I played this for my dad the night he was passing away from cancer at hospital i was next to him holding his hand playing this for him. Was last moment i shared with my father.
Mine has been gone for along time now..we were nvr that close anywayz they I dont need to explain who he was outta all the extended relatives,not that big of an issue anymore other stuff is more pertinent these days shrug
Knowing that you cared for Him so, doesn't make the pain slip away but know: you can still carry a part of Him with you till you yourself pass. After all: the only way someone truly dies, is when we forget them entirely and feeling that notion allows us to never truly let go of who they are and what they truly mean to us. Notice I do not speak past tense and why? To emphasize my point.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I think it is helping me get better. I’ve been gone from home so long, finding now at this point of my life ( 66 years old) that many of the people I loved and cared for, are no longer with us. Spent more than half my life out of the country, all the losses feel like only yesterday. People don’t make the same mistake I made, stay in touch with those you care about. I’ve had a great life many adventures , memories and accomplishments, very few regrets. Wish I could have been there for my friends and family. Only good thing is it’s never too late to reach out. If you are reading to the end , thank you. I apologize for rambling on. But maybe I’ve helped someone else I hope. Best regards K.
I made a memorial video for my little girl with this song. She was everything to me, my world and would have gladly given everything I had for her life. Honey, you will never be Alone or Forgotten I love you so much
This whole record [Matchbox Twenty's Platinum-winning *Something to Be*] was kind of made under duress. The entire time I was working on it, my wife was really sick, and dealing with that made the record itself not the most important thing in my life. It was good in that way because I completely trusted my instincts. I would just come into the studio, and if a song sounded really good, I would just walk away from it so I could get home to whatever was going on. “Now Comes the Night” is about death and being less scared to face it with someone by your side.… And I get the added bonus of going out and screaming the lyrics, which feels so good, man. You know, not a lot of people get paid to go through primal scream therapy. -Rob Thomas, singer-songwriter, on coping with his wife's rare autoimmune disorder
He's one of the best modern song writers. No wonder he won the starlight award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame for young songwriters who have already made a lasting impact on music industry.
I never heard this song before SGU, but I love this song so much. Surprisingly I never heard it on the radio. I want this song played at my funeral. It is seldom that you hear a song this moving.
For my brave brother, who lost his life to lung cancer. I feel like Rob was with us during David's passing. The words ring true on so many levels. So grateful to have his music.
yeah-his hair is what we should worry about when he writes and sings such amazingly beautiful songs-I would love to see the documentary this was pulled from-he must have a beautiful soul to write the way he does.
I have lost my father and I my brother is fighting a loosing battle with the same cancer that took my father. I listen to this song and think of the crossing over, how painful it is for those of us left behind, but knowing their pain is over and I will always have their memories......
Takes me back to the last hour I had with my Mom.Her body tired from the cancer yet her beautiful soul filled the room and gave everyone strength to go on. Mom - You will not be forgotten!
I played this beautiful song at a funeral for a friend who lived almost his entire life in an institution for people with disabilities. He lived 78 years with cerebal palsy. He never walked nor talked but he had such a beautiful mind. He felt music with all his senses. I was one of his caregivers. We never left his side as while he slipped into peaceful slumber. This song still brings me comfort. Beautiful Rob Thomas.
Rob since 2009 I have lost my father-in law my mother my uncle with in 5 weeks 2001 I lost my best friend and I lost my mother in-law 4-13-2013 this song means so much to me Thank You !!!!!!!!! I have been a fan of yours from day one and I've been to many of your concerts I loved the one at the Santa Barbara County Bowl. Love to you all !!!!!!!!!!!
rob has such a talent for pulling at your heart strings..he is always writing a song that just touches you in some way...bravo..this is a wonderful beautiful song
If I this song hear I must cry... Think of person I loved of that loss hurts... A gap leaves... Quiet a sheet{leaf} falls on the ground... Quiet the snow falls to ground... Quiet go out a candle... Quiet runs a tear... Now comes the night and the recollections with her... A wonderful song - full feeling...
I am happy that SGU brought attention to this beautiful song. I have had it in my regular playlist rotation for the better part of a year, and I never tire of it. I encourage you to listen to the elegant lyrics and the message it imparts. I hope everyone has someone special they can share this song with...
Got this album when I was workin in Texas, listened to it all the time on 11-12 hour drives to work.....made me think of all the people I have lost..and how they are still remebered no matter how long, friends gone, family lost and he took it all home!!!!...what a song...thank you
Beautiful song reminds me of my gma. I was with her in the hospital when she died. She kept going in and out of consciousness and every time she opened her eyes I was right there to greet her with a smile and hold her hand. Didnt let her cry or be afraid. When we thought it was over, she opened her eyes once more. This time, she was confused and didn't remember where she was or how she got there. I did my part again. Smiled. Held her hand. Didn't let her down. I smiled and held her hand until she was gone. Then it was my time to cry. Miss my gma... 5/1/17
I have my own taleof woe that l could relate to with this song, but lchoose to comment on ROB & his ability to evoke emotion from his listeners in any of his songs -- happy or sad he makes his fans FEEL-- that's what it's about for me. Thank you, ROB .
I too came because of SGU... it's such a brilliant song, and it fitted so well, his voice is AMAZING. Yet another reason to love both the Stargate Saga and Rob Thomas.
goldentouch19...may God bless you and keep you in his care until that day that you meet your husband again. this is the most beautiful song ever written.
this song meets where ive been watching mysister die from ms and my son four days later...only jesus helps me not to fear and has never left me alone.......this song speaks what i experience in my relationship with God...................................
rraahhhhhh !!!! My goddd !!!! c'est ma-gni-fi-que !!!! merci , merci , merci bcp de l'avoir mise !!! Rob I love yyoouuuuuuu !!!! (hem...pardon...c l'effet qu'il me fais , oups lol) Hé oui , y a des français qui adore Matchbox aussi ;) ne nous oubliez pas :)
Yes this is rich. This one will be part of my mom's memorial service as well - coming up her on 2/8/14. Condolences to you Tracy, Mark, and Kelli. And everyone down the list. RT has a knack of putting out that stuff that makes you hang on every word, and wait on every note. We can all just enjoy the sounds, the words, the lives affected. Just revel in the feelings, the emotions, and the joy/pain. Thanks Rob, Cheers to all, RR
@cts2107 This song gets me every time. My dad passed in Sep.2000 and at 6:26am (at home) of cancer.And the morning of at 4am - 6:26am was a morning that's forever in my memory, In the first part of this song he said "when the hour is upon us" and those word take me back to that morning. I was 13yrs old and I feel that its not getting any easier, I need him more and more. But there are parts of this song that tell me to stay strong even if I am all alone, I must STAY STRONG.
Yet again, I sit here, after being in the wonderful company of my brilliant friends, but I miss the man I truly loved... Jamie, despite all the bad, I miss our good, you were my best friend and I miss you more than I should admit...I hope you find happiness and eace in your life now, I wanted nothing more than the best for you then, and that remains today....xxx
This song is awesome, i have just found it in the last few days and i cry every time i hear it. I plan to play it on my mums 10th anniversary this November.
Simply beautiful. You are amazing Rob Thomas. I never thought I would ever find a song that depicted my father's demise.... But this comes very close xxx
I remember that I bought the record back in 2005 when it came out. I fell in love with it immediatly. I kind of forgot about it over the time, then I found the CD again and my heart melted when this song came on. I originally bought the record because of the songs "Lonely No More" and "This Is How A Heart Breaks" but those soft songs are the ones that make this record so special. I never regretted buying it.
This is my favourite Rob Thomas song. Love it so much. Acoustic songs are so brilliant. And! Rob looks much better with longer hair. Beautiful song, beautiful voice. ♥
bought the cd i LOVE THIS SONG I was sad when I didn't have it because it was soooo short on here I knew it had to be longer and I love rob thomas so I bought it and Iam VERY pleased with it =] thanks for the music and everything
I never heard this song before SGU, but I love this song so much. I want this song played at my funeral. It is seldom that you hear a song this moving.
I hooked up with my best friend's ex who is also my best friend and i think i just lost them both. I messed up but sitting here in the dark listening to this song really touches my soul
I'm so sorry about your lose. I sadly know the feeling since also the first time I heard it was the day we buried my grandma (who was like a mother to me). But it will always make me remember her and how much she loved me and I also thought thatw as her telling me she was ok and will look for us from wherever she is now.
Performed this at my fathers military funeral a year ago tomorrow. ...was one of his favorite songs. I LOVE AND MISS YOU DADDY 82ND AIRBORNE ALL AMERICAN!
I have to agree Thanx to SGU for helping me find a wonderful moving song. Great job Rob keep it up as well thatnx for a few other songs played on SGU in the past.
I played this for my dad the night he was passing away from cancer at hospital i was next to him holding his hand playing this for him. Was last moment i shared with my father.
Amazing you were with him as he journeying on 💯💯💯🍃🍃🍃❤️❤️❤️🎯
Mine has been gone for along time now..we were nvr that close anywayz they I dont need to explain who he was outta all the extended relatives,not that big of an issue anymore other stuff is more pertinent these days shrug
Wish my dog was w me anxious to have it w me again hopefully very very soon,hopefully be moving

THIS is why Rob Thomas is, always has, and always WILL be my favorite singer.

I love him (:
Death is difficult and lonely, but it does not have to be sad #RobThomas. Remember, our loved ones are going to reside with #JehovahShalom. 🙏😇🎹💖
I played this for my father in his final hours. No one could sing this like Rob.
That was beautiful I know how it feels to loose your Father I'm so sorry for your loss.
the luckiest in the planet actually.
rob is such a great singer and person too.
My son just sent me this. He taught himself how to play it. So beautiful.
Beautiful song reminds me of my gma. I was with her in the hospital when she died.

We played this song at my father's viewing and 2 years later it still tugs at my heart and brings the tears. :)
The message in all of his songs are some thing that we collectively need, filled with hope and life. A real celebration of life.
Always be there for him, dont let him feel under, and simply be a friend to him, my best hopes go out to him.
Only Rob can make something so dark so beautiful. The people in his life are extremely lucky to be there.
I’m always alone but God is with me,where is my support Lord every one has left me
*sighs and tears up* this song is so special to me.....
that was the song i used to listen with my ex-boyfriend just before falling asleep... i will always remember it... and i'm still thinking of you..
SGU already got me hooked on the song by Alexi Murdoch. Another great find by the SGU team! I love the songs they put on this show.
rraahhhhhh !!!! My goddd !!!! c'est ma-gni-fi-que !!!! merci , merci , merci bcp de l'avoir mise !!!
Rob I love yyoouuuuuuu !!!!

Absolutely amazing. If this doesn't get you emotional, nothing will.
I cant recall what nickname I gave ya
I'll be seeing Rob in Vancouver next Wednesday. Can't wait. Saw Matchbox 20 last year and they were excellent! Rob is indeed very talented.

I'd love to have someone who FELT like that.
I feel so damned blessed to feel this way about someone, to have that person feel the same way about me.
Most beautiful song I've ever heard
Yet again, I sit here, after being in the wonderful company of my brilliant friends, but I miss the man I truly loved...

Rob You Are The Best
This song is awesome, i have just found it in the last few days and i cry every time i hear it. I plan to play it on my mums 10th anniversary this November.
I lost my Mum to Cancer in 2011. This song reminds me of her & how cruel cancer can be .
Simply beautiful. You are amazing Rob Thomas. I never thought I would ever find a song that depicted my father's demise.... But this comes very close xxx
Nothing Created by Thee will ever die
What a voice! there isn't an artist in the world who wouldn't work with this guy
This really is the most beautiful song I have ever heard
he needs more recognition! and not just from SGU fans
I remember that I bought the record back in 2005 when it came out. I fell in love with it immediatly.

Amazing artist! I hope Rob will always be remembered after he retires...
Played it at my Mum's funeral nine years ago, such a beautiful song,
I relate this to my life in one simple way: the loss of the love of my life and knowing I cannot play this song as Katerina and I grow old together.
I really love this song it reminds me of somebody special who passed at an age of 33 on feb.19 2010 r.i.p.
i never would have guessed he looked like that! what a sweetie!!
This song makes me think of my best friend. I know that they sometimes feel very alone in the world, but I'd do anything for them.
IS this song great or what? I'm on tears every time ...Makes me think of parents and life...So sad but true...Awesome
Rob is an amazing talent. He is underrated as are many.
he's so handsome.. and his music is so beautiful..
His rich deep voice certainly came in further along in his songs and career. Unbelievable musician this guy, just frigging awesome !
I never heard this song before SGU, but I love this song so much. I want this song played at my funeral. It is seldom that you hear a song this moving.
The best song of the world...
he has so much love in his voice.
and he played the piano fantastic.
greets from germany
WOW Im a Rob Thomas fan and I don't ever think that I have ever heard this song before. It is really well done.
I lost my mum to Cancer 2011 this some makes me think of her and reminds of the great times, when she was here....
I would give so much to meet you. Your music has awaken me, and I can't imagine a world without it.
I hooked up with my best friend's ex who is also my best friend and i think i just lost them both. I messed up but sitting here in the dark listening to this song really touches my soul

Best love song ever, ever written if you ask me.
Heard this on SGU and the song made me think about my mum who I miss so much....
Thanks for Such a great Song...
Rob reminds me of a young Van Morrison...he has the soul of a poet!
Performed this at my fathers military funeral a year ago tomorrow. ...was one of his favorite songs. I LOVE AND MISS YOU DADDY 82ND AIRBORNE ALL AMERICAN!
I have to agree Thanx to SGU for helping me find a wonderful moving song. Great job Rob keep it up as well thatnx for a few other songs played on SGU in the past.
