[@kaydoran980]

This was my dad funeral song 1st time a ever heard it hits hard everytime I listen to it

[@penelopemarypenny7725]

This man has one of the best male voices. I have ever heard. Every time I listen. I love it more and more.

[@THECHRISTIANSTV]

what a lovely comment - come to a gig www.thechristianslive.co.uk

[@john47jones]

I seen them recently at oakengates theatre in telford, They're a great band and yes he's gotta great voice, And he's very approachable. He mixes with the fans After the show and will have a bit of chat, he's a lovely Bloke, hey and he even shook my hand 😎

@@THECHRISTIANSTV I am Italian and I have been listening to your music for about 30 years. Your music gives me goose bumps all the time.

[@icograf77]

@@THECHRISTIANSTV You were the first concert I saw in my life, I still can't understand how you finished playing in a disco, at the mountain, in my small town (Tolosa), but it was a great concert, I still have that old ticket, it must have 30 years already.

[@mahelebg2727]

My favourite ever...Reaches my soul, makes me regret all the things I haven't shared with my dad, all the things we couldn't talk about although he was at home every day. And now he's gone...Fortunately, by the will of our Almighty God my father will be raised from the dead, as many will be, and we will share eternity on this beautiful planet Earth restored into paradise. This is the promise of the true God Jehovah Who cannot lie, and I long for that moment so much.

[@paulgoldstein3590]

This is a quarter of a century old but utterly superb. Still. And forever. His voice is just about as good as it gets. Top song. Top, top song. Top band. Beautiful.

Got my brother into christians early 80's this was his favourite his name was Gary passed away in September this will always bring him back what a record what a voice.

"There's people turning bad, feeling sad, misunderstanding, and the world's gone mad. And you watch TV, and you shake your tortured head" Sad but so very true :( Great song.

[@didiervereecke7642]

One of the best bands ever. Perfect harmony, unique and amazing voice, great lyrics. Music with a big "M"! I really miss this kind of music with real instruments and real people.

Beautiful song, always reminds me of my wonderful father, god rest his soul

[@newton18311]

I never knew my Dad, although he died at 78. He went one way i went the other, Wish i knew him , This song reminds me of what i use to think,

[@abigailgodfrey4778]

Sorry... That must have been hard

[@Carmenetta-u1r]

I think of my beloved grandfather, didn’t know my dad either but my grandad was my saviour and security. Bless you….. thank you Gary

[@leolopez8544]

This summed up my years after mum died leaving dad to cope by himself. Giving everything and expecting nothing back but the right to live in peace. He passed last year leaving us to suffer these times. I miss his conversation his cooking his views of the world.

[@lizcilliers]

I resonate so much with your comment, Leo. Dad gave his all, even after mom died died, right to his dying day. He held on for his children, and I had to say " it's okay dad, we'll be alright. Go and rest from all your pain and suffering through the years". He died that night and I felt so alone and lost. Ten years later I still cry, and think of everyone who has lost a parent or a child. We don't get over things, we get through them, sometimes a day at time. Music like this brings back memories, tears and peace somehow.

[@leolopez8544]

@@lizcilliers thanks Liz X it's not a song I go back to often but sometimes when I think of him it just hurts. About a week before he died I heard his voice call my name in my house. By the time I got to the care home he was awake but gone like his spirit had left already and there was just a silent man laid there. Couldn't talk to him he wasn't registering.

[@lizcilliers]

@@leolopez8544 There is so much hurt and remorse around losing a parent and we feel like we failed them when we just couldn't get to them before they passed away. I have realized through the years that we need to find a way to forgive ourselves for all we just couldn't do, no matter how hard we tried. It is not easy and again I say, we don't get over things like the death of a loved one, we get through them. My thoughts are with you.

[@deadpaul6415]

Genuinely one of the best vocalist I’ve ever heard.

[@awwaller]

...very soulful. Such a powerful and memorable chorus.

[@Stello]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made ♥ And ever since 2008, it also reminds me of my dad's funeral - this was the perfect song to say goodbye..

Father you still and will always have a stake in my soul...

[@kalpBroken]

Esta bella cancion me saca siempre las lagrimas, hoy por ser Dia de los Padres mucho mas porque me recuerda mucho a mi Padre que hace tiempo ya se fue para siempre.

[@luisfalconmarquez388]

Tenía esta canción en algún lugar, dentro de mi mente desde los 18, cuando varias veces se la oí a mi padre, harto de varias drogas. Hoy mis padres ya están separados. Sigo en contacto con los dos pero con la distancia que provoca tan grande dolor. Con mi padre tratamos de recordar esta canción. Esta semana estuve con él en el hospital. MIs dos hermanos no hablan con él. No se lo reprocho y los respeto. Tantos sentimientos encontrados...

[@ghyslenelablack5656]

A chaque fois que j ecoute cette chanson je pense a mon pere qui est mort. Merveilleuse chanson, tres belle voix.

I love this song. A few years ago when me dad died, every night for the next few days I would put me headphones on and play it on loop and cry myself to sleep. That video by the way looks bonkers. It looks like the image stabilization is doing its job but the final edit hasn't been cropped and resized to hide all the moving edges (very simple to fix). It might have worked on a CRT TV screen, but is obvious on modern full screen players.

This song was on my mind all these years but I didnt know who sing it. Someone on television talked about "Words" by The Christians. The unique voice of the singer made me remember of this song "Father". I'm so happy to reconnect with it so beautiful and powerful.

[@VierC]

It's been days since years ago that you left. There are those who run away from their parents, those who know why ... There are those who run to never leave you ... Even though you know you have to leave .... And I, I still run, I walk, neither before nor behind you, but by your side ... PCT ... "You are in me forever" Father

Ecouté aujourd'hui, un Bijou. un véritable Joyau. Trop belle voix et musique aussi. Demain j'entendrai le mien de père la chantonner et il ne saura pas d'où ça vient ni ce que c'est comme chanson et comme d'habitude je lui ferai écouter ...Partagée. Merci Beaucoup pour ce moment d'actualité toujours, malheureusement que jamais rien ne change ,sur cette Terre, planète des Hommes. Question de mentalité, de volonté...Si ce n'est plus en plus un oiseau qui sifflera ça aussi !

[@fannywatt3401]

Wait a minute let me speak, Let me share the grief that lies behind your smile There's people turning bad feeling sad, misunderstanding And the world's going mad You watch TV, and you shake your tortured head And I watch the world And I really think we might be better off Father, you've been a long time so lonely Hear me now, Father You've got a stake in my soul, so console me I need it now, we need it now Genocide reveals the foulest swoop The sweetest lips received the soured fruit again A killer swears he's just a thief A thief declares he's just a victim of kinds And I watch the world, and there really isn't more to life than dying Father, you've been a long time so lonely Hear me now, Father You've got a stake in my soul, so console me I need it now, we need it now
