Great job Billy and Home Free. Thanks for doing this Home Free. I loved it when it came out and like you said it meant something else then (because we were younger) now it has a new meaning to me or because we are older we look at it differently Live hanging out with you and Austin today.
Thank you so much, Billy and Home Free. I love my guys, they're extremely talented. God has really blessed them; you Billy are just as extraordinary. What a blessing y'all are. Love y'all in Christ Jesus! 💜💚
Thank you so much for the love and support y’all! And thank you to Billy for allowing us this chance to share such an important message with him. Please, if you’re down and out, talk to someone. Take a long walk, breathe, and remember you are not alone. No matter what it feels like- it WILL get better. 🙏🏼
When a celebrity takes a minute to acknowledge a fan,it makes the fan feel so thrilled,I think you need an Ottawa,ont Canada fanclub,and I'm just the woman to do it btw
Billy Gilman saved my life. My whole childhood was filled with abuse and feeling so alone, but I always had his music. I remember hiding under my blankets with my Walkman, it was the only time i felt safe. Thank you so much for just existing and making your music ❤
I know u didn’t post this recently, looks like it’s been a year, but whatever you endured when you were younger I’m so sorry you had to go through that, feeling safe under a blanket is no way to live! I hope your life is full of LOVE and ☮️ and I hope you accomplish your dreams!!!! God bless you!!!!
I've never had a comment hit me quite like this. My mother is an angel, but I grew up with separated parents, barely knew my dad. I had a pretty great childhood (inside the home), but I had a large amount of mental turmoil. A lot of bullying at school, which is why now, I don't let people get close and people say I'm "scary". I built a wall and an image of "don't F with me". I have serious anxiety and anger issues (military PTSD certainly doesn't help, but that's another story). But I also had Billy's music to help me. I used to sing this one to myself at school. I'd listen to this album on my walkman while I lay down in bed at night with my eyes closed. Imagining what the world would be like if every kid took this song to heart. My heart hurts for what you had to endure and I pray for your healing. No child should ever have to go through that. Just know that you are loved.
As someone who struggles daily with depression, this hits home so hard. It is good to know that I am not alone and that I am worth it. Especially on days where depression tells me I am not. Thank to Home Free and Billy for bringing this to the world.
I'm not a religious person, so I'm not going to tell you "God loves you". I hope I'll be far more practical. Please seek help from a medical professional. Like you, I battled depression. I finally found the courage to speak with my doctor about it. First, he didn't look at me like I was weird, or that there was something "wrong" with me. Second, he put me on medication that has helped me immensely. There are days when it's still a struggle, but it's better. He also referred me to a counselor who's been helping me as well. In addition, there are other things you can do to make yourself feel better. Somehow, find the energy to get up and get out and go for a walk. Somehow, find the energy to get up and put on some make-up and put on some clothes you really like. Best of all, I get two new friends--two little puppies. I have to take care of them now. I have to get up and take them outside to go potty, I have to take them for a walk, I have to train them, I have to feed them and make sure they have water. They depend on me and I can't let them down. Getting an pet may not be right for everyone, but it has helped me a lot. Having a hairy little puppy sitting on your lap and reaching up to lick your face can really help some people. And I hope that when groups like Home Free (that have such a huge following) tackle this issue, it will help people who need it to seek help and for those not suffering from depression to recognize that a person who is depressed isn't "crazy", "mentally ill", or of lesser intellectual capacity.
I know how it is. But I have come to the point that I know my feeling are not the truth. It feels bad, but it IS not bad. Try to remember that. It will pass. 🙏🏼❤️
I've been taking medicine for depression for many years. It's not a cure-all, obviously, but it does help. Life has been difficult since I lost my job due to the pandemic. Most of the time, I just don't want to get out of bed in the morning. I haven't been suicidal, though, since I was a teenager, and I know that things have been a lot worse. Just know you don't have it the worst in life, just as I don't.
Thank you so much to Home Free and Billy Gilman, as well as the amazing production team, who allowed me to portray this role to help spread awareness around such an important subject. As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, I encourage everyone to reach out to their loved ones and tell them exactly how much they matter. For those who have already lost someone due to suicide, I mourn with you. May we do our best to live thoughtfully as they look down upon us. If anyone needs to talk, I am here for you.
This song hits home . On April 30, 2015 my husband committed suicide . He left behind 11 yo twin boys. It’s been 6 years now and you never get over the loss. The pain he had when he was alive doesn’t go away because our boys and I carry it with us now. Austin, a few months after his death I took my boys to your concert and it was great to see them smile. Thank you for bringing joy to my boys at a time when they needed it the most.

So huge major nostalgia seeing Billy redo his iconic song when he was a kid and using it as a platform to spread awareness on mental health! Great for him GO BILLY!! 🙏🏻💯🎶🎙
Hey Billy Gilman i still loved your voice especially when you came out first on country music and i love your voice now and i believe who you love shouldn’t matter to your fans as long as your happy
Hello my dear fan,thank you for commenting on my partnership UA-cam account,I Wanna quickly use this opportunity to appreciate your support and concern towards my career, I really hope we could talk more better on my personal gmail account,stay safe and hope to hear from you soon.
The kid version was great, the grown up version is phenomenal! BG has done what few child singers have been able to do. I'm so happy for it, too! I was a kid when this came out originally and was excited to see him on The Voice after country music did what bigots do best. We all need some BG in our lives 💜

😭😭😭😭😭 wow that really struck a cord with me tonight listening to this. I am 33 I was born with a disability, all throughout my life I've had multiple of operations then at the age of 18 I got diagnosed with cancer an I had it for 3 years so I had it 3 times. Then at the age of 25 I had brain surgery. An at the age of 32 I had skin cancer. So I know what struggling is all about but one thing is for certain I never gave up I kept on fighting.
Wow, just WOW!! What a powerful message... sometimes it's simply a stranger smiling at me when I'm having a bad day that makes it better. I try to always smile and make eye contact with people I'm walking past... if I've helped one person, my job is complete!
I really want you to know that this song touched my heart because I used to feel same way but the song made me think that I am special I used to feel down but now I’m feeling better after hearing this song love Annette 💕💜🥰
You fought one physical war now you fight a mental/ emotional one. An hour at a time, a step forward, and keep coming, there are others out there, reach out,
Claudia siebert that's one statement that I wish could be true but I really don't think will happen. I can totally relate with Thomas Cole because I too have been there and struggle with PTSD on a daily basis. While I don't think those scars ever heal but we just try and find ways to help get through the struggles. I've known people who take to the bottle and pills and whatever drugs they find helps with their demons. The VA for me has done more damage than good with my PTSD with all the meds they would throw at me and the rushed therapy sessions you don't ever seem to get to the root what caused the PTSD in the first place.
I didn’t know this Billy guy...his voice gave me goosebumps since the very first notes! I love how Home Free make room for other artists within their range of activity and how they deal with life issues. Bravo to all of you for you all-round commitment

Beautiful collaboration on a beautiful song. Remember when this first came out. Loved it then and love it even more now. Very powerful song. Keep up the wonderful work Billy Gilman and Home Free
Thanks for your lovely comments and encouragement towards my work . I promise to bring you all the best at all time 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍.feel free to drop a message on my email ..........Billygilman303@gmail.com
I work in a behavioral health clinic and I try to help everyday. I'm so glad Billy Gilman and Home Free are helping to shed light on a growing national problem with our society. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much to Billy Gilman and Home Free or this song and message! I lost my daughter to suicide so I understand how important it is to get the message out there that there is help and love and compassion out there for all of us. My daughter chose a very permanent solution for a very temporary problem, I had no idea that she was at such a low point in her life. She wasn't alone and had a whole family who loved her dearly but in spite of that she still felt alone. Please if you feel like you can't go on please seek out help and just try that before ending your life, it might just change you life for the better. There really is many people out there who do care a whole lot so just know that you are never alone. ♥
Sending virtual hugs to everyone who's ever been struggling with mental health, you're never alone, at least the music connects us 💪🏻❤🎼 thank you for bringing this topic up
Billy and Homefree covered this very heavy, very emotional subject beautifully. A heart wrenching song done to perfection. The video is inspiring and emotional. And if 1 person sees this and it helps them and inspires them to seek help. That is important. I hope whoever sees this and needs help will seek it out. Talk to someone. Realize you are worthy. You are not alone. You are loved. You are a gift. Thank you Billy and Homefree for making a difference.❤
I remember when Billy had this out when he was a child. It was amazing then. Home Free is my favorite group and this collaboration just added to it. Beautiful all around guys. Thank you for redoing this song. It should never be forgotten. So many out there could use this message. Thank You!
Billy still has that awesome pure voice that he had when he recorded this song. So beautiful so so strong. Thank you Billy, the world needs this song now more than ever.
@@cuzz63 It’s a trust process. After having a bad experience with my last therapist, I’m very leery. I share the most important things. It’s taken over year to get to this point where I feel I can share as much as I do.
@@cuzz63 I agree. Please share everything with your therapist. I seriously doubt that you've done anything so "embarrassing" or "terrible" that they haven't heard it before. I, too, felt "embarrassed" to share certain things. But once I did, I found that my counselor wasn't "shocked" or didn't appear to "look down on me". It was a relief to have it off my chest and into the open and I found out it wasn't as "terrible" as I thought it was.
After spending a great deal of my life depressed and feeling just what was written on that sheet of paper, after trying to take my own life as a teenager and considering it a number of times as an adult, I finally sought help and started Celebrate Recovery three years ago. It is now my passion to help others who feel less than, unwanted, not good enough, as I have been helped. Thank you for spreading the word that there is hope. Beautiful song and message.
Man, this song hits just as much today, as it did when I first heard it all those years ago. Thank you guys for bringing this song back, ya'll nailed it! Billy still has an amazing voice!
I'll link it if I find it, but there was a video of him singing Oklahoma as an adult to an audience and he straight up said that the record companies and labels and whoever else who doubted and shunned him made a huge mistake in giving him such meaningful and memorable songs that will live forever
I had never heard of you, Billy. After watching this I don’t know why. You have one of most beautiful, pure voices I have ever heard! This song is SO, SO important - it needs to. E everywhere so EVERYONE can see and hear it!! What a powerful lyric. Austin, Austin, Austin....you’re so silly. You know someone has some bucks when they say “cabin” to refer to a building like you are sitting in! That room is bigger than my apt! hahaha. I love that you guys are finally raking in some bucks!!! Your voice and Billy’s blend so beautifully. Thanks so you both for the music!
@@thomassmith1080 I am fine and enjoying a stunning Pacific NW sunset sky. Makes me wish I was still able to go to the Pacific with my family as a last “summer” EVERY year! Good times! How are you? Based on your responses to other comments elsewhere, you use the above greeting everywhere that has a female. Get many replies, you Mr Smoothee you?! (wink, nudge)!
@@sherimcdaniel3491 Smiles…actually you’re the first woman I’m talking to here,I hope you slept well,I’m just hoping we can converse more knowing each other more better if only you don’t mind.
This hit me hard. I was that boy in the video at one point in my life (lots of years ago). I went right to the brink. It was only because of a single person that I am here today. I was so grateful for that person and they don't even know they did that for me. Just the fact that they took the time to want to get to know me is all it took. I felt so alone that I couldn't see any of my family and friends around me who did love me. It took a complete stranger to open my eyes. Understand that you can make a person's day/week/month/year/life if people would just take the time to say hi or even smile at someone they don't know. Thank you Home Free and Billy Gilman for bringing this song to another level.
As someone who struggles with depression on a daily basis, I’d like to thank you for sharing such a beautiful song. It touched my soul. God bless you all! ❤️

Great work Billy! This is an awesome new version of the song that first got me hooked and addicted to listening to your voice and at least a dozen songs off your albums! God bless you!💕💕❤🌈💚
Wow! I always wondered whatever happened to Billy! You speak for all of us who deal with any differences at all. This song made me cry when you sung it the first time and this time it is so much more powerful and touched me even more! I am a substitute teacher and I see kids needing someone to hear their voice all the time. This is amazing! Thank you Billy Gilman!
Oooh😊💗 mmmy gosh!! Beautiful song. Thankyou so much. I'm here listening and just here praying. I'm a Christian and Prayer warrior here. God is so Good. 😊💗💗💗🇺🇸🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is so beautiful, and so true in today's day and age... where working from home brings so much stress to the body and mind. Thank you Billy Gilman and Home Free for this amazing message...
Yeah anyone who has been bullied will understand and feel the pain in this song. Yes one voice can change but sadly not all of us has that one voice who will speak for us and a lot of times even if u try to get help that person makes it ten times worse. I pray for everyone else who was bullied and to the bullies who are now older and to the few who have grown up and have stopped this pain I wish that they could spend a week with a couple of family's who have lost some one due to billing. The old bullies if the have a heart will never let their children be bullies. My prayers go out to all who have been hurt this way.

Coming from a Mom who has a child that attempted suicide twice, once as a teen and once as an adult, this song brought me to tears AGAIN! Very powerful. I loved it back when it came out but this is next level. You never know who needs to hear this exact message at this exact time!
@@chrystibaldwin1169 yes!! I have always loved Billy. This one originally didn't mean the same to me back then as it does now. Hearing it again really brought home the message.
@@strawbz1371 didn't it. He's grown up so much. I honestly think it makes me cry more seeing him do it as a kid because I felt like that and didn't know how to express it.
I love this song and it's message. It needs to be on every music station in the country and play it once every hour or more. People are hurting today, and a lot of them are choosing suicide. Don't do it!! Pray and listen, cause he is listening to you!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇❤❤❤

A month ago, my husband tried to commit suicide. Life changed. You can be in a room of lots of people and still not be heard. Mental Health is important. Just finding the courage to talk, can change your life.
Hello my dear fan,thank you for commenting on my partnership UA-cam account,I Wanna quickly use this opportunity to appreciate your support and concern towards my career, I really hope we could talk more better on my personal gmail account,stay safe and hope to hear from you soon.
Such an important message...mental health has been highlighted even more over this past year withh all that has gone on. Super video thank you Home Free & Mr Gilman, y'all are awesome !!!
This song has touched so many lives and has brought loss souls out of despair to see the light of another day. As a Pastor and an Archbishop the power of song can make all the difference in someone life. The word you sing touches hearts in a way so deep the the tears that come down on their face turns into smile and to know blessing from the Lord will touch them in a way that they never felt before. Total awesome song and always may you be blessed.
I didn't think anyone could sing this better than than the original by Billy G. as a kid but when he teams up with Home Free so many years later......WOW!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and support towards me. I will continue bringing you all the best . I am very grateful 🙏to have you as a fan that cares . Feel free to drop a message on my email.......Billygilman303@gmail.com
Thank you for this. At one time, I felt this way. It took me a while to change, but I am big on prayer and just conversing with God. Sometimes He even guides me to help certain people. So NEVER give up! You are loved and you can learn to love life again. Often, helping others will be the key.
Thank you Billy & Home Free for coming together with ONE VOICE to tackle a problem so prevalent yet so misunderstood. Many people hide what is going on inside them. I hope this beautiful song and video goes viral. It deserves it.

I loved this song when Billy sang it as a young boy. I like it just as much with Home Free. Billy still has it going on. God Bless. Happy Mother's Day.
I've never been a person who appreciated covers very much. My vocal coach always said to me that just singing a song isn't enough. If you're going to do a cover, you have to bring something to it. You have to make it your own. Home Free KNOWS how to make a cover like few others do. They take the most amazing songs and find a way to bring something fresh, new, and amazing to it each and every time. Absolutely gorgeous! And welcome Billy Gilman to the Home Fry family!! Glad to have you and your beautiful song here!
Well, it was Billy's song 20 or so years ago... So this technically isn't a cover... just a new rendition by the same artist with added collaborators. But you are right, cover songs can be very, for lack of better terms, lacking. However, most if not all of Home Free's covers are always fresh and some are even better than the OG.
This song is so important during this time of isolation because of Covid. Too many people can not cope because of loneliness and loss of structure and what was a normal routine. Trust in the Lord is what has helped my husband and me through this time of isolation. Thanks Billy and Austin for your music that will help another person cope with this new way of normal.
Way to get this Mom crying. My daughter struggled for years and this really hit my heart. My baby is still in my arms, but we know several families that dont because of these unhealthy lockdowns. 😥 Thank you for bringing awareness. #noshame #aware
This means a lot to me.....I just wished our son would have been table to be saved....for every one that is saved.....I thank God for that. RIP Nick....

Watching this video I prayed for the kids of all ages who don't fit in, who at best are just lonely and at worst bullied. Who begin to wonder if the only way to end the pain is to end their life. At 14 I was one. But there is hope and His Name is Jesus. He stood up for those who were bullied and against those who took advantage of or bullied others. He layed down His life for all who would come to Him. These kids need to know He is there for them, that His arms are open for them.
I remember watching the music video as a kid on TV and begging for the CD... still have it and I still know every word to every song. This made my day.
Thanks everybody for watching. Be sure to share and a huge thank you to Homefree. We are all in this life together. Kindness always prevails. BG
Thank you Billy! Fantastic!
Great job Billy and Home Free. Thanks for doing this Home Free. I loved it when it came out and like you said it meant something else then (because we were younger) now it has a new meaning to me or because we are older we look at it differently

Thank YOU for bringing this back around again and doing it with Home Free!!!!! This has always been a favorite of mine. 💖
Thank You for sharing this with us Billy, your have an incredible voice, I hope the opportunities arise where we hear more!
Thank you so much for the love and support y’all! And thank you to Billy for allowing us this chance to share such an important message with him.
Please, if you’re down and out, talk to someone. Take a long walk, breathe, and remember you are not alone. No matter what it feels like- it WILL get better. 🙏🏼
Amen for that ❤
Thanks to y'all for doing this!
Thank you Austin! We all need this message at some point in our lives!
Thank you for sharing the talents of Home Free and Billy!!!🤗
Thank you for helping all of us get through this crazy time love, love, love this song. It was great to be a part of you and Billy talking.
Billy is the most underrated country vocalist ever...
I agree holy cow
I miss Billy singing. He had some really good songs....
@@jonathanbair523 he's still putting music out, just not country.

U killed it sir..God bless u
How kind of you. You did a great job portraying that young man., I truly hope your dreams come true.
You did amazing. This song still hits me just as hard as when Billy first came out with it.
Thanks for this video. It helps. My son would have turned 31 today.
Music can save lives when mere words fail. All my love to everyone fighting a battle they can’t talk about.
Hello Cindy. How are you doing?
I cannot be the only human that cries at this song
Little Billy Gillman all grown up?! Times flies. This was great!
Hello Betty. How are you doing?
This song hits home . On April 30, 2015 my husband committed suicide . He left behind 11 yo twin boys. It’s been 6 years now and you never get over the loss. The pain he had when he was alive doesn’t go away because our boys and I carry it with us now.
Austin, a few months after his death I took my boys to your concert and it was great to see them smile. Thank you for bringing joy to my boys at a time when they needed it the most.
it's ok to let go of the pain, you have the gift of life.
My heart is with you!
I am so so sorry for your loss..God is watching over you. God Bless you and your boys. I wish you so much love and peace.
Praying for you all. God bless.
I understand completely. My husband committed suicide December 26th 2011. You never get over it.
Praying for everyone who’s struggling right now

Hello Kelly how are you doing
The kid version was great, the grown up version is phenomenal! BG has done what few child singers have been able to do. I'm so happy for it, too! I was a kid when this came out originally and was excited to see him on The Voice after country music did what bigots do best. We all need some BG in our lives 💜
I’ve always wondered what happened to him. I knew of him as a kid with beautiful voice.
@@billygilman337 always love to hear your voice. Hope that you are doing well and bringing us more phenomenal songs.
"country music did what bigots do best" what the hell are you talking about lady

Home Free and Billy Gilman did a beautiful job with the song and Adam did a very good job with the drumming. You need a box of tissues with this song.
Especially that last scene!!

Home Free just keeps getting better and better. Thank you guys for helping us thru the last year or so. You give so much
Hello Deb. How are you doing?
I am a public school teacher, this week we lost a student to suicide. Our community is broken hearted. May peace come to his family and friends.
Many children are dying due to this scamdimic . The government has lost their minds!

😭😭😭😭😭 wow that really struck a cord with me tonight listening to this. I am 33 I was born with a disability, all throughout my life I've had multiple of operations then at the age of 18 I got diagnosed with cancer an I had it for 3 years so I had it 3 times. Then at the age of 25 I had brain surgery. An at the age of 32 I had skin cancer. So I know what struggling is all about but one thing is for certain I never gave up I kept on fighting.
I'm praying for you. Your problems make mine seem insignificant. I'm praying you are better.
I love this song .....Billy and Austin sing it together beautifully
Wow, just WOW!! What a powerful message... sometimes it's simply a stranger smiling at me when I'm having a bad day that makes it better. I try to always smile and make eye contact with people I'm walking past... if I've helped one person, my job is complete!
Hello Tina how are you doing today. Hope you have a sweet Christmas 🎄
I really want you to know that this song touched my heart because I used to feel same way but the song made me think that I am special I used to feel down but now I’m feeling better after hearing this song love Annette 💕💜🥰
With combat PTSD, it’s a daily struggle to not let the demons win. This was awesome.
it gets better, one day at a time. your mind can heal
You fought one physical war now you fight a mental/ emotional one. An hour at a time, a step forward, and keep coming, there are others out there, reach out,
Thank you for your service and I hope you are getting the support you need and deserve! Praying for you!
Claudia siebert that's one statement that I wish could be true but I really don't think will happen. I can totally relate with Thomas Cole because I too have been there and struggle with PTSD on a daily basis. While I don't think those scars ever heal but we just try and find ways to help get through the struggles. I've known people who take to the bottle and pills and whatever drugs they find helps with their demons. The VA for me has done more damage than good with my PTSD with all the meds they would throw at me and the rushed therapy sessions you don't ever seem to get to the root what caused the PTSD in the first place.
I feel your pain, brother.
I didn’t know this Billy guy...his voice gave me goosebumps since the very first notes! I love how Home Free make room for other artists within their range of activity and how they deal with life issues. Bravo to all of you for you all-round commitment
Billy Gilman sang this, way back when, might be 20 years ago...
11 years old at the time (2000), he became the youngest artist to ever have a top 40 single on the country chart and it was this song.

I send my prayers out to someone who needs it...
I pray that some day, you'll be able to help someone in the same way.
Beautiful collaboration on a beautiful song. Remember when this first came out. Loved it then and love it even more now. Very powerful song. Keep up the wonderful work Billy Gilman and Home Free
Thanks for your lovely comments and encouragement towards my work . I promise to bring you all the best at all time 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍.feel free to drop a message on my email ..........Billygilman303@gmail.com

Hello Nancy. How are you doing?
I work in a behavioral health clinic and I try to help everyday. I'm so glad Billy Gilman and Home Free are helping to shed light on a growing national problem with our society. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much to Billy Gilman and Home Free or this song and message! I lost my daughter to suicide so I understand how important it is to get the message out there that there is help and love and compassion out there for all of us. My daughter chose a very permanent solution for a very temporary problem, I had no idea that she was at such a low point in her life. She wasn't alone and had a whole family who loved her dearly but in spite of that she still felt alone. Please if you feel like you can't go on please seek out help and just try that before ending your life, it might just change you life for the better. There really is many people out there who do care a whole lot so just know that you are never alone. ♥

Hello Judi. How are you doing?
Great Video Billy and home free .... life is beautiful but as for my son and nephew it was to hard for them 💔 RIP
Hello Linda how are you doing merry Christmas to you 🎅🎄
Thanks to all our veterans and may you find the peace you deserve!
Billy and Homefree covered this very heavy, very emotional subject beautifully. A heart wrenching song done to perfection. The video is inspiring and emotional. And if 1 person sees this and it helps them and inspires them to seek help. That is important. I hope whoever sees this and needs help will seek it out. Talk to someone. Realize you are worthy. You are not alone. You are loved. You are a gift. Thank you Billy and Homefree for making a difference.❤
Hello Carla how are you doing today ?
I remember when Billy had this out when he was a child. It was amazing then. Home Free is my favorite group and this collaboration just added to it. Beautiful all around guys. Thank you for redoing this song. It should never be forgotten. So many out there could use this message. Thank You!
Home Free + Billy Gilman = one great song! Love the collaboration on this song. In times like now due to the pandemic this song is really needed.
What awesome partnership for a great song. Thanks boys well done!
Hello Cathy. How are you doing?
Billy still has that awesome pure voice that he had when he recorded this song. So beautiful so so strong. Thank you Billy, the world needs this song now more than ever.
👍
I struggle daily with things I don’t share with anyone, not even my therapist. My heart goes out to all those that battle mental and physical health.
Please share with your therapist....how else can they help?
@@cuzz63 It’s a trust process. After having a bad experience with my last therapist, I’m very leery. I share the most important things. It’s taken over year to get to this point where I feel I can share as much as I do.
@@dekat7756 ok, got it. keep working on it. I hope you do well in life.
@@cuzz63 I agree. Please share everything with your therapist. I seriously doubt that you've done anything so "embarrassing" or "terrible" that they haven't heard it before. I, too, felt "embarrassed" to share certain things. But once I did, I found that my counselor wasn't "shocked" or didn't appear to "look down on me". It was a relief to have it off my chest and into the open and I found out it wasn't as "terrible" as I thought it was.
@DeEtta Sellers Don't give up Hon.. share what you can when you can .. you will know when the time is right. Hugsss and Blessings to you.
After spending a great deal of my life depressed and feeling just what was written on that sheet of paper, after trying to take my own life as a teenager and considering it a number of times as an adult, I finally sought help and started Celebrate Recovery three years ago. It is now my passion to help others who feel less than, unwanted, not good enough, as I have been helped. Thank you for spreading the word that there is hope. Beautiful song and message.
Wow!!! I have no words. God Bless everyone who is struggling and may you find the help you need. 💕
Billy Gilman, one of the most beautiful voices God ever made... thank you Billy, please keep singing for us.
Man, this song hits just as much today, as it did when I first heard it all those years ago. Thank you guys for bringing this song back, ya'll nailed it! Billy still has an amazing voice!
Hello Leah how are you doing today. Hope you have a sweet Christmas 🎄
I'll link it if I find it, but there was a video of him singing Oklahoma as an adult to an audience and he straight up said that the record companies and labels and whoever else who doubted and shunned him made a huge mistake in giving him such meaningful and memorable songs that will live forever
I love Billy Gilman.
Thanks for your support and love from you dear fan... I'm very proud to have such a supportive fan like you here ❤️
Why isn't there a LOVE, LOVE, LOVE button!!!!!
Home free and Billy gilman y'all what an amazing video and song it really touched my heart and soul .. Bravo bravo bravo
Hello Eva how are you doing today ?
I had never heard of you, Billy. After watching this I don’t know why. You have one of most beautiful, pure voices I have ever heard! This song is SO, SO important - it needs to. E everywhere so EVERYONE can see and hear it!! What a powerful lyric.
Austin, Austin, Austin....you’re so silly. You know someone has some bucks when they say “cabin” to refer to a building like you are sitting in! That room is bigger than my apt! hahaha. I love that you guys are finally raking in some bucks!!! Your voice and Billy’s blend so beautifully.
Thanks so you both for the music!
Hello Sheri. How are you doing?
@@thomassmith1080
I am fine and enjoying a stunning Pacific NW sunset sky. Makes me wish I was still able to go to the Pacific with my family as a last “summer” EVERY year! Good times!
How are you? Based on your responses to other comments elsewhere, you use the above greeting everywhere that has a female. Get many replies, you Mr Smoothee you?! (wink, nudge)!
@@sherimcdaniel3491 Smiles…actually you’re the first woman I’m talking to here,I hope you slept well,I’m just hoping we can converse more knowing each other more better if only you don’t mind.
This hit me hard. I was that boy in the video at one point in my life (lots of years ago). I went right to the brink. It was only because of a single person that I am here today. I was so grateful for that person and they don't even know they did that for me. Just the fact that they took the time to want to get to know me is all it took. I felt so alone that I couldn't see any of my family and friends around me who did love me. It took a complete stranger to open my eyes. Understand that you can make a person's day/week/month/year/life if people would just take the time to say hi or even smile at someone they don't know. Thank you Home Free and Billy Gilman for bringing this song to another level.
❤
As someone who struggles with depression on a daily basis, I’d like to thank you for sharing such a beautiful song. It touched my soul. God bless you all! ❤️

Hello Kimberly. How are you doing?
Wow! I always wondered whatever happened to Billy! You speak for all of us who deal with any differences at all. This song made me cry when you sung it the first time and this time it is so much more powerful and touched me even more! I am a substitute teacher and I see kids needing someone to hear their voice all the time. This is amazing! Thank you Billy Gilman!
Oooh😊💗 mmmy gosh!!

This is so beautiful, and so true in today's day and age... where working from home brings so much stress to the body and mind. Thank you Billy Gilman and Home Free for this amazing message...
Hello Dear. How are you doing?
Billy could sing the phone book and I would still be mesmerized by the sound of his voice!! Beautiful, as always!🎤🎼❤️
Yeah anyone who has been bullied will understand and feel the pain in this song. Yes one voice can change but sadly not all of us has that one voice who will speak for us and a lot of times even if u try to get help that person makes it ten times worse.
I pray for everyone else who was bullied and to the bullies who are now older and to the few who have grown up and have stopped this pain I wish that they could spend a week with a couple of family's who have lost some one due to billing. The old bullies if the have a heart will never let their children be bullies. My prayers go out to all who have been hurt this way.
Hello Jeanne. How are you doing?
Made me cry a bit. Hugs to everyone struggling out there
A big thank you for this one. May it reach the ones that need it most.

Home Free Friday 😊 I'm looking forward to it 😁💖
Hello Gabi how are you doing today. Hope you have a sweet Christmas 🎄
Coming from a Mom who has a child that attempted suicide twice, once as a teen and once as an adult, this song brought me to tears AGAIN! Very powerful. I loved it back when it came out but this is next level. You never know who needs to hear this exact message at this exact time!
Look up when Billy did it as a kid... You will cry more. From someone who does suffer from this....
@@chrystibaldwin1169 yes!! I have always loved Billy. This one originally didn't mean the same to me back then as it does now. Hearing it again really brought home the message.
@@strawbz1371 didn't it. He's grown up so much. I honestly think it makes me cry more seeing him do it as a kid because I felt like that and didn't know how to express it.
I love this song and it's message. It needs to be on every music station in the country and play it once every hour or more. People are hurting today, and a lot of them are choosing suicide. Don't do it!! Pray and listen, cause he is listening to you!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇❤❤❤

A month ago, my husband tried to commit suicide. Life changed. You can be in a room of lots of people and still not be heard. Mental Health is important. Just finding the courage to talk, can change your life.
This really touched my soul and heart. Crying it’s so beautiful. ❤️❤️
Excellent. Loved this when Billy was young and still do. So many children suffering. God be with them.
Billy has a great voice. With Home Free it should be outstanding.
Incredible
Loved this. I remember Billy singing this when he was just a boy. His voice has only gotten better. Great job Home Free and Billy.

This is so cool! I grew up listening to Billy Gilman!🥰
Hello jaylee. How are you doing?
This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Billy's voice always gives me chills and with Austin and Home Free it's breathtaking❤❤❤
Hello polly60 how are you doing today. Merry Christmas to you 🎅🎄
There are so many hurting people in this world. Thank you Billy and Home Free for this beautiful song that acknowledges it and gives hope.
Such an important message...mental health has been highlighted even more over this past year withh all that has gone on. Super video thank you Home Free & Mr Gilman, y'all are awesome !!!
This song has touched so many lives and has brought loss souls out of despair to see the light of another day. As a Pastor and an Archbishop the power of song can make all the difference in someone life. The word you sing touches hearts in a way so deep the the tears that come down on their face turns into smile and to know blessing from the Lord will touch them in a way that they never felt before. Total awesome song and always may you be blessed.
I'm sobbing as I type. Lived this for decades now, I just have to get thru today, tomorrow is a fresh start.
I HAVE TEARSSSS because of how they recreated the parts from the original video. It Is FLAWLESS!!!!
Thank you Home Free for doing this with Billy. It was beautiful. I’m an attempt survivor & this really got to me. ❤️
I didn't think anyone could sing this better than than the original by Billy G. as a kid but when he teams up with Home Free so many years later......WOW!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and support towards me. I will continue bringing you all the best . I am very grateful 🙏to have you as a fan that cares . Feel free to drop a message on my email.......Billygilman303@gmail.com
Thank you for this. At one time, I felt this way. It took me a while to change, but I am big on prayer and just conversing with God. Sometimes He even guides me to help certain people. So NEVER give up! You are loved and you can learn to love life again. Often, helping others will be the key.

Thank you Billy & Home Free for coming together with ONE VOICE to tackle a problem so prevalent yet so misunderstood. Many people hide what is going on inside them. I hope this beautiful song and video goes viral. It deserves it.

Glad to see him remake this song. It shows how much he has grown.
Hello Mary. How are you doing?
I loved this song when Billy sang it as a young boy. I like it just as much with Home Free. Billy still has it going on. God Bless. Happy Mother's Day.
Billy Gilman was the reason I wanted to sing he’s an amazing artist and to see y’all feature with him is just perfect
I've never been a person who appreciated covers very much. My vocal coach always said to me that just singing a song isn't enough. If you're going to do a cover, you have to bring something to it. You have to make it your own. Home Free KNOWS how to make a cover like few others do. They take the most amazing songs and find a way to bring something fresh, new, and amazing to it each and every time. Absolutely gorgeous! And welcome Billy Gilman to the Home Fry family!! Glad to have you and your beautiful song here!
So true!
Well, it was Billy's song 20 or so years ago... So this technically isn't a cover... just a new rendition by the same artist with added collaborators. But you are right, cover songs can be very, for lack of better terms, lacking. However, most if not all of Home Free's covers are always fresh and some are even better than the OG.
This song is so important during this time of isolation because of Covid. Too many people can not cope because of loneliness and loss of structure and what was a normal routine. Trust in the Lord is what has helped my husband and me through this time of isolation. Thanks Billy and Austin for your music that will help another person cope with this new way of normal.
Hell ya!!! What an awesome job of keeping this song amongst the ranks.
Beautiful! So good to see Billy Gillman.

Watching this video I prayed for the kids of all ages who don't fit in, who at best are just lonely and at worst bullied. Who begin to wonder if the only way to end the pain is to end their life. At 14 I was one. But there is hope and His Name is Jesus. He stood up for those who were bullied and against those who took advantage of or bullied others. He layed down His life for all who would come to Him. These kids need to know He is there for them, that His arms are open for them.
I’ve always loved this song. Fantastic job! It was nice to see Billy in this. ♥️
Hello how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day today
