I was a single parent in early 80's. This reminds me of my son and me. Free birds. I miss him.. I miss those times. He is my avatar. He was killed in an accident. I love you Nathan. Hold on to the ones you love.
This. This is what life is about. Not having a career. Not money, not status or fame, not anything like this. It's about moments like these. Time is priceless. Love, nature... That's the real richness. The best things in life are not things, as the saying goes. What a great song and message and what a fitting video. Amazing work.
I'm estranged from a very toxic family. But I've met a very special man that saved me from the darkest of depths and 10 years later, we have two loving kids and a close knit group of friends that are closer than my blood family. Counting my blessings every day. ❤
Sorry for your pain! Perfect love flows from above. You are precious and wonderfully made! He knows your hurts and loves you perfectly never to cast you away. May we love others in this manner too!
Such a wonderful thing ❤ Same story as mine but I haven't met anyone special yet. I still hope if someday someone going to give me unconditional love and will I ever be happy again. May God bless you
Same thing happened to me,Came from a very toxic family and my husband now saved me from that,now counting our first year of marriage and forever to go
Love this melody, love the lyrics, hate my family, fighting through this tough life because everyone in my neighbourhood chooses religion, feeling like I don't belong anywhere because I'm diagnosed different, all because of you, Jezus.
This special song reminds me, of a precious daughter that I lost too soon. I knew, I was blessed with her. I wish, I had this song to give her, to say how I felt. I couldn’t have said it any better. Somewhere in Heaven, she is listening to it as I am now. Forever grateful Hollow Caves Thank you 🦋🥀🦋 A Mother
It's funny, as I watched this for the first time my husband was playing with our two year son... Despite his incredibly demanding job, he always has the energy to play with our son everyday, and they both love it and are so happy. This is something everyday I'm so grateful for. Sometimes when I get caught up in the trivial or insignificant things, listening to one of your songs helps me slow down and cherish every moment I can have with my children while they are young.
Aww I feel this so deeply as this is my story. I work night shifts and come home exhausted but still manage to make time for my two active little boys. Sometimes It weighs on me but I will never trade my time with them for anything.
His little heart hurts and I'm his grandmother. God please touch my sons heart and soul so that he may see that his son, my grandson, needs his love. The love i cannot give him myself 😢 these are the days we cannot get back..time goes by so quickly and all of the moments missed are priceless. Blessings to all the small children missing the love of a parent.❤
Sunlight fell and reminded me that life can be So gracious sometimes And I felt like everything around me Was connected somehow At night I hear the rhythm of the ocean As it breaks on the shore And I think about all the things that I am grateful for And they say, "Hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you" And they say, "Hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through" Sometimes I get a little bit еmotional when I see love unfold Two hearts bound by rеflections of the memories They'll forever hold And they say, "Hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you" And they say, "Hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through" There are blessings all around you Open up your eyes Feel the sunlight fall upon you Let it free your mind There are blessings all around you Take a step outside Let your heart shine in a new light See it come alive And they say, "Hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you" And they say, "Hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through"
we need more men to be FATHERS like this. my dad wasn't always around and often chose not to be there... but when he was... it was just like this. I know he had his reasons for opting out. he's a veteran, betrayed by his country and government for a lost cause war. he lost plenty of loved ones in that war and lost a few more later as a result of it. He lost his sister to cancer when she was still in her prime. his dad died in his arms - after years of being estranged and not talking even though they lived nextdoor to each other. he was there the day his heart stopped. he resuscitated him and only had minutes to say he was sorry and that he loved him before he died. Twenty years later his mom died in the same house. her illness was the only thing that brought him and his remaining sister back together. they had to swallow their pride and get over their differences in order to help their mom in her final days. I look at pictures of him when he was still a kid, wild and barefooted like this one, and I wish I could have known him before all the bad things happened.. at the age of eight years old he had a pony and dog and a 22 rifle. he would live like a cowboy in the wilds of north Florida, pretending to be Paladin, because that was better than hanging around a mean, cheating drunk that was supposed to be his father. But he would always be home in time to take care of his responsibilities. he always worked hard at any job while in school. Joined the Marines when he was 18. Saw the world and almost died. He lived in California and a few other places with people I'll never get to meet. He might even have a few more kids we don't know about. He's an old man now, and he's trying his best to make up for his absence and selfishness through the years. he was in survival mode for most of his life and half of mine, and I forgive him for it. I'm glad he has a relationship with his grandkids. But i say all of that just to say.... if you're a father.... you probably have no idea how valuable you are at this age. you are setting a foundation for their future. Put your phone down, turn off your social media. ignore the outside world that's calling YOU away from your kids, and go play with them. go for walks, ride some bikes, swim, climb trees, build forts, sing songs, make up silly names for each other and make believe games. Your time to do these things is running out. they dont want distractions, they want YOU.
Hello, your testimony really touched me, I'm Brazilian, and I have 2 children, and I would really like to be able to connect with you. Please, if you could give me a contact so we can communicate. I'm sorry but my English is very simple, but I promise to try my best.
When I used to listen Hollow Coves music. I noticed few people are listening them.Now it’s getting high every day. Good to see that a good number refined listeners here with Hollow Coves. Blessings to all ❤
I am 49 in this year of 2024. I lost everything and more due to addiction. I've been clean 14 days from a terrible addiction. Every addiction is Terrible, I miss my daughter and wife. I am struggling today however I will make it.
Stay in the light my friend..I am driving a school bus now and learning to love myself and appreciate every second on this magical earth..your right where you are supposed to be and God is with you. Thank him and thank yourself for your perseverance. You are strong and you will do great things..and so it is
❤❤❤❤ god bless you with much love and light- never give up on your self. You Are love and light. I send you much healing light and love in Jesus lovly almighty name i pray Amen ❤🎉Halleluja
15 years ago, I was that kid playing with my old man. I could not have asked for a better childhood, this video stirred up so many emotions and made me realise how much I miss him. I hope y'all have something to hold on too. Wishing y'all happiness.
Ya'll have no idea how many lives you touch with your music. You have no idea how many people you have SAVED with your music. From the bottom of my heart........ thank you. Thank you so, so much.
"There are blessings all around you Open up your eyes Feel the sunlight fall upon you Let it free your mind There are blessings all around you Take a step outside Let your heart shine in a new light See it come alive" This is the part that always brings me hope when I feel myself slipping. I'll belt it out along with the song, feeling the tears at the corners of my eyes...but feel the warmth I need to keep moving forward. I'm glad it's helped you so much too. 🧡
I’m a single father that struggles to see my 6yo old boy and this really hit home. I k ow how precious time is. If there’s any other dads in the same position, keep going, don’t give up, your not alone. Thankyou for this song..🙌
Make every second with him count, let him know he his loved and no matter what, he always can count with you and your love and that's all he needs, he will understand everything when he became grown up.
My dad never did this to me till he passed away, i wish he did before. But I finally understand the struggle and the sacrifice he did to earn money far from family go to work in a different island just to make our family keep living and make sure my family have better life and future. I miss My dad so much.
I lost my best friend (last year ) … also happened to be my “First born “son… he was a gift from God ! This young man, excelled at everything and was more human than most , more tuned in and just Alive!, more connected to an understanding that we all have a roll to play in the big picture. Saying”Dad “everything is going to be ok ! ! He would say! For me… personally humility, faith and grace that is the key ,to prosperity ! The lives we touch along the way, the word or jester, that delivers a person from the confusion and confines of this karnal world holding everyone in its circuitry 🎉, that is tuned to fail !! Just be sure to Say “ I love you! As many times as possible . Don’t procrastinate you not promised tomorrow! It might just save a life! I love u son! I miss you everyday! Tell momma I miss her too! I’ll be seeing y’all shortly!❤ Life is so short, be nice to one another! Give Christ a minute of your time. if you want life, He will never deny you! ✌️🤗💕 Just ask him to revile to you what it is your missing or not getting.. he will , your life will be so fruitful ! Since his passing .. .. easy to get sad, I have 2 new grandchildren the boy is just like C” , the girl already getting spoilt!! Lol
My son was born 4 days ago. I feel like I was meant to find this song. I am still having trouble seeing myself as a father, or figuring out what my place in his life is supposed to be. I think this helps a lot with putting things into perspective. I just want to leave this world with my son saying "my father was a good man"
I love you. 💙 And you're the best father. You have no idea how my heart swells when i see you holding him and giving him love. He will always look to you for everything in this life. I can't wait to see who we will all grow into, who we will become. The two loves of my life. Thank God.
It's tough brother. Life has a way of making you lose perspective and sight of things that we might not even know mean the most to us. Hang in there. Hopefully we'll all get there InshAllah. Stay blessed. Loads of Love coming to you all the way from Islamabad
Just be you, love him unconditionally, laugh with him, believe in him, encourage him every day. You are enough, exactly the way you are - you were chosen to be his Daddy. 💖 😊 🙆🏻♀️ 🌿 👍🏾 If you are ever stuck, think about the things you would love from "the best kind of father" in his situation, and you'll be great! 😊 God bless you abundantly as you both raise your precious son together, and as you maybe have more precious children. 😁 Our children learn from our facial expressions and our actions more than anything else. 🌿🏡❤️
My dad sent me this song the day my 6 year old daughter was getting out of the Childrens Hospital after battling RSV and Bacterial Pneumonia for 4 days. I'm definitely feeling blessed. ❤️ Beautiful song. 😭
My children lost their father recently and they are young..... this reminds me so much of the bond they had with their daddy. You never know when you could lose someone so tragically and unexpectedly. Be grateful for every moment. Life can change in an instant. Your entire life can change in a second and this song reminds of what's most important .
Thank you for your sharing . I am humbled by your loving words . I send you a huge hug filled with love from a great grandmother who also knows how important it is to love and cherish every moment. Your children have a special mother who is here to remind them of the loving father…they are blessed as you are… in every memory he is with you🕊️🌸
to all who read this, and all who don't...sending you infinite peace, perfect health, abundant wealth, joyous freedom, and unconditional love... 🙏🏽💚💚💚💚💚🙌🏽
Love, love, love! This is heartwarming and so beautiful 😍 I'm blown away again by your music once again and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't shed a tear here..
I had a wonderful childhood and my dad was a huge part of it. I lost him a year ago. I come here every time I miss him and watch this on repeat. So grateful for this song, it soothes my heart. ❤️
Sunlight fell and reminded me that life can be so gracious sometimes And I felt like everything around me was connected somehow Mm At night I hear the rhythm of the ocean as it breaks on the shore And I think about all the things that I am grateful for And they say, hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you And they say, hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through Sometimes I get a little bit emotional when I see love unfold Two hearts bound by reflections of the memories they'll forever hold And they say, hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you And they say, hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through There are blessings all around you Open up your eyes Feel the sunlight fall upon you Let it free your mind There are blessings all around you Take a step outside Let your heart shine in a new light See it come alive And they say, hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you And they say, hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through
This song is absolutely beautiful! But when watching the video, I also interpreted the song as maybe an adult seeing the world through a child's eyes! The joy, simplicity, and love that our inner child craves. Either way, I love this song. 😍❤
I think that I need to be saved ! I need to do all things that song suggests, open up my eyes, a step out side, let the light shine but I wish hug my dog that passed way , missing you Bruce , I will keep you in my heart forever
Yesterday marked 2 years since my big brother passed away. July 30th 2020. Yesterday was also the first time I heart this song and I think it’s a lesson that I’ve been learning more and more but have yet to put words to. You guys have done it though. It’s true…hold onto the ones you love and keep them close bc when they leave…they are gone. But as I grow and continue to live past the passing of my brother I’ve learned more and more to appreciate what I still have. Life is so hard, but there’s are still so many blessings in my life and just because time stopped for awhile and just because life is hard doesn’t mean that’s all life is. This song really hit. It’s a reminder to keep living and loving because time is fleeting. So hold onto those you love and make the best of it
Loved the video. Keep up the great work. Don't call things Holy that aren't Holy its blasphemy which is sin. Don't swear or sudo swear its sinful. Don't say or laugh at inappropriate things its sinful. Luck doesn't exist its blessings from the Good Lord Jesus Christ. Don't say the Good Lord Jesus Christs Holy name in vein its blasphemy which is a sin. Only the Good Lord Jesus Christ is the one true God no one else can compare to Him. The Good Lord Jesus Christ is the only good person. The Good Lord Jesus Christ is Lord or Lords and King of Kings. He is the only true Lord and the only True King. Trust in the Good Lord Jesus Christ not yourself. Amen. God Send. God Bless You All. Amen. God Send. Please if you haven't already repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ As Lord And Savior. Praise The Good Lord. Please Get Saved. Please repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ As Lord And Savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son and whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Love you guys. God Bless You All. Amen. God Send. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. God Bless You All. Amen. God Send.
Parenthood, 1 of life's greatest experiences. You lose selfihness n gain gratitude, foresight, n humilty. In this day of ubiquitous divorce, children need their fathers more than ever. Beautiful lyrics, soothing melody n a haunting cinematography. Magic. Thank you Saudações de Mêxigo.
Absolutely beautiful in every way. From the smile on the little boys face to the smile on dads face. The music, this song. Beautiful, cherish every moment. I'm smiling.
Absolutely beautiful song and such inspiring lyrics! So true! There are blessings all around us - all we need just to open our eyes and see and just be grateful to the Lord for what we have. Thank you!!!❤️
Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤
I can't explain wat am feeling but I think am in love with the songs lads. There is something I've been lucking but I now know the meaning of life.life is not about money or Rich's but the meaning of life is freedom n prayers of thanking God for the life he's given us. I thank you God For the people singing these songs.
No matter what you are going.. Count your blessing and name them one by one and you will realize what God has done. REFLECT on people around you who are a blessing to you. Hold on to the love you have, you have little precious time to spend here on earth
I don't understand the words, but I really like to drive along a long forest road to this music. It seems to elevate your soul and gives you complete peace of mind.
So in love with this song and the world😍 survived a horrible crash last year thank to God and all the help of my family, friends and all the people that helped me to survive and get back especially the staff in the hospital. I'm even more grateful for everything- e.g. my 17year old daughter and my wife😍
Despite my shortcomings ,I pray to be the best father, I don't want to suck at that job, I want to be there for my kids through thick and thin ,thankyou hollowcoves awesome music
This remiñds me of my Mother and all my animals that have passed. Life is so precious and we need to value it. It is fleeting. We are just a moment in time. "Hold on to the ones you love."❤💔☃️❄️🎄🐾🐕🐶🙏☝️
This song is a two for one, for me. I was listening to it and I can't get over how the man who plays the father, is a splitting image of my late husband, his face, slender body, his long hair, It's exactly the same, even the hair color, the waves, the mustache, and his playful personality and more. They say everyone has a twin in this world, well, this would be my husband’s twin. It's just so unbelievable, I’m so blown away. Now, as for the song, remember that success is not measured by the car you drive or the house you live in, the fancy clothes you may wear, etc, rather it’s measured by the loving time spent with your loved ones, and how they may describe you when they’re talking to a friend, so HOLD ONTO YOUR BLESSINGS, HOLD ONTO THE ONES YOU LOVE ❤️ 😇
I feel blessed to come across this gem, as I remember my dad today. Feeling nostalgic about our childhood memories...May everyone be blessed with a beautiful family filled with moments of happiness, laughter, health, prosperity and peace😇
Heard this song in ig, come over here to listen to the entire song and finally downloaded from iTunes. Thank you for this beautiful song. It soothes my heart and soul. Count every blessing, enjoy what we have each day, treasure our love ones…. Thank you for the reminder. Love! ❤
[Verse 1] Sunlight fell and reminded me that life can be So gracious sometimes And I felt like everything around me Was connected somehow [Verse 2] At night I hear the rhythm of the ocean As it breaks on the shore And I think about all the things that I am grateful for [Chorus] And they say, hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you And they say, hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through [Verse 3] Sometimes I get a little bit еmotional when I see love unfold Two hearts bound by rеflections of the memories They'll forever hold [Chorus] And they say, hold on to the ones you love Keep 'em close to you And they say, hold on to this time we have And let the light shine through
We must not enclose our selves in our sufferings. There are so much more in life. Some songs would make you feel so down when you are sad but this song it makes you feel so hopeful. It’s a good song if you want an upward turn to heal and to love. This song is what I just need rn.
I just found this song at a time in my life that I really needed it. Thank you for this simply beautiful positive reminder that life is still so amazing as single parent. As long as I have my son, everything will be alright.
One day left of this year 2021. All I want to say is Thank you for this beautiful song, there is not a time when I listen to this song that I don't cry I will always treasure it. This song came out just 13 days after I gave birth to my biggest blessing, my precious girl V. I always make videos of her with this song playing in the back. Thank you Hollow Coves for reminding us that blessings are all around us, you included for creating beautiful music.
Listening to this as a mom of a 3-year old son is making me so emotional. Thanks a lot! 🥺 To anyone reading this, may your life be filled with joy and contentment. May we all understand that this life is just a test and that the hereafter is the true life. I learned this from the Quran and I firmly believe in it.
It took them just 4 minutes to calm down my worried mind and change it into the best feelings. Just stunningly beautiful. Never lose the view for the blessings around you.
I love this song, make me realize that so many things that im grateful for and enjoy every moments because every moments are precious. Thankyou to my friend that tell me this beautiful song❤️
Omg! What a audiovisual! I have no words to express how much I loved this video! The whole world need this so much! All we need is real LOVE! Love you, brothers
Love listening to your heartwarming songs when reading books, drinking coffee, enjoying the sunset, before sleep, and it can make me feel even calmer. Thanks for the songs.
💫Love this song & video bcuz it’s a perfect representation of a father’s love for his son(and daughter)... If only every son could have such an awesome loving take away from their childhood’s experiences with their fathers, the world would be a better safer place in which to live.... …I thank God for my Heavenly Father! 🙏🏻✝️🕊
I stumbled upon your music yesterday, and welled up in tears. What a beautiful song and message ! Thank you for sharing your gifts. I can't wait to see you all live one day!
I was a single parent in early 80's. This reminds me of my son and me. Free birds. I miss him.. I miss those times. He is my avatar. He was killed in an accident. I love you Nathan. Hold on to the ones you love.
God bless you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find peace and happiness in your life. May your soul always at ease. Much love ♥
So sorry for your heartbreak x

A rich man is not the one who has more money, but more memories ❤
10000%
Though being wealthy improves both your amount and quality of life, so rich men have both more money and more memories. The system works!
with more money we can spend more time with the one we love, not working the whole time. Unless working is the love of your life.
@@Dandelion_Stitches but less time in order to make more money, so less time to make memories
@@razafiarisonmichael4421 rich folk work less than poor folk, so nah.

All this and a passive stream of income, just enough to be very minimalistic in life ♥️
@Geoff Harper I'd also that "career" might be a capitalist idea. Just a random thought I had.
Amen.. time is precious. Spend it wisely. A career is a 21st century invention...
@Geoff Harper what does the motto means
I'm estranged from a very toxic family. But I've met a very special man that saved me from the darkest of depths and 10 years later, we have two loving kids and a close knit group of friends that are closer than my blood family. Counting my blessings every day. ❤
Sorry for your pain! Perfect love flows from above. You are precious and wonderfully made! He knows your hurts and loves you perfectly never to cast you away. May we love others in this manner too!

I feel warm once I listened this song spread love to one another
Love this melody - love the lyrics - love my family - love my LIFE. Thank You, Jesus.

Sunlight fell and reminded me that life
can be
So gracious sometimes
And I felt like everything around me
Was connected somehow
At night I hear the rhythm of the ocean
As it breaks on the shore
And I think about all the things that
I am grateful for
And they say, "Hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you"
And they say, "Hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through"
Sometimes I get a little bit еmotional when
I see love unfold
Two hearts bound by rеflections of the memories
They'll forever hold
And they say, "Hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you"
And they say, "Hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through"
There are blessings all around you
Open up your eyes
Feel the sunlight fall upon you
Let it free your mind
There are blessings all around you
Take a step outside
Let your heart shine in a new light
See it come alive
And they say, "Hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you"
And they say, "Hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through"

Goes to show,not all heroes wear capes!! Thankyou for the lyrics!!

Touchin' lyrics...
we need more men to be FATHERS like this. my dad wasn't always around and often chose not to be there... but when he was... it was just like this.
I know he had his reasons for opting out. he's a veteran, betrayed by his country and government for a lost cause war. he lost plenty of loved ones in that war and lost a few more later as a result of it. He lost his sister to cancer when she was still in her prime. his dad died in his arms - after years of being estranged and not talking even though they lived nextdoor to each other. he was there the day his heart stopped. he resuscitated him and only had minutes to say he was sorry and that he loved him before he died. Twenty years later his mom died in the same house. her illness was the only thing that brought him and his remaining sister back together. they had to swallow their pride and get over their differences in order to help their mom in her final days.
I look at pictures of him when he was still a kid, wild and barefooted like this one, and I wish I could have known him before all the bad things happened.. at the age of eight years old he had a pony and dog and a 22 rifle. he would live like a cowboy in the wilds of north Florida, pretending to be Paladin, because that was better than hanging around a mean, cheating drunk that was supposed to be his father. But he would always be home in time to take care of his responsibilities. he always worked hard at any job while in school. Joined the Marines when he was 18. Saw the world and almost died. He lived in California and a few other places with people I'll never get to meet. He might even have a few more kids we don't know about.
He's an old man now, and he's trying his best to make up for his absence and selfishness through the years. he was in survival mode for most of his life and half of mine, and I forgive him for it. I'm glad he has a relationship with his grandkids.
But i say all of that just to say.... if you're a father.... you probably have no idea how valuable you are at this age. you are setting a foundation for their future. Put your phone down, turn off your social media. ignore the outside world that's calling YOU away from your kids, and go play with them. go for walks, ride some bikes, swim, climb trees, build forts, sing songs, make up silly names for each other and make believe games.
Your time to do these things is running out. they dont want distractions, they want YOU.
What a story. Stay strong
Hello, your testimony really touched me, I'm Brazilian, and I have 2 children, and I would really like to be able to connect with you. Please, if you could give me a contact so we can communicate. I'm sorry but my English is very simple, but I promise to try my best.
If you have someone you love in your life. Whether that's a child, friend, family. You are blessed. Hold on to them.
I feel like giving up at this point in time but your message gives me hope😢🙏🙏🙏🙏

15 years ago, I was that kid playing with my old man. I could not have asked for a better childhood, this video stirred up so many emotions and made me realise how much I miss him. I hope y'all have something to hold on too. Wishing y'all happiness.
God the father, giver of every good and perfect gift. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
I've never heard a duo so synchronized and committed to delivering music to soothe the soul. Thanks! 🧡🍃

"There are blessings all around you
Open up your eyes
Feel the sunlight fall upon you
Let it free your mind
There are blessings all around you
Take a step outside
Let your heart shine in a new light
See it come alive"
This is the part that always brings me hope when I feel myself slipping. I'll belt it out along with the song, feeling the tears at the corners of my eyes...but feel the warmth I need to keep moving forward. I'm glad it's helped you so much too. 🧡

“Sometimes I get a little bit emotional when I see love unfold.
Two hearts bound by reflections of the memories they’ll forever hold.”
I’m a single father that struggles to see my 6yo old boy and this really hit home. I k ow how precious time is. If there’s any other dads in the same position, keep going, don’t give up, your not alone. Thankyou for this song..🙌
Love and light.
Make every second with him count, let him know he his loved and no matter what, he always can count with you and your love and that's all he needs, he will understand everything when he became grown up.
If you're reading this I'm praying something amazing happens for you today. 🙏🏻❤

Truth 💝
My dad never did this to me till he passed away, i wish he did before. But I finally understand the struggle and the sacrifice he did to earn money far from family go to work in a different island just to make our family keep living and make sure my family have better life and future. I miss My dad so much.
The music the world NEEDS, NOW! And FOREVER!
Blessings back at you folks.
Great piece of good.😇
Hey Danielle how are you doing today???
I lost my best friend (last year ) … also happened to be my “First born “son… he was a gift from God ! This young man, excelled at everything and was more human than most , more tuned in and just Alive!, more connected to an understanding that we all have a roll to play in the big picture. Saying”Dad “everything is going to be ok ! ! He would say!
For me… personally humility, faith and grace that is the key ,to prosperity ! The lives we touch along the way, the word or jester, that delivers a person from the confusion and confines of this karnal world holding everyone in its circuitry 🎉, that is tuned to fail !!
Just be sure to Say “ I love you! As many times as possible . Don’t procrastinate you not promised tomorrow! It might just save a life!
I love u son! I miss you everyday! Tell momma I miss her too! I’ll be seeing y’all shortly!❤
Life is so short, be nice to one another! Give Christ a minute of your time. if you want life, He will never deny you! ✌️🤗💕
Just ask him to revile to you what it is your missing or not getting.. he will , your life will be so fruitful !
Since his passing .. .. easy to get sad, I have 2 new grandchildren the boy is just like C” , the girl already getting spoilt!! Lol
My son was born 4 days ago. I feel like I was meant to find this song. I am still having trouble seeing myself as a father, or figuring out what my place in his life is supposed to be. I think this helps a lot with putting things into perspective. I just want to leave this world with my son saying "my father was a good man"
I love you. 💙 And you're the best father. You have no idea how my heart swells when i see you holding him and giving him love. He will always look to you for everything in this life. I can't wait to see who we will all grow into, who we will become. The two loves of my life. Thank God.
It's tough brother. Life has a way of making you lose perspective and sight of things that we might not even know mean the most to us. Hang in there. Hopefully we'll all get there InshAllah. Stay blessed. Loads of Love coming to you all the way from Islamabad
Tge Lord shall guid you all the days of your life.
You will be a great Dad with God's help cuz God is the best Father ever.
💒shalom💒
@@bonniechampagne2992 your kind words mean a lot to me right now. Thank you
Just be you, love him unconditionally, laugh with him, believe in him, encourage him every day.
You are enough, exactly the way you are - you were chosen to be his Daddy. 💖 😊 🙆🏻♀️ 🌿 👍🏾
If you are ever stuck, think about the things you would love from "the best kind of father" in his situation, and you'll be great! 😊
God bless you abundantly as you both raise your precious son together, and as you maybe have more precious children. 😁
Our children learn from our facial expressions and our actions more than anything else. 🌿🏡❤️
My dad sent me this song the day my 6 year old daughter was getting out of the Childrens Hospital after battling RSV and Bacterial Pneumonia for 4 days. I'm definitely feeling blessed. ❤️ Beautiful song. 😭
I'm so sorry you had to experience that however I'm so happy that she's out and stronger than ever! Blessings to you your dad and your daughter. :)
Hey i pray for the health of you daughter mau god bless her with a happy and healthy life amen
😅😅😅😮🎉❤🎉❤😂😢😅🎉😢f ya to the hj
My children lost their father recently and they are young..... this reminds me so much of the bond they had with their daddy. You never know when you could lose someone so tragically and unexpectedly. Be grateful for every moment. Life can change in an instant. Your entire life can change in a second and this song reminds of what's most important .
❤
Thank you for your sharing . I am humbled by your loving words . I send you a huge hug filled with love from a great grandmother who also knows how important it is to love and cherish every moment.
Your children have a special mother who is here to remind them of the loving father…they are blessed as you are… in every memory he is with you🕊️🌸
This video makes me think about my lost child. Please be grateful for your kids. Don't abuse them. Give them time to grow and learn. 🙏
Sorry about the loss
🙏@@Blue_Astrid
All your songs are so beautiful and calming. Always fills my heart with this warm feeling. Thanks for them. ❤️

Love, love, love! This is heartwarming and so beautiful 😍 I'm blown away again by your music once again and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't shed a tear here..
OMAM tiene una canción llamada Love Love Love jajajaja
@Jeison Uriarte Haha, yeah you're right about that 😄
I just know this amazing band because of your channel that I always listen to 🤩❤️
@Karina Rosa ah sweet! 🙌❤️
Epic, a comment from Indie Folk Central in a Hollow Coves video 🤠🎵
I had a wonderful childhood and my dad was a huge part of it. I lost him a year ago. I come here every time I miss him and watch this on repeat. So grateful for this song, it soothes my heart. ❤️
Sunlight fell and reminded me that life can be so gracious sometimes
And I felt like everything around me was connected somehow
Mm
At night I hear the rhythm of the ocean as it breaks on the shore
And I think about all the things that I am grateful for
And they say, hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you
And they say, hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through
Sometimes I get a little bit emotional when I see love unfold
Two hearts bound by reflections of the memories they'll forever hold
And they say, hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you
And they say, hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through
There are blessings all around you
Open up your eyes
Feel the sunlight fall upon you
Let it free your mind
There are blessings all around you
Take a step outside
Let your heart shine in a new light
See it come alive
And they say, hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you
And they say, hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through

This song is absolutely beautiful! But when watching the video, I also interpreted the song as maybe an adult seeing the world through a child's eyes! The joy, simplicity, and love that our inner child craves. Either way, I love this song. 😍❤
The Positivity this song has is like a rainbow in my cloud, ; Magically colourful.
I think that I need to be saved ! I need to do all things that song suggests, open up my eyes, a step out side, let the light shine but I wish hug my dog that passed way , missing you Bruce , I will keep you in my heart forever
I do give you a good hugg! Be blessed! Always! Jesus was my salvation, He brought me up to light from darkness.
Yesterday marked 2 years since my big brother passed away. July 30th 2020.
Yesterday was also the first time I heart this song and I think it’s a lesson that I’ve been learning more and more but have yet to put words to. You guys have done it though. It’s true…hold onto the ones you love and keep them close bc when they leave…they are gone. But as I grow and continue to live past the passing of my brother I’ve learned more and more to appreciate what I still have. Life is so hard, but there’s are still so many blessings in my life and just because time stopped for awhile and just because life is hard doesn’t mean that’s all life is. This song really hit. It’s a reminder to keep living and loving because time is fleeting. So hold onto those you love and make the best of it
Loved the video. Keep up the great work. Don't call things Holy that aren't Holy its blasphemy which is sin. Don't swear or sudo swear its sinful. Don't say or laugh at inappropriate things its sinful. Luck doesn't exist its blessings from the Good Lord Jesus Christ. Don't say the Good Lord Jesus Christs Holy name in vein its blasphemy which is a sin. Only the Good Lord Jesus Christ is the one true God no one else can compare to Him. The Good Lord Jesus Christ is the only good person. The Good Lord Jesus Christ is Lord or Lords and King of Kings. He is the only true Lord and the only True King. Trust in the Good Lord Jesus Christ not yourself. Amen. God Send. God Bless You All. Amen. God Send. Please if you haven't already repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ As Lord And Savior. Praise The Good Lord. Please Get Saved. Please repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ As Lord And Savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son and whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Love you guys. God Bless You All. Amen. God Send. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. God Bless You All. Amen. God Send.
A son is the perfect gift from God... I love every moment with my 1 year old kid ❤
Parenthood, 1 of life's greatest experiences. You lose selfihness n gain gratitude, foresight, n humilty.

One of the most beautiful comments I’ve read anBout parenthood, thank you
I have recently discovered this band and I can't stop listening to their songs. They are touching and motivating, at the same time. Thank God for you.
I heard this on Instagram. Love their soft music. If you like them, try the Weepies. Another outstanding duo
If you are here in 2024, Im praying this year God blesses your socks off 🫶🏻❤🙏
Same to you, my friend.
God bless you & yours.
Why Thank YOU, VERY very much.
May ALL the Miracles in Life find YOU and Your Extended BOUNTIFUL Always, Friend.
Same to you!! 🌸
Same to you as well
Absolutely beautiful in every way.
From the smile on the little boys face to the smile on dads face.
The music, this song. Beautiful, cherish every moment.
I'm smiling.
This is one of the most uplifting songs ever recorded! ❤ ❤ ❤
Absolutely beautiful song and such inspiring lyrics! So true! There are blessings all around us - all we need just to open our eyes and see and just be grateful to the Lord for what we have. Thank you!!!❤️
Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤
AMEN !!!!!!!
Blessings...so grateful for this time ... letting the light shine through!!!!
This is one of my favorite music videos! Children bring such joy! 😊 They are definitely blessings from God and remind us of His love.
I can't explain wat am feeling but I think am in love with the songs lads.
There is something I've been lucking but I now know the meaning of life.life is not about money or Rich's but the meaning of life is freedom n prayers of thanking God for the life he's given us.
I thank you God
For the people singing these songs.
No matter what you are going.. Count your blessing and name them one by one and you will realize what God has done. REFLECT on people around you who are a blessing to you. Hold on to the love you have, you have little precious time to spend here on earth
everytime I hear hollow caves music I do feel like I'm healing and leaving all the pain of my past behind 😢❤❤
Set your goals so you can achieve them
This song has everything.
Life is so precious. Live every second of every day.
It's absolutely beautiful. 🌈🕊💕
Hollow Coves just keeps getting better and better. Beautiful.
i lost my dad this year. the music video reminded me so much of my childhood.. i miss my dad a lot. Thank you for this beautiful song ♥️
Every moment is a Blessing, let's embrace it... I wish we still have songs like this in years to come💕🥺
Every day, every smile, every "hello" to a stranger and above all every act of kindness however small - treasure it and do it x
another song added to my heart and soul! thank you hollow coves for creating beautiful music for the dreamers and lost souls!
Soul well said! 💖
@@Nadyaboggo thank youuu!
I don't understand the words, but I really like to drive along a long forest road to this music. It seems to elevate your soul and gives you complete peace of mind.
So in love with this song and the world😍 survived a horrible crash last year thank to God and all the help of my family, friends and all the people that helped me to survive and get back especially the staff in the hospital. I'm even more grateful for everything- e.g. my 17year old daughter and my wife😍
Listening to this as I watch the sunrise out my breakfast table window. Yes, blessings. Peaceful, serene blessings. Thankful.🌻💖🌻
Hey Jades how are you doing today????
Man...i have never had any song push me to make positive changes about myself and life in general. Beautiful
Love the simplicity of life. The best things in life are truely free!❤🙏🏻
One of the most underrated bands out there. They deserve more recognition .
Despite my shortcomings ,I pray to be the best father, I don't want to suck at that job, I want to be there for my kids through thick and thin ,thankyou hollowcoves awesome music
This vídeo made me cry so hard. The song, lyrics, images…. so beautiful. Crongrats ❤️
This remiñds me of my Mother and all my animals that have passed. Life is so precious and we need to value it. It is fleeting. We are just a moment in time. "Hold on to the ones you love."❤💔☃️❄️🎄🐾🐕🐶🙏☝️
When u ask yourself what is happiness and this song plays ... Perfect ❤❤❤
I am so grateful to Hollow Coves for this song. You guys gave me something to hold onto from life.
If happiness and the will to live were a thing, it would definitely be this video
This song is a two for one, for me. I was listening to it and I can't get over how the man who plays the father, is a splitting image of my late husband, his face, slender body, his long hair, It's exactly the same, even the hair color, the waves, the mustache, and his playful personality and more. They say everyone has a twin in this world, well, this would be my husband’s twin. It's just so unbelievable, I’m so blown away. Now, as for the song, remember that success is not measured by the car you drive or the house you live in, the fancy clothes you may wear, etc, rather it’s measured by the loving time spent with your loved ones, and how they may describe you when they’re talking to a friend, so HOLD ONTO YOUR BLESSINGS, HOLD ONTO THE ONES YOU LOVE ❤️ 😇
This made me think of parenting my inner child...connecting to the playful spirit of that little boy inside the man.
well said, Dar Bow!
I feel blessed to come across this gem, as I remember my dad today. Feeling nostalgic about our childhood memories...May everyone be blessed with a beautiful family filled with moments of happiness, laughter, health, prosperity and peace😇
This song made me relax, I feel so comfy, Thanks for this song stress reliever and took away my depression God Is Good! ❤
Heard this song in ig, come over here to listen to the entire song and finally downloaded from iTunes. Thank you for this beautiful song. It soothes my heart and soul. Count every blessing, enjoy what we have each day, treasure our love ones…. Thank you for the reminder. Love! ❤

@@eullermartins7393 eles são incríveis
Lost my Dad recently … blessed to have had amazing parents ❤Love this song … indeed a blessing❤
[Verse 1]
Sunlight fell and reminded me that life can be
So gracious sometimes
And I felt like everything around me
Was connected somehow
[Verse 2]
At night I hear the rhythm of the ocean
As it breaks on the shore
And I think about all the things that
I am grateful for
[Chorus]
And they say, hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you
And they say, hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I get a little bit еmotional when
I see love unfold
Two hearts bound by rеflections of the memories
They'll forever hold
[Chorus]
And they say, hold on to the ones you love
Keep 'em close to you
And they say, hold on to this time we have
And let the light shine through
We must not enclose our selves in our sufferings. There are so much more in life. Some songs would make you feel so down when you are sad but this song it makes you feel so hopeful. It’s a good song if you want an upward turn to heal and to love. This song is what I just need rn.
I just found this song at a time in my life that I really needed it. Thank you for this simply beautiful positive reminder that life is still so amazing as single parent. As long as I have my son, everything will be alright.
Very nice, made me think about the freedom and awe of being young, never let go of your inner child.
4:12 minutes of my life well spent ❤️
Love from 🇰🇪

One day left of this year 2021. All I want to say is Thank you for this beautiful song, there is not a time when I listen to this song that I don't cry I will always treasure it. This song came out just 13 days after I gave birth to my biggest blessing, my precious girl V. I always make videos of her with this song playing in the back. Thank you Hollow Coves for reminding us that blessings are all around us, you included for creating beautiful music.
A reminder of what love looks like.
Listening to this as a mom of a 3-year old son is making me so emotional. Thanks a lot! 🥺 To anyone reading this, may your life be filled with joy and contentment. May we all understand that this life is just a test and that the hereafter is the true life. I learned this from the Quran and I firmly believe in it.
I want you to know how much I love you and how blessed and thankful I am for know and meet person like you. I just want the best for you. :)
It took them just 4 minutes to calm down my worried mind and change it into the best feelings. Just stunningly beautiful.
Never lose the view for the blessings around you.
I love this song, make me realize that so many things that im grateful for and enjoy every moments because every moments are precious. Thankyou to my friend that tell me this beautiful song❤️
I danced with my 27 and I9 year old sons to this song during my wedding. I hope whenever they hear it they remember how much they are loved.
I've never not shed tear listening to this song.It's so precious.
I love how they walk barefoot everywhere, so free~spirited and its really good for your immunity! 🌷🌿
Omg! What a audiovisual! I have no words to express how much I loved this video! The whole world need this so much! All we need is real LOVE! Love you, brothers
Some songs and lyrics are simply a gift to the world. That's what we have right here. This is wonderful. Thank you.
Love listening to your heartwarming songs when reading books, drinking coffee, enjoying the sunset, before sleep, and it can make me feel even calmer. Thanks for the songs.
💫Love this song & video bcuz it’s a perfect representation of a father’s love for his son(and daughter)...
If only every son could have such an awesome loving take away from their childhood’s experiences with their fathers, the world would be a better safer place in which to live....
…I thank God for my Heavenly Father!
🙏🏻✝️🕊
I stumbled upon your music yesterday, and welled up in tears. What a beautiful song and message ! Thank you for sharing your gifts. I can't wait to see you all live one day!
