My daughter chose to have this song and video played at her funeral 6 years ago. She was 19 when she died…cancer. Our last moments together were exactly this. Even more weirdly our family business was working with wool so we really felt that this video was made for us. I miss her so badly x
Heartbreaking
She will always be with you like my son is with me they never leave us❤❤❤❤❤
❤
A beautiful song, great band. I can't watch the video without getting emotional.
Thank you for being able to share this story. My heart is touched by simply knowing someone had the courage to be able to face such a thing and be able to look in the direction of music for strength. I've never heard this song before today but every time I hear it from now on I will remember how much it meant to somebody's child and what it means to them now, and how every song out there has a potential story just like yours associated with it
2024?
I was listening to this since i was 5 Years old. It still makes me cry
This video should’ve won something
It did. Best animated music video -UK music video awards. 2015.
I've never cried over yarn before.
+Mallory H Don't cry over spilled yarn. *sobs*
Mallory H Same wtf xD
Mallory H lol
As a knitter, I have 😁😁😁
That makes the two of us. 'Leave a little light on' makes me cry every time.
6 years later and I’m
Still crying to this video
I've actually chosen this song for my funeral. Having stage 4 cancer, I get time to choose! And this video just sums it up for me.
On a positive note ..I'm off to see them in Leeds tonight! Can't wait and I'm sooo excited. Can't wait to see you all and thank you for the music X
I really hope you enjoyed Leeds Claire. I saw them in Brum on Friday and going to Wembley on Saturday. Take care my love. Xxx
@@BoxerfanUK Thank you. We were having a great time! But a large drunken group attacked us and others, so we are feeling sore and upset.
So gutted that my family send off ended up this way.
It's time we can't get back.
Have a fab time in Wembley and take care! Xcx
@@clairefarmer1 oh Claire I’m so sorry a lovely time was spoiled for you in that way. Life and people can be so shit sometimes ☹️🥲 best wishes. Xx
Claire farmer, loved ones await your arrival,I will say a little prayer for you,so Brave,I am now alone in this world,but my heart hurts for you.
I hope you are pain free, one way or the other.
Has anyone else noticed, if they've wept seeing it, that the tears it brings aren't terribly sad tears, but tears of release? It hits as hard as a sudden gut punch, but not in a terrible way.
Omg, you are so right, I know exactly what you mean! 👍xx
100%
Such an amazing moving video

As I travel down Cancer Road I see things like this that strike such a resonant chord in my soul. I probably have six to eight months left in my as my cancer has metastasized into my liver and lungs. i have time as I lay in my hospital bed to see such beautiful creations and imagination explaining the unexplainable that touches the heart. Thank you for making my foreseeable passing a little more tolerable, and in the end, a passing of the living thread to my grandchildren.
This song still tears me up no matter how much time has passed; my mother died of small cell carcinoma. Watching the person you love more than anything else in the world, die, is probably the most heart wrenching thing you can ever go through. The video epitomises everything perfectly, the anger, denial, not wanting to let go and then finally accepting it, not because you want to but because you must.
Thank you, James, for helping me get through it.
mate ...when our mums pass away life is so strange.. empty..mum is our kin pin...bless your mum and may she RIP..
I know my mum would've liked this tune ....bye mum
regards
Cheers Bradley! Our Mothers wield power over us that we can never defeat and that is the way we like it. I propose a toast to my Mom Karen and Mrs Jamieson. Thanks for all you ladies have done. for us We never forget and never stop loving our memories. Cheers and I promise I will clean my room tomorrow morning Mom. ;O)
may she rest in peace bro..
You got a tear out of my eyes, sir.
Hope the best to u Bradley. Lost my father also.. time was ticking backwards! All the best
My sister's family just reached the part of their cancer journey symbolized by the events at 2:14. They have been fighting desperately for months now, against all hope. Now, there will be acceptance and, I hope, peace.
Possibly the most moving and poignant music video I've seen to date. Outstanding.
+Azayles A year later, and this still gets me
So true... could not have said it any better...
I first saw it in the aftermath of my mum dying, and I was in bits after watching it. I like to think I've moved on, but even now, almost 3 years later, it's a difficult but necessary watch
My teacher showed this in class as inspiration, when it ended she just kept talking about our art project like nothing happened. I mean all the students just sat there gaping like we had just travelled to sob land and were given NO TIME to unpack.
I keep watching it over and over! :'(
Probably only touches the sensitive!
Oh my god same. I had an art teacher show this to my class over 3 years ago and I still come back occasionally to watch it again (and it still makes me cry as much every time)
You have sob land to??? I thought I was alone
Check out Gary Daly "in the cloudy domain" on vimeo He is in China Crisis
oh my god. If you have ever had anyone slowly slip away from you, this will leave you in absolute floods. It's incredible.
this ALWAYS makes me cry. It reminds me of being in the hospital when they switched off my sister's life support machine... she never made it. The bit that gets me are the flowers, because she was in ICU, flowers weren't allowed. So I made a bunch of paper flowers for her, made a vase and took them in. She loved them.
I did exactly the same thing with the flowers. My sister was on life support and no flowers were allowed. I made her paper flowers and each family member wrote a message to her on a triangle of paper, and we made bunting to go round her cubicle. A week later, I was dashing across London to East Sussex to get there before they switched of the machine. 10 years and I still cry over missing her
My father was diagnosed with cancer when I was a child, I remember watching this video and it helped me get through it. I was lucky enough that he survived but he was just again re diagnosed, and he’s getting bad. I came back for help again.
"Moving On"
Please don't get me started
Looking backwards to move on.
Strong yet open-hearted,
Accept leaving when leaving's come.
God didn't see it coming,
Never said I love you, hope you knew.
Now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked
And my course is marked by stars,
[2x]
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on,
Time always unwinding,
All these dead lines in my mind.
Seeds and dreams we planted
Took for granted, didn't prove.
Walking down this road
When my pulse beats slow,
Hope to have you close at hand.
When this cycle ends,
Will it start again?
Will we recognize old friends?
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way,
On my way, on my way, on my way,
Leave a light on,
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way,
On my way, on my way, on my way.
Leave a light on,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
I cry every time I watch this beautiful video, it reminds me of my mom's beautiful mind slowly unraveling over the last 8 years, there's almost nothing left but her warm smile and a glimmer of her old self in her beautiful blue eyes... I miss you mom!
Sorry for your mum...
Thanks Bernardo!
Yess
A moving interview
I'm a hairy arsed bloke that has just been brought to tears. Excellent video and a classic from James!
Brilliant!
Very well done
Thanks for that touching sentiment, Mark fella
Good lad
2019 anyone? Still makes me cry everytime
me too
Really sad video(
2020!
Nah, 2020. Lol I watched this when I was maybe around 5 or 6 years old. and it just came into my recommendations again.
2021!
I'm not going to deny that I cry every time that I watch this
Same here.
Last month, on my father's 91st birthday, he passed away. Hours later my grandson was born. Sharing this video with people helps explain the "tangled" feelings.
I've shared this vidoe for years after findng it after a friend named James passed away suddenly. I have always had emotions over this but it means so much more now.
Knowing this song was written about Tim’s mom’s death, this video is brilliantly done. What a beautiful, powerful, visual something as simple as string can be. ❤ Kudos to all. xx
I don't think a more beautiful song/video combination will ever be created
I'm 40 years old and this makes me bawl
I see my parents in the bed
I see my two young boys in the strings
I hear every awful and wonderful thing about life and death in every swell of the song
Utterly, profoundly wonderful
Thank you James/Ainslie
There's just so much to take in here.
The person unravelling wilst the loved one tries to keep them together.
The person accepting their fate.
The person holding the last piece of thread to their cheek before letting go.
The yarn going on to form a new life. We have our time then move on, the light and time on earth is passes on to those who follow.
It's absolutely breathtaking and still moves me to tears every time I watch.
It’s the hand reaching out when they’re trying to put them back together that hits me hard and the shake of the head ❤️
My son is being born today, while others in the same hospital move on. Thank you James for a song and video which speaks more truth than a million holy books ever could.
Right on. Screw the bible.
Just wondering how you are after so many years. Wish nothing but the best
@missedmurphy Sitting here watching my four and a half year old son playing with his toy cars. His no longer a baby but now a little boy. His moving on........
@@1220b how time flies, obviously. I remember playing with my toy cars, probably a few years older, but it meant all the same. It truly means something and I'm glad it worked out. Thank you for responding to a comment 4 years ago
Both my sister and I lost our parents to cancer, two weeks apart and buried them the same day, sadly. My sister was pregnant with my niece at the time and although my Mum and Dad knew she was, neither had the chance to meet her, which is something she obviously struggles with. If there's any music video I've seen in almost 40 years that replicates the awful and yet beautiful things she's been through, this captures it perfectly in my opinion.
"Please, don't get me started!" might be the best first line of any song ever
My husband just died of cancer a little over a month ago. I've been drawn to this song ever since. It's helping me process my grief. Seeing all these other posts similar to my own tells me I'm in the right place. It sucks!! Losing someone. James is a special band like no other, reminding us to take care of each other. And that's beautiful. Love and light
I’m sorry to read about the loss of your husband. That’s so heartbreaking, i can’t imagine the pain you must be going through. Life is a beautiful but painful journey. You must be shattered.
I agree , James is an incredibly special band. I came to watch this video and remember my loved one. To read the comments and see so many of us here , United in our profound grief . And also gratitude to James for being able to express these feelings in song. It’s quite breathtaking to read how much this song has touched us all.
Sending you peace and love.
Thank you! And thank you for sharing. Love and light.
Today I lost my dad after years of being bed ridden with Parkinson’s disease, I’ve been pulling the string back for a long time sadly, the last strand of string slipped through my fingers today.
RIP dad x
Sending you ❤️ x
@@flowerpower8418 Thank you x
Sorry for your loss.
@@bee_bundle6610 Thank you for your kind words
HE FELT THE PLUCK ON HIS STRING I AM CRYING THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Exactly!!!! I was already getting emotional then the tug.
One of the most profound things I have ever seen. Heartachingly sad yet indescribably beautiful. This really captures the Mystery that we are all a part of ❤
And this's exactly what happened with us. My little sister dies after 5 years of fighting cancer, the same week that my other sister gave birth. Sobhan Allah. God is merciful.
I'm sorry for your loss, but your right. God is soo merciful and everything is a blessing too.
A cycle ends and another begins. And all praises are for Allah.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope that things go well for you
Im so sorry for your loss
Same! My best friend died a few years ago, and the moment the nurse told me she was gone, my mom called me, (She didn’t know she died) And said “Honey! I took a test! I’m pregnant!”
"Deus misericordioso" is like we say down here on Brazil. God bless you.
My mom just passed away yesterday so this song is very relatable to me.
God didn't see it coming,
Never said I love you, hope you knew.
Mom's always know.
How you feeling??
My condolence to you, your mom is now free
You can say I love you with more than words
My mom passed a few years ago. I didn’t get to say I love u either. She knows u love her though. I promise as time goes on it will get easier.
I was literally just crying over my Daddy passing last year.. October 2013... And was listening to one of our favorite songs.. Finger Eleven's One Thing... And this video popped up... My Daddy's name was James...
I'm sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss too. Lots of Love.❤️
Lost my dad 2 months ago. Leave a little light on.x
Thank you all.
Really sorry for your loss.
This ones for you pet. RIP Jo Knight. Always loved and in my thoughts forever xx
Incredible story about life and death... wonderful music that touches your soul...
Naomi Taniguchi absolutely! couldn't stop to watch!
my dad died almost 3 years ago. he showed us this music video a few years before he passed. we all thought it was amazing and such a beautiful message. a year after my dad went to be with the Lord, my niece was born. looking back on this song i can't help but feel a wave of emotions for the depth of the video. i pray anyone who struggles with grief finds peace knowing there will always be new life brought into this world.
My wife lost a child before having the ones we have now, and this video also makes me cry and remember that event. Also, helps me to going through and accept the fact. Ecellent animation and a not so bad song.
My daughter loves it, but never understands why daddy cry a little
I remember that feeling of being a young child and being fascinated by my parent's and grandparent's subtle emotions at watching certain movies and listening to certain songs. Your daughter will fully understand one day, and she will cherish this video even more. 💗
Not so bad? It's more than awesome!
Please believe me.. LIGHTNING CRASHES by the band LIVE .. Then respond to me
Music videos are really a dying art nowadays... So often we see videos that rely on big budgets and sex appeal to draw in its viewers, but it's when the visuals and music work together to create a compelling story that you get something truly special. We need more music videos that are as thoughtful as this. Ainslie Henderson is one of my favorite filmmakers, and this is why.
I couldnt have said it better myself
you hit the nail on the head with this
Totally agree with this. I think most of the time, music videos are an afterthought; just a load of formulaic lowest-common-denominator nonsense done to tick a marketing box. But this is exactly what a music video should be. It's simple but highly engaging and, as you say, it works together with the song to create a new level of detail. I love it! :-)
It doesn't matter how old this song becomes I bawl every time I watch the video 😭 such a beautiful song and message. Everyone, hold your loved ones a little closer. We never know when we won't see them again 💙
I lost my mother to cancer in 2018. Everytime I see this video I end up remembering the last 7 months of the time I spent with her. This video still brings tears to my eyes...
It's not a sad song, it's a song of hope. Reality scares people, lose the fear.
Tears are rolling down my face, I've never been so moved by a song and video before...... Absolutely beautiful x
that's something new
i've never seen such creativity in a video
the director must be so proud
As I do not know many James songs, I thought I would watch this. Now it is over and I am in floods of tears. I will listen to more James, after I recover from this one.
Listen to "Low low low" and "Laid". The themes may still be a bit disillusioned by the human condition... but at least they are up beat & funny/fun songs. Other songs on the Laid LP will make you cry, though. They make you laugh, they make you cry. Or maybe more accurately: the LET you laugh and LET you cry. James are so brilliant.
This hits a soft spot, I just woke up to my grandma dead, she was fighting cancer for nearly all her life, I saw her turn into a completely different person, I just hope she's somewhere better.
It is 2021...
You still cry just by rewatching this video
It's 2022...still watching this masterpiece.
If you don't shed a tear at 2:12 then you have a heart of stone. Absolutely beautiful video.
Definitely. That's the bit that stopped me in my tracks.
This song and video still get me so much
I shared this video today to someone who hadn't seen it but has lost a friend this week.
It helped with the grief.
This is an absolute masterpiece of a video to match a beautiful song, and everyone in the world should watch it at least once.
Thank you James and Ainslie Henderson for creating this.
i'm crying; James does it again. such perfect depiction of unravelry and letting go of a loved one who's dying - in both song and imagery - creative genius at its best. feeling the feels with this song. kudos to ainslee henderson for this artistic vision.
Wow. What an unexpected tearjerker.
This video is so emotional. I totally connect with it. 16 years ago I lost my mother. I was 6 months pregnant with her first grandchild and my first and only child. Losing my mother and then becoming a mother has totally broken me.
I hope you are feeling more mended these days. I too lost my Mum 4 years back, and whilst it was the saddest day of my life, I knew she would want me out there living life as best I can and I don't want to let her down.
I cry LITERALLY every time, it just makes me think of all the people I've lost.
me too. written for Tim's mum. Helps me get over my loss too. Thankyou James for helping me to leave a little light on in my heart... tears still come.. but at least i can laugh again...
The quivering of his lip at 1.38 gets me every time.
When I was in 3rd grade, (I’m going into junior of high school year now) me and my best friend would watch this on repeat and cry. She moved away a few years ago and we’ve since grown apart. Yet I still come back to this video and cry. I cry thinking about the good times we had. I haven’t since been able to make a friend that really was as close as we were, and coming back to this video makes me miss her a lot.
This is the video I come to when I want to think about my dad. Thank you James
It's been 2 years this month since my beautiful Mom passed on... I still think about her every day, and my son, who is only 14, misses her like crazy.
Beautiful song and video. Wish this group was more known in the USA. They don't know what their missing.
I’m not crying.
I’m having a breakdown.
Hang on in there. Life's is so hard so grab ANY happiness when you can ✌✌✌
the best animated video clip ever..
10 years on and still got an aching heart
I must say the music video is absolutely brilliant.
Please don't get me started
Looking backwards to move on.
Strong yet open-hearted,
Accept leaving when leaving's come.
God didn't see it coming,

Will it start again?

I'm on my way,
On my way, on my way, on my way.
Leave a light on,
Leave a little light on,

Simply the best music video ever!! Absolutely perfect
Watching my father and mother fade away, it is inspiring to think of the joy in someone else's life as a new life begins. Thank you to the filmmakers, and to James for the soundtrack. You make my life better on a daily basis.
Once again, Tim and the boys bring us something spectacular... WOW... This made me well up in a huge way... ok.. I cried.. LOL. Just shared this with me Mum... she is 75 and LOVES James. and loved this... my Partner and I even brought her to Denver to see James during the 'Hey Ma' tour... I think some folks do not get what the song is about... it's about Tim losing his Mum... I think many do not take away the idea that the song is about losing someone, but also about rebirth, reincarnation... I guess it's perception, and about one's spiritual base, what one believes.... I think Tim Booth's beliefs are made clear here in the vid. I believe as he does. JAMES.... Thank you for yet another great song... You once again make Manchester PROUD! Damn, I hope you tour this summer in the US.... PLEASE come to the Festival at Sandpoint!!!! (Idaho) CHEERS MATES!!!
I personally believe in the resurrection-that when we die, it's like sleep. But one day, we'll be woken up, we'll be with our loved ones again. No matter what, I feel that our beliefs are comforting, knowing that our loved ones aren't gone forever. I honestly don't know how I'd get through life if i thought that this was all there is.
Having held my Mum as she passed makes this video so hard to watch but I must. The match of music & video is unique. I always cry like a baby but the good memories that are brought back are worth every tear.
I've always loved this track but watched it today not long after losing my dad and the video really made me cry, I hope your video is true. I'd love for my dad to be reborn
A Song for his Old dear passing and Has made me appreciate my mum's still here for me n my boys Love u mum xx
Very rare to find a song with this much passion
A rare example of turning something so bleak and sad into something not only incredibly beautiful, but inspiring.
this reminds me of when my grandmother past away my world fell apart that night
*passed
Ever MonsterHigh thanks
@@groovyjuice6282 d
Everytime a family member, a friend or someone I really admire in life pass away... I come to listen this song and let myself loose in It.
This video reminds me of the time my grandma pasts away , i was only 6 y/o but i know everything about life and death even back then . I miss you grandma , hope you will wait for me on the other side
The video reminds me of the day I had to say goodbye to my mum 😭 and how my life unraveled when she left me. Love you mum 💗 see you soon xxxx
It's been a solid three years since I last clicked this video.
I'm retrieving this video from my old account's watch history and couldn't help but to get choked up in the process.
I love this song.
This is the one of the most favorite songs that I have ever heard.
Yeah i,m too😀😀😀 i cry😢😢😢
2021 anyone???
Its been years since I've listened to this song❤
Had a high risk pregnancy, a premature baby boy & he's been in hospital for months. Tough tough time. This is powerful. Thanks. - A James fan who only found this song yesterday.
Hope you have a healthy toddler at this time!
Rest in peace my mum x love you xxx
It’s hard to read the comments of many people that in all probability are no longer with us.
I hope you are happy and pain free wherever you are now.
Safe travels.
As my dear cousin lies in ICU fighting Covid. This song resonates with the struggle his family and the medical staff are having, keeping him with us. Come on Chris. Beat this. Xx Stay safe everyone.
What a wonderfully distinct and precious depiction of life and death. I rarely see talent and meaning this raw, needless to say, it made me cry every time I watched.
はじめまして。
この曲をMVを作ってくれて、ありがとうございます😊
この曲を初めて聴いたとき、とても仲の良かった父が急逝し毎日泣いていました。このMVも号泣しながら何度も何度も見ました。
早いもので、あれから6年が経ち
久しぶりにまたこのMVを見てみたくなって訪れました。
新たな場所で、新たな生命として父が幸福であるように娘である私は、「父の幸福責任者」として父の健康と幸福を祈り続けます。
最後に、温かな勇気が出るような曲とMVを創りだしてくれて、心から感謝しています。ジェイムスの皆さま、ありがとうございます💓
made me cry..
My too
It's been 6 years since I Watched this..and I'm still crying
Possibly the most beautiful song and video ever.
Saw James on the CBS morning show. Spiritual music and y'all have a new fan. Totally beautiful music touched my soul. This song made me cry. Be blessed!
Wow, have fun discovering about 20 years 15 albums of amazing music! James are amazing musicians! Check out Tim Booth's (vocalist and songwriter) three solo projects. You won't be disappointed!
My best friend who was a brother to me. We loved each other unconditionally truly. Died a few months back. He was a heroin addict that couldn't find his way out. I've been clean for a year. This song and video reminds me of him so much. He was an addict but in control enough that he never purposely hurt someone to support his habit. This song makes me feel as though I'll meet him again. I hope I do. I love and miss you Will.
No amount of words can describe how epic this track (and video) is.
I always come back to this and it always makes me cry, watch the end of the living room sessions one - Tim's mouth quivering at the end...he felt that
Literally just saw this now, and I’ve never connected with a song more than this one, I lost my dad a few years back and I remember sitting with him in the hospital- this is really hard for me to watch sometimes but- it’s such a good song
@James
Not sure if this video was meant to symbolize something one of y’all went through…but it literally tells the story of me going through the birth of my daughter and simultaneous lose of my mother 3 yrs ago. I just wanted to say Thank You
I first saw/heard this video in Vimeo. It brought me here to download to my favorites. I love James and think they're underrated. The video is creative. Kudos to Henderson!
When the hand reaches out and the little shake of the head m, that touched me ❤️
Still makes me cry till this day
Still can't watch this without crying.
song of the decade and possibly the best james song ever. it gets better every time i hear it
