    I never heard about Lukas Graham much but after listening to his songs I believe that this man is a once in a lifetime singer

    Lukas is a genius lyricist. Wow.

      Agree. I really didnt listen to him much till recently. I tend to make the mistake of shying away from instant hits like with 7 years. A video of You're not there popped up in my suggested so I said hell, why not. GD what I've been missing. I'm also a writer so I only listen to good singer/songwriter music and he's truly that rare gem that only comes around once a Generation. The last one was Emenim.

      It’s true but it’s sad to think that he writes these songs off his feelings after he lost his dad at a young age he also saw lost of his friends get shot and killed in front of him

    I am only 13 and I know how this feels. my brother died at 4 years old. he got ran over on the 4th of July and this song explains deeply my love for him. Thank you Devon, for being on my side for whatever decision I make.

    I have a brother in prison right now and although I've never liked him I still wish that I could have a good relationship with him. Every time I listen to this song I think about the brother I've forgotten about and realize that maybe his hostilities and crimes were a form of lashing out at the family. Like a cry for help you know? That's why I cry when I hear this song...

    My brother was in and out of jail and prison since he was 16. He was 3 yrs older than me. Me being his little sister...I looked up to him but, after awhile got really tired of it. It was just DUI'S and stuff. But, at 59 he was sent to prison and he was disabled. I tried to keep him out. They would not listen to me. Within 4 months he had a stroke and they found out he had stage 4 cancer. They would not let him out. The prisons name was Graham. I accidently found Lukas and I thank GOD that I did. My brother passed away in those tombs of graham. They did let me go in his cell and see him. I had to jump a lot of hurdles. But, he died there and I still listen to better than your self and funeral. Thank You Lukas

      My little brother lost a case when he was 16. By 17 they shipped him to the joint. First time I wasn't able to protect my little brother. It's the most helpless I've ever felt. He's out now but this song randomly came up on my list when he was still in because of his 7 year song. I balled so hard and then had to listen to it 5 more times lol. I'm thankful everyday they didnt get what they originally charged him with. I'd have been going to visit once a week for the rest of my life.

    Back in 2014 my brother was charged with something that made me sick to think about...the last memory of him for me is when i was 9 and my mom was crying and saying "my baby wouldn't do this" she was in denial for a year. That day we weren't allowed to leave the house and were forced to stay in the living room while they searched our house. I knew my brother was guilty, but still it hurt to have him ripped away from me. I was on Pandora one day, taking a bath and this song came on. As soon as the lyrics started playing i begun to cry. Relating to this song was painful and nice.

    Im not sure why but something in this song brings out a deeper sorrow in me... Like there is a past I cant remember with someone in it who has faded into the deepest part of my memory. I know there are a lot of blank spaces in my past of times i don't remember. I'm afraid to remember though because one thing I am certain of is that they were dark times.

    You rather stay in hell and take your time in jail
    They're only punishing the soul that you will never sell.

    I wish they would use this song in Supernatural; I feel like it would really fit in with the theme of the show. Even though Dean really did sell his soul and was never in jail (at least not without Sam, anyway).
