I’ll be honest I’m not a big fan of country music…but this song….I can’t describe how much I love this song…so beautifully sung…so haunting…I’ve cried every single time I’ve listened to it

[@gabrielledonnald3616]

I wonder how many of you are here because of Brokenwood Mysteries?

[@ladonnamcalister1310]

Me!!

[@catherinecreedon4981]

Lol, me too😂

[@skipjack1081]

Me too! They had/haave some great tunes on that series - (along with the actors etc.!!).

[@induspol2924]

And me !

[@JoePeters_Tokyo]

Yep!

[@BrAdolf00]

Wow!!! I've been listening to this song on repeat for the whole day, what a song! Love your vocals Tami, discovered your song while watching Willie do duets on youtube, now been going through your songlist on spotify, absolutely awesome, love your work. Good to have a Kiwi representing in the country music genre, have subscribed to both channels of yours, looking forward to Hamilton concert. Tu Meke!

[@scottnix4991]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video waiting for the album to drop. Thank you Tami, Delaney and Jay for this beautiful song. Thank you Willie for recognizing the awesomeness of it. And thanks, of course to Todd for such a beautiful video. Maybe the best part of the Reunion was y'all all getting together again after so long and having real honest to God tacos. Much Love from Texas. ❤

[@tamineilsondotcom]

Thank you for always being so supportive, Scott! …and I miss the tacos already 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@queenanne2005]

My grandma, who raised me and was my whole world, died three weeks ago. This song is SO beautiful and touches my heart so deeply. Thank you for this. ❤️

[@tamineilsondotcom]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Go gently with yourself, much love to you 🙏🏼

[@daveinprogress3]

The reverence in your eyes as you meet WIllie's gaze says it all, Tami. What an exquisite 4 minutes! Just wondering what Willie thought of your beautiful cover of 'Crazy'? And would you do a duet with him on his classic song? A boy has to dream, hasn't he? Best wishes to you and yours Tami.

[@canuckowl]

@yuoop noke Patsy Cline would have loved to have Tami's range.

[@blackstratblues]

What a gorgeous arrangement. One for the ages.

[@erinfoley7237]

Perfection! Can't wait for the new album and you know I'll be right there, front and center for at least one Canadian date ;)

[@victorgraham7247]

Hello there Erin it's nice meeting you here

[@grendel_nz]

This is the best 'country' style song I've heard in a decade! Absolutely gorgeous. Love it 🙏 The harmony of voices works perfectly. Thank you RNZ for playing this and bringing it into my world :)

[@imudaman]

This song is absolutely amazing! The voice, the lyrics, the string arrangement. It really does encapsulate the essence of classic country music. So glad that we get to hear something as beautiful as this in this day and age.

[@philkosiba7737]

This beautiful love song is the only consolation I have after losing my friend to cancer in 2021

[@tamineilsondotcom]

I’m so sorry for your loss and grateful this song is a comfort to you🙏🏼♥️

[@devachan1164]

In music history there are lots of great songs but only a bunch of them are simply magic... this one is pure magic!

[@lorishmori1591]

Instant classic. So beautiful and heart wrenching. Well done Tami & Delaney.

[@musicfriekje]

Incredible voice ❤ Not even 10k members? Hello world, wake up! Such an unique talent, this Tami. Can't wait for Kingmaker! 🙏

[@debrabradley5005]

This should be number one in America too!

[@dannettewarren4791]

I am just discovering your beautiful amazing voice Tami. I heard your song Walk from the Brokenwood Mysteries show and I had to give a shout out to my fellow Canadian 🇨🇦. This was a beautiful video great job 🙂

[@Danielsenish]

I hear this nonstop. Oh what a heartbreaking song. I needed so much to weep

[@tamineilsondotcom]

Love and healing to you 🙏🏼

[@heatherlewis8937]

The most beautiful song ever!😍

[@chaspiper]

This song might be your greatest work, Tami... Willie just brings this to another level. Mindblowningly beautiful. A masterpiece.

[@TheImmortalPetal]

I agree 100%

[@kevingallagher3584]

Just when I bitch about The CMA awards not bringing the Hispanic artists into their tent, WIllie and Tami bring this Ranchera type song into the arena. Tami has a voice that brings back the vocal timbre of Patsy Cline and is really Old School and could be a GAME CHANGER!

[@tamineilsondotcom]

The ultimate compliment, thank you 🙏🏼 ♥️

[@tamineilsondotcom]

But, also, yes to CMA celebrating Hispanic artists, the OG cowboys and foundational artists of the genre 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@roseanna504]

This song has a magic about it. ✨

[@lakehurongirl]

Your lyrics made me cry. Beautiful song.

[@elvadawoolf1629]

I love it my anniversary would be April 15 he is in heaven this came at a beautiful time thank you

[@tamineilsondotcom]

Love to you 🙏🏼🤍

[@gracelebherz4889]

Just saw you perform this song at the Montreal Jazz Festival….it brought me to tears, absolutely beautiful.

[@MxWolvie]

I cry every time I hear this song. The 100x I have listened. So beautiful.

[@davincisghost9228]

Thank you Tami. And thank you Willie. You remind me of the joy, even at the end. ♥️

[@azpowerhitter]

Angels voice. Amazed. Bought this song instantly. So gifted.

[@bryanssongalone8483]

I consider you the greatest singer this world has seen. Your voice is etheral

[@Counterflow]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever hear. You’ve got a new fan Tami. ❤️

[@suzettetaylor6803]

Heard this in the van today on CBC. You almost made me have an accident, Tami, trying to listen, write down your name, and drive all at once! Absolutely gorgeous. A perfect song.

[@TLovly77]

Wow.. decided to check her out after hearing another song on Brokenwood Mysteries. Powerful voice definitely needs more recognition and exposure.

[@buffylouttit7785]

I've got chills all over my goosebumps, a lump in my throat and tears welling up in my eyes 🥰💞 I'm dreaming of the day I join my beautiful momma in heaven ❣️ Joanne Faye Louttit (nee Pine) R.I.P. Sept 7/48 - May 19/75 (I was 6 yrs old and survived the car accident that claimed her life 💔)

[@RanjitMakan]

@buffylouttit7785 God bless you so sorry for your loss at such a young tender

[@buffylouttit7785]

​@@RanjitMakanThank you, I appreciate your kind words 🥲💕

[@charlesboyer61]

Haunting, beautiful and so original. Everyone did a wonderful job with the song, and the timbre in your voice was showcased perfectly, Ms. Neilson. I must get this on vinyl....

[@rangarboy]

A song so touching, for all of those who have lost someone close like my partner of 37 years earlier this year. Just look beyond the stars ❤

[@Possumpicnic]

Beautiful voices, with heart-moving lyrics. I was transported.

[@bettyneilson1091]

Perfect! It IS hauntingly beautiful!

Beautiful song and beautifully sung.....special to have Willie sing with you!

[@spahncamper]

I don't generally consider myself a fan of country music, but I could always enjoy some of the classics. This is a stunner, and I'll be looking for more of your work!

[@johncoddington9532]

Beautiful as usual Tami, having Willie doing duet with you is just magical. Well done; thank you. I look forward to your new album.

[@avocadostan22]

Thank you for this work of art. I’m proud to be a kiwi.

[@444train1]

Amazing !! Your tone and voice control is so so beautiful . The song had me with just the first phrase when you falsetto at "You AND me...were together" Great singer !!

[@larrybrickey1133]

A great waltz rhythm. Makes me want to dance.

[@gordonritchie6316]

Just wow! How cool is that? Hearing Tami, Willie and Delaney all through that. You must be and should be ver very proud. ❤️

[@olafpeka]

And now I'm missing my mum. She only visits me in my dreams too.

[@billandjerilyn-hosts2109]

Thank you Tami. We met last year after Bobbie Nelson died - online - this song really meant a lot to me lately when my brother passed away.

[@HorsesFreedom]

Heard your interview feature and this song, on the radio this evening, driving my country roads back home. What a lovely story and a sweet song. I think you should due a song with Ron Kalmakoff. Your voices, I think, would combine beautifully. I'm sure you have heard him before, Ever Since You Went Away, dedicated to his grandmother, reminds me a lot of your song. Sorry for the loss of your father!

[@mariemcdonald5017]

Number one just beautiful perfect harmony ❤️ love it ❣️

[@Astravoid2111]

It's making my soul sing❤️

[@debbiebruhn7753]

I heard this song for the second time in two days in Siriusxm Satellite radio on Willie's Roadhouse

[@oramonika9758]

Kia Ora, Just listened to your podcast with Anika. I found your story inspiring and the love, admiration you shared about your father really touched me. This song is such a wonderful way to honour him.

[@BrianSmith-vl7xu]

Your Dad would be so proud of you!

[@Minxy1968]

Love this so much!!

[@kenji1968x]
