I often wonder if you realise the importance of your music to us, tom. You're incredible
Agree
Me too
And me
My dad is 81. He's declining. The song breaks my heart. I thank you for this gift.
He absolutely is!!
Sometimes I feel like listening to Tom's songs is like going on an adventure without a map. Sometimes you may like it more or less but its always makes me do not want to go back to normal life and reality.
Riv, if you don't think normal life and reality does not include Tom Rosenthal and his music, I'm not quite sure if you even know what reality is. Just being frank with ya dude. Lol. I'm in reality, and it's wonderful, and very beautiful because of this guy!
This
As a registered nurse, I've seen firsthand the peace and ultimately, willingness to take a last breath that can come to a dying person when their family gives them permission to go-- "it's okay dad, you can go" moved me so much. Thank you for such raw and accessible songwriting. It matters.
Beautiful words. Thank you Andrea!!
I feel humbled that you trust your listeners so much to put out this heart-wrenchingly emotional song. It's not a tune that will gain a lot of traction, but most definitely a song that everyone of us will come back to when it's time for it.
'Had to go a long way to be who you are' just a simple line, but means so much to me!
Well, I haven't expected to cry that hard...
My dad died 10 years ago. On his last day my mom and I sat next to his bed, knowing he wouldn't wake up again, watching him sleep and singing to him.
So I started crying with the first lines of the song. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
I'll never forget you, dad.
now i am crying man
im so sorry
when I read it made me cry, I'm so sorry ...
Lately I've been thinking a lot about one of my former high school teachers. He was one of the most interesting people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I can't possibly express his person in a single comment, not even a full book could do that. He was truly one of a kind... for better and for worse, haha. But I can say that I don't think I'll ever forget him. In the best way possible.
He loved Bob Dylan. Now every time I hear Hey Mister Tambourine Man, I think of him. With Dylan's 80th birthday now, the reminders are everywhere.
I went to see him in the hospital only days before he passed. I'm very glad I took the chance to say goodbye. I'm incredibly thankful I got to have him as a teacher. He would be happy to know that he definitely made an impact.
This song made me think of him. I too hope that he made it safely past the hospital car park. He'd always been an adventurer - I'm sure he took on the new journey with his typical boldness, stubbornness and curiosity.
Thank you ❤
I can totally relate to this. The only difference is that my teacher is still alive. He is a very special kind of human - he cared so much about me. I think he is probably the person who has impacted me the most - in such a positive way. I often ask myself where I would be without him being a part of my life - honestly, I don‘t know.
Your comment made me realize that the time to say „Thank you!“ to this teacher is now and not when it‘s already too late. So i wrote him and I will meet him again very soon!
So, whoever is gonna read this: This is your sign. Make sure to say your words to this very special person before it is too late - they deserve to hear it ❤️
@@jasminrohrer7896 This is such a lovely reply... thank you for sharing! Your teacher sounds like an incredible person and I'm very happy you reached out! I'm sure he was delighted. I'm wishing you both all the best! Take care ❤
I spent wonderful 2 weeks helping to look after my grandad before he died. My family doesn’t have close bonds and I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him. When he got to the hospital he was miserable, I hated to see him like this. He was a musician so I got him an old disc man (he was mostly blind, so I needed something with proper buttons). His wife brought his CDs and I taught him how to use the disc man. He was so happy. The last time I saw him, I brought my ukulele and sang him songs. I knew it was the last time, he didn’t have much strength to do anything other than move his foot into the rhythm. He asked to see my instrument and he touched it all over and said that I might need new strings. I miss him even though I didn’t know him for most of his time here.
tom, your music feels like a good cry that lasts for weeks but is so cleansing
this song might not become a number one hit, but i guarantee you it will mean a lot to many, many people.
thankyou for what you do, tom. we all love you :)
Thank you! My grandfather died last weekend...and this song catches so many of my emotions. I had to laugh at the "I hope you make it past the hospital car park". Thank you for that!
That first line alone is beautiful.
Tom, you are a gift to the world.
I hope he's happy where he is ❤️
My dad died when I was only 13 and while I’m 21 now this song brings my heart and mind so much peace thank you so much
I know you appreciate stories behind our first listenings of your songs, so here's mine. This is the first song I listen to since I've been told that my greatgrandmother died. She passed away last night and obviously this song couldn't have been released at any better time. Thank you for sharing it with us, I will hold it dear forever
i lost my grandpa, one of the people who raised me and my sister, three months ago, without saying goodbye because of covid. i truly hope he hasn't felt any pain that last week. i know he did, but i still hope. thank you tom
I totally feel you, my grandpa died in February after nearly a month in the hospital and we couldn't stay with him. I miss him and the light he had in his eyes when he saw me. I send you a hug❤️
"And tried to store up every single vein fixed in my mind for all tomorrow's days". That hit me. My grandmother passed away this February, we took shifts staying next to her and holding her hand. I tried so hard to remember everything about her, every vein, every wrinkle. Thank you, Tom. Your songs have been with me through all kinds of places in life. Thank you.
0:01 Crying already
My father died two weeks ago caused by cancer. Thank you for this song even tho it makes me cry
I have special needs and autism. This song is making me feel feelings that I’ve never felt before. My grandpa is in the hospital as he had a heart attack four months ago, been on and off a ventilator. He’s not able to swallow food and he failed his swallow test so they are keeping him longer. I want him to come home but all we can do is wait and pray that he gets better soon. ❤️
the song make me feel homesick for my parents. now i kinda want to go home and hug them real tight, i feel like i've been taking my time with them for granted...
Lost My Father just this May, we were with him when he gave his breath of life back, but it is still so hard.
Tom, I don’t know where I’ve been but I stumbled on your music yesterday and I can’t stop listening to its lush and sublime. My 13 y/o dog Buffy died 4-months-ago in my arms and I’ve just been wracked with grief in some feverish and strange dream of missing, yearning, the existential, and no shortage of magical thinking. Reality and daily functioning find their in there, too. The grief centers on her but is also filled with so many thoughts of my grandparents, father, friends, and the other four-legged children who flew away before her. And so many heads whose heads I lay mine on. And so many many memories and wishes fulfilled and so many remaining unfulfilled. Thank you for this album from the bottom of my heart. May we all soar. 🧡
OH MY HEART THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL I AM CRYING SO HARD. my grandma passed away two month ago bc of cancer, I feel the grief everywhere. thank you.
No album has ever made me cry as much as this one has.
Absolutely stunning song, full of emotion. Gave me feelings I haven’t felt for a long time ❤️
i lost my dad this month to cancer. it resonates a lot...
My dad is battling cancer and even though now everything looks like he'll easily live another 10+ years, the past weeks and months of uncertainty and to actually get confronted with the mortality of my parents for the first time destroyed me, needless to say this song is draining my eyes right now. It's really beautiful though :)
your music makes my life more beautiful
It's truly one of the most emotional songs for me.It remind me of my pet who died recently. Tahnk you for such great song.greetings from Romania
Sometimes I feel alone and really worried about lots of random things but whenever I listen to Tom’s music I feel so safe and happy, giving me reassurance that it will be ok. Thanks Tom, love your music ❤️
Beautiful!
Thank you Tom! A true thank you from our hearts!
I'm having a rough time and I just thought "it's not that bad, there is Tom Rosenthal in this world". Thank you from the depths of my heart for your wonderful gifts!
Dear Tom, your music has inspired me deeply and I love your music. I’m so sorry for your loss, my father also died when I was young and though I did not know him very well I still always loved him no matter what other people have said about him, he’s my dad and will always be my dad. I know you won’t comment on this comment maybe but I just want you to know that I’m here for you even though we don’t know each other. Looking forward seeing more of your beautiful, relaxing music. Thanks to my brother I found you and your music, without him telling me about you I don’t know what I would of been listening everyday. I hope you have a great day Tom.
🙂
As a person still dealing with complicated grief over my own father’s passing, I desperately want to listen to this album but I’m not sure if I can do it. Thank you Tom, your music hits just the right spot every time.
Goosebumps
I wish I could pay tribute in such a beautiful way as this to my Gran who recently passed. She gave me so much. I've tried to paint for her, but it doesn't feel like enough. I've tried to write poetry. I think I'm just saying that it's so special that you can put your love into an art form like this, Tom.
Late last year while in the middle of HSC, my nana passed away. I was always told I was the one that saved her from dying early cause I was born around the same time that her husband died so when she finally passed I felt blame and confusion as the family pushed me to say her eulogy at the funeral. All while trying to pass and receive a HSC certificate. I didn’t know how to express my emotions and what I was going through. Thank you for creating such a beautiful song that manage to perfectly describe what was left of me after her passing. Truly an amazing artist 🙏🏻
Thank you Tom, for putting into words even the most vulnerable things in life. My 98yr old grandmother passed away last year, I think about her and grieve every day. She also was afraid to die but I think made her peace in the very end.. now she knows.
I heard this song via the wonderful mailing list and had it on repeat for my walk home from work with my sunglasses on to help hide the waterfall forming on my face. This song is so much.
I can relate so much watching someone you love sleep and be so close to their dreams.
It is a beautiful and painful process if you know it will be the last time they have closed their eyes and they will leave your world soon
Thank you tom for this song. I lost my grandfather a couple months ago, and this song brought me back to holding his hand as he passed. I needed a good cry! Thank you ❤
Tom Rosenthal's voice and a piano should be welcoming me the day I walk through the gates of heaven. You're a true treasure and a big inspiration to me. Your music is what hope feels like.
Definitely, your music is magic, thank you very much.
Thank you so so much for this song. I had a pretty rough time and I finally felt my mom again. Please, anyone who’s reading this comment give your loved ones a big hug
this song makes me feelso emotional but in a very comforting way, like a hug 💗
I've been realizing, for the past year, that the dad I looked up to, but was scared of, was what people considered violent, manipulative and a liar. He's been frightening me for some years, and putting me down, and doing the same to my mother and siblings. Sometimes getting physical. I still loved him, cause I was a child and he would say he did too, and I believed so. And I thought the way he treated us was normal, and that it was the same for everyone.
He kind of did his job as I was a child, and my ignorance made it liveable. But now I've grown up, and have seen him for who he is and what he's done. Or at least for more than what I was able to see before. I'm now learning to let the image of my father go. He will go back to being a human, and I will try to keep the father part as memories.
Thanks for your music, it rarely fails to make me feel something
I’m almost beyond words... was with my mom when she died just before Christmas 2019 and it was so much like what your song describes here... I’m crying, but it’s a good cry. She was scared but curious too - thanks for reminding me that being there with her was something I still cherish.
I’m 58 and just cried for the first time... for years and years. If only I had shared that moment when my Dad left us in 2010. Tom Rosenthal you are genius
This song explains exactly how I felt when my grandpa died a month ago... We were really close, it was so difficult to see him go, but I was happy he wasn't going to suffer anymore. Thank you Tom, your music hits me every time
It sounds like you couldn't have had a better dad, and he a better son. This is a beautiful song.
I haven’t managed to make it through this song yet without crying. Thank you for sharing this song with us. Your music means so much to all of us. Incredibly moving & powerful & beautiful. Can’t wait to see you in Bristol in Jan 2022
This song is so beautiful, I’m so sorry for your loss Tom.
My father died when I was 7 or 8, I didn’t know him that well but even threw the hard times I still love him.
Thank you so much Tom for making this song, it’s so heart warming. ❤️
Every single one of Tom Rosenthal's songs makes me either cry or laugh; this music is so pure and raw and emotional.
Oh my god. This made me feel something. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm near crying. Thank you Tom♡
Thank You for sharing your heart. You told it well.
Heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. So sorry about your dad's loss.
Thank you Tom
Tom's songs are the ones I could listen to over and over all the time
Love your music all the way from Namibia
for tom for the algorithm
So beautiful
Beautiful xxx
I've already thought that some of Tom's pieces belong to poetry more than to music, but this... 2 weeks ago I read a book of a Russian poetess dedicated to loosing her mother (the book is Rana (Wound) by Oksana Vasyakina). It's intriguing that these two pieces have so much in common, both in depicting the process of coming closer to death/dying/saying last goodbyes/finding new ways of loving the dearest one and the way you put it (probably the most curious is that she uses narrative to complement her poetics, and you resort to music - you both found poetry not enough? too painful?). Fortunately I haven't lost anyone yet, but I cried from the very first line, and I am so grateful to you both, Tom and Oksana
Tom your voice is unique, you bring your voice out in a caring and loving way, these songs you sing is so calming and understanding, can listen to your voice till I fall asleep🤗😴👍
Thank you for sharing something so private. Started crying right away of course, man it's a beautiful song. And only you Tom could make me laugh in the middle of song that had me sobbing. Lost my papa over 20 years ago, wasn't there when he went, in a hospital, and the windows didn't open there. I think about that sometimes... When mama and my brother died at home we were able to open the windows for them. Thank you for this, you're truly a gift, I know your papa is proud of you 💜
The world sometimes just stops for a few minutes when I listen to your songs. Thank you for taking me to another world even just for a few minutes.
I can never comment on any of your videos just because I have no words
I’m chilled down to the bone
Beautiful song
You never cease to amaze me, Tom.
I really love you. Thank u.
I may be wrong but this was video filmed in the Australian bush? Bloody brilliant song. Just lovely.
wow! You said there are sad songs and happy songs on the new album. But already this one song is so sad and so happy at the same time. Thank you for making us feel grief and comfort at the same time!
Summer starts from you, thank you, Tom
Today I've had a warmest conversation in my mind with my dad without any words, with this song singing in my earphones, in a park where there were other dads with their kids walking around.
It's been almost 10 years that my daddy passed away, and this song helped me so much to feel his presence today.
Tom, I would love to have you as my friend. Thanks for existing and gifting us what your beautiful soul creates.
P.S. I guess this is the song I will create a music video for. Thanks for your warm reply to my email !
No matter how sad I am Tom’s songs always lightens up my soul
I’m having a very strong depressive episode (no need to worry, I will go to the hospital soon. just waiting for my coronavirus test results) and thanks to this song I feel a little bit better.
thank you, Tom.
Hope you feel better soon. Sending love
Wishing you well with your recovery
Wishing you strength
Good luck on your journey to recovery and lots of love. ❤
Been there. Hoping you get the help you need, the support you need and the right medications you need. Hang in there, it might be a rough road but it evens out eventually. 💜
My dad died a few weeks ago while I held his hand, thank you for this song
Masterpiece
Tom your music is so beautiful ❤
Your voice is so calm, it feels like all bad thoughts are already gone and nothing could waste my good mood
yup, still one of my top 3 Tom songs.
I still can't understand how music can comfort me in such a beautiful way. After a stressful and exhausting day this song is a huge present for me.
My God, I love this! Thank you 🎶💜🎶
Literally 20 seconds in and already crying.
And when I say "literally", I do mean literally.
Its amazing
Be still my heart... Thank you Tom.
This song came at an important time for me and I can't thank you enough for it
Thank you for sharing this with us Tom. Made me cry.... again.
this hits haaaaard
Wow, this song touched my heart. What beautiful poetic lines. I love the things your music makes me feel, even though it often makes me cry, or maybe because it often makes me cry.
This song is live in heart
Brazil love´s you!!!!
I hope the music-making has been as healing for you, Tom, as it seems to have been for so many people in the comments. It scares me to think that one day this song will probably mean more to me than it does now.
As always, thank you.
I haven't cried since I was 6. I'm 20 now. Just cried in front of my mom and girlfriend. Thank you.
thanks for waking up my feelings. probably one of my top 3 Tom songs ever. (please release a full album on CD/Vinyl - digital download doesn't give these beautiful songs any justice)
Tom, you make amazing music. Love from Zimbabwe
