William Prince - That's All I'll Ever Become [Official Video]

[@heidistandell9496]

You nailed it Mr Prince. I know I am going to die one day, and I know my girl will live on, and she'll be ok, meet her fears and her challenges and her pain and her future with courage because that's who she is. But I wish I could be there to ...well just be there, until the second last day of her life, even if she doesn't need me to be there at all.

[@user-jv6ph1ms8d]

Honestly, how could you dislike this?? It's pure art! It's extremely saddening to see this only has 25k views.. stay strong Mr William, you're perhaps the most pure artist I'll ever know

[@susanmalone2481]

44,500 views now. :) That is a good thing!

[@natausheadunn3048]

Yes he is can't get enough of listening 🎧 to his music music that makes your ears listen your heart ❤️ melt and your soul at ease and happy tears that's all I ever become

[@anita64]

One year on and 83k views but only 1.5k likes. Can't understand why he didn't get more likes. He's got such an amazing voice!

[@MrRoundthetwist]

Get over it. Enjoy it for yourself. The rest you speak of is just vapour.

[@chipiy1]

I was thining the same.... such a smooth, lovely and honest voice.

[@barn49]

"I want to live to the second last day that my children do", hit me in all the feels.

[@gotDIBS]

John Prine would be proud

[@salgreco1969]

Firstly, I am not a country music fan [house music actually] but I first heard Mr. Prince's voice the other day on CBC radio 2 & I was memorized by his haunting voice. I felt compelled to find out more. Hearing/watching this song suddenly brought my to tears. My wife & I are parents to a wonderful 5 year old boy and this song struck at the core of what I think it means to be "dad" Thank you, William Prince. :-)

[@robjawa5909]

Life, and music, are about figuring out what really matters. William Prince is one of the rare, gifted, moving artists who got that truth and conveys it better than anyone I know. Thank you, William Prince, for yet another beautiful and moving song and video. Breathless these earthly days I am -- thank you.

[@kelleyfarrar8802]

I adore William Prince... But this song hits me so hard. I was not able to have children; I would've given ANYTHING to have been able to experience what this song describes. 💔

[@bettykrueger7111]

❤ 😢

[@jackiejones4328]

I lost my daughter & 17 days later my husband passed in January of 2022. Your songs calm me, melt me and bring back lovely memories. Thank you for your beautiful songs. You are so “real” & the world needs more of YOU! 🙏 🌎 ❤

[@georgemelvin880]

Awww, so sorry about your loss Jackie. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺😢

[@ChillOkayy]

Maaan I love this guy. I don't even know him and My heart Loves him dearly. His music is fuel for the soul.

[@sandralindberg8548]

Looking forward to his concert in Edmonton tonight.

[@georgemelvin880]

Smiles, hello Sandra 🌺😊

[@kmarchery]

This song guts me ,every time I have heard it . Love my babies ,and miss my dad . Live long Mr Prince . Thanks for the poetry .

[@TheFroperson]

Congrats on going to the Grande Ole Oprey. Your voice and music is beautiful. 👍 2023, Hannora, Mohawk Woman

[@travisresistancesupport]

I was absolutely blessed to win a contest to see you perform this album the day before it was released in Toronto. It hasn't lost any of the greatness since the first time I got to hear it! Thank you Mr. Prince!

[@Integritydefins]

Tell me your dreams Make them as big as you can So then they have the best chance of maybe working out Sometimes nothing works out sometimes Don't be alarmed Don't shy away when you're in the wrong I can testify to what it's like being Lost inside yourself, a personal hell I wanna live to the second last day that my children do Selfishly so I can see them through And all that they become That's all I'll ever become Spend it all Every last bit that you have If you need to buy back the piece you lost To the upkeep of renting a room for your soul I can see how Every last downfall of man Could one day lead to the end if we can't find harmony And treat others like we'd like to be treated Fair I know it's not really fair That don't mean the outcome you should Be decided solely by the income of people Who don't need it for livin' Still... I wanna live to the second last day that my children do Selfishly so I can see them through And all that they become That's all I'll ever become

[@WarrenPostma]

I'm not crying. Okay. I'm crying. Thank you William.

[@aaronreimer]

As a father of two, this song captures every day life of being a dad.

[@gltam1057]

Wow 😮😢❤, so beautiful, thank You and God Bless You. 🙏

[@johnwilson4389]

My son sent me this in reponse to a my learning as I aged how focussed I felt for my children & grandchildrens health, happiness n safety. In addition my gratitude to them. A poignant n important poetic lyric. Empathetic!

[@kerryjeffrey4844]

The definition of what a great compassionate man should be.

[@winterq-tf7cv]

I heard this on the radio and had to stop to write it down. Beautiful song, as a newly empty nester it just hits home💯🙏💗

[@willow67EMTP]

William was just in Edmonton and did a fabulous show!! Such a great voice!!

[@thurmanjuan]

Me and my dad came straight here from 5 Watt World... This was the first thing we clicked on and now my dad is crying. 😝🤪👍🏼✌🏼❤️🎸🤘🏼

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I also found out through Kieth's video just now. Can't bring myself to wipe away the last sweet tear yet. So happy I heard this song first. Even though I have no children of my own, this is how I feel about all children, about all of us. Everyone was born innocent.

[@chrismcewen4141]

Right. I cant stop crying. Try Breathless. My wife is away and i miss her so much i sent her Breathless video and sat at my desk at work and Cried. Beautiful!!!

[@dustinmattie8970]

Man, I’ve fallen in love with your voice and music. Thanks William Prince!

[@joravlin4902]

I work at a residential program for kids & teens. My job is to support parents. I listen to this song throughout the day to find my center and remind myself to project from a kind and understanding heart.

[@davidfagan6930]

"But I want to live ..'til the second last day that my children do.....selfishly, so I can see them through in all that they become.".......I wish I could squeeze a gorgeous line like that--out of a pen. Pure gold......What a phrase.........speechless.

[@andrelaurin2161]

This is parental love. You have put words to the feelings I’ve had since becoming a father. TY!

[@carolpage6053]

💙

[@kimparke6653]

Why aren't indigenous people playing Williams's music on all their stations is the question of the day!

[@mresch8]

I can certainly testify about being in my own personal hell...

[@gaurdianwatchmen7796]

Man. I love this song. My first child is a boy. And i love him with all my heart. I had him when i was 20 years old and i wouldnt change a thing in my life.

[@mikekruschinske6963]

Incredibly Beautiful Song. I love the way she explains how she found the raptor😅

[@kathleenfroese1606]

Wow, just cry every time I hear this beautiful, simple song that speaks to the heart of life. Saw this amazing artist at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival this past summer, and was struck speechless. I never knew about him, but now he is my favorite Canadian artist beside the incomparable Blue Rodeos Jim Cuddy

[@georgemelvin880]

Smiles, absolutely beautiful Kathleen, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺😊

[@robertbauer6723]

You are a poet and philosopher, and bonus, a story teller. Your words are meaningful, helpful, important

[@davebragg5093]

I couldn't agree more i just discovered this artist this year and I'm hooked. When i go camping he'improves an already magical atmosphere.

[@traceygoudie1767]

Thank you for your artistry! Thank you for the wonderful concert in Ottawa. What a pleasure to be part of your gifted voice, Mr Prince.

[@georgemelvin880]

Smiles, hello Tracey 🌺😊

[@rhonw468]

Watching you sing this at your Workshop in Canmore was incredibly moving after having seen this music video a few times. It brought back so many wonderful memories with my son when he was much younger. It’s so wonderful to see him take off on his own and yet so hard. Thank you

[@OhtobeinIreland]

William, Canada loves you!!!❤️

[@Trish-q7v]

His voice is calming.

[@bettynesbitt4503]

I can see your soul when you sing, i just want to give you a big hug

[@georgemelvin880]

Smiles, hi Betty 🌺😊

[@georgew.spradlin8333]

I heard this for the first time on Sunday and this song tells exactly how I feel about my children and seeing them through.

[@sylviahentrich7172]

What a voice ❤

[@donovanjones4175]

Just heard him in a Telus commercial, this is so beautiful, I am gonna tell everyone about this amazing poet. Thank you for this Mr. William.

[@bettystokes836]

Love everything about this fine artist! A voice that's a mix of wood smoke and Jim Reeves! Lyrics that speak to life and to my heart! A huge intellect! Thanks for being here now...I needed your voice, words and thoughtfulness.
