David wrote this song for his beloved brother Adam while his was battling brain cancer... he went on Idol 3 weeks after he passed ... dedicated it to him and gave all proceeds to find a cure for this horrendous disease... heart tugging and beautiful.
Damn David, you can still bring tears to my eyes when I see you do this gutsy performance. Beautiful tribute, I know Adam is smiling down on you, thinking you've done great brother!
No matter how many times I watch this, it still gives me the goosies ...I absolutely Love David Cook and this is one of my all-time favorite performances ever on Idol ...
When this song came out I lost my 11 year old rottweiller, he was my bestfriend and was an amazing dog, for a breed with such a bad reputation, he was very kind and empathic, playfull when younger and a fighter when sick, the day he died he couldn't stand up even if he tried as I went to say hello just before leaving to school. A few hours later I got a call from home saying he died, he fought to the very end and said goodbye in his own way. I went back home and carried him to the vet who took him to cremate. Everytime I listen to this song I remember him.
This almost made me cry. I love David. He's so strong for being able to get up and perform that song on stage. It was such a great performance btw. His vocals were amazing and you could just feel the emotion. And the tears in his eyes at the end ... so touching. RIP Adam Cook
American idol was over and I'm still here .. just the most heartbreaking performance in this show. I can clearly see the tears in his eyes at the end of his song 💔
All these years later and I just want to hold him in my arms and cry with him. I remember the night he sang this and the tears were rolling down my face even when the show was over.
You guys should check out when David sang his song "Lie" on the Carrie Underwood special. It left me speechless, his voice is amazing!! Just UA-cam David Cook Lie live and it should pop up.
I remember this !!it was so powerful!!wow!he didn't sell out!like witch carrie underwood! I have much respect!for him,this song hits home!losing my dad,my dog😥💔i love david cook!😊
I can still the pain in this performance!!! "I know he's living in hell every single day" What a phrase to show the pain we was seeing in his brother!! May god continue healing the pain in him and his family's heart "Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry" Always so emotional!!
I heard this song for the first time when my best friend, my rottweiler died after 11 years of friendship, everytime I heard it I remember him. This happened 8 years ago.
This SONG breaks my heart, I know his brother is looking down on him proud! David's my second favorite AI winner after Kelly! And this performance IMHO was one of the best on the show!
Only 19.916 viewers WTF? Touching. powerfull, beautiful , great voice, great music, great emotion. Especally for those who had some who died from caceer......
This is such a beautiful song! Everytime i hear it i can't help but cry! :( David Cook is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best AI winners ever! No question about it! Shows that his music stands the test of time if 2 years on people are still watching this video and listening to this gorgeous song! His albums are amazing and david in general is amazing!! He needs to get his behind to scotland! The UK love you too David!
this goes out to my soccer coach jay...who died today at 3:30! He was the best soccer coach ever...please even though u don't know him...pray for him and his family...he has 2 kids who won't grow up with a dad...just take a second to pray towards him and his family...thx!!!! I LOVE U JAY!!
I think about my dog when I hear this song a little boy dropped him and ever since he was acting different I think he had fluid in his head like me and I knew he was living in hell everyday but when my nephew threw him against the freezer and when the vet guy said there was nothing he could do I knew it was time for him to get put down couldn't let him go through more pain it broke my heart watching him trying to get up
i remember there was a versino of this song back in season 7, where he cried on stage, it was on youtube just last year, what happened? someone deleted it?
2024 and still chills!
WOW 2023 and STILL watching this amazing performance. I absolutely love what David Cook has done with his career.

There really aren't enough words to describe this performance...
Anyone else get teary eyed when his voice breaks on the last word "cry"?
Damn David, you can still bring tears to my eyes when I see you do this gutsy performance. Beautiful tribute, I know Adam is smiling down on you, thinking you've done great brother!

I was shocked into silence when I heard him sing this. Simply amazing. Loved him since the audition
I know the pain of losing a loved one to that awful disease. This song hits hard.
best idol winner..ever!
totally agree
Winner yes but not who was on it
American idol was over and I'm still here .. just the most heartbreaking performance in this show. I can clearly see the tears in his eyes at the end of his song 💔
I think this is his most popular song. It's my favorite by him and I, unfortunately, know how he feels about his brother
light on was my favorite
I'm sorry Shay. This song is beautiful and, when you know the story of Adam Cook, infinitely more tragic.
Still love you today David! Clara-from-ohio
I voted so many times for him. My boy!
I forgot how beautiful that song was.
My grandfather is battling cancer and this song hits home when I hear it. I just want to take away his pain, but it's just not possible.
All these years later and I just want to hold him in my arms and cry with him. I remember the night he sang this and the tears were rolling down my face even when the show was over.
I teared when he sang the "I'm permanent" really high near the end, i could feel all his pain and raw emotion, and i could relate to it ='(
I love this song!!! Makes me cry!!!
What a beautiful song to write for his brother who is looking down and smiling!!!
he is such an amazing singer and i love his graspy voice.
This performances was incredible. I thought it was the best performance of the night.
David wrote and sang this on AI Finale to his brother Adam... very personal... breath taking then,,and STILL
Chills down my spine... So much heart and emotion went into the lyrics of this song.
Still love him❤
