Coleen McMahon - "Beautiful Boy" Official Music Video

"At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black."― George Clooney
A little over two years ago, I lost one of my best friends in a tragic and sudden accident. His name was Tom Bridegroom. It was one of the most heart breaking times in my life to this day. I still cannot believe he is gone.
I am dedicating this song I wrote, entitled "Beautiful Boy" to Tom and all of those who have lost someone close to them.
I am so humbled and honored that Tom's partner of six years and one of my best friends, Shane Bitney Crone, put my song "Beautiful Boy" in his award winning documentary "Bridegroom".
About Bridegroom:
On May 7th, 2011 Shane tragically lost the love of his life, Tom, to an accident. Because they weren't married or prepared for the unexpected, Shane lost all legal claim to Tom after he died. Tom's family banned Shane from the funeral and he was unable to say goodbye. On May 7th, 2012 Shane posted a video on KZbin, entitled "It Could Happen to You." He created it to honor his partner and show the world what can happen when two people are legally barred from having equal rights and equal protections under the law to marry.

A personal note from me:
**My dearest Shane- I could not be more proud of who you are at the core and what you are standing up for. Thank you for your unconditional friendship over the years. You continue to inspire me! I love you!

Such a beautiful song ❤❤

Thx my son died today

[@jordanlennon83]

My brother was murdered and we played your song at his funeral. Its very fitting. X

[@Coopersheen]

I don't cry, but after watching the Bridegroom , I did. I don't understand why people want to hate love ? There are children dying on this planet because tey can't get clean water everyday, but two men who fell madly in love are worse to a family then that. I can't understand hate on love, no matter the face. This world is totally backwards, and I pray we all know , gay, straight, bi, trans, bi, curious, unsure whatever , love like you and Tom did. My heart feels for you.

[@ally_gyal_playz]

This is my baby brothers funeral song, i listen to this to remember him and feel comfort, beautiful song

I cried so much watching Bridegroom :'(

[@mickac6558]

So did I :/ Such a sad story :(

[@nicolasguzman519]

remember watching this documentary for the first time 7 years ago and oh God, i cried as no movie has ever made me tear, this documentary will always be the perfect proof that love has no gender, tap tap tap

[@akemi-ej5545]

When I first heard this song (Spotify) I thought I was about losing a baby and It was heart-breaking. Now I feel sad knowing that not everyone believes that love is love, no matter what gender or non-gender its for.

[@GothGal86]

So did I. I was watching some lovely birthing journey and there was a song playing called beautiful Boy, so I wanted to find it, I found the John Lennon version but not the one I wanted, then came across this, and my heart just broke. I thought someone must if just lost their son, then I thought of my son ( very briefly) and just CRIED so bad!!!!! Then I read more about it. Just so sad :-(

[@sthrnguy]

I watched Bridegroom for the first time today, and like so many others, was moved to tears by Tom and Shane's love story, and tragic ending. I was also moved to anger at Tom's parent's ignorance and intolerance, and quite honestly their selfishness. I've been thinking about it all afternoon, and finally came to the conclusion that they are to be pitied. I pity them because they'll probably never accept, nor be happy for the fact that their cherished son found true love, and was living his life to the fullest because of it, not in spite of it. They have missed out on really knowing Shane, and having his memories and experiences with Tom to more fully understand what an incredible human being they were blessed to have in their lives. As someone who has been partnered for 20 years, this has made me more fully appreciate the love and support I receive from my partner, and both of our families, as obviously not everyone is so fortunate. RIP Tom, and keep fighting the good fight Shane. You're both inspirational to so many people from so many different generations, ethnicities, sexual orientations and backgrounds. You've built a legacy of love and light, and lived lives you can be very proud of. #taptaptap #EqualityForAll

[@linwelcanoy4502]

After a year being stranger with all of these... But we have a good time. Realizing the fact even he is a guy but I found true happiness with him! No why's... No how's... I love my Bhe the it is a matter of acceptance! Break your shell and be it!

[@mariemarie929]

sthrnguy I remember the first time I seen this, I had no idea what it was about but Netflix picked it for me and oh my Lord I cried for 80% of it. However, there was lots of laughter also. It a shame what happened because believe you me-that right there-what we watched, well it's some once in a lifetime type love. And it was beautiful. Lastly, I try to stay classy but every now and then I get rattled and you have to remove that 'C' and throw in a 'K'. Once I'm klassy with a K, I'm a mess. Poor Tom, God bless his soul, to have a momma like his. SMH. That women was an evil evil ignorant evil woman. I have to go I'm trying to be nice but I feel the real me wanting to come out. Anyhow, thanks for the comment. Btw, there's a movie called "free fall" on Netflix because I watched that bridegroom was suggested. Just thought I'd mention it.

Listening to this song makes me always cry. Beautiful tribute to Tom and Shane. I'm a gay man living in the Czech Republic, 10 years in a relationship with my boyfriend. Soon, we're going to get registered as partners. Wish we could get married once with all rights like straight people.

I watched bridegroom yesterday and was absolutely devastated at how toms family treated Shane after he died I hope he finds some sort of peace without Tom. Such a beautiful relationship that they had. Never be ashamed of who you are. Beautiful song and sang with such truthful emotion. Toms memory will live on in everyone who truly knew him. His parents can deny his sexuality but it won't change anything. He was who he was. They should be proud of that fact

[@Jaybro817]

Coleen, I just want to say what a beautiful addition to Bridegroom your song of love and tribute to Tom is. Some people search a lifetime to have a friend like you obviously are to Shane, and was to Tom. In your video, we can see the love, and the pain of losing such a wonderful friend. We can also see the beautiful person that you are, your heart, soul and genuineness. May God always bless you with everything your heart desires, and I hope and pray that we are all blessed with many more songs from your beautiful talent.

[@tungbeohanu]

Dear Coleen, I just got to know your song when watching "Bridegroom" movie from Shane with my sweetheart. I shed tears right from the first 2 minutes of the movie. This song touches my heart countless times since I listened to it, replayed it, hummed it, sang it for the first time. It's too sad to accept the fact that Tom was gone... I can feel your (and Shane's, too) lost when the sudden accident happened... Thank you for writing and singing this moving song, Coleen! I can't stand crying, I'm sorry...

[@aulicious]

I don't know how many times I have listened to this song ... every time a few tears would fall. Such a moving song ... truly written from the heart.

Don't like the LGBT community move to Saudi Arabia and their Sharia law theocracy. Glad Israel recognizes Gay marriage.

On July 19th 2015, my cousin and his wife lost their sweet 11 month old. When I first heard that he was gone this was the first song that came to my mind. We'll miss you baby boy Benjamin Michael. I keep waiting to wake up from this nightmare. Please pray for my family during this time. This is coming 4 months after we lost my grandmother and Ben's great grandma. I knew deep down that she was waiting for him along with his uncle, Fidel and his Papa. I pray that God lends down a healing hand over my family and all those suffering with loss.

I so love this song and I so hate this song. It is so exquisitely done and it would be sad on it's own merit but I've seen Bridegroom and I know what the song is about. I can't listen to the song without crying and I can't even think about Shane and Tom and the unbelievably horrible circumstances under which their loving relationship ended without crying. I will never understand how people can hate such an indescribably beautiful thing such as what Tom and Shane had. I was lucky to have that kind of love once. I hope every day I find that kind of love again. Shame on Tom's parents.

Coleen has such a true gift of touching peope through her songs. The more I listen to her music, the more I am addicted to it. This song is by far one of my favorites. I wish I had watched the Bridegroom documentary way earlier. I only stumbled upon it on KZbin a couple of days ago. Shane and Tom's story is so moving that it is impossible to hold the tears. As one of the women in the documentary says, "it is not a gay thing, it is not a straight thing; it's a human thing." May love and empathy grow in everybody's heart so that we transform this world in a better place for the next generations to come. Lots of love and hugs from Brazil.

[@manusf1000]

A few years ago I discovered this music, and It always made me "feel" so much. I felt kinda guilty actually, 'cause it feels to me like It shouldn't be alowed to everyone, it's especial. And then, yesterday, I lost a friend to depression. He killed himself and we never knew anything, we didn't say goodbye. At his funeral, seeing him like that, remembering all the moments we had together, I never felt so much at once in my life. I just hope that, wherever he is, he finds peace and happines, that somehow he feels the love that we send to him now and forever, even If It is too late. Sentirei saudades, meu amigo. Te amo.

What a beautiful and meaningful song, so we'll sung by Coleen. IMHO this stands on it's own as a fantastic story of love transcending time, space, everything...However, the love that Coleen is singing about: Shane and Tom's was & will always be the kind of love most of us dream of having. We hope and pray for such a connection, someone who makes us our best selves. The story of their love portrayed in the movie-biopic "Bridegroom" is profoundly inspirational, which to be honest is an understatement. Watch it, it is that good, well done and truly should be required material to be watched (which in no way means it's boring, quite the opposite) Hope you enjoy!

[@babarabaraha]

I like how this one has become more mature than the first version although I loved the raw emotion from the first one. I really love the part where you sang the bridge because it's stronger now and you really feel the regret and anguish of why someone sooo young had to go the way he did. Even I am angry at how Tom passed. This song brings back the emotions I felt when I first saw Shane's video. I hate the feeling but it's okay because this helped the revolution towards modifying the society we live in.

I am glad to see that you are rising from the ashes and turning this horrible loss into something so powerful!

[@cuchelo1]

Some people are like a comet- too bright to last but lighting the sky brilliantly as they pass by. And it's wonderful to bask in it and much darker when the light is gone, but the memory of it all can last a lifetime. There's a reason why Tom and Shane met and had the experiences they did, and perhaps everyone who sees their story will take a tiny piece of that light and use it in their own lives, to illuminate the world. This song makes me weep with sorrow but also lifts my spirits in hope.

I have a very high risk job and see tragedy all the time. it's called 'life happens; and when it happens all we have is each other. For those of you whom are thinking of taking your life realize how precious it is, if you need encouragement contact the prevention hotline and just talk. YOU ARE ALL GREAT AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

Beautiful tribute! Such a sweet and angelic voice you have, loved the song and your singing. It's sad what happened to Tom, may he rest in peace. He sure is up in heaven watching over you guys and wishing you all are happy. It was a tragic love story Tom and Shane shared but I'm sure it was beautiful and full of love while it lasted. I'm happy Shane it's moving with his life and while doing that he keeps honoring his late loved one. I loved your song despite being a sad song it's really beautiful and touching, the lyrics, your voice and the sweet heavenly melody. Wish you the best.

Oh Coleen, your song reduces me to a sobbing fool...I lost my nephew 2 years ago when he contracted meningitis, we have not really come to terms with his passing and this song describes him and how we feel.....why did this song not get here to South Africa back then?....you should have won some sort of award so something for this, it really is quality compared to the rubbish playing on the airwaves these days.
