Lucy Spraggan "Dear You"

- I've been waiting so long to get this video out to you. This song is called 'Dear You' and it holds such a special place in my heart.
This song is about the impact mental health can have on us; whether you are the person suffering or you are a friend or family of someone who isn't well. I think the most vital thing to remember is that if you are in either of those situations or something similar, it's time to reach out.
There are so many people who can help and it's remembering that in the darkest times that is the most important. Being able to put songs like this out there helps me get along with my own demons, so thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do so ❤️
This is the first video I’ve co-directed, alongside Damien Reeves at Noisebox Films. Big thanks also to Thomas Turgoose!

How is this woman not a massive star? She's hugely talented
Adam White - she had to leave X factor which meant she didn’t get a deal which meant everyone forgot about her unfortunately. Hopefully some time soon she’ll do a hit song and get in the light again !
Exactly she’s such an amazing singer
90 percent of people just like looks than oure talent
AGREEEDDDDDD
we love you Lucy
Because she uses her British accent and refuses to Americanize her music. She writes what she wants. And she is better than they are.
Her song writing is better than Ed Sheerans. Just saying.
I am a wrinkly, disabled pensioner, and had the honour to recently see Lucy in Nottingham. Absolutely amazing. Your storytelling in your music is so emotional. I cried a few tears on several occasions. Well done Lucy.
Came here to see how that lovely Lucy Spraggan was doing I saw on X-factor many a moon ago. And now it seems I have something stuck in my eye. Looks like she's going just fine.
"you took your own life last July"
this line have me chills even though I sort of felt it coming, such a heartbreakly beautiful song
This is incredibly emotional. Your story telling is excellent ... the melody is hard hitting and so fitting. Lucy ... this is brilliant. You shine with such a humble light that highlights beautifully honest moments in peoples lives and stories. Proud of you!

+Stephen Kemp HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
+Max Headroom lol
anyone know the guitar chords for this ?? Lucy is my absolute favourite and I would love to play this song if anyone knows the chords it would really be appreciated
This hits home because I worked for my friend. I then got a better job and left. We always kept in touch. One day I called him to find out if he still has my cd walkman... his brother answered and said that he killed himself... I was devastated... I called his mom 10 years later to talk about everything. The reason that it bothered me so much is because a person that knew him told me that after I left his company fell apart and he killed himself over financial problems... wish I could talk to him.
Lucy Spraggan performes on a higher level then Adele. Voice, lyrics and total performance. Hands down for Lucy Spraggan.
I absolutely love lucy spraggen shes saved my life plenty of times
Lucy is terribly underrated, i can't believe that singer like she doesn't have that popularity like fr example Harry Styles or smone else, this is just unbelieveble how she's underestimated
At 58 i am probably not the normal type of follower of Lucy's. I first got to know about her by accident when my daughter was watching a UA-cam video of her. I since have listened to most of her music........She has the gift of playing with all of your emotions and takes you on a journey to peace and happiness.
Very talented song writer and will have a great future in the business.
A true artist touches souls and age doesn't matter.
I am nearly as old as you, 55, and I saw her live last year whilst that was still a normal thing to do. I was obviously not the typical person there either but I have seen a lot of artists live, and there was one primary thing I found fascinating about her performance compared with others, and that is that even when she was playing a song I didn't know, she was able to virtually teach it to us before and then perform it and we could enjoy it and sing along to it. This song wasn't on her playlist, I think it may be too emotional for her to perform. She has recently recovered from alcohol addition (recently being within the last year or two).
I’m 60 and feel the same. Appreciation of beauty, has no age limit. It is what it is xx
so talented I wish your musics were on the radio.
This actually made me cry, such an amazing yet emotional song
Last year when she giged in stoke I heard her sing this before it had a name, my heart sank and I cried in a crowded room, this hit my heart on so many levels
Got a letter from a friend a year or so after I moved to a different state. I was busy with school, and terrible at writing back. Never did manage to reply to him. A month or so later, his estranged wife sent me his obituary. He managed to OD on prescription meds while under care at the veteran's hospital. This reminded me of that.
It's been a while since I've felt such deep emotions stirring from within when I listened to a song...
It's Sean from This Is England!
Shaun ye
i love this so much.. as a guy suffering badly with depression and always feeling on the edge of ending things, this song sends a really powerful message :(
Been almost a year since a freind took his own life. This hits me where I live
How is Lucy not having millions of views and followers and fans. She’s talented, unique and amazing. Her music is one of a kind. I hope 2019 helps you to progress with the views and fans you need. You should be fucking famous
still don't know why this only has like 300 views
at the time you posted this comment the video had only been out a few hours
still only on 59k though
***** atleast! she is so underated it hurts!
still dont understand why this has 168,000?! this is shit!!
yoyoswolves check again love
I'm in Montana...in the USA. This song is SO relevant even here. Suicide comes with a stigma that silences. Using your music for reaching those struggling is beautiful and intelligently thoughtful. Way to be!!!!
Wow, that hit home. A few years ago when I lost my mum, my awful neighbours relentlessly tortured me to the brink, 24/7. On what I'd decided was my final day, a complete stranger saw my desperation and 'talked me down from the ledge' or I'd not be here now. I've been open about how bad I was that day and no one can believe I came within minutes of doing the deed because they say they say they see me as confident, strong, funny and determined ... I saw none of that in me at that point; thanks to a stranger, I've had time to get away from the monsters where I lived and move on ... but the flashbacks still haunt now and again. This song really nails that feeling of hopelessness that I thankfully rarely get now. I just hope it can inspire people to listen to those with issues because no one saw it coming with me but a stranger. Thanks Lucy. X
Oh, please keep going, you are amazing.
I remember standing at the back of Portsmouth Wedgewood rooms listening to this when you played there. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard in my life. This song hurts, it always will but it’s perfect at the same time. Thank you Lucy
Dear you,
You, who are still tryin hard
You're awesome, never give up
Lucy Spraggan, you are something else, you are an amazing story teller/vocalist/musician. When you sing I can actually visualise your words playing out. I have only really done that when I listen to John Lennon. you're brilliant hope all your dreams come true X
DAMN DUDE... this girl has incredible skill, lyrically, expression, how am i so late to this person!
300,00 Views only? one of the few songs that makes you cry..... Lucy You are beyond Awesome I can't wait to hear more from you!!!!
That has to bed the single most emotional song i have ever listened too still crying and my god that hit hard Lucy you are a words smith you know what you are doing when it comes to lyrics just keeping doing you and my god the rest will follow loves everyword and the tears on my face love it too.
I've heard many emotional songs, but never cried. Sometimes I just can't. But this.......this made me cry. It hit hard when she said that the person took their life last July, because I tried to do the same too. I had to go to hospital, had to be wired up to a machine and put on a drip due to the tablets being in my blood stream. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for five years, it's been really hard at times. The only advice I can give is just to speak to somebody, get help. Don't shut yourself away, speak out......because somebody will listen.
Having mental health problems make this song so more emotional and hard hitting I died in hospital after a morphine overdose they resuscitated me so glad I'm still here
Thank you, Lucy! This one,again; is so intense. Crazy good.
Sad, but true: I just was at a concert with a friend. And her friend told her that a friend had called her, just some days ago:
"Can you come around? I'm feeling desperate." But she had other plans. The next day, she was informed that this friend took her life, that same night.
So, tjis song really is hitting a spot, here.
Your ability, to make things like that into words, into even songs: is amazing!
Lots of hugs from the far north of Germany!
why this doesnt have 1 million or more views? so, so amazing that just blows my mind
Thomas turgoose and Lucy spraggan. Mad combo.
I heard this song on the radio today (MDR Kultur, german) and ... have no words... Excellent! I love it!
I'm sad this had to come from personal experience but I am glad there was that moment when you realized that you could come to an end but you couldn't put your dog through death with you. I am happy that you now seem to be happy with your partner in your new marriage and that you have found someone to share your life with, the good and the bad. You are a brilliant story teller and I hope you never stop sharing your "stories" with us, I think they have already made a large impact on many people! Tea and Toast gave me comfort after the death of my Dad and for that I thank you! I wish you blessings in all your endeavors!

I swear to god she is one of very few things that makes me cry.
Never thought i would cry because of a song
Helena, Hye Min Yeo Me too 😭
Oh my days she is so incredible and deserves so much more views and likes
Sister has mental health problems. This song does really come out to me because I'm only 11 and I've struggled a lot.
sorry for your struggle. all of us can give you advice and sympathy. But, honestly at 11 you are strong and doing things what most of us can't do. well done and don't give up on your sister.
I have been through lots of things aswell Tommy terguise hurt my mum and her ex beat my mum up and she got in prison and he killed my mum so I hurt him in my house if u know him ask him if he knows someone called Kayleigh Michael Brewster that is my mum and I got took of her and cause him he gave me an anger problem ADHD and he was a year above my aunti surran Brewster ask him if he knew surran Brewster I almost killed my self cause of him but I still like him and then my nana died she was only 44 he was a boyfriend with my mum rip mum I love u xx
And u can talk to lots of people if u have any problems don't be afraid we can be mates I am 11 aswell I feel so sorry for u x
I'm so sorry :'(
So does my sister, this has been a real struggle for me as im sure it has for you, if you need/want to talk to me about it or want some advice message me i will always help, you are so strong, it is so hard to go through childhood helping with a family member with mental health, you are so strong and amazing! KEEP FIGHTING BOTH YOU AND YOUR SISTER YOU CAN BEAT IT!
To this day that some still gets me
As usual, a meaningful and evocative song that tugs at the heart strings and deals with those issues which others run a mile from. You're 25 and I'm 65 and your songs touch the hearts that others fail to do. Good on you, so keep up the honesty and I will continue to buy your cds and support you in any way I can.
this reminds me of my grandad hes not on holladay....... it hurts thankyou for the closure i needed.... im sorry for this emotinal post but this song realy effected me....
This song reminds me to keep fighting my demons because if i take my own life this is the pain my loved ones would feel. They would wish and hope for myself to be alive
is that you walking by at 1:44? beautiful song, beautiful video.
Well spotted 👍
Have been following lucy for years now, heard this song when it came out. Had a re-listen a week ago, it has been stuck in my head since.
The best musical story teller of our generation I think...
This song brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it...
This is so inspirational I've been suffering with mental health for so long now and it's songs like this that are helping me get through all my demons. This song pretty much sums up how I'm feeling at the moment Thankyou Lucy for always managing to read my mind❤️
I just got so many goosebumps and shivers. ..wow
I've been a fan since Lucy was one x factor. Her songwriting and story telling skills are second to none. Lucy is honest and open with her fans about what she's been through in her life. She's an amazing artist and person. ❤❤❤❤❤
such an emotional song, gave me chills and tears in my eyes. Lucy you always know how to make a simple but elegant song.
You are inhumanly gifted at making me cry but still like the song.
I watch this for the first time today and it made me fucking cry. I lost my sister last year and it killed me but I have hardly shown it. This made me sit and really I mean really think of her. So thank you so so much for making me feel something.
I remember you performing this last time I saw you in Sheffield. I cried towards the end of the performance cause it hit me like a tonne of bricks. Then I couldn't stop thinking about the song. I'm so glad you made a video to go with this.
This makes the heart, the soul, the very depth of you ... ache ...
fck, what an absolute tearjerker as someone with mental health, Lucy you are amazing.
I can't remember the last time I found a musician that touched me as much as you. I just stumbled upon your music and....I...thank you for awaking emotions in me that I thought had dissapeared completely in the depths of numbing depression.
great work
Seen her pop up on my Facebook timeline, forgot about her after X factor, searched her on UA-cam and I'm so glad I did she has grown into something amazing. This video hits me hard for personal reasons. Keep it up Lucy you're amazing! New fan
This is beautiful. I can relate to this, and it's perfect.
Very powerful song brought a tear to my eye
When your faith in modern music is on the wane it's refreshing to see such a clever lyricist coming through. Excellent and well thought out song. Amazing delivery too!
beautiful song makes me think of my dear friend Ian who took his own life.....we lost touch towards the end and i often think of him
This is brilliant. Personally, I feel like you're much more suited to doing this kind of song; the kind that tells a story that's deep, sad and thought provoking
this is a powerful video and song that does a wonderful job of demonstrating how we can get lost in the darkness of depression- completely oblivious to the fact that people care for us
Love it Lucy, emotional 😢 hits you in the stomach 👊🏻 you never know what goes through people's minds
It still fails me not to break into tears after listning to this
How is there 21 million views but only like 700 likes ? This deserves so many more !
21m? says 30k
+dr 92 omg how ? she had 21 million?!?
Numbers of views are completely unreliable: I've often seen them change from one click to another (I don't know if the likes/dislikes are as unreliable). Let's hope this has in fact 1 billion views and 1M likes - it deserves it!!
I've always loved Lucy spraggan's music, I remember watching her on Britain's got talent and I loved it. Especially tea & toast and last night
This song has saved me 😔💙
I'm literally bawling oh my gosh. This is amazing.
This is sooo emotional i was crying my eyes out its awful what these storys can do 😭😔😭😔
Gritty and real, you are awesome ox

My mum was with Tommy terguise and I hit him cause he had a fight with my mum and he killed her rip mum 😿
Lina Rahhal wtf are you talking about?
Words cannot describe how much I love this song, such an inspiration lucy❤️
Makes me think of the good friends I've lost in life amazing singer Lucy spraggan 🎶🎵
Saw you perform this in Wolverhampton a few weeks ago, so glad it's been released now
Yeah what a fantastically talented artist and she can sing incredible❤
Thank you Lucy for this song, a special friend of mine committed suicide yesterday, we drifted apart over the years, i tried calling him last night because i didn't believe it. your song is helping me right now.
Sooooo emotional. Thanks
Incredible, you're such a talent! Don't ever stop story telling of real life, wow!
this song still gives me shivers
Emotional and beautiful song. Well done to the musician that did this.
Amazing, so thought provoking. Well done Lucy. 💗
this song is amazing. It gave me goosebumps! for the past four years I've been struggling with my mental health. This song is just so great, I'll be listening to it on repeat now!!! thank you Lucy for such an important song.
honestly this is my favourite music video of all time
I love how all your songs have a story behind then
Brave subject, beautiful lyrics. You have an amazing talent for telling stories through music and connecting with your audience.
What a song ! On repeat !
I love how you can convey a powerful story within your lyrics...partway through this song I held my breath knowing this wouldn't end well, but with you I always have to finish the song no matter how teary I get. Off to to listen to beer fear for a cheer up :') This was beautiful and terribly sad
This is so beautiful and emotional, I nearly took my life a couple of years ago, I've felt similar feelings recently. Dance is the only thing that makes me forget about it and I've decided to use this song for my audition piece for my BTEC dance performance, thank you Lucy you inspire me ❤️💃🏻
Instant goosebumps wow so emotional 😭 xxx
I loved her like no one would ever do. Everytime she smiled she made me feel like I am finally home. Then things happened and eventually she let go. If I wish anything is that she knows how much I love her and how I really wish to hold her hand one last time. I love you Zeina.
This song is so beautiful and emotional.
Was actually looking for another song by the same title but this is a beautiful track
Beautiful. I’ve only just come back to this after 3 years and it’s the best feeling in the world to hear music like you’ve heard it for the first time all over again after a little while ❤️
