😢my beautiful amazing son died at Christmas he was only 28 never been in trouble never took drugs. He had a massive heart attack and I am devastated I am disabled and he was my world my everything. The pain is unbearable the loss is like no other. This song and the James blunt song Monsters is what will be played at his funeral which is even more unbearable because I don't have the money to cremate my beautiful boy . So thank you Billy for making such a heart felt song so meaningful and always makes me cry 😢and now my mum is in hospital for end of life care. I would love to hear you make a song for mums. Take care Billy From Richard.

I am from Hungary, after almost a year of the war started and with more than a million refugees on the streets, broke my heart to see the new children in my daughter’s school with them sad faces, and what can I say about that mothers/wifes with them suffer faces. We need a fast solution but unlucky I think the war will last longer than expected.

Foreshadowing is my favorite narrative tool. Billy calling for an end to NATO and here we are with WWIII on our doorsteps because Ukraine won't back down from their NATO ambitions. "It's the bombs that will bring us together." :(

Doesn't matter what year it supposedly was to the lord...who hears everything and doesn't give a rats ass if you had an 'audience' other than it. Beautiful voice, beautiful lyrics, beautiful song, beautiful people. PS... was probably burned at the stake in another life, whether she REALLY knows that or not... her OBVIOUS beautiful soul already knows that and so does her guardian angel. DUECES CREEPS!
