Andy Grammer - She'd Say (with Ladysmith Black Mambazo) (Official Video)

- I know I might lose some people with this story but sometimes life is unexplainable. This song is by far the strangest most mystical artistic experience I have EVER had. My wife got me a phone call with a medium as a gift. Quickly into the call he said “your mother is coming through and she wants you to write a song to your daughter, she wants it to be from her about everything she’d say but can’t be there to say.” Honestly whether I’m fully in on this or not that’s just a great idea. Also my mom was a huge Paul Simon fan, especially the Graceland album he did with the South African male choir LadySmith Black Mambazo. So when I heard they just happened to be performing in Los Angeles the week I wrote the song it started to get downright eerie. I chased them down, blew up her photo, put it up in the studio, and tearfully explained myself to the choir. They huddled together and just started singing “I miss my mom” in ZULU, it was otherworldly. For the rest of my daughters life she will have this love letter from her grandma that she never got to meet. If my mom were here, this is definitely what She’d Say. Share this if you’ve got a mother or grandmother that you know is looking down on you.

imagine his daughter listening to this when she’s older..
😢
Psssh I’m not crying
Abbey Bennett i know right, emotionsssss 🤧🤧😢
I truly hope that it helps her connect with her family who she was not able to meet when she's older. I've listened to this song at least once a day, sometimes 5 times on repeat, since I discovered it. I feel like my mom and grandma are speaking to me through this song.
😭
Kathy, where ever you are, you need to know, you raised a perfect son❤️
its true
So true
Nicholas Whitman was this really necessary
Nicholas Whitman perfect doesn't necessarily mean you have more faults your right no ones perfect but I think they meant perfect he grew up with a beautiful personality that blossomed 💜
Manasa it’s his wife’s mom
My mom actually knew andy grammer's mom. She started sobbing when she first heard this song. She says she has never heard a more perfect description of someone than him describing his mom as "a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol." 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
What!!
That’s amazing, I love this song!
The devil is a damn liar. But this song is straight 🔥
@@free4umatt 😂😂
i'm so sorry for your mom
Let’s just notice that Those South African 🇿🇦background singers are amazing !
A-Mazing
They are stunning. Gives me chills.
Yes, they are!
Just those background singers connect with me. My great grandmother was African so I really feel something there...❤️
Cardboard Box well they are South African,Africa isn’t a country it’s a continent
This song hit home. My grandma passed when my mom was young. Always wondered what she'd think of me
Probably thinks you are amazing and beautiful and shes guarding you watching close
@@lenicleveland1380 thank you. That means a lot
Same with me, literally all the time that’s what I’m thinking
Before my grandpa died on my dads side, he told my mom she was pregnant with a girl before my parents even found out she was pregnant. He was 100% right🙃
My grandma passed 2 years ago. My baby brother. Was only 2 months old he saw her twice before she passed and now he says hi nana all the time and when we ask him who he is talking to he says my grandma name
As a South African, I can't believe it has taken me so long to come across this song. This is THE most beautiful tribute and anyone who has lost a parent before they could meet their grandchildren will agree. I sat here sobbing when I first watched this!
I lost my dad 8 years ago, last year my daughter was born on his birthday. She is his 1st grandchild and shares so many of his attributes it's amazing. Like he sent a piece of himself to us in her
I’m so sorry for your loss, RIP ❤️❤️
What an awesome, awesome song, sung by amazing singers. Being a South African l weep when l hear Ladysmith Black Mambasa ... l'm so proud of my countrymen 💕
Wow
So Beautiful 💕💕
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏😔
“You’re beautiful, but don’t you overplay that part.”
That’s such a beautiful lyric. His daughter will grow up knowing that she’s so much more than just another pretty face.
Laura She 2, she might not even have that card in a month
Card*
Yeah it's don't overplay that card not trying to be rude
I lost my mom suddenly two weeks before I had my first child. This song is amazing.
Her name was Kathy too. 💕
Ahw im sorry.. Wishing you the best 💚
Know your mothers soul left her body to live within your child!
"Remember God is like the sun he always comes out"
I'm literally sobbing
That line breaks me every time
I didn’t know “that’s what she said ” could be this wholesome.
Lolll
I feel like a horrible person for laughing as much as I did to this comment 😂😂
Lauren Werner I know. It just sounds like that the first time I heard it
Who else started crying like 2 seconds in? Asking for a friend....
Thought it was just me !
🙋🏻♀️ almost IMMEDIATELY just the Idea of what the song could be was emotional enough
MEEE!😭
Hahahah😂...same😂😭
@Aysha B I didn’t cry but I think it’s very cute and emotional 😊😊💕💕
As soon as the first "she'd say" left your mouth, tears pooled out of my eyes and my chest started to ache
Kylee Carman my goodness. THE EXACT SAME.
Kylee Carman omg same😭
Same the song just means too much to me
I’m literally crying. I lost both my parents and grandparents before age 18. In exactly a week I turn 21. It has taught me to be a strong person and it has taught me not to reply on others. I can’t wait to have kids one day, cherish all the moments and memories you have with your elders. You can easily be born but your life can easily be taken away unexpectedly.
Kayla Edens im sorry 😭
Kayla Edens that’s the hardest part
Oh I'm so sorry may god bless you
That is very sad, I am sorry for your loss but impressed you are still here! Keep fighting and live big enough for them to see you from where they are ♥
Thank you guys so much it means a lot.
"Let your heart lead the way"
But our asian moms would say "Let your heart lead the way but please bring your brain with you." Hahahaha
And dont put it at ur knee😂
IKR....
But I love My Asian mom so much 😂😂
Hahahaha!Too relatable
😂😂😂 I love that ❤❤❤
I was unofficially adopted by my Asian friend's family..they are wonderful..family is so important to them..morals..and even though she complained her mum was too hard on her a lot I really envied it..my parents were really strict on me too so I did relate to her but her parents were a different kind of strict..like a I'm preparing you for this world so don't be stupud strict lol they are amazing and learning their traditions has been such an honor.
Lyrics❤️
You never got to meet your grandma did ya?
Every night, I got you kissing on her picture
Cuts me up that you will never listen
To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice
I could tell you she was quite the mixture
Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol
Truth is, she's right there in you
She's a part of you, you don't have a choice
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words
She'd say "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
She'd say "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
She'd say "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
That's what she'd say
Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo hoo hoo
She said, "Take care of your sisters, I mean their whole world
Spend your days tryna lift them other girls
You came with love, a purpose, and your mother's curls
I'll be with you every step of the way, ay
Don't live your life tryna blend in, stick out
Trust your gut and don't you get into those doubts
Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out
Just when you think the dark's here to stay"
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words
She'd say "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
She'd say "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
She'd say "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
That's what she'd say
Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo hoo hoo
She'd say, "Listen to your daddy
In his voice, you will hear me
I know he will sing my song to you
And know that I'm happy
And you'll always have me
I'm watching everything you do"
She'd say "You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
She'd say "You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
She'd say "You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
That's what she'd say
Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo hoo hoo
Grandma Kathy
Grandma Kathy, yeah?

What does that mean can you tell?
I lost my Mom 2 years ago & I just had my first baby 3 months ago. The grief has hit me so hard since having my baby. I always talk to my baby about her. The loss is indescribable.
Thank you so much for writing such a perfect song, it's beautiful!
I'm very sorry for your loss! I lost my Mom one day after my 4th birthday and my Dad when I was 9 years old. I'm now 27 years old. I don't have children yet... but I can totally understand what you're talking about. I think I'm goning to feel the same way.. once I have kids.
I lost my mom 12 years ago today and I have a 3 yr old daughter that was born 3 days before the anniversary of my mom's death. Sometimes I feel like she's my mom reicarniated cuz she likes 50s and 60s music lol but anywyas it's so hard to not have a mom to go to when she's sick or to ask for advice it was even harder post partum but with the right support we can make it thru
@Crew4 Life I lost my mom May of this year. I only have 2 sons and wish I had a daughter that could've met her.
Something that might comfort you:
Child: "Mom, why do the good people all go first?"
Mom: "When you're picking flowers, which ones do you pick first?"
Child: "The best ones"
Our time here is limited to the minute we complete the tasks we were created to perform. I pray you can find peace and still feel her near in spirit. Hang in there. ❤
I'm so sorry. I understand the pain. I lost my dad about 10 years ago. He had grandchildren and was so amazing with them. My son is 8 now and in the 1st could of years sometimes I was so over taken with sadness I was not able to stand up. Its gotten easier with time. I still am sad sometimes and brought to tears but not the wrenching feeling I use to have. I wish you and your family all the best. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Andy is so amazing, but yet underrated. He makes amazing songs with such a powerful message and doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. Like some singers make dirty songs and get a lot of “hoo rahs”. We need more people like Andy.
I completely agree. His songs make me so emotional.
Sophia Simpson well said!! I detest the fact that nicky minaj overrated than him :(
Your so right
janfurdy comahig couldn’t agree more. I wasn’t going to say names cuz I didn’t want to get hate, but Ariana Grande is a good example. Her songs have soooo many bleeped out words. And Andy? None.
Underrated artists are the best artists
Who else cried I love my grandma so much 😔 just of the thought of her not being here makes me cry
I am so sorry 💔
I’m crying because my grandma died last year😭😭 I loved her so much😞😭
My grandma passed a month ago and this song came out just days after my grandfather passed still can’t listen to this with house sobbing cherish her deeply while you still have her
I’m my grandmas first grandchild and I’ve always been close to her so I have always seen her as a second mom 🥺
Pig Pip I miss mine more and more every day she passed 5 (almost 6) years ago I just wish I could hug her one last time
Why am I getting all these good songs?
Am I being watched by God themself?
I think We all are getting blessed.
Have A Great Life all of you!
Same to you
God is waching everyone of us
There is a historical sized revolution of revival beginning to sweep the south right as we speak. I’m near the red river meeting house in Ky (you should look that up it’s got some amazing history) and amazingly enough this area seems to be waking up all over again. I pray that the power of God falls upon you as it has this area and then some!
Thank you :D 👏🌹
❤️.
Can we talk about how strong this guy is for both the girl and woman?
Linda I know right! He is so strong to write such a beautiful and personal song but also do a music video of it! He was very close with his mom. I’m surprised he wasn’t crying in the making of this video. I’m very likely sure that he cried after the music video because he had to visit his moms grave at least for the video and show his daughter and make sure that she knows this song is written by him from his mom to him. I’m sure if I had to do a music video like this I’d be crying the whole way through the making
Quote: "I know I might lose some people with this story..."
Andy, like your father, I am sure your mother "does not care" what the rest of us think. You nailed it, sir! God bless you and yours.
This song has so much meaning the more you think about it the deeper it gets
I lost my mum 6 months ago. My 4 year old struggles with her loss. I'm going to play this for her and hope it brings her some comfort as it's done for me.
Thank you for the gift of this song.
Ahw.. I'm wishing you and her all the best! 💚💚
I’m sorry to hear that. Stay strong
I lost both of my biological grandmothers at 4 and 5, and they're big pieces of my life that I've been missing since then. Don't ever let her forget who they were and what they would be for her because I always wanted to know myself ♡
Prayers for you 🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sending you blessings and love from Seattle ♡
This song makes both my mom and I absolutely lose it. Her Mom, my Grandma, passed away about a year before I was born. One night, our family friend had a dream where she saw my Grandma holding a baby. When the friend asked whose baby she was holding, my Grandma simply replied "You'll see" and walked away. The *next* day, the friend ran into my mom in the hospital elevator and immediately told her the story. What the friend didn't know was that my mom had just left her OB/GYN's office after finding out she was pregnant with me. My parents had been told they were infertile and would never have kids - Nine months later, I arrived. According to my mom, when I was learning to walk, I would pull up on the end table where my mom kept a picture of her mom. One day, I looked at it and simply said "Rock you, rock you," which I would only say to people I knew when I wanted to be held. Before that, my mom had never told me who was in the picture. Now, 24 years later, my mom will still stop dead in her tracks and just look at me because, while my Grandma and I look almost nothing alike, our mannerisms are apparently eerily similar - down to our love of red roses and Haagen Daz Vanilla ice cream. Somehow, I feel like this song would be her letter to me, too, and I can't wait to get to Heaven so I can meet her.
AND NOW IM CRYING 😭🥺 I hope she’s in heaven dancing & singing along to the song you wrote for her
I hope she went to heaven
UGLY CRYING. I love this song but I'm feeling too much
I promise a women with this beautiful if a soul is dancing in heaven over joyed next to Jesus singing along.....
@@Shay-nu7id we dont know if she's in heaven tho
Gracie Mosko clearly she’s okay if she was able to connect to them!!
I was so unprepared for this song. It speaks on so many levels❤️ I honestly needed this.
Same. 😪 So powerful.
Right?! Crying at my desk at work, no big deal, ignore me. Lol
Love it

I found this gem yesterday. Hadn't listened to Andy in a few. This song gets me every time now 😅. Love my mama
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Yes
I cried like a baby ,11 yrs since my mom passed. Now that I’m a mom I know what kind of relationship she would have had with my children. I can only think about what she’d say to my babies.
no one:
me: ugly crying over this at 1 am instead of sleeping for school
THATS LITERALLY MY RIGHT NOW!
SAME
(but i peeped zion)
12:18 am for me
taylor boo I only went to school for 3 days and we already have 2 days off 😂
Exact representation of myself rn
everyone writes about money and fame but you really write from the heart....
Who else got tears?
Andy❤️
Another South African choir🇿🇦🇿🇦 we are blessed with music
Ladysmith as been around for awhile, if you have seen Lion King 2 they are on the soundtrack. The group has been around since the '60s
they were his moms favorite
This is the QUARTET OF QUARTETS, 80s,90s kings
I never got to meet my grandmother but i know i would of loved her and she would of loved me (:
When the baby said grandma Kathy I lost it such a beautiful and powerful love letter from grandma
This is everything. I love Andy, his family, his message, and everything he stands for. What a beautiful soul he is.
*you ever find a song at just the right time and it says everything you need to hear? Just me ok*
Your not the only one
Understand
This song hits me hard, one of my biggest fears is my kids never meeting my parents.
Oh my god same, I'm still 13 and my parents are kinda old. And people in my dad's family haven't really lived that long...
Anna Pratico omg me too! I'm also 13 and my parents are 51. My mom says she'll probably die around 72. That means she might not even meet her only grandbabies 😭. My mom is my world. I don't want to lose my world in 21 short years.
She should be so impressed.
It's a beautiful song.
This is beautiful and gave me goosebumps! Such a wonderful tribute to your mom and for your daughter!
Oh my gosh same!
This song got me... I came just out of curiosity - left with tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful and powerful song, thank you Andy ❤️!
Me too! This is so deep and meaningful, I love it. 🥺🥺
Im not crying.. you are... What a beautiful song.
I lost both of my parents before my 19th birthday: my dad 12 years ago when I was 7 and my mom last month on July 6th. I love this sing & it made me cry because my mom will never get to meet my future child
This made me cry more than the song
I lost my dad when I was 7 and my mom when I was 17. I’m currently 19, and due in June. I’ve struggled with the fact that my parents will never meet him. However I like to think that god took some people from my life early, to give me others a little early too. I hope that you get peace knowing you aren’t alone.
aaw :'(
-faith:(
samantha Duhon i dont want to lose any people in my life that early im 16 rn and it would be so f painfull im cryin rn😭
Beautiful background singing by Ladismith Black Mambazo. Proudly South African 🇿🇦

Beautiful. Grandma Kathy thank you for raising Andy like you did.
Why is he so underrated?
His songs are so good😍
Give it time.
Because he's sooo good. Takes some people some time to wake from the cloud of distraction. 💞

Andy grammer is underated, and some of his songs are cheesy, but they have meaning and are inspiring and are just something different and I appreciate it...Thankyou!!!!!
Hes my favorite...his music always puts me in a better mood! And i relate so much to this song. We need more like this guy
How can this happy positive song bring so much tears in my eyes? 😭
Because, thank God, you are human.
I’ve been a fan of Andy for so long now, and this song made me tear up. I’m so sorry Andy.
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a better line in a song than “ she was quite the mixture of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol“ It’s such a beautiful line to the song I can’t stop crying over How awesome it must be to have a mother like that.
We just got back from Washington for my Great Grandmother's "funeral". Actually, she told everyone, "No Funeral. I want to be cremated and buried under my favorite tree." She was such a firecracker, she went to the gym everyday till she was 85. She was a Tomboy through and through. She inspired me in so many ways. We had gone out to see her and Grandpa so they could meet their Great-Great Grandson a while ago. Thank goodness we did.
I apologize, I'm rambling. This video popped up in my recommended, and I thought I'd give it a listen. I'm so so glad I did. I needed to hear this. Thank you thank you.
I LOVE this!! Brought me to tears. I lost my mother to breast cancer 7 years ago this week. My son was really too young to remember her and my daughter and my mom were very very close. I can totally hear my mom saying these things to my kids as well. I imagine this was a challenging song to write, but man is it good. All the feels, Andy Grammer. Beautiful work of art!! ❤
Oh my god...I'm touched..thank you for sharing 😀
really im touched
your mom sounded like a wonderful woman may her soul rest in peace for eternity
I’m seeing this after my grandma recently passing. In a way I think of this as a message. I really loved that woman, more so than my own parents. I beat myself up everyday for not convincing my mom to let me go to the hospital sooner. I remember the hope I had when they said she was going to rehab. She was there for a few days, but back in the hospital. When I got to see her I couldn’t stop crying. She was, well, asleep in a way. I wish I had never left the hospital that day. 45 minutes after I left she passed. It was my mom and my grandpa there, he was telling the story of how they first met. They were both holding her hands.. I would give anything to be there.
I havent lost my grandmas but this hits so deep since they won’t ever stay forever. This is so powerful.
I feel so fucking honored to have had the grandmother that i did growing up...i couldnt have asked for a better one..she brought me up on my darkest days and she STILL does even though shes no longer around..
This song made me cry. Andy Grammer, I know somewhere out there, your mom is very proud of you.
Those 275 people were crying so much while watching this video that they accidentally hit the dislike button. ❤️❤️❤️
(Edit) Omg Tysm for all the likes! This video is so deep and amazing! 😊
vickie fairbourne I’ve actually done this with other songs and I’d go back and rewatch them and realize I’ve disliked it and I’m just like wtf why would I do that? XD

I lost my grandma when I was eleven and I thought that the world wasn't fair. Why did my grandma have to go. She was nothing but kind and loving towards me. Truly an amazing song. Thank you!
Allison Laotta reading this comment is making me tear up 😔😢
I read this and I was the same way. This made me cry to know someone else knows how I feel 🥺
I don't know if you have a relationship with God, or more importantly, if your grandma did, but I thought I'd share a little comfort from a biblical perspective. But before I get to that, I need to go back a few thousand years and set some context to the story. It's a long story, but I hope you'll read and take comfort in it.
The story starts with God -- an infinite, all-knowing, all-powerful being. He lived before anything else in this universe existed. And although He could have done anything with His infinite supernatural power, he chose to create humanity and a world for us to live in. He created a man and a woman and told them to be fruitful and multiply. You see, he wanted as many new friends as could fit on this beautiful home He created for us. He wanted thousands and millions and billions of people who He could love and who would love Him back.
But then something happened... the humans he created solely to love and who, in turn, he only asked to love Him back... those friends He created, turned their back on Him and chose to break their promises and spoil the perfect place He created. This saddened and angered God, and because He is Holy and cannot tolerate sin, His relationship with the man and woman and all their future offspring was irreparably broken. And so death entered the human race, and all of the couple's descendants for generations after would eventually die. And it was all because humanity turned our back on the very One who created us to be objects of His love.
But the story doesn't end there. Because of God's great love and because of his infinite mercy, He wasn't content to let us all die alone and be separated from Him forever. So He decided on a radical course of action. Instead of giving us the punishment that we deserve for our betrayal, He instead decided to take that punishment on Himself. And so He came to earth in the form of His Son, Jesus Christ, and was born to a couple named Mary and Joseph, who raised Him as their own son, although He was the very same God who had made them and everything in the earth that they loved. And when He had grown into a man, He surrendered Himself into the hands the same humans who had turned their back on Him, betrayed Him, despised and rejected Him. And they nailed Him to a cross and murdered Him for daring to claim that He was God and daring to ask them to repent of their betrayal. The God of the universe, nailed to a cross, bleeding and dying in the place of those who He loved, those who betrayed that infinite, supernatural love -- that God died for all of us. He was dead and buried. But again, the story doesn't end there. Three days later, he miraculously rose from the grave and overcame the power of death to make it possible for those who trust in him to also raise again to live with him forever.
Thousands of years later, a woman was born. And like her mother and father and generations before them, she was a sinner. And as a sinner, she inherited the same rebellious spirit and was inclined to betray, despise and reject her Creator. But perhaps one day God opened her eyes to the truth. If so, it was that day that she understood and accepted the truth that Jesus Christ had died on the cross to pay the penalty for her sin. And if she put her faith in that free gift... she was set free from the guilt of her betrayal. In God's eyes, she became a brand new creature -- one who had never betrayed Him, never rejected Him or despised Him. He looked on her and saw only an object of His Love. A woman redeemed through His own sacrifice on the cross. And when she died, she went to be with him in Heaven, to love and be loved forever.
That woman may have been your grandmother, if she put her faith in Him. And if she did, then there's really only one reason she had to go. Because her God, her Savior, the One who made her specifically to love and to be loved couldn't wait any longer to be with her. He had already waited thousands of years to bring her home. It was His plan all along.
I hope that this was the story of your grandmother. If not, I at least pray it's your story. There's still time to know the God who Created you -- to love and be loved. The Bible puts it this way...
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.... Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them." - John 3:16-21, 36 (NIV)
Your Mother IS with you Andy. Don't be afraid that your daughter will not know her. Your daughter knows her spirit every day through you. You are the embodiment of your mother's spirit, and through you your daughter knows your mother. You are who you are because of her, and your daughter will carry with her the very best parts of that, until she can pass on your light and your spirit to her daughter some day. Much love ♥️ my bother! Your amazing!
I lost my nan when was16 now been 5 and half year she past I never forget her. She had biggest heart in world I will always live her remember we have together.
Damn this hit hard I wasn’t prepared 🥰 I’m actually like crying 😢
His mother liked the Buddha type music. That’s why it’s there. Beautiful job Andy!
my close friends that have lost their moms remind me every opportunity that I need to be thankful my mom is still around and appreciate those moments.
In tears. I'm so glad his mum got him to write this and he listened. It's perfectly beautiful. 💞
I never cried so much in my life.
My grandmother died one year ago. Listen to this song touch right into my heart. I believe that's what she'd say to me ♡
I'm sorry for your loss.. Wishing you the best 💚
My grandmother will be gone a year in September. I also believe this is what she would tell me and all of her grandbabies. ❤️😭
Your mom was an incredible human being. I'm blessed that she touched my life.
I’m not crying you are, wow powerful words that I can relate too so bad, so touching😳
This is an amazing song that brings me to tears, as I think about the relatives I never got to meet and the future generations that won't know the relatives I did, like my mother, grandfathers, and multiple great grandparents. It is such a blessing to hurt so deeply because you can't hurt that deeply without loving in equal amounts. Thank you Andy
Cheyenne Bailey Im with you
Beautiful song and beautiful words Cheyenne Bailey ❤️❤️❤️
I cry every time, I miss my grandmother and this song touches my heart
the VERY first time me and my husband heard this, we had no context of how to song was written but we immediately were stuck with such a powerful spirit/feeling that me and my husband both were ugly crying at then end. (Mind you my husband NEVER cries)
This song is powerful. I lost my grandma 2 years ago. And this song really brings you back to what’s important, and makes you grateful for the time you have with your loved ones. And also makes me look forward to seeing my grandma again!
Lost my grandma when I was 7, still miss her everyday. She was also my godmother. Wish she was still here so I could talk to her. ❤️
I wish my daughters could've met my husband's mom. From what I hear she is this song to a t. Thank you for this song Andy
Mother is a blessing no one can replace.... God bless all good and responsible mother out there, Andy Grammer thanks for this amazing song. Coming from A fan in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Between these tears 😭and goosebumps I think I found one of my favorite songs. May God bless everyone reading this 🕊️
This song needs to blow up
The caption made me cry, I feel so blessed to have this song and your voice, you are a true angel
This song feels like a piece of advice and guidance and I love it. 😊
Ladysmith Black Mambazo are legendary...
They pick this number up big time...
They are my neighbours from the next Town im From Dundee...
Proudly South African...
this song hits home. my grandfather passed away when my dad was 9. i never met him, but my dad tells me all the time that he would’ve loved me.
Also, my grandma died when i was only 3, my parents tell me she loved me. i wish i could’ve really gotten to know her, i don’t remember anything, but when she passed away. i remember sitting in the room, and watching her peacefully go away. i remember kissing her hand before leaving the room. she had cancer. all i think is that she was suffering, she had to go, although it sucks, it was what was right. it honestly sucks that my dad lost both of his parents, but i think that’s what made him so strong. i love my dad so much.
😭😭😭😭
For some reason when I read that the ft was with LadySmith Black Mambazo, I instantly heard “But you love LadySmith Black Mambazo!”
Same!
I can’t stop crying I lost my grandpa 2 years ago and my grandma before I was born
Man, this song is so heartbreaking. I can’t ever imagine a day that I’d have to live without my mom, and the emotion on Andy’s face and in his voice is so sad and powerful. So, yeah, this definitely hits hard.
"Demma Kasshy"
"Grandma Kathy?"
"Yeah"
"Yeah"
MHA HEARTTTT --

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
So sorry for your loss
I am so sorry to hear that 😢
I never got to meet my grandma and when ever I hear this song I start to cry a little bit.
Oooooof what a punch in the gut... my Granma passed away a month to the day after I got married
LA Critzer sorry to hear but she’s lucky enough to live for your wedding
I lost my grandma on here 69th birthday in 2020 and it almost been a year and i still miss her as if it was yesterday when she passed.
im so sorry for your loss.
Simply beautiful and I am crying my eyes out because I miss my mom so much. She would say how proud she is of me and my kids too
Thanks lady smith black mambazo for representing us. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦🔥🔥
This hit hard my grandma died aged 55 two years before I was born and I always wish I had met her or had at least one picture with her to look back on
I had the same experience with my moms dad. I’m pretty sure he died younger tho. Because my mom told me if he were alive he’d be 60-70, so he died pretty young. And I know he didn’t die like... 10 years ago. He died 3 years before I was born and it breaks my heart. And where he’s buried (I won’t say for private reasons) is far from here and it breaks my heart I can’t even go to his grave.
My Mom died when I was 7, I'm now, 44. Neither one of my kids got to meet my Mom and I wish they had that chance, but, I know that she's watching over them. My grandbaby won't have the chance to meet his/her great grandmother, either. It's hard, but, all I can do is keep her memory alive for them. I miss her so very much...😪💔
I never got to meet my grandfather, my Mom's Dad, because he was killed in his sleep right next to my grandmother while she was asleep and pregnant with my Mom. So, neither one of us got to meet him. 😪💔
@@maezs I'm sorry you can't go, hers is about an hour from me but I'm awful at driving and haven't passed yet. I don't want my dad to have to drive me because it might upset him I'll go up more often when I pass :)
@@rachelgarcia9321 I'm so sorry x
A good parent is magic. They know and fix everything and instill us with a power that we go out into the world with.
"This song is beautiful" that's what she'd say💁💙
Aw this is the most beautiful song I've heard in 2019😍😍
