When my father was in his final hours after a hard 8 month battle with Lung cancer (he was a Volunteer and republican prisoner and blanketman), I played this song and I never heard it beforehand, only played by yourself. I never cried that day until I heard it, the lyrics and your voice and this song mean so much to me now he passed away in October just a week after both our birthdays, thank you Dan for this cover❤️

Hi, Dan. Since I found you in KZbin, i listen to your wonderful musik every day. For me you have one of the best voices in the world. Whenever i hear one of your songs, it makes me feel a little better. I tell that cause our beloved daughter died in a tragic accident 2 years ago. She was just 18 years old and it will hurt all my live. I just want to thank you sharing your wonderful musik with us.

[@grahammurray3033]

I never comment on KZbin to be honest so belive it or not this means more than a simply comment.. Dan you are a rare breed unfortunately. .. our roots are slowly disappearing the stories you are telling should be for ever told your voice is beyond perfect to tell the story ... its 2021 crazy world this brings normality back the rare aul good times .. never taking for granted .. we need more of you please !!

Dan, when I heard this for the first I stopped what I was doing and wept. I missed all of my children growing up due to working away from home, like so many of us. I’m now playing catch up. I’m sure my wife put our young uns to bed telling them about me, and answering the hardest questions of “where’s Da?” And “when’s Da coming home?” Luke, wrote and sang songs with so much passion; Dan, you have that passion a passion only a son of Ireland has when singing soulful tunes. Please, please get an album together and get on iTunes so we don’t have log in into KZbin. God bless you Dan.
