I watched and video i listened words the song
And I cry .I had my mom passed away and 2 weeks I had stroke. I now I cant talk.in 3 years and still cant talk but I listen and the song really hit me big time. I ❤
Very few songs/music videos make me tear up, this is one of them...
Your mom and dad would be proud of you. Keeping reaching for the light xo
God I miss my dad. I have SO MANY regrets. This song says it so much.
Sounds like a number one hit tune alright
See you Friday Night at Fitzgerald's. Can't wait. Michael for Mayor !!! ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 ... this is an amazing song.
Living legend. One of the benst songwriters of my generation. He stands in line with Springsteen, Moreland, Fallon, Isbell. God bless you, Michael. Best wishes from a german fan.
He is my great uncle dude 😂
How can there possibly be a single thumbs down for this song? Amazing Song with so much Genuine Emotion
Mike, one of the greatest songs ever. Great songs make you feel something. Thanks, and peace be with you and your dad.
He's fantastic. Of course no one knows about him.
Just beautiful Micheal, so tender and sweet, remember when my father passed so young at 55. It is one of the most profound of all human experiences to put to rest our parents, and to remain in their absence, to be still in their Love
I recall Michael saying something about a proverb "He could have been a better father but I could have been a better son."
Michael, Chris and I just finished the video and all we could do is look at each other, tears in both our eyes for the pain we know you went through as we also have shared the same pain having lost both of our parents. Then we smiled at each other knowing the tenderness of every one of the notes you sang was for no one except your dad and we were in awe with everyone who is fortunate enough to know you and the brilliance with which you CREATE. The best word that comes to our minds is; SLA'INTE which means so much more than Cheers, it literally mean"GOOD HEALTH TO YOU, BODY AND SOUL). We love you Brother!!!!!!!
I'm so glad to have heard and read this, just when I needed to. When it hurts the most. Slainte.
Best music video ever and had me balling 30 seconds in
Great song, great sentiment. Why can't we speak to the living with all the truth of a song? Before they die. Oh well I've enjoyed my relationship with my father and understand why he did what he did. His father's advice to him "The best thing you can do for your family is go to work." I am elated that I was taught to think for myself. Work is work, jobs are jobs, careers are careers. Though I have avoided responsibility all my life. (and trudged through a few a life's little traps) And that has made all the difference. I wouldn't change a thing. Life is grand . . . and it is suffering. Make of that what you will. = )
I came across you at 920 West Surf back in 91. Since then I have listened to everything I could find that you put out. Thank you for sharing the gift that you have. Beautiful video.
My Dad passed in late August. My brother and I took care of him for over 9 years after he had a pulmonary embolism and nearly died. My brother was especially devastated since he did more of the caregiving. I've grieved some but not like I want to. Mom died 12 years ago and I still haven't really gotten over that. This song and video hit home more than I can even explain. I'm not surprised Michael would write something this profound, I've been a fan since I heard the brilliant tune Just West of Eden in 1993. Thank you for sharing your heart and your own grief with us through your art. You're a brilliant artist who deserved so much more than you ever got. RIP Billy D Taylor, August 24, 2018.
Sorry for your loss Tim.....Peace..
@@mcd2345 Thanks, and thank you for the music you make.
I heard this beautiful song for the first time today, on The Bob Cesca Show. Amazing!
So beautiful. Each word resonated. I lost both my parents and yes, finding it hard too. Thank you.
wonderful, and meaningful for me and my brothers. thank you!
Song makes me cry every time.😂
Powerful, poignant, and profound. A deep truth shared. In other words, typical McDermott song, a masterpiece.
This song touches me. I never related to my dad. And now I have a 21 year old son and 18 year old daughter and I definitely get it. It's so hard to be a dad. I'm lucky my son wants to do things like camping and hiking with me.
Thank you. This song spoke to me deeply.
I Love this song brings me such great memories of my daddy.
My dad always watched me leave, too. This song touches me deeply. Thanks, Michael, now I’m crying!
This floors me. I miss my dad so much
I live in Gernika (Basque country). in the north part of Spain.
I say it, because it,s shameful, and a FUCKI.. SHIT, that nobody knows Michael,s music.
When i put to my friends or other people, one of your songs, doesn,t matter which one.......
The reaction is ALWAYS the same.
they ask me, ......who is singing?,.....it sounds really good..... pasional words, .........
and my answer always the same too :
MICHAEL MCDERMOTT, " A guy that believes and feels, what he writes,plays and sings"
THANKS , THANKS FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
Aldo.
(sorry for my english..... i dont speak it very well..)
Thank you ....I'm coming to Spain in Jan of 2018. Hope to see you somewhere!!
Doesnt matter where you play in spain,,,,,,i,ll go!!
Michael, first time seeing this. It's beautiful. Really. Thank you.
What a beautiful song brought tears to my heart thinking of my daddy, thank you for your song.
I was going to embark on a journey to America when my father died in a car accident 94 only to be seen as a sign not to go of which I didn't go. I also wrote a song about my father. But anyhow my mother passed now only 9 months now but this song hits it home for me for I still finding it hard to let go. But Michael just as you've been to the edge to not go through for as i still fighting my demons of despair for the curses in my life & family. Just as I chatted with you some years ago in Myspace you said you would have a beer with me hopefully oneday in some bar. I wait in hope that one day you come to Australia & perform for I can definetly say you got one big fan right here in Melbourne Australia.
Thanks Rob and sorry about your mother......hope to make it down under someday.
I was to see him at the Acorn a few months back, ended up taking my son to see Shawn Mullins. What a great song. It is etched in my mind and I listen to it every day.
Ian Macfarlane bad decision :-)
Mr. Mc Dermott your Album bring me up in Tears. I love your Lyrics and Arrangements very much. I wish you lots of Luck !!!
I am very impressed.
So incredibly raw and brilliant.
Oh my. What a song. I know exactly how this feels.
Mike,
Beautiful song
Bravo
Non esistono poesie o parole che potrei usare in modo migliore per descrivere ciò che provavo e provo per mio papà di questa canzone di Michael. Ogni volta rivivo la mia vita in queste immagini. Grande artista.
Words so true and beautifully sang Michael xxx
I've watched this video over 2 dozen times and it just wipes me out each time. This guy, Michael McDermott, is a frigging genius. After all these years, I'll never understand how all these beautiful songs keep coming out of him.
I was bragging on you with a friend and the trail of live videos led to this one. Trying not to let the tear roll or lip quiver, but fuck it... it did. This song , this story , this emotion is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing you and Heather play again real soon. Rock on, MD
Micheal, thank you for your truth in your songwriting as always.
Beautifully written. Listened and wept on Father's Day
One of the best songs ever. Fantastic! See you in Sweden
So touching I love it! 😥😇❤
I lost my Dad a couple years ago and this song touched my heart like so many other songs that Michael has created for us. Moving, soulful, vulnerable, emotional....thank you for continuing to provide such great music and sharing with all of us.
Great song Michael! One of your masterpieces! Really touching! A big hug!
Michael, your songs have always been inspiring to me ever since I bought Gethsamane in 1993. Your writing has always hit me so much harder than anything written by Bruce Springsteen or Bernie Taupin. Your latest album stays on repeat at my house, car, and at work. You are truly gifted. All of your albums from 620 W. Surf through Willow Springs are very cherished by me.
Sincerely,
Jeff

Me too!
magnificent!
Finally watched this after over a year of the album being out. I avoided it not because I didn't think I'd like the video, I knew it would be great. But the song alone makes me tear up every time...sure enough lol. So beautiful tho. Love ya Michael
Thank you for sharing you heart, your memories and your love for your Dad. This is so beautiful. An honor to watch and hear.
Beautiful ...tender, and sorrowful reflection Michael.
A life well played as a Fathers Gift to A Loving Son..... Stunning depth inside the life of a song...surely meant to last!
Thank you for sharing.....May all be well with your way.....
Love to you my brother!
Song of the year!
Very well Done Michael...so special having all those photos to blend in with your lyrics. I hope to do as well with our heartfelt song written by Bohemian Bliss called Dear Mom. Thumbs up brother.
man. this hits home. love it
Beautiful.
I fell in love with your music in the '90s. I have to admit, I kinda lost touch with you for quite awhile. Just stumbled upon this, and was reminded of what good soulful songwriting is. Sorry for your pain, but happy to see you are still writing powerful and beautiful music.
Pure genius
thank you, for my inspiring teardrops when I first listened to your amazing poem.
He looks like a clone of his father...nice looking men. I’m sure his father is proud of him, as he stands in the great cloud of witnesses.
This is wonderful.
Awesome Derm. Your so blessed as a song writer. Also, very lucky to have such great home videos. This song and video reminds me how lucky I was to know your Dad.
speechless
just love this song
GRACIAS,MUCHAS GRACIAS...... y en mayusculas por todas, y cada una de tus canciones.
Drunk again listening to this song but at least I'm employed
Can you say grammys?
He mumbles like springsteen. can't understand a word he's signing.
This is the first time I've listened to your music, i like the sentiment for your father and the poignancy of your verse for his loss. And to be be honest, i like your name.
