiful mother almost 3 years ago. Every day, I wish you were here.
Miss you my Ireland!!! 2005-2010, best time of my life R.I.P. All best from Slovenia...I miss your honest face Ireland!!!
Jesus man, you turned me into a puddle of tears, a crying child. I miss the old man. Thank you for this. ❤
I miss me ole man too brother. You are never alone.
Wish you were here now bloke. 1 year on and the hole you've left in my & mum's life will never close. Until we meet again my old man! you were my father, regardless of blood & I can never repay you for all you did to raise me right. Love you my bloke, you were an amazing man in life & you'll be with us as long as we remain behind.
my dad died in 2016 and you guys where his favorite band this song makes me think of him so much and brings back so many good memories. thank you for all you have done.
I wish all who bear the heavy burden of great loss, a warm Sicilian Saluti and an great Irish Sláinte. May god bless you all and give you the strength to let go, the courage to grow and the wisdom to know... amen 🖤 🇮🇲 🙏 🇨🇮 🖤
Thank you
Thank you and God bless 😊☘
They are with us daily in spirit 🙏 AMEN
Yes
grazie, mia amica
So many are gone now, Dad, family, friends, and places. I sure do miss them all and no matter how bad they may have departed this world I know we'll all be together in our true home in Heaven, whole, healthy, and so happy to be together again and we will never say goodbye again.
Some pictures remind me of Christmas Eve with the family in the late nineties. I was born in 1984 and lost my parents in 2007 and 2019. Keep it up Murphys, I'm writing this with tears in my eyes
My sister died just 65, God bless her, She followed my mother died at aged 81 with the same thing. Alzheimer's is killing our family. Peace Family.
This song tears me up every time I hear it. It reminds me of my uncle who passed away due to stage 4 brain cancer. His grandson introduce me to this song. 😥😥😥
May all souls find peace. Those of the dead as well as those of the living.
With you all the way mate.
We lost our 38-year-old son to COVID, his brother wanted this played. It was played at the funeral. My husband and I are obsessed with the song, we watch it constantly. Brings up a lot of memories of everyone that was on the screen. We all have grandmas, grandpas, aunts, and uncles that we have lost. Thank you for the beautiful tribute to all of these people. Losing a child is something I hope no one has to go through, I can't overcome it. This brings a different meaning, showing how much my boys miss their brother.. Gosh I hurt. Thank you, I hope you see this.
Kathy, I also lost my son. He was 37 and it was 9 days before Christmas 2020. It is a terrible thing for a mother,father,siblings to have to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It will take time but you have to think of the things he did that made you smile. There will always be a hole in your heart but you have to fill it with happy memories. I still cry and always will at certain times but I am trying to be strong because I know that’s what he would want. May the angels guide you. Love and prayers, Julie
@@julie4012 The response means a lot he would have been 40 on this birthday, March 20th, and fought COVID all of April. It means a lot for you to reach out.
@@julie4012 You are so sweet, it was nice for you to reach out. God bless
I am so sorry. I get it.
triste pour vous mais belle musique et quand on l'ecoute on repense à tous ceux qu on a perdu!!!
This song makes me think of my dog Moose. Not only was he family but he was the closest, most loyal friend I've ever had. He literally saved my butt more than once and I miss him so much. I LOVE YOU MOOSE MOOSE!!!
my husband passed 3 years ago..not a day I dont cry...miss him so much..but life goes on....and so must I
am so sorry to hear of your loss. My mum is about to die from cancer and it's so bloody hard to handle.
On sunday , it will be 10 years since my dad passed . Every day i think about him . I made so many mistakes I wish he was here so i could make it up to him . He was the best dad ever ..... God i miss you dad , Rest in peace . 7/07/14
I lost my son 7 years ago. My Dad 3 years ago. My Grandpa and Aunt 11 days apart earlier this year. Thank you for this.

Raising my glass to Ace, here in Indiana. Romp in the sun dappled meadows until we're all reunited!!!
just buried ours..cancer. crying like a baby..fuck cancer. a few shots deep..rum here
There is no one that hasn't lost someone. If this song doesn't gut punch you, you're not human. I can't hear it without seeing the faces of so many now gone that I pray to see down the road.
Beautiful song ❤ ❤❤
My aunt passed away this morning, and somehow I found this song. I miss you so much, Auntie Barbara....
This makes me think of my father who was always proud of our Irish ☘️ roots . What a man
What an absolute gut punch of a song. So sad and sweet and beautiful. Please tell me I wasn’t the only one who sobbed like a baby the first 8 times I listened to it.
Still sob now... treble times of listening
I'm on my 20th or so time listening and it still chokes me up a lot. No shame in sobbing to such an epic song.
You are absolutely not alone with that I've heard it a million times and it squeezes my heart to where I can hardly stand ✌️
Not the only one
This makes you need a hug don’t care who you are ❤
I wasn't planning on tearing up today, but here we are. Well done, boys.
Same here
Copy that
Roger that
Aye got me there
Ναι ("yes" in Greek)
😢
Lost my Dad in ‘21, Grandma in ‘22, Grandfather in ‘24….How I Wish Yall where here
😞😭
My brother who's going through some health troubles,i love him so much ,we will be together sometime somewhere,and god bless his wife and family,we will be there.
Wow, I commented on this a year ago after my fathers death. Here I am a year later. My mother committed suicide 12/12/21. My heart has been ripped out of my chest. This song comforts me. I introduced my mom to DKM years ago before going to Boston to see them. I played this song for her after my dad died (they were divorced for 45 years) and she said it was beautiful. Thank you for this song. 🌹
If this song doesn't stir up some emotion, you are not human!
Was für ein wunderschönes Lied!!
.... Im Gedenken an unsere verstorben lieben Menschen!
The fellas released this song a couple weeks after my mom passed, im pretty sure im not alone when i say it felt like they wrote it for me. Big big hugs to all of ya!!!

My beautiful wife of 24 years passed away unexpectedly. She left behind a 22 yo son, a 10 yo daughter, and me.
I ABSOLUTELY failed her and I'll live with that for eternity. I haven't really cried in decades, until this. Now I feel like I'm going to cry all the time (like I am now). I don't know how to raise a young girl.
I feel her sometimes. I'll see her face and then her face as I was trying to save her and get 911.
She was a good Christian woman who believed in Heaven so I hope that's where she is. I'm not sure what happens after, but I truly hope I get to see her in the next timeline!
I love you woman. JJ
THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG
Love your daughter and try your best. Though it may be difficult at times (it often is during puberty, whether you‘re the father or mother), love her as the person she is (not want you want her to be), and you probably won‘t make too many mistakes.
Last April my mom joined my father in heaven. This song was played at her funeral. Not a dry eye in the place. Thank you gentlemen for writing and performing a song that opened a stone heart and allow it to heal.
Grim reminder of the fragility of life.🖤
Its a short ride. Love & Kindness & Laughter are everything.
Stay Strong for each other.
Go make beautiful memories everyone.
😎❤️🌅🤸♀️🌌
I miss my Mom so much 😢💔 I wish you were here
I just lost mine a couple days ago. Does it get easier?
@@Mamamoe13 I'm sorry for your loss and for me it is not getting easier. 💔😪 I talk to her everyday though, 21 years but it feels like yesterday
My dad passed away July 13th, and he loved Dropkick Murphys, so it was a real blessing to find that there's a song that perfectly summarizes how I feel. Thank you, Dropkick Murphys.
Same. It’s not easy to lose your dad. I miss mine every day. ❤
I get you. It’s nice to imagine there’s a stage and pit where our fathers go to mosh and push each other around. They’re probably waiting for the next Dropkick album to ascend
New favorite song. Lost my dad at 15 & Mom at 26. Just me and my bro now. We are stronger together. God Bless you all !
Brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to this song! I miss all my friends that have passed before me & left me here by myself & family.
I always share this on my brother’s birthday and the anniversary of his passing. Tomorrow is his birthday. Rest in peace Justin and happy birthday in heaven.
Dropkick Murphys, thank you for existing ❤️
🙏👍
My dad was a proud Aussie, but he was also proud of his Irish ancestors. He was killed 10th February 2012, 3 days after his 63rd birthday. I considered him to be my best mate and I looked up to him for guidance at that point in our lives. Thank you Murphy's, you sing it from the heart.
and here we are folks... just chilling around a song, reaching the end of this troubled year, confessing our pain in the comments... this is a warming peace that I'm feeling... to you all that are reading this and listening at the same time, you are amazing! Be safe, be strong and happy xmas! Wishing you the best to 2021
Cheers mate. Take care.
My dad was a mean but yet sober Irish man it took me years after his death to realize he was just preparing me for the hell of a life I was staring at I have schizophrenia so did he but did not believe in medicine I was like that for years and remembering all the ways he acted and toughed it out I wasn't able to do myself but that man did teach me if you have a mental disease don't do what he did grab a hold of it quick because when you lose your mind your ass will follow you straight to hell, I am 50 years old now I found this band just a couple of months ago they have helped me so much God bless all of you and God bless the Dropkick Murphys 🙏✌️
I love a good ballad. This is a good ballad.
My mama passed away in March this year, this is my first Christmas without her. She was a good, strong, proud Irish woman. Thank you, DKM. I needed this.
I’m sorry for your loss
Me, too. I lost my mom almost 20 years ago and my dad in 1975 and I think about them every day.
My condolences for your loss.
Sorry to hear! I lost my brother in November 2020. He was only 30. I know it's rough. Try this, it's helped me a lot! (34:15 for the segment on personal loss) ua-cam.com/video/CADTkM1aoP8/v-deo.html
Hugs
I just want to say ILOVE ALL YOU FOLKS!. LOSS IS SO TERRIBLE NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES! OH GOD THE PAIN, THEN THE MEMORIES HEAL US ENOUGH TO KEEP TRUCKIN. LOVE TO EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY THIS BAND FOR THIS SONG AND OTHERS!! sorry all in caps, but my heart is so full of joy RN❤
I read the comments before the song really got kicked off. I’m thinking come on...people are dramatic with all the ‘I’m crying’ thing.
I got to about halfway through the song and kept reading comments about loved ones lost or separated from, along with hearing the tune of this song and..I mean.....I’m not...teared up in the lea...🥺😢😭😔. Great song.
For every comment I read about such, I said a small prayer that the Lord will bring you comfort and joy moving forward in life this holiday season.
Merry Christmas from Columbus, OH 🎄🎁
Same here man and I'm not emotional.
Thank you and God bless you and have a merry Christmas!
Thank you.
Did the same goddamn thing dude lol
Same here dude, my face is raining tears right about now
Every single Word of this Song Is perfect. Thank you another time D.M.
A dear old friend in his 70s passed away 2 years ago a rough farming drinking Irishman this reminds me of him RIP Sandy
This is a great song. I love it so much. I just lost my little cockatiel companion of 30 years and I dedicated it to him. Thank you for such a wonderful sentimental song. This song has literally helped me cope with my loss. Cannot thank you enough Dropkick Murphey's. You have helped pull me from the sorrow.
I recently lost my son and this song is beautiful.
My sister posted this song and I didn't listen to it till now. After losing my dad and father in law to cancer, not being able to see my mom due to covid and watching my brother in law fight for his life with covid, this song got me feeling a way.
So sorry to hear that man. I hope better days are ahead for you and yours!
Power my bro! This is power song!
Am with you brother, lost my father 2 months ago to liver cancer. Having a hard time tonight.
I lost my Da’ recently too mate. I am with you. One day God will wipe away every tear from our eyes. Till then. Keep listening to DKM
lost my mom in august diabetic ketoacidosis. she had been battling for 33 years. we had her on a monitor and it went quiet for a couple of days but i was on the road so i couldn't make sure she kept up on it. got a call on a monday after the weekend. i was in utah at the time and she was in illinois. i couldn't say goodbye and it is always on my mind that i failed her. she was lost after my stepdad died two years before at 59... she passed this year at 63.. i haven't really cried since then until i heard this song. been on a numb course... thank you for this song.
Dropkick was my dad's all time favorite band...today would have been his birthday. He passed away in 2011. The last present I ever got him was a Dropkick live CD and a bag of coffee. 💔
I cannot love this anymore. I just lost my Father the day before thanksgiving. 2020 cant leave too soon!!!
feel your pain , lost mine on june 28
Lost my son 7 years ago. My Dad 3 years ago. My Grandpa earlier this year. I feel you.
2020 has been a kick in the dick.
Been there. But it gets better: one day you'll think about your dad and you'll remember him with joy, instead of grief, and you'll understand at the same time what you've lost and how it made you a better person, in ways that you probably cannot understand now. Is indeed true that time fixes everything, believe me. Just remember, your dad is and will always be with you: so go make him proud and kick life's ass. Stay strong brother, merry Christmas
The River. There is a song.
I lost my mom at the end of November after a 2 and a half year battle against cancer, so this song had me sobbing. Amazing as always, lads ❤️
Melanie Bush So sorry for your loss, Melanie.
Sorry to hear that x
I too lost my mom on November 22nd. This was a beautiful song that I am going to share with my family. Sorry for the loss of your mom. Hugs to you!
