Jon Mclaughlin's brother, Jeff Mclaughlin (if I remember right), was my piano teacher back at my high school. One of the most kind hearted, patient, and skilled instructors I've ever had. He was also such a talented musician.
My Choir teacher in high school was Ms. McLaughlin... and I thought she was related... found out she wasn't. Total let down :( hahaha You were super lucky!
"hates the sound that goodbyes make, she prays one day she'll find someone to need her. she swears that there's no difference between the lies and compliments. it's all the same if everybody leaves her." that gave me chills, literally describes how i feel all. the. time. :P
I never heard of him until right now (12 Feb 24( and now I'm curious to hear what you do because when I was musician-y ! (a lifetime ago it feels like) that was my genre kinda. Alternative indie piano driven. ❤👋🏻🎶🎹
Would LOVE to go back to the time that this song came out - just for a month. Savor each moment, and take advantage of how great life was. This brings me back there - just for a few moments…
Recently turned 17, listening to this song again in the morning while I'm getting ready for school made me sort of emotional. The lyrics in this song, from the first moment I heard it, really just expressed almost everything I feel. To hear this feelings sung and acknowledged by a male figure, makes me hopeful and, to be honest, a boost up on my self-esteem. Thank you John McLaughlin
I believe you have said everything I feel even when you are older things fall apart in a when you have been married for a lot of years . Then you find yourself starting a whole new life to me it's a lot harder to start all over. 😏🤔 💛
This song reminds me of me and my pregnancy. I'm only fifteen and I gave birth to twins that were born at 25 weeks of gestation on the 4th of Auggust this year, and sadly passed away, 3 hours after they were born. I kept listening to this song while I was pregnant.. It sure was a BEAUTIFUL disaster but what happened was just plain horrible.. May peace be with you all. amazing song!
I love and hate how music can tell the story of your life. When words just wont do, a song will come along and break you open, leaving your soul to bare itself with all of its scars, both new and old. Its powerful. Its scary. Its everything you never wished for and yet its exactly what you need to hear.
I listened to Jon Mclaughlin for the first time when he sang "So Close" for the soundtrack of the movie Disney Enchanted, and the song was absolutely beautiful, my favourite song of all time. I started to find some masterpiece from him, and this is the One.
This video means so much to me. I have listened to it so many times and it keeps me holding on. I have been treated terribly by so many guys and everyone keeps leaving me. This song gives me hope. And it makes me think there are more great guys like him out there
Everyone is saying "this was written for me"..and i feel the same :) so this just shows how great of an artist jon is if he can write a song that relates to millions of girls. perfect song, I'm crying
the nostalgia I get from this song is mind-boggling. I grew up hearing this genre of music almost ALL the time. Why can't we just rewind by like, 14 years and be kids again??😭
I still cry whenever I hear this song just like I did 13 years ago when I was 16..it’s very underrated …this is the most relatable song that I’ve ever heard ; I still have the very same feelings still lost and tired…love u John💕
Every lyric of this song relates to me...never accepting a compliment, always getting it wrong....wanting to change everything. I wish i could see myself as beautiful, but its so hard.
...I don't want to talk about how much this song describes me... I just want to say that I always turn it up, sing along, get it stuck in my head, and try to let it reach my heart. This is one of the beautiful songs that helps me get through some days.
This song helped me through my teen years. It gave me the strength to move away from my situation and into a better one. Now i'm 25, and happily married, :).
His voice and songs are AMAZING and that's all that matters!One of few true talented artists that doesn't use gimmicks and succeeds in making beautiful and most important,QUALITY music.Keep it up, Jon!
I remember this song from years ago. I was head over heels for this girl, and she swore by this song. She's married and happy now.. but to me, she'll always be as beautiful as the first day I ever saw her.
I saw him amble his way through notes of various kinds in Indianapolis (Super Bowl festivities). Even during the chilling winds, McLaughlin was a great one. I discovered him accidentally, just passing through. Since then, I've been a fan of his works. Hats off~!
I thought of this song out of the blue today, and I just had to hear it again. Such a sad, but lovely song. I bought this wonderful CD years ago. Thanks Jon!❤
She loves her mama's lemonade And hates the sound that goodbye's make She prays one day she'll find someone to need her She swears that there's no difference Between the lies and compliments It's all the same if everybody leaves her And every magazine tells her she's not good enough The pictures that she sees make her cry She would change everything, everything, just ask her Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster She just needs someone to take her home She's given boys what they want Tries to act so nonchalant Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction She never stays the same for long Assuming that she'll get it wrong Perfect only in her imperfection She's not a drama queen She doesn't want to feel this way Only 17 but tired, yeah She would change everything for happy ever after Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster She just needs someone to take her home 'Cause she's just the way she is But no one's told her that's okay She would change everything, everything, just ask her Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster She would change everything for happy ever after Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster She just needs someone to take her home She just needs someone to take her home
We don't look for old songs. We search for memories. ❤
I'm stealing this!!!

Same, I'm getting old, but the sliver of youth left in me is in the music.

kelly bradberry don’t be rude
It's really hard not to like this song, you can feel it in your bones when you hear it. Such emotion in his voice.
He’s just good looking
i dont understand how songs like this aren't certified by now..
Jon McLaughlin needs more recognition!! I hope to see and hear of him more often in the future.
Thank you kihyun💕
2011, and this song is still as beautiful as it ever was.

"hates the sound that goodbyes make, she prays one day she'll find someone to need her. she swears that there's no difference between the lies and compliments. it's all the same if everybody leaves her."
that gave me chills, literally describes how i feel all. the. time. :P
I'm here because Monsta X's Kihyun recommended this song for Monbebe. I see why our main vocalist recommended it...it's beautiful.
Jon Mclaughlin rocks, he's always been a big inspiration to the piano-driven indie rock we write.
I never heard of him until right now (12 Feb 24( and now I'm curious to hear what you do because when I was musician-y ! (a lifetime ago it feels like) that was my genre kinda. Alternative indie piano driven. ❤👋🏻🎶🎹
I’m here because of Kihyun, thank you for recommending us this beautiful song♥️♥️
I was teaching English to Mexican high school kids in 2009. I chose this song for the class. This is the perfect message for them.
You have a beautiful face Mr. Jon McLaughlin!!! 💗💗💗
Would LOVE to go back to the time that this song came out - just for a month. Savor each moment, and take advantage of how great life was. This brings me back there - just for a few moments…
GOD said that you're the most beautiful thing that I have created.

2020 & still a gem, this song.
You are beautiful just the way God made you. You are one of a kind
Thank you Kihyun i love this song
I was 17 and heartbroken when i discovered this song, I am 25 now and I've been in love with it since. ❤
*AFTER*#Hessa❤🌍
Bought this CD when I was in Afghanistan in 2008 and it hit hard
This song just made me cry
I just watch The Enchanted and discover So close by Joh McLaughlin, and now Im fan and its sad that I dicover him too late.
This song literally *spoke* to the 13 year old me who had all sorts of self-esteem issues. I've shed tears to this song. Sheesh. I was a wimp.
❤❤❤❤ from Sydney to you
I relate to this song so much. My eyes are watering.
I will never understand why this doesn't have more views..
Wow this is something I never even realized I really needed to hear. Thank you for leaving this comment here. It means so much to me 💚
I believe you have said everything I feel even when you are older things fall apart in a when you have been married for a lot of years . Then you find yourself starting a whole new life to me it's a lot harder to start all over. 😏🤔 💛
.. this is so damn true.
Me too I first heard this song when I was 17 n now I’m 30 but I’m still listening this song.
Well stated.
I always come back to listen to this song
Thank you kihyun 👍♥️

In every song you love, there is always something about you that time will never scratch.
yoo kihyun i love you💕
all girls deserve a guy to treat them like gold and someone to treat them as a human being and be loved all equal
This song has a beautiful message. You are enough, no one needs to change or prove anything to anyone.
Used to love this song. It's so melodic. A shame that our culture produces more sobby songs than happy ones.
I really really love this song. Jon Mclaughlin is such an amazing artist. I think almost everyone at one point in their lives has felt like this song.
your be is asking me out ask him to stop
this song makes me cry
Still watching in 2019. Who else does?
Love this song so much. And Jon ❤
the nostalgia I get from this song is mind-boggling. I grew up hearing this genre of music almost ALL the time. Why can't we just rewind by like, 14 years and be kids again??😭
Heard this song on Pandora one day and started crying! Love this song!
ah yes, another song from the era of the best nostalgic songs 💝
how can you be soo hot and sing at the same time?!!?
Isn't it tho! And WRITE this song!🙄
I'm rewatching Ghost Whisperer, recognised his voice right away. I can't believe I haven't heard this one.
I still cry whenever I hear this song just like I did 13 years ago when I was 16..it’s very underrated …this is the most relatable song that I’ve ever heard ; I still have the very same feelings still lost and tired…love u John💕
A great wake up song!
I love this song so much. Its so sad and melodic and beautiful all at the same time it just makes me cry. It describes me sooo well.

Why is this guy not HUGELY famous?This video is perfect and so is the music and lyrics!!!!! Well done Jon!
Oh yes....what a song. This man can definitely sing and is amazing live too. Beautiful
Every lyric of this song relates to me...never accepting a compliment, always getting it wrong....wanting to change everything. I wish i could see myself as beautiful, but its so hard.
For years and years to come, I thought there wasn't a song that could describe me. When I first heard this, I burst into tears. I was proven wrong.
...I don't want to talk about how much this song describes me...
I just want to say that I always turn it up, sing along, get it stuck in my head, and try to let it reach my heart.
This is one of the beautiful songs that helps me get through some days.

You're really great Jon. I hope you sing more songs like this. I love hearing your voice. ❤
i'm a big fan, ever since listening to So Close some 10 years ago.
I remember this song from years ago. I was head over heels for this girl, and she swore by this song. She's married and happy now.. but to me, she'll always be as beautiful as the first day I ever saw her.
+Lorelei Beach Well, thank you, same to you if you haven't already. :)

yo llegue a esta canción gracias al libro y de verdad creo que es perfecta para el si hacen una película me encantaría que esta canción este en ella
I saw him amble his way through notes of various kinds in Indianapolis (Super Bowl festivities). Even during the chilling winds, McLaughlin was a great one. I discovered him accidentally, just passing through. Since then, I've been a fan of his works. Hats off~!
Had no idea this song existed, thank you pandora ❤️
over ten years and this song still breaks you in every of its lines.
Your voice is magic. your eyes, too.
I thought of this song out of the blue today, and I just had to hear it again. Such a sad, but lovely song. I bought this wonderful CD years ago. Thanks Jon!❤
She loves her mama's lemonade
And hates the sound that goodbye's make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
She swears that there's no difference
Between the lies and compliments
It's all the same if everybody leaves her
And every magazine tells her she's not good enough
The pictures that she sees make her cry
She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She's given boys what they want
Tries to act so nonchalant
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction
She never stays the same for long
Assuming that she'll get it wrong
Perfect only in her imperfection
She's not a drama queen
She doesn't want to feel this way
Only 17 but tired, yeah
She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
'Cause she's just the way she is
But no one's told her that's okay
She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster
She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She just needs someone to take her home
This song is a gem. 😭
"It's all the same if everybody leaves her"... 🎵
María Belén Desmonts ure my bonita disaster
@@fidelcastrosolis5108 Who are you? 😱
This man need s'more recognition, I mean, he doesn't even have a pandora account 0-0 he is so perfect
This song is for every sad girl, you're beautiful.
+Spencer Elrond Rivendell that is so sweet, as an "old" mom that is really all we want from our child, to think that we are beautiful no matter what.
Chelsea Co
