I lost my dad today. He never stopped fighting for our family, and he's the only person who has never given up on me. I will never be the same...

[@lucasvercosauchoa]

I'm sorry pal

[@BenevolentGodzilla]

+Alca Loyd be like him, and maybe in the future make your kids proud ;)

[@bosjackswee]

I'm sorry for your loss, I lost my father on the same date except in 2013

[@biffeeosrs7750]

stay strong brother

[@lindseyjones1992]

i know your pain

[@geovanaroque9262]

This band gives me feelings that I just can not explain

[@darron6946]

have you tried sadness?

[@geovanaroque9262]

it's not sad, it's lovely

[@darron6946]

You just roasted me :/

[@mimim3503]

Geovana Roque yes magical out of this world

[@xinthedirt]

Luke's father died when he was 3 years old, the lyrics make this so sad.

[@xinthedirt]

yes, "I learned to tie my own tie too" Fathers are usually the ones to teach their sons how to tie a tie, etc..

[@majshkdt]

+Alex L You made me cry :(

[@josedelacruz8423]

+Alex L I didn't know that, i'm crying. I love this song and i listen it when i move to U.K. living alone, this song give me a lot of feelings.

[@ashvinsivakumar573]

+Alex L Oh. That's sad... Amazing song.. made me cry

[@smilyface38]

+Ashvin Sivakumar Or you know, you can actually watch the video... At the end it shows his father soo....

[@viicttoriia22]

Sin duda alguna See me now es de las canciones más profundas y sinceras que he escuchado de The Kooks por no decir la que más. Grandísima canción.

[@kevinchavez7110]

I hope my dad would be proud of me someday. Miss you so much.

[@brunkemusik]

Damn! I love this song so much! I can identify myself with it, too! Your Daddy would be proud of you man! - cheers!

[@rrrriri]

i sincerely want to thank luke pritchard for making such a beautiful song. i lost my dad when i was 3 too, so i finally found a song that i can relate to whenever i miss him. thank you.

[@pastachaos]

I love this song, so emotional. His accent just adds to it. I love it:)

[@lazyvampire4920]

I like how The Kooks doesn't changed their style at all for this album, still they, still their...escence.

[@courtneyjones7283]

Growing up The kooks helped me through alot of rough times, their music has always been a massive influence in my life and I've always admired the lyrics and emotion in their songs. Recently their music has changed quite alot and I wasn't overly keen but this beautiful song brought back my love for the kooks! Meeting Luke in 2011 still gives me shivers, your an awesome guy, keep doing what your doing because I'm sure your dad is overly proud of you!

[@lorebonifaz3272]

I know this song wasnt just for his dad, is also for the fans and i just wanna say thank you Kooks. I misss you dad RIP.

[@ichabodcrane4768]

I just lost my dad today and this song is making me cry so bad I can't even put in words, but it's giving strength at the same time. I promise I will keep making you proud dad.

[@jcgrand5917]

I cannot listen to this song and not cry. I have tried and its so difficult. Music evoking emotion at its finest.

[@michela4415]

Lyrics: Well I've been a lot places, I learned to tie my own tie too, I've met a lot of faces, I've got some questions I'd like to ask you. If you could see me now, If you could see my smile, See your little boy, Oh, would you be proud? I've been in sticky situations, I fell in love with a girl who likes girls, I know mom's thinking of you, I'm busy trying to make it in this world, I hope I'm living your dream, daddy Have a drink on me upstairs If you could see me now, If you could see my smile, See your little boy, Oh, would you be proud? [x4] Well I've been a lot places, I learned to tie my own tie too.

[@maryswift5441]

One of the best videos i've seen. RIP all the parents that havent been lucky enough to see their children as adults.

[@cupcake21409]

The emotion just flowing out in this song is overwhelming. This song is awesome. I just heard it for the first time a few days ago and I listen to it at least 15 times a days. I just love it. It's like I feel the pain inside Luke.

[@ultramansato]

THE LONELY LIFE OF A GAIJIN IN JAPAN. no matter how long you are living here, no matter how many people you meet, you still have this itching feeling that you don't belong and you always find yourself thinking "I'm lost" before you close your eyes and fall into a deep slumber, followed by you waking up to another day at work in the land of the rising sun.

[@LachieDazdarian]

This looks like China to me. Hong Kong? Shanghai?

[@jackkim127]

Lachie Dazdarian This is actually Japan

[@LachieDazdarian]

Jack Kim Yeah, the no smoking sign is in Japanese. My bad. Now I see that Kanji is adopted from Chinese. For some reason I thought it looked distinctively different from Chinese writing.

[@jackkim127]

Lachie Dazdarian That's fine mate

[@daianayorke7878]

ultramansato So many foreigners feel like that in Japan, Japanese people just don't like foreigners.

[@luisrenteria3890]

I can't relate in any way to this song, my father is still alive and I surely hope he stays like that for a long time. But man, I saw them live last october in Mexico City, and when they played this song I couldn't help but shed a few tears. The feeling Luke imbues to this song is undescriptible. Beautiful beautiful song.

[@DestinyBatesa12]

This song really hits home, especially when you relate personally to it. Mine died just over 3 years ago, and I'm missing him everyday. I cried when this played at Community Festival but my god did it feel good to just let it all out

[@dianelopez96]

why does this make me nostalgic?

[@BaginskaDirector]

Diane Lopez Because its about his dead father maybe?

[@sicilianstyle4517]

Diane Lopez Probably because the chords are minor chords. Minor's give a sad heartfelt feeling to music, whereas major chords give upbeat happy feelings

[@kaymckinney3132]

Ephi Yes, it is about his Dad. Thank you Luke - lost my Daddy when I was 4 years old. You are able to put words to my feelings. I cry every time I hear this song. And Yes, Luke, your Dad would be so very proud Have a drink on me. Much love to.the Kooks. Thanks again, Luke. .

[@dmoody4628]

it has that feel

[@jac0bCS]

+Diane Lopez i listened to this for like a month straight on the bus to college and now am getting hard nostalgia of sitting on a bus lmao

[@ShwetaSachdevacookeatsleepgrl]

The melancholy is infectious. Good feelers.

[@rAppleee]

I swear I love them more and more with every single song. Amazing guys.

[@Nancy_Dominguez]

This song is so amazing I cried the first time I heard it, it's so touching. Your dad would be so proud of you!

[@Ifeareels]

i get sad every time listening to this. one of my favorites

[@SweetasSugar42]

I know this is about his dad dying but it reminds me of when I lost my best friend of five years over a misunderstanding of unknown feelings. My heart is still broken and I'd love him to see me know, doing so much better than I was when he knew me.

[@goodsvibes9393]

Happy Father's Day man.

[@ThePaulinhaGaby]

Luke, you're amazing. And I'm very proud of you and I think your daddy does too. Love you! xx

[@slicedbutterflies]

My dad died when I was a child too so this hit me hard. RIP Bob pritchard xxxx

[@seesaythinkthings]

Absolutely beautiful.Your dad is smiling really wide up there Luke.

[@blade09]

This reminds me so much of if you could see me now by the script. It's along the same lines and it's directed towards his father too

[@ProduccionesRyM]

that haircut really suits him.... (sorry I had to say it)

[@kokonavas9376]

Me hizo recordar a mi abuelo, fue como el padre que no tuve u.u lo extraño. Hermosa canción

[@carameloibarra8634]

Un abracito para todos aquellos que perdimos a nuestro papá y nos hace más falta que nunca, ojalá algún día podamos vernos. Mientras tanto, espero estar viviendo tu sueño papá 😢❤

[@elcheloavila]

A todos los que hemos perdido a nuestro padre desde tan pequeño nos sentimos tan identificados con esta canción.

[@mrcactus1984]

Really a lovely song to sing in this great friday. The Kooks are just simply awesome in song writing

[@lorrainewoodward2882]

I love this song and every time I listen to it I torture myself. This song makes cry every time. The lyrics remind me of something in my life. And now in this moment in time it makes me think and cry. Just reading the lyrics makes me cry.

[@benbrianfernandez]

I got emotional when I heard this song for the first time. Don't get me wrong, my dad's still alive. We've been living in the same roof but it feels like I haven't proven anything to him yet. He's one of most loving, caring people I know, but there's just this gap between our relationship. Thank you for this song. I'll just play this whenever he'a away from my soul.

[@migueldejesus9234]

Fantastic piece. I lost my Pops at 12. Life goes on, one learns to be happy again with time, but a part of one's self is always lost forever when someone dear goes. I heard this song for the first time at one of their shows in New York last year, more than 9000 miles from home, at the age of 27. What a beautiful, sad, meaningful experience.

[@SirenVosa]

For people who never had loving parents, this song is therapeutic. Underneath all there hatred and anger, love is hiding.

[@giuliana2528]

Hermosa, Luke. Aquí hay una canción cuya cualidad no solamente es ser inspiradora, profunda y propulsora de los sentimientos más variados y dulces, sino hacerlo sin caer en el lugar común del morbo colectivo en el que lo único que destacaría es por qué la escribió. Este tipo de canciones fácilmente pueden perder su significado frente a la persona o la razón por la cual fueron escritas, pero en este caso, solo la hace más especial de lo que ya era. Felicitaciones, realmente ustedes me salvan y son los artistas en los que más fe tengo. Los amo. Beautiful, Luke. Here's a song whose quality is be inspiring, profound and propulsive of the most varied and sweet feelings, but do not fall into the cliche of the collective curiosity in which the only thing that stand out is why he wrote it too. Such songs can easily lose their meaning against the person or why they were written, but in this case only makes it more special than it already was. Congratulations, you really saved me and you are the artists where I have more faith. I love you and sorry for my english.

[@saitoinosaka6445]

***** enserio?

[@matu1gaara]

***** El se la canta al papa que murio hace tiempo. El se pregunta si su padre esa orgulloso de las cosas que hizo.

[@saitoinosaka6445]

Me hizo llorar....

[@erik_guerrero]

True Blue a mi igual.

[@Anelim1313]

Lost my dad when I was 18. Same questions, same sadness, same loneliness. Thx Luke❤

[@2000luli]

AMAZING😭 Luke I love you and I bet your dad would be pretty proud of you. You've become such a wonderful human being, and u r so talented. I admire u, Idol! 💛✨

[@anatherezacampos]

I lost my dad recently. I've never thought about passing by these times the way I am right now. This song has been stuck into my head and I had to come back here. It has a total different meaning to me. May our hearts be healed and our fathers remembered in all history.

[@alisonshenton]

HIS DAD WOULD SO SO PROUD ❤️🦋🌈 I LOVE THAT HE SINGS I'VE LEARNT TO TIE MY OWN TIE SOMETHING HIS DAD OBVIOUSLY DID IT'S BEAUTIFUL 🌹🌹🌹

[@jodi-annhenry860]

This song is like so... I mean words cant even express :")

[@Pippi-rippi]

What a brilliant band. Glad I've known their music for a long time, truly inspiring. Xx

[@littlevicko04]

I miss you grandpa... every day, thanks for being my dad, my grandpa and my best friend. I’ll see you soon.

[@ethrelfall1]

this is absolutely beautiful, your dad would be incredibly proud xxx

[@MsJv99]

Great song. Great video. Great display of love and care for your father. He would be proud of you. Cheers man, you're lovely.

[@bethturner3772]

My dad died when I was 8 and this song sums up everything I feel about it. It's so sad but so beautiful.

[@hitsongsa]

The music industry is sleeping on this song!

[@KamiiloFreestyle8]

The Music Industry is dead, they only want to Nicky Minaj, Kanye West, and all those shitty 'artist', they don't listen to the good Music like this.

[@dmoody4628]

+Bakin 8 diff genre.. plus neither are shitty

[@kendomoe8623]

+Dime Damali neither? theres 3 artists listed and yes hey are fucking horrendous...

[@dmoody4628]

kendo moe im assuming you dont like hiphop music. Just because you dislike hiphop, doesnt mean those guys suck. Just not your vup of tea. Those artists have millions of fans

[@KamiiloFreestyle8]

Dime Damali​ Just because those artists have millions of fans, it doesn't mean they're good artists. Most of the "artist" you're saying are the most talentless.

[@aimannazri6472]

best album so far 1.konk 2.inside in inside out 3.junk of the heart 4.listen

[@t.t8996]

This song makes me feel happy and sad

[@altheethee]

gave me the worst case of goosebumps. tear-inducing

[@VeveTimao]

Música linda, video lindo. Mais do que merecida essa homenagem, até porque seu pai fez de você o músico que eu mais amo 😢💜

[@Joker2009yuyo]

I'm Japanese but in the U.S. now. This video made me wanna go back to Japan. Thanks for the great song and video.

[@lindseyjones1992]

My dad died last week completely unexpectedly.... I can't help but think that I will grow up without my dad for the rest of my life. I love this song so much.

[@momoskates3491]

Stay strong!

[@bZLxcz]

be strong

[@lindseyjones1992]

Update: I'm fine and we spread his ashes at the Sierra City Buets or however ya spell it.

[@sarahlikesmusic7347]

+Lindsey Jones I hope you still are doin okay. Have prayed that I hope you get through you're tough times

[@lindseyjones1992]

Totallybull I am not in a good financial situation and I am just getting kicked in the ass by life in general but other than tahts I'm still breathing so its okay.

[@caroc6088]

What a gem! Prettiest letter ever, how doesn't feeling proud of luke! :3

[@Ferssitah]

What a beautiful song... almost cried the first time I heard it!

[@franciscojunior8375]

My father has passed away when I was 1 yo and this song spoke to me so much, great job.

[@SrForesighT]

Debo decir que nunca llegué a escuchar esta banda, a pesar que tiene años en el mercado musical, pero nunca sentí ganas de escuchar alguna de sus canciones... Hoy KZbin me recomendó este tema y sinceramente fue la cosa mas placentera que pude escuchar... También por mera casualidad hablaba con un amigo sobre visitar Japon, sobre su cultura y su gente, espero que algun día tenga la dicha de visitar ese hermoso país :)

[@emmamcdonnell4398]

This song is so emotional. I'm literally crying my eyes out right now. It is such a good song and I'm sure your Dad would be so proud of you!!❤

[@maittaca]

I can see you. I love you. And your dad too, he's proud.

[@9marieta]

genuinely the lyrics are so strong,because although he could've kept those for himself, he decided to share with the world & luke it's such a beautiful gorgeous song, i don't know but i guess that little boy is proud and so would be his dad.

[@tyradeclyn2432]

is it weird that i absolultely adore their songs

[@ffrhtn2]

lost my dad 01 01 01 a great man and although a long time ago he is always in my heart, i lost my mum when i was eight years old and my dad brought five of us up, three of which where under the age of eight including me, he didn't drink or turn to drugs he was a great man and his passing was a difficult time for me...... god bless pop

[@PollyPopplestone]

Such a beautiful song, by a beautiful person, love the Kooks' new sound

[@paulinazaleska4338]

i just can't stop listening to it.Amazing

[@ftngie]

This song is so hard for me to listen to. It makes me think of my dad too. I've cried a few times listening to this track. He'd be proud, Luke...very.

[@telenowelowe]

Since I heard this song live this summer it gives me chills and makes me want to cry so badly.

[@kkpqueen]

OMG, He walked around Shibuya and Shinjuku..... I wish I could be there! And this song is pretty good.

[@iwantme1234]

I relate to this song in different way because I never knew my dad. He was a drug addict and took off on my mom. She said that he held me once when I was a baby. I don't even know if he is dead or alive and I have no way of finding out. I guess I'm grieving for the father I never knew.

[@s3aside]

This song was already meaningful to me and now I'm in tears with this explicit tribute for Luke's dad. Amazing video. Amazing song. Greatest band.

[@ashliepaigetwyford424]

Listened to you guys since I was lil girl, along with the libertines and good ol Jamie t. Your music is something else. Love you guys

[@amritabawa9725]

This is beautiful, it made me cry. So much respect for you guys. Your music is amazing. Your dad would be very proud ❤

[@derekpark9921]

This song is golden. How did I not heard this before?

[@reklamarocks]

I always cry when I hear this song, it's so beautiful..

[@JoshuaFrancis-m8o]

Dude respect man they'll be looking proudly down on there little boy

[@dominiquegregory3293]

This resonates so much to me right now. So so beautiful to listen to.

[@georgejedson]

LISTEN has my vote for best album of 2014. Fantastic !!!!

[@alicemoore2000]

Makes me cry every time I listen to this:(

[@fuunamine]

All the love for you, The Kooks! ♥

[@ovmcvov]

Saw the Kooks live on Thursday in Leeds, this song was amazing live

[@MorganC07]

I saw this performed a couple months ago and through out the whole song no one was screaming or anything just singing along and he sang it with so much emotion and passion. It was one of the most surreal, amazing moments of my life :)

[@danielolivares6814]

Man, i love this song...tears right now.

[@MrChrisKnight]

Masterpiece! plain and simple thankful for my pops

[@alisonshenton]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG ❤️ HE HIS PUTTING HIS 💖💖 HEART AND SOUL FOR HIS DAD IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL

[@ronanmarechal4968]

I lost my dad 2 month ago, im 32 but I still feel like im a little boy who needs his dad in this world. I miss his voice and his hugs.. I dont feel like I will recover from that. Hope now u dont suffer anymore daddy 💔

[@mysterymath1873]

It took me a long time to realize that he says "I learned to tie my own tie too" and not "I learned to dye my own tattoo"...You know, cause that's what fathers do!

[@somebodysnothere]

It's such a touching song!

[@FABIOLAMARTINEZGARDUÑO]

Rolita que se siente cañón

[@rookpoetry1322]

I tear up every time I hear this and father is still here. Truly amazing

[@miriamguerrero1384]

I never liked this song, until my grandfather wasn't here. He's now in heaven, I miss you! 💔
