This is something different, it isn't his normal songs you can really hear the pain and sadness in his voice, this is amazing thank you Lukas thank you.

[@ravendangernavy3575]

Lukas Graham is a band named after the lead singer

[@kateborders8739]

Christian Oskar that is true

[@ArtixxFoxxes]

Its about his actual family member. Its not just a song...this is trith thats why you feel the pain...he cries when he sings this song. Watch his lives of it...you can hear and see

[@josegonza1ez]

This one really hits me deep down ive been listening to it since like 8th grade almost daily. It reminds me of my uncle who suffered from alcoholism and how much everyone believed in him and who he was despite what he was putting himself through. I love him so much and i miss him every day!

[@nickbeniashvili7963]

Hands down one of the best albums of 2016....

The part where he says "I accept you as you are I don't need the truth" you can really feel his emotions

[@davidkelly8673]

My favorite Beethoven song. People are upset that he used it for the music, but haven't you ever listened to an instrumental work and thought, "wow, this could be great with lyrics" or automatically thought up some lyrics to go with the music? It's not like Moonlight Sonata is the main part of the song, and it is altered some. But honestly, this was a good choice of music, and it fitted well with the way the song was sung...

[@malab12]

Lukas graham dominates every singer in the world!!

[@gemmasowry]

+Paco Lara I agree with that

[@TheStigc123]

Lukas made this song for his friend serving hard time in jail. Pretty deep but gets even deeper. Just moments before Lukas went on stage live in 2012 he learned that his friend got shot down not knowing if he would survive or not. Worst feeling ever as he decribes besides when his father suddenly died at 61 (which he by the way mention in 7 years)

[@TheStigc123]

+Graham R Ferguson ..No your wrong he never even had a Brother.!!!! Only 2 sisters - Niamh Anna Forchhammer and Ella Kathleen (both alive and well) I know that a local newspaper at some point back i 2012 mentioned that he wrote about his Brother being in jail but that was not the truth. It was and still is about his friend ......try to Google it :-)

[@clintflicker7682]

+stig Christensen you're wrong. i dont know where youre gettin your info.

[@TheStigc123]

+Clint Flicker ...Your right. Lukas is actually in prison for life writing all his stuff from his cold and tiny cell. So tiny that they had to cut his piano in half just to get it in. And it's only due to the accustic inside the prison yard why his voice comes out that good....otherwise his just a poor to an average singer....a well preserved secret - so don't mention this to anyone...!!

[@chrism6651]

+Clint Flicker actually, +stig Christensen is completely correct. In an interview for this song, Lukas talks about its origin and how he made it for his friend who got shot and died. It's in Danish, though.

[@clintflicker7682]

stig Christensen you're also wrong. i know lukas. this shit didn't happen.

[@pastrylibrary7521]

With so many incarcerated people in the US, this song should naturally have a large number of people who can relate to the emotions and story-line. Very good song indeed.

[@georgefordham417]

Yup

[@SamarMtr]

I have never loved an artist this fast! his voice speaks to me!!

i heard his song (7 years) yesterday, and now i found this one and i can't stop it, i like that most of his songs mean something to him and that's what we miss in the middle of this stupid famous people who sing things without any meaning at all .. Hope fame will never change you ...

[@jesseswan7221]

It's been eight solid years that have passed since I've seen my brother, or said a word to him for that matter. Eight years since he turned his back on the family that raised him, loved him, and was always there for him. Still don't know why he left, though every time I listen to this song I wish that he would come back for just one day so I could play it for him.

[@ohbrother1967]

Still one of my favorite songs. Found out a friend committed suicide and even though this song isnt about that it still helps me. Ive sat in the car belting this song so much :( wish the USA would give more of a shit about their vetrans struggling. He was one of THE KINDEST most fun loving people ever and the world is definitely darker without him in it. I wish he knew he wasnt alone in that hell 😭

[@reptileking6767]

It'll be absurd if this doesn't get big.

[@michellemsoutar9494]

This song means a lot to me. My cousin and I grew up together till my mom moved me away to OR. She said the gangs would get me if we stayed in CA. They got my Cousin. He is in jail for murder. I know him. I love him. I cant change what he did... what it doesnt change is the love I have for him. The letters are part of me they always will be. My cousin is the one that told me to do better then the gangs. I have finished college and will be getting married. He did that.... he is a good man. Your song has gotten me through the trial and the fact that I wont see him again in this life. Thank you Lukas Graham band.

[@nicholasthompson9936]

Please stay on this track it's rare to actually find good music in this generation. Hopefully this band will be the exception.

I got the letter back Saying I can come and see you I really don't have time But promised that I'd come and see you You're sitting far away But do you know I sometimes need you I know that you deserve The time you got of all the people I know you never bent Even in the strongest wind I really wished to every God That you were innocent I'm happy and I'm proud That I can still call you my friend I hope you read the letters And the magazines I send You got your head up But I don't have my hopes high I know that you're a good man And that's what, brings a tear to my eye I'm like, oh I hope you know you're not alone in that hell And there ain't, no No one can change it No one can do it better than yourself 🎵🎶🎵🎶 I was sixteen And we used to roll together You told me back then That I was meant for something better You know in our life Nothing's gonna change but the weather It seems it's been forever Since we really stuck together I'm living a crazy life I wish that you could see it too See a thousand people sing My song from me to you Every time I sing it You know I'm bleeding too Man I accept you as you are No I don't need the truth I got my head up But I ain't got my hopes high See I know that you're a good man And it brings a tear to my eye I'm like, oh I hope you know you're not alone in that hell And there ain't, no No one can change it No one can do it better but yourself 🎵🎶🎵🎶 I reminisce to back then, when it was you and I Smoking big fat blunts, drive in movie night They tried to get you down, but you refused to die They tried to give you angel wings, but you refused to fly You'd rather stay in hell, and take your time in jail They're only punishing a soul that you will never sell We both know that we owe nothing to each other But can you blame me, for loving and missing my brother Oh, oh I hope you know you're not alone in that hell And there ain't, no No one can change it No one can do it better than yourself

everytime I listen to this I think about my brother, I'm so thankful that I found out about Lukas Graham and year and a half ago cause they really helped me a lot. I'm not saying this for attention or whatever, it's just the truth. When my mom told me my brother was in jail I started crying and listening to this song made me feel understood, I never thought someone could. Now I miss him more than everything and when I feel like give up (it was always my brother to give me strength to fight) or I miss my brother too much I just listen to them and it really helps. I'm so thankful, I don't think they realise how much their music can mean to someone, how much they're helping us. I appreciate you guys so much, wish you could know cause you deserve the best. Lots of love from Italy

My best friend and I listened to this everytime I saw him before he moved to Wisconsin with his dad. I miss you D.

[@liv7873]

I know this song is about Lukas' friend, but it really reminds me of my older sister who struggles with multiple mental disorders and has been in and out of the hospital for several months- she's only sixteen, but got mixed up in drugs last year and as cliche as it is, made friends with the wrong crowd. She attempted suicide for the first time around September of last year and was sent to the hospital, and it's just been an emotional roller coaster.. The hardest thing is just that she doesn't want to help herself, like she craves trouble. That's why this song hits me so hard. It's crazy how Lukas can take an experience of his own and formulate the lyrics in a way that everyone can feel on a personal level. He and his group are phenomenal musicians and I adore their songs-

[@agffans5725]

+Olivia Rogowski ... Hello from Denmark ... Some people are too self-destructive to be able to help themselves, for their own sake, but they may be able to find the strength to do it for the sake of people they love ... Perhaps your sister really need to see and feel your unconditional love for her and to really understand how you are feeling and how scared you are of losing her, more than she need to understand her own feelings....

[@phoenixoberrath2503]

[@jceb9292]

This makes think of my older brother. He was truly an opposite role model to take after. He was in the streets every night so that I may stay inside and hit the books. He sacrificed his life so that he may have given me a chance. It literately brought a tear to my eye when I wrote him a letter, He told me "you don't know how happy it makes him to hear from me." By him doing the things he did. It made me strive to not let him down. Do everything in my body, take sleepless nights studying. Truly if you have a loved one that's inside, give them call or a send a letter. You don't fully know how much it means to hear from someone in that hell, Which is not the prison but their own mind thinking they are thrown away in this system and left to rot....... Just a heart felt note to the world.............
