My dad passed a year ago today...he requested we play this song at his funeral..so this song means alot to me.Thank you for writing it.He was an irreplaceable man and this song fit him well.
I hear you- Deepest condolences- In my situation a co-worker passed away almost 3 years ago and they played this song leaving the church. Awesome send off-God Bless.
I'm an American Newfoundlander. I live in the states. Never wanted to leave Newfoundland ever but I did and I go home every now and then. It's been 12 yrs now for me.. God, I miss Newfoundland!!!!!!!
My grandfather passed and this song reminds me of him, such a hard worker and a great hunter. Showed me many things in life and took care of me when my mother left me and my sister. Many things I’ve wanted to say to him but it was all left unsaid, I’m forever grateful of the life he gave me and things he’s done for my family.
Your ability to understand how so many people feel, and then to put that into a song is amazing. It's no wonder it's such a hit, certainly tugs at the heart strings. All your songs have so much feeling in them.
I lost three grandparents in the last 3 years and I feel the same this song remindes me of them all he did an excellent job with this song and I am glad he has blessed us with it
Every word from your song touches my heart. When you leave your home province it is always so hard with many regrets. I love you my beautiful Home - Gander Bay, NL. Thank you Peter for your beautiful song.
The music, the people the food, the landscape is still part of my heart. I left Newfoundland in 1956 but it has always been my home. As a senior I have travelled back every year for the past seven years to experience the land I never knew as a child. I love it and always take a friend with me. They love it and I will go again once COVID is over. Thanks for the wonderful music. I dance daily around the dining room table to the songs I love. Thanks for the memories.
This brought my dad such comfort in his last months. We gathered as a family to listen to this song after his funeral, that was his wish. I wasn't able to listen to it for a few years but now i listen to it daily and look at photos of Newfoundland.. thank you for creating something that means so much to so many.
It's a beautiful song about the good times in newfie, when times were hard but we worked through them as friends and neighbors. The real newfie is gone forever. Keep creating songs like this. All real newfie need it.
So many Newfoundlander can truly understand this song because it hits so close to so many our hearts, so many of us had to leave and go away, God sometimes I wish I'd never left.... God I love that Island and its people...
I saw a video of 2 women on a boat on the sea. One had a guitar and was playing this song and a whale was absolutely enchanted with the music! Whale and song touched me so, I had to look up song
This song really speaks to me, I haven’t been home in 11 years, this July I’ll be going home for a week. No one knows I’m coming home. Can’t wait to surprise everyone.
My husband just passed away and that's one of the songs he requested for me to have played for him at his funeral. Which will be taking place tomorrow. Thank you Peter Jacobs it says everything.
A great song .I think if you had an enjoyable childhood your home town will always give you fond memories wherever it was. I am now over 80 but I left home at the age of 16 and emigrated to Australia . But I will always have fond memories of growing up in Cheltenham England and have only been back once 50 years ago.
Played this song at my husband's graveside when he passed in September 2020. We also used it to make a slideshow with his pictures over the years. Couldn't have been more perfect if I hadn't written it myself. Makes me cry everytime I hear it. Thank you.
My family moved from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island in 1981. My Dad visited very often. He passed away in Oct. 2019 in BC. His last wishes was for his ashes to be buried back home but due to Covid & travel restrictions My brother was unable to fulfill his wishes. Once restrictions were lifted My brother brought him home we he belonged. Anyways My Aunt sang this song at his grave site today. You're home now Dad, RIP. Until we meet again. Love you & miss you so much. Thank you for this beautiful song!
I love this song too and I usually cry listening to it. My husband loved it and it was sung at his funeral in November 2019, the only comfort I can get is listening to this song while missing my husband.
@@Squad-fl8ij I can relate. I cry every time as well. My husband lived and worked all over Canada in his lifetime, including the Yukon. I at least get comfort knowing he lived his last few years back in Newfoundland and is buried on the Rock.
This is an awesome song. Makes me cry when I hear Peter sing. Such a wonderful. Singer and musician thanks for the entertainment Beautiful keep up the great. Singing. Brings back fond memories when as a young person in my hometown were. We were so happy back the
I agree with another person,this song should have won an award,what musical talent you have,an amazing song and yes EVENING am not from newfoundland,it really does speak to the heart.
Saw a Video in UNILAD, where a lady was singing this song to the whales while playing the guitar, on a boat and it brought the whales close to her. It took a while for me to search for this song and finally found it. Beautiful song !!!! Now, this is in my fav playlist. Tear,s I am from India living in Canada for 9 years, this made me so homesick. I bet Newfoundland is GORGEOUS. I gotta b there one day too...... Thank you for this beautiful song...
There are so many great songs written and sung by Newfoundlanders that paint a vivid picture of their homeland..Like Music and Friends, Heading Home,Longliners coming in., Caplin Time, From an Island to an Island, Grey Foggy Day, I am from Newfoundland, and of course we can all relate to this fabulous song :Take me back:. All of them are testimonials to the beauty of Newfoundland and it's wonderful people., at home and far far away.
To think I bought your albums almost 15 years ago on a trip back home for Christmas. You were set up in the mall. My family has enjoyed your music ever since
If I was from Nfld. I would be so lonesome, because this song would certainly bring be back to my home. what a beautiful song. you Peter can sure write GREAT songs . just love listening to you. Thank You from PE I . you ROCK!
My dad introduced peter jacobs music when we moved back to newfoundland we would sit for hours every single day him n I on the back deck looking over the bay..so many beautiful memories..sadly I lost him in 2018 this song is our favorite we would sing along loud, swaying body, feeling happiness fill our souls. I sit alone now, I start my mornings n end my nites listening to our song..like a video memories flow of us laughing singing enjoying the silence in the moment. Thank you for this song for all it means..you bring my dad back to me❤

I am from Black Duck, Born in Stephenville Crossing Hospital in 1967, grew up in a Town Called Kippens and later when I was a teen, Corner brook, I also sing and write songs, listening to Peter Jacobs makes me remember my roots and the upbringing we endured, we always appreciate the little things and what we had, We had the love of music in our souls and worked hard on the lands and seas to survive, winters were tetrus but we stayed warm with the love of family in our Hearts and wood stoves and most of all music, those were the days b'y and I sure miss them.
Love this song. I'm 66 years old. I was born and raised in Nunavt way above the Arctic Circle. I lived in Edmonton Vancouver Calgary Cache Creek Ashcroft Penticton Ottawa Saskatoon Rankin Inlet Iqaluit Yellowknife. Met my wonderful husband 27 years ago, he's from St. John's. We have lived in Winnipeg since we met. I am originally from Taloyoak in Nunavut. No regrets but loneliness for the home never goes away.
Hello Martha, are you yet in Winnipeg? My uncle in NZ shared this musician with me today. I enjoyed reading your & others comments. I have taught in the Arctic & one student came from Taloyoak. I love the East Coast also. Cheers.
I left home when I was 16 years old, I am now 65 years old, still living in the south. I accidently came across this song. I never knew I had so many tears to release. Arctic is my home, always will be, my ashes will definitely go to Taloyoak when I pass on whenever God decides to take me. Thank you Peter Jacobs. My ties to my home are so strong, I feel it inside. I think of home everyday.
This was the last song played at my dear grandfathers funeral. It will always have a special place in my heart and remind me of all the good times we had.

HOME!! it is a hidden Subliminal message. ( A salmon will always try to get back to where it was born, up a river,if it dont, it will die trying....
Love your songs,every one of them.I am always playing them on my tablet and beautiful pictures,would love to go there.I will be purchasing some of your albums and the christian songs are,well they certainly make me think more about God.anyway keep the music going and God bless you.thanks again for posting on utube.Im from edmonton,alberta.

Just spent a day and a half with Peter. He played on Bell Island last week. Such kind hearted person. He loves what he does and truly cares for his fans. A great Newfoundlander.
So proud to be a nflder ,and to the ppl who r so gracious about dropping the h’s in his song get a life that is real nfld u ppl should pull the plus out of your asses and realize nflders are a special breed ,we are special so don’t criticize your own by think you r perfect .Peter jacobs that is an awesome song ,from the heart ,as a former musician now living in bc ,I listen to your song every night .going back home next year for good Because there’s no place like nl
This Song is absolutely Beautiful. Of course, An Amazing Singer and songwriting. This song hit to the core and relates to lots of Newfoundlanders and also to "real life". Just Wow ,amazing song!! 100-100 EXCELLENTTTTT
@@candacecard3461 How are you doing today Candace, my pleasure to meet you here today . I’ve been listening to this song for years now & it sounds exactly the same In 2024.
Brings heavy tears up from my heart, from here on the Prairies.....such a beautiful song Peter. Thank you.... Sure puts a deep yearning for NL in my soul. 👍❤
Missing The Rock? Peter has had an opportunity to play for audiences all over Newfoundland and Labrador, and across the country of Canada. Take Me Back” in 2007.☮
I tell ya that the key to a good song is in the voice of the singer but the key to a song that rips the heart open is this one!! Im 44 and finally left when i was 11 for good prior to that i mabey spent 6 or 7 years of my life out in the bay then moved to mount pearl to the time i left. not a day goes by i dont miss that rock. And everytime i listen to this i think of my mom my dad and their lives.. and my visits back throughout my life up to this point. I went from a bay whop to a townie gettin a hard time for my bay whop lingo from the townies.. when i went to alberta they called me a stupid newfie cause there wasnt many of us up here back 40 years ago, but they soon learned we were the best thing that could of happened to alberta. I am the walking legend of the saltwater cowboy!! Today with covid19 spreading like wildfire where we were born dont seem to matter anymore does it? Thats because we are one species and we are all one that god calls his sons and daughters. God bless you all and this song will always be a #1 on my charts..
I play his music every time we have a get together.In 2016 I Had the pleasure of meeting peter Jacobs at our Bird Cove come home year celebrations.he was amazing .
What a wonderful tribute to his life and home... and the lasting effects it has had and the positive effects of such a connection.....much apppreciate t=your expression !
Great song Peter, you were shown to me by a friend that is from Newfoundland and he was blown away how we look so much alike. i have to say that he was right even my children thought i started a singing career. honestly sir we must be twins because it is very unsettling how alike we really are, other than i cant sing. I'm going to send the video link to my mother to see if she is fooled. keep up the great singing I'm really digging it.
This is my favorite song by Peter and this video is just wonderful. When your away and missing your Newfoundland home this is the song and video to watch indeed! Great job sevenview for creating such a fantastic video. Ed
A very soulful song that gets a top award from myself, in harmony tone of his fantastic voice, temp and all round finish - Fantastic and awesome listening.

Missing The Rock? Peter has had an opportunity to play for audiences all over Newfoundland and Labrador, and across the country of Canada. Take Me Back” in 2007.☮
Music blasted, smoke lit and just crying ❤️💔 love this
The thumbs down ,that I don’t understand why ,the song is ,it just speaks for itself
I tell ya that the key to a good song is in the voice of the singer but the key to a song that rips the heart open is this one!! Im 44 and finally left when i was 11 for good prior to that i mabey spent 6 or 7 years of my life out in the bay then moved to mount pearl to the time i left. not a day goes by i dont miss that rock. And everytime i listen to this i think of my mom my dad and their lives.. and my visits back throughout my life up to this point. I went from a bay whop to a townie gettin a hard time for my bay whop lingo from the townies.. when i went to alberta they called me a stupid newfie cause there wasnt many of us up here back 40 years ago, but they soon learned we were the best thing that could of happened to alberta. I am the walking legend of the saltwater cowboy!! Today with covid19 spreading like wildfire where we were born dont seem to matter anymore does it? Thats because we are one species and we are all one that god calls his sons and daughters. God bless you all and this song will always be a #1 on my charts..
I came from Port Royal ,down in the bay and is where I will be Rest In Peace.Number one song
Unreal my buddy , what a singer you are, nice voice my friend
Our family loves your songs Peter...Keep it up !!
When your in heaven you can find a newfie they are the only ones who want to go back.....great tune Peter thank you
I play his music every time we have a get together.In 2016 I Had the pleasure of meeting peter Jacobs at our Bird Cove come home year celebrations.he was amazing .
What a wonderful tribute to his life and home... and the lasting effects it has had and the positive effects of such a connection.....much apppreciate t=your expression !
Great song Peter, you were shown to me by a friend that is from Newfoundland and he was blown away how we look so much alike. i have to say that he was right even my children thought i started a singing career. honestly sir we must be twins because it is very unsettling how alike we really are, other than i cant sing. I'm going to send the video link to my mother to see if she is fooled. keep up the great singing I'm really digging it.
To bad we don’t know someone in Nashville,to get someone to record his songs.He deserves it.
Over 2 million views-wow-The man is a Genuine TALENT compared to some of the Junk singers on the go these days.
Nashville went out of style way, way back when you were a delinquent.
This is my favorite song by Peter and this video is just wonderful. When your away and missing your Newfoundland home this is the song and video to watch indeed! Great job sevenview for creating such a fantastic video. Ed
