Lucy Spraggan "Dear You"

I've been waiting so long to get this video out to you. This song is called 'Dear You' and it holds such a special place in my heart.
This song is about the impact mental health can have on us; whether you are the person suffering or you are a friend or family of someone who isn't well. I think the most vital thing to remember is that if you are in either of those situations or something similar, it's time to reach out.
There are so many people who can help and it's remembering that in the darkest times that is the most important. Being able to put songs like this out there helps me get along with my own demons, so thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do so ❤️
This is the first video I’ve co-directed, alongside Damien Reeves at Noisebox Films. Big thanks also to Thomas Turgoose!

How is this woman not a massive star? She's hugely talented

[@chelseaskrr1958]

Adam White - she had to leave X factor which meant she didn’t get a deal which meant everyone forgot about her unfortunately. Hopefully some time soon she’ll do a hit song and get in the light again !

[@ChaseM-jg1tr]

Exactly she’s such an amazing singer

[@breezegaming7720]

90 percent of people just like looks than oure talent

[@dbagaming339]

AGREEEDDDDDD we love you Lucy

[@jamesharrison2763]

Because she uses her British accent and refuses to Americanize her music. She writes what she wants. And she is better than they are. Her song writing is better than Ed Sheerans. Just saying.

[@PowaShammy]

Came here to see how that lovely Lucy Spraggan was doing I saw on X-factor many a moon ago. And now it seems I have something stuck in my eye. Looks like she's going just fine.

[@hilaryrose8853]

I am a wrinkly, disabled pensioner, and had the honour to recently see Lucy in Nottingham. Absolutely amazing. Your storytelling in your music is so emotional. I cried a few tears on several occasions. Well done Lucy.

[@JahmeneOfficial]

This is incredibly emotional. Your story telling is excellent ... the melody is hard hitting and so fitting. Lucy ... this is brilliant. You shine with such a humble light that highlights beautifully honest moments in peoples lives and stories. Proud of you!

[@stev9984]

+Max Headroom lol

[@sarahLindsay-jj1sw]

anyone know the guitar chords for this ?? Lucy is my absolute favourite and I would love to play this song if anyone knows the chords it would really be appreciated

[@darylparker1219]

"you took your own life last July" this line have me chills even though I sort of felt it coming, such a heartbreakly beautiful song

[@patchpepper9354]

At 58 i am probably not the normal type of follower of Lucy's. I first got to know about her by accident when my daughter was watching a KZbin video of her. I since have listened to most of her music........She has the gift of playing with all of your emotions and takes you on a journey to peace and happiness. Very talented song writer and will have a great future in the business.

[@jiznimore]

A true artist touches souls and age doesn't matter.

[@dj_grim]

I am nearly as old as you, 55, and I saw her live last year whilst that was still a normal thing to do. I was obviously not the typical person there either but I have seen a lot of artists live, and there was one primary thing I found fascinating about her performance compared with others, and that is that even when she was playing a song I didn't know, she was able to virtually teach it to us before and then perform it and we could enjoy it and sing along to it. This song wasn't on her playlist, I think it may be too emotional for her to perform. She has recently recovered from alcohol addition (recently being within the last year or two).

[@Oliviawww164]

I’m 60 and feel the same. Appreciation of beauty, has no age limit. It is what it is xx

[@VTAMLST]

This actually made me cry, such an amazing yet emotional song

[@adelegill]

This hits home because I worked for my friend. I then got a better job and left. We always kept in touch. One day I called him to find out if he still has my cd walkman... his brother answered and said that he killed himself... I was devastated... I called his mom 10 years later to talk about everything. The reason that it bothered me so much is because a person that knew him told me that after I left his company fell apart and he killed himself over financial problems... wish I could talk to him.

[@beckymoore8162]

Last year when she giged in stoke I heard her sing this before it had a name, my heart sank and I cried in a crowded room, this hit my heart on so many levels

[@doeevennormaalman]

Lucy Spraggan performes on a higher level then Adele. Voice, lyrics and total performance. Hands down for Lucy Spraggan.

[@michaelmonkman6190]

I absolutely love lucy spraggen shes saved my life plenty of times

[@rival480]

It's been a while since I've felt such deep emotions stirring from within when I listened to a song...

[@playmarret]

Lucy is terribly underrated, i can't believe that singer like she doesn't have that popularity like fr example Harry Styles or smone else, this is just unbelieveble how she's underestimated

[@tommorse2387]

DAMN DUDE... this girl has incredible skill, lyrically, expression, how am i so late to this person!

[@Rach-db9vx]

so talented I wish your musics were on the radio.

[@jessb2408]

I remember standing at the back of Portsmouth Wedgewood rooms listening to this when you played there. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard in my life. This song hurts, it always will but it’s perfect at the same time. Thank you Lucy

[@helenahyeminyeo7979]

Never thought i would cry because of a song

[@izzyyrichardson3982]

Helena, Hye Min Yeo Me too 😭

[@samwilcox123]

i love this so much.. as a guy suffering badly with depression and always feeling on the edge of ending things, this song sends a really powerful message :(

[@alyxjauregui9811]

I just got so many goosebumps and shivers. ..wow

[@joshuacreel3000]

You are inhumanly gifted at making me cry but still like the song.

[@georgiacolebrook7147]

Oh my days she is so incredible and deserves so much more views and likes

[@jimg1504]

I'm in Montana...in the USA. This song is SO relevant even here. Suicide comes with a stigma that silences. Using your music for reaching those struggling is beautiful and intelligently thoughtful. Way to be!!!!

[@blingo69]

As usual, a meaningful and evocative song that tugs at the heart strings and deals with those issues which others run a mile from. You're 25 and I'm 65 and your songs touch the hearts that others fail to do. Good on you, so keep up the honesty and I will continue to buy your cds and support you in any way I can.

[@Eddygeek18]

That has to bed the single most emotional song i have ever listened too still crying and my god that hit hard Lucy you are a words smith you know what you are doing when it comes to lyrics just keeping doing you and my god the rest will follow loves everyword and the tears on my face love it too.

[@HannahSmith-nk8qt]

To this day that some still gets me

[@Jdpetrass]

The best musical story teller of our generation I think... This song brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it...

[@dennybell3578]

Very powerful song brought a tear to my eye

[@maryjaneholland4281]

Lucy Spraggan, you are something else, you are an amazing story teller/vocalist/musician. When you sing I can actually visualise your words playing out. I have only really done that when I listen to John Lennon. you're brilliant hope all your dreams come true X

[@prettythang754]

How is Lucy not having millions of views and followers and fans. She’s talented, unique and amazing. Her music is one of a kind. I hope 2019 helps you to progress with the views and fans you need. You should be fucking famous

[@bobbiandcaitlin2005]

This is so inspirational I've been suffering with mental health for so long now and it's songs like this that are helping me get through all my demons. This song pretty much sums up how I'm feeling at the moment Thankyou Lucy for always managing to read my mind❤️

[@zotharr]

Dear you, You, who are still tryin hard You're awesome, never give up

[@JellyStones42]

[@emilywalker9065]

[@fenrirwolfbone9714]

Been almost a year since a freind took his own life. This hits me where I live

[@wanderingwords3835]

Got a letter from a friend a year or so after I moved to a different state. I was busy with school, and terrible at writing back. Never did manage to reply to him. A month or so later, his estranged wife sent me his obituary. He managed to OD on prescription meds while under care at the veteran's hospital. This reminded me of that.

[@charlottepurnell]

this reminds me of my grandad hes not on holladay....... it hurts thankyou for the closure i needed.... im sorry for this emotinal post but this song realy effected me....

[@brianbru]

When your faith in modern music is on the wane it's refreshing to see such a clever lyricist coming through. Excellent and well thought out song. Amazing delivery too!

[@MH-zy3dv]

Wow, that hit home. A few years ago when I lost my mum, my awful neighbours relentlessly tortured me to the brink, 24/7. On what I'd decided was my final day, a complete stranger saw my desperation and 'talked me down from the ledge' or I'd not be here now. I've been open about how bad I was that day and no one can believe I came within minutes of doing the deed because they say they say they see me as confident, strong, funny and determined ... I saw none of that in me at that point; thanks to a stranger, I've had time to get away from the monsters where I lived and move on ... but the flashbacks still haunt now and again. This song really nails that feeling of hopelessness that I thankfully rarely get now. I just hope it can inspire people to listen to those with issues because no one saw it coming with me but a stranger. Thanks Lucy. X

[@grimm430]

This is beautiful. I can relate to this, and it's perfect.

[@kallisavage5923]

It's Sean from This Is England!

[@whydidimakeayoutubeaccount7677]

I can't remember the last time I found a musician that touched me as much as you. I just stumbled upon your music and....I...thank you for awaking emotions in me that I thought had dissapeared completely in the depths of numbing depression. great work

[@joeunderwood1711]

such an emotional song, gave me chills and tears in my eyes. Lucy you always know how to make a simple but elegant song.

[@Sindrake]

300,00 Views only? one of the few songs that makes you cry..... Lucy You are beyond Awesome I can't wait to hear more from you!!!!

[@melissaburris2696]

I'm literally bawling oh my gosh. This is amazing.

[@tracywestern1983]

I've been a fan since Lucy was one x factor. Her songwriting and story telling skills are second to none. Lucy is honest and open with her fans about what she's been through in her life. She's an amazing artist and person. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolalbuquerque910]

why this doesnt have 1 million or more views? so, so amazing that just blows my mind

[@lozengar23]

Words cannot describe how much I love this song, such an inspiration lucy❤️

[@bellaanna6806]

💛 love how all her songs have a story and real meaning 💛

[@Krusher1988]

Have been following lucy for years now, heard this song when it came out. Had a re-listen a week ago, it has been stuck in my head since.

[@andrewlee5925]

I've heard many emotional songs, but never cried. Sometimes I just can't. But this.......this made me cry. It hit hard when she said that the person took their life last July, because I tried to do the same too. I had to go to hospital, had to be wired up to a machine and put on a drip due to the tablets being in my blood stream. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for five years, it's been really hard at times. The only advice I can give is just to speak to somebody, get help. Don't shut yourself away, speak out......because somebody will listen.

[@martinfalland220]

I heard this song on the radio today (MDR Kultur, german) and ... have no words... Excellent! I love it!

[@peterdoe2617]

Thank you, Lucy! This one,again; is so intense. Crazy good. Sad, but true: I just was at a concert with a friend. And her friend told her that a friend had called her, just some days ago: "Can you come around? I'm feeling desperate." But she had other plans. The next day, she was informed that this friend took her life, that same night. So, tjis song really is hitting a spot, here. Your ability, to make things like that into words, into even songs: is amazing! Lots of hugs from the far north of Germany!

[@adellelince6142]

Sister has mental health problems. This song does really come out to me because I'm only 11 and I've struggled a lot.

[@vpraveenkumar1202]

sorry for your struggle. all of us can give you advice and sympathy. But, honestly at 11 you are strong and doing things what most of us can't do. well done and don't give up on your sister.

[@linarahhal3712]

[@_x3o_]

I'm so sorry :'(

[@shannaghstrudwick6707]

So does my sister, this has been a real struggle for me as im sure it has for you, if you need/want to talk to me about it or want some advice message me i will always help, you are so strong, it is so hard to go through childhood helping with a family member with mental health, you are so strong and amazing! KEEP FIGHTING BOTH YOU AND YOUR SISTER YOU CAN BEAT IT!

[@dennisc.millerassociates1257]

this is a powerful video and song that does a wonderful job of demonstrating how we can get lost in the darkness of depression- completely oblivious to the fact that people care for us

[@anneadamsfilmphotos]

Amazing, so thought provoking. Well done Lucy. 💗

[@pernobabe]

Love it Lucy, emotional 😢 hits you in the stomach 👊🏻 you never know what goes through people's minds

[@thormaster06]

[@gemmanewman3289]

Makes me think of the good friends I've lost in life amazing singer Lucy spraggan 🎶🎵

[@jamiemacalevey5509]

I watch this for the first time today and it made me fucking cry. I lost my sister last year and it killed me but I have hardly shown it. This made me sit and really I mean really think of her. So thank you so so much for making me feel something.

[@1blueyedgirl1]

Your songs never fail to make me cry.

[@T700Run]

I've always loved Lucy spraggan's music, I remember watching her on Britain's got talent and I loved it. Especially tea & toast and last night

[@ourstereohome]

This makes the heart, the soul, the very depth of you ... ache ...

[@user-vb2hv8pq8i]

this song is amazing. It gave me goosebumps! for the past four years I've been struggling with my mental health. This song is just so great, I'll be listening to it on repeat now!!! thank you Lucy for such an important song.

[@jiznimore]

Oh, please keep going, you are amazing.

[@booklover8546]

Beautiful. I’ve only just come back to this after 3 years and it’s the best feeling in the world to hear music like you’ve heard it for the first time all over again after a little while ❤️

[@jacquelinenorman5724]

Incredible, you're such a talent! Don't ever stop story telling of real life, wow!

[@evtigger1643]

is that you walking by at 1:44? beautiful song, beautiful video.

[@Von-1976]

Well spotted 👍

[@tamaracatalano7421]

Brave subject, beautiful lyrics. You have an amazing talent for telling stories through music and connecting with your audience.

[@doodlebugcandiecane]

I'm sad this had to come from personal experience but I am glad there was that moment when you realized that you could come to an end but you couldn't put your dog through death with you. I am happy that you now seem to be happy with your partner in your new marriage and that you have found someone to share your life with, the good and the bad. You are a brilliant story teller and I hope you never stop sharing your "stories" with us, I think they have already made a large impact on many people! Tea and Toast gave me comfort after the death of my Dad and for that I thank you! I wish you blessings in all your endeavors!

Numbers of views are completely unreliable: I've often seen them change from one click to another (I don't know if the likes/dislikes are as unreliable). Let's hope this has in fact 1 billion views and 1M likes - it deserves it!!

[@imogenrowe8505]

Such a powerful, emotional song. I have tears in my eyes, very emotional. Beautiful, and such a meaningful message. I battled through depression so this song means a lot to me, thank you Lucy for spreading such an important message. You're so talented, such an amazing songwriter and musician
