This version of the song was released the week my father died. The timing of the release feels like it was sent to comfort me. I can't hear the song without crying. I moved away from home the year before to start my own life so the message of the song is very dear to me
I was 15 then... watching the top 50 countdown on Saturday morning. It was number 1 in Australia the first time I saw this, I had to know who the cute blonde spike-y haired singer was
The quality of songs that Boyzone did covers for, tell a lot about their quality and taste of music as well. This song is a real gem when it comes to lyrics.
The lyrics (and music) are written by Cat Stevens. They didn't even understand the song. The father sings to his son and gives him advice in a calm way. The son reacts in a heated way because he is young and frustrated. They sing the line "From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen" as if he is telling us that he had a cup of tea with breakfast.
Haha 😂😂 theres a genuinley beautiful version out their and you chose to listen to this version sung buy a bunch of Butlins singers. I would normally find your comment sweet, however the fact youve chosen the butchered boyzone version of a classic just makes me giggle. Criiiiinge. You'd love butlins mate! 😂🤣😂🤣 Search some one called cat Stevens.
Love this song so much thank you very much boyzone love you guys lots xxx thanks for your fabulous music forever best band ever you are amazing talented singer everything you do is fabulous hope you have many more hits
I see my beautiful boy for only 2.5 hours a week. I sing this to him everytime. If i stick this hell out one day I'll have him longer. This song never fails to bring me to tears over this. Hold your kids tight. Living without them day to day is a half life you dont want
I remember one of my sisters had this on cassette tape for Christmas '95. I think this was one of Boyzone's best singles, and sure there'll always be that argument from those familiar with the original that that's the best but regardless of who sings it, a good song is a good song.
This song as a child & adult take on such different meanings. All a parent wants is for their child to be happy. All a child wants is to find that special person to build their life with. A beautifully crafted (and sung) song ❤
My youth's days are incomplete without listened to their hits , this is 2021 & sometimes still thinking about the tragic lost of Gately , if he's still alive i believe boyzone would still be here for calming our heart & soul with their beutiful songs
This was our song and she broke my heart over and over...lol what a tart...I moved on ..always made me think of my dad anyway ..rip pops 21 years gone but never forgotten 👌
Cat Stevens, the writer and singer of the original version of this song in 1970 off his album, "Tea For The Tillerman" first heard this version while sitting in a restaurant, when one of his children said, "Dad, isn't this your song?" He sais, "Why, yes it is!" It was Boyzone's version.
My son was about 6 when he did a voice over with this song in the background via the friendly DJ at Inspiration FM in Northampton for Father’s Day. Fills me up whenever I hear this song
I made my late dad a video album with this song as background music. I used to call on his phone months after his burial thinking he will pickup but only to remember I buried him. But he is up there among the stars.
I heard that this song reminds of the students of Parents Day where their parents will meet the teachers and they will discuss about their children's grades.
My god this song makes me cry i was an adolescent when i saw the clip. And i was thinking abt the words, it is just a lesson for life that i did not pay attention to.... now i reached 40 with a messy life and i regret not to understand these words.... my life is just spoiled by mistake i was thinking that youth will stay forever
@@summerbreeze59h40I was the same until turning 31 (I know your daughter is older) but I drank heavily from being 13 onwards. Now in my final year of nursing and have three beautiful kids. Never too late to change. Massive hugs to you and your daughter ❤
This song has come full circle for Ronan, he learned to play this at age 10 from his brother Gary on guitar and sung this at the boyzone audition, Su g this with Cat Stevens on the 10 Year Greatest Hits album and now he sings this with his son Jack in mind
Lost my son aged 14 eleven yrs ago was gonna play this song at his funeral... R. I. P. Cameron love Dad
I can’t imagine that grief Paul. Losing my 84 yay old Pop was hard enough.
Sorry to hear that ..your son is in a better place
Big huge for you and all My energy 2024
❤❤
I Thank God for every second of Cameron’s amazing life and for every second you all spent together ❤
I’m 65, my lad is 30. This song says it all. Love you big fella!!!
I bet you are American
Thanks to the lads at OSW for showing me the power of Boyzone!

i'm here again in march 2019 living with my 1995 sweet memories ,,,
I feel you bro
I feel you, bro! Sweet memories.
You're right my homie!
When I heard this song I was 12 years old, what memories
I was 15 then... watching the top 50 countdown on Saturday morning. It was number 1 in Australia the first time I saw this, I had to know who the cute blonde spike-y haired singer was
My God this is 1995!!!! The year Ive been hooked watching MTV and this song was one of the hits that time.. Love you BOYZONE!!
I’m neither a father nor a son but this song can still bring a tear to my eye..
How do you have no parents?
@@DaveTaste I’m not a son because I’m a daughter, not because I don’t have parents haha
@@rcj.19 lmao my head was running all sorts of things trying to find the saneness in that answer.
so true!
😂😂😂@@rcj.19
This song bring me back to childhood, God please take me back to 90's. I love you Mom & Dad.

Oh I wish I could turn back time to when dis song woz released by boyzone I miss da 90s.makes me so sad when I hear this song
This song is a classic but Boyzone did justice with it. They did the same with another classic, Baby Van I Hold You ❤ sweet innocent 90's
It is my favourite version of Father Son by any artist or group
Since i have a son,this song gets more beautiful every day.
He is now 2 years old,what a fantastic kid!

@@billbailey1511 why are you in the comments if you hate this version so much? It's a beautiful song no matter who performs it.
How is your son now he’s 12? Time flys right?
He would be roughly 13 now
@@chrisniss91 😅 damn, that little boy probably got his own little lad 🤣
I remember hearing this as a young kid in the 90s. now 31 hits totally different (obviously) crazy how time goes by so quick.
The amount of songs I'm listening to and understand em now days in my 30s is crazy
I hear that 😢 hurts
Now I'm nineteen yo,
I think 90s songs are much better than today's
Ronan Keatings voice is very special and unique❤️
I still choose Stephen Gately no matter what 😭😭😭
His voice is shocking. Horrible
Lisa Davie so is his haircut 😱
I love Ronan since 1994 till now..😅😢
ronan is soooooo CUTE!!!!!!!!!! i can listen to them forever! i can never get sick of their voice! RIP stephen gately
Big contribution from 4 of the lads here.

Hold your kids tight. Living without them day to day is a half life you dont want
Sweet dad 😭😭😭
The golden 90s. I remember listening to this song when I stole my sisters Walkman. She had Boyzone By Request on Cassette. Where have the years gone 😣
I remember one of my sisters had this on cassette tape for Christmas '95. I think this was one of Boyzone's best singles, and sure there'll always be that argument from those familiar with the original that that's the best but regardless of who sings it, a good song is a good song.
15 years today it’s go so quickly 😢😢😢😢 and a sad day for the boys ❤❤❤
Watching this amidst pandemic brings comfort and relief. Those old days are still the best!
It’s been 2years ..and i still here miss you dad…Happy always in heaven
2022 and Boyzone still tops my list. I moved to the UK in the ‘90s and the music helped me in this new country whilst raising my four kids.
still makes me cry all these years later. such lovely lyrics
Thank you OSW for bringing me here!
With arms wide open!!
❤🧡amazing song💙💜
Remembering Stephen today, missed, can’t believe it was 2009❤️❤️
What a young Ronan Keating,haha
,,,And what a beautiful song,wow!
Even though I'm a man I think boyzone are really cool great songs great voice's and yeah I'm proud to be Irish 🙏
This song as a child & adult take on such different meanings.
All a parent wants is for their child to be happy.

Boyzone my favo boyband. Thanks for sharing.

😭😭😭
though I'm not a boyband fan, this song was a favourite at the time, and still I like a lot
Man, this song gives me FEELS.
Boyzone you are the companion of my solitude
A lot of truths in the lyrics, a very clever writer but also very clever singing because its so sincere, top marks all round.
This make me remember my father . He was wonderful human being and gentle soul
My favourite beautiful song!Success!❤❤❤🕊
Wish it was 1995 😭 💗
90s boy band are just pure gold.. ❤
Uma das minhas músicas favorita do Boyzone 💞💞🤍

God! They all look so young. They’ve improved with age just like wine
Still and always be my fav boyband

One guy sings and the other guys look at the camera. Great use of the members in a boy band.
Ronan Keating did go on to have a solo career
My favourite ballad for a long time... So soft and strong... And magic...
Amo as músicas deles
My dad passed before my wedding day...a huge travesty....he, I know would have loved the day. He was there with me in spirit.
i wish i could of seen my dad one more time before he died.and tell him i loved him but fell out with my family as not seen them for 20 years
Super song. Super cover. Still adoring it in 2024!
2021 and im still loving this tune. Stephen, always missed. Me as a cub my tune.
Steo the best, logic Ronan Keating THE best ever
this song means alot to me as i havent a mum or dad but i have plenty of children so they need a dad
2022! Still grateful for such a beautiful song❤️
How young they look! I remember loving these guys as a teen and its not until you are older that you really see the changes!
Can we turn back the hands of time? When can we experience the life's simple joys for the second time?
goosebumps...was a student in Apeldoorn Netherlands when this was in charts. Live was so uncompicated and safe back then...
Miss and love you dad
I think about my father and now I'm a father and this song means so much now...Miss my dad...
Who’s here 2024 ❤
