My daughter was born in Jan 2018. She was rushed to intensive care and had a heart op. 5 months later another one and she ended up on life support. We were told it was 50/50 chance of survival as it was the 5th day. This was at Bristol Children’s hospital. At one point there were 18 medical staff around her bed. She made it. This song breaks my heart.
no it was about his dad, he had a massive fall out with his dad, then got a phone call. and found out his dad was in hospital, and he went to see him, and he said he was covered in wires.. and his dad survived and now they are so close it's unbelievable.
My son was born 3 month early and this song is a full musical representation of his first year of life on this planet which was spent in a plastic box with wires running in and out of him in hospital.
Barry Cooper ditto on the son being born three months early....it’s the line about spending the first night of his life curled up alone that kills me. I’m amazed he can sing this over and over.
Same with my brother. We were told he'd never walk, talk, eat, play or think for himself. We were told he'd have very severe cerebral palsy. He's 11, now plays sports and video games just like any other kid. The only reminder of his violent birth is a scar on the side of his face.
The emotion of a song, our youngest was rushed into hospital at 2 weeks, the time I thought we’d lose her when her temp went to 41c. She’s fine now, bouncing , a non specific illness. We listened to the eagles but the song doesn’t matter, it’s the emotion it instills.
As others have said this song brings home many emotions as my son was born two months prem. The first night after an exhausting day I came home alone with my wife in one ward and son in NICU, this song came on and despite knowing it before the words hadn't resonated until then and this pretty much sums up the early days. Pleased to say he's five and doing very well 💪🏻
This is essentially what I went through as a baby and obviously I remember nothing but just thinking of what my parents must've been going through back then is enough to make me cry pretty much every time I hear it
I can't help but cry every time I hear this song..and to be honest, a lot of my friends think I'm weird when I listen to this on the school bus. You know, I don't think it's normal for 14 year olds to randomly start crying on the bus when listening to music...
yeah January 2000 my eldest lad 1 week old Sheffield childrens hospital.. some things you just never forget.. And looking at him now you would never know.. he was one of the lucky ones..
this is surely a live! there are some imperfections in the vocals that make u understeand they're completely live! great band and great song i love them!!!
My daughter was born in Dec at 24 weeks and is still in hospital, this song will live with me forever.... I see it in your eyes.... Thank you Athlete, it helped me let it out x
When i saw this song live, he came on afterwards; just him and an acoustic guitar and he then got the crowd to sing the bridge. Definitely one of the best moments of my life...
Man, I don't see how he can sing this without breaking down. I can't even listen to this without bawling my eyes out. I just keep remembering when my youngest daughter was in the hospital five years ago whenever I hear this song and I break down.
this band are amazing its a pitty not much people listen to all there music, Best not to think about it, in the libary, are amazing they got a new album out in the summer looking forward to it=D
My mum had to go through her pregnancy alone. Dad had Tetanus and was in a coma. So sad but when he woke up - he had a baby daughter. Me. He even said I was a gift from God 🎁❤️😍
My parents & aunt died at 18 hit hgv on route back from another family funeral preganant women lived after icu this song reminds me of nhs i am going to work in soon & people i have lost via cpr etc & reminds me of my sons masectomy being transgender i had bloodclot xmas day powerful song & album x
The only song that kept me and my 3 month prem daughter after a lot of care alive i feel so much for those who havent had the same ❤️i cry everytime i here this
why are they wrong if i may ask? Do you have children? If you do, this song would get to you as well. I'm a big metal fan, but when i hear this song i instantly start to cry. You can call me a sisi right now but wait untill your first born and than we can talk.
This song appeared when I met a woman at an exhibition, we were in contact for a short time until she had to work to support her family and disappeared until now.
What a beautiful song... Filled with so much emotions. A beautiful inspiration for the song also; watching your premature first born child inside an incubator with wires attached on it's fragile body.. Seeing tears running down it's tiny eyes, and crying yourself because you are so afraid and uncertain (scared of the facts). Running up and down the hospital corridors.. And finally seeing the light of hope as the child opens it's eyes and looks at you.

My daughter had meningitis. She had no chance overnight. 20 yrs on shes ok. With 2 kiddies of her own. This songs always with me. X
Hope you're little girl is OK now, sending best wishes
I wish they’d bring out new music!
Amazing and powerful song.
beautiful song

A timeless classic. One of the best songs I've ever heard.
Should have been number 1
@@never152 too many great tunes to decide which is the best , this is on a huge pile of great songs.
True that ❤

Criminality underrated song

My daughter was born 2 1/2 months early, and I agree. It describes perfectly what having a baby in the NICU is like.
+Kristen Snyder we was in the same boat doctors told us to prepare for the worst......she turns12 next week

my cousin is steve the drummer
What's up Steve!
Is he still in the band? are the band still together?
Love the way he lifts the intensity one bar into the first chorus. Classy.
@@meetrasurrik6982 on a Haitus atm Joel writes a lot of songs for other artists like George Ezra
Best songs ever. Memories of my sister who passed. Biggest heart E, we miss you ❤. Uk 🇬🇧
Heard this on Radio 1 yesterday and almost blubbed like a lil girl. Had a premature kid a few years back and this always brings a tear to my eyes

It's such a beautiful song. Almost impossible to listen to without bringing a tear to your eye.
Timeless..nearly 20 years..thank you
i love the awkwardness of the bassist.

This is so raw.
for all of you who have had to live the words of this song as i have, Peace will come.
"First night of your life, curled up on your own"
Swear to god i feel like im about to bawl crying everytime i hear that line

This song means the world to me it got me through tough times. When I wanted to give up I didn’t, I think this song has something to do with that.
UGHHH I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH😔😥💗
You got wires? I bet you got goose bumps now, amazing song.
Saw these today at Trafalgar Square, soooooooooo dignified and flawless... thanks chaps and thanks for doing it for the reasons you did.
God bless xxx

My son was 8 weeks prem you would never know today 15 years old

what the fuck is wrong with the people who dislike this video ??
Daan Ebbers Dislikers are Assholes 😑
RIP Steve Roberts.
This will always be a great song.
This and 'loneliness of a tower crane driver' by 'elbow' are the only songs that can make me cry when I hear them. Powerful stuff!
Derri Leahy I’ll need to check elbow then 👍🏻
This song is fucking amazing, so powerfull and so deep !
this band are amazing its a pitty not much people listen to all there music, Best not to think about it, in the libary, are amazing they got a new album out in the summer looking forward to it=D

This song reminds my dad of when i was in hospital. That's what hits me most about this song. makes me cry! XxX
11 people don't have children
You don't need children to know this is an amazing track...just 11 people haven't anything better to do,,,,,..,,
18, and neither do i!
I was at this studio recording. Athlete and The Fall were my favourite acts that night
first time I've heard them live, and I'm not disappointed :) - great
the song is about the singers baby being on life support in hospital
Really nice song and performance..
Thanks for posting

Still need save

RIP cyx
7 people have never discovered there's more than Justin Bieber...
Daan Ebbers well,I'm a Justin Bieber's fan and i fell in love with this song
❤❤

2:59 love it
no, look at all the other comments or go on wikipedia, its about his daughter being born premature, not his dad being bad.
conheçi o som deles em 2007 , até hoje sou viciada , from Brazil ♥
This song appeared when I met a woman at an exhibition, we were in contact for a short time until she had to work to support her family and disappeared until now.
What a beautiful song...
Filled with so much emotions.
A beautiful inspiration for the song also; watching your premature first born child inside an incubator with wires attached on it's fragile body..

Running up and down the hospital corridors..
And finally seeing the light of hope as the child opens it's eyes and looks at you.
no its not do your research or atleats listen to the words in the song.....
rubbish. This is not the album audio. Vocal imperfections, different strings, longer turnaround after the first chorus, totally different audio mix.
I was led to believe that it was about the younger brother of one of the band members,,,, whichever, its a brilliant song
A fantastic song. Reminds me of my late uncle James ❤️
20 years ago my daughter was in SCBU...when this song came out it was second time around...major spinal op.....same running down corridors.
this song man... so sad but so beautiful at the same time.. he unleashes everything in the end. Just amazing!
hey,
Awesome movie!
have a nice evening :)
