I've been coming back to this song for about 10 - 15 years. It's absolutely beautiful. Call me an optimist but to me, while this song feels to be about a gut wrenching breakup, I'm always struck by the hopefulness David weaved into the song. It's one of the few songs that makes me want to cry and smile at the same time.
Lyrically and musically this song is an absolute masterpiece, a masterclass in songwriting, however, it rips at my heart and always brings tears to my eyes.
I am glad you wrote that. I personally think it is the greatest song ever written, which I openly admit is a bold statement. But I can't think of a song I would rank above it personally. I too cry every time I hear it. So powerful.
It takes me back instantly. I can close my eyes and remember where I was and what this song means to me. He played this song for me so many years ago. Holy shit songs have power. Love this. I can go back to visit but it’s no where to build a home. Memories ♥️👍🏻✌🏼
@@russellcope1316 they leave such a catastrophic void when they leave. It’s losing your best friend. I feel your pain and I’ve been there. There is no love like the love of your fur kid 🐶♥️🐶
This song makes me cry. The depth to which you can love a woman is so immense, profound, irrational, intense and sometimes even beyond understanding or comprehension that when it ends, the pain is so bad you could literally be inconsolable or worse. The only thing that could possibly hurt more might be the knowledge that you could have prevented it but you didn't for whatever reason if any. I can tell this guy knows love that true and powerful I can feel it in his voice. When anyone loses love like that it hurts my soul because I know what it is like. My friends Grandparents were happily married for 65 years. Tragically she died from a heart attack. Less than 2 weeks later he walked into the ocean and that was it. So love has costs and it is nothing to take lightly. If you truly love someone tell them often, treat them that way and pray to God that you should never lose them!
Rise like a phoenix from the flames 🔥 walk on the shoreline one last time together……it don’t come down to nothing except love ❤️ in the end……..step out the shadows Cameron Brooksbank and go where YOU can shine……Brave young man I didn’t know you but your bravery was unquestionably their for Rochdale to see…..the detectives bbc iplayer November 2023
"We're gonna rise from these ashes like a BIRRRRD OF FLAAAME! Taaaake my hand, we're gonna GOOO...WHEREEE...WE..CAN.....SHIIIIIIIINE!" I can literally listen to this beautiful piece of art all day long. #TimelessClassic
@@addiaattack my wife and I saw him on the Gold in a Brass Age tour (finally!). My life was complete...for me, it was that good. Absolutely love this man and his music. Could chapter every year of my life with a song by him........
Perfect way to start 2025

I finally get to see him next year February 2025 in Portland, Oregon...He'll without a doubt be worth the wait! He's a brilliant artist.

Very well said my friend ❤

One of the best songs ever written in my humble opinion. Haunting, inspiring, beautiful.. 👏👏
Don't be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past, with your beauty so precious and the seasons so fast.
I have a broken heart and this is the sweet soundtrack.

What a great bloody song. Love it still after all these years. 😊
Just saw him perform this song last night in Virginia. So beautiful
Reduces me to tears 😭 every once in a while……😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤
Honestly.....David should be playing this song every concert....
I believe it makes it that much more intimate when he pulls it out of his bag now and then ❤
He is my favorite ❤ 💓 😍
The soundtrack to my 30 year relationship.
She was 15 now she is 45.
I love her so
I just love his music! ♥️
Thank bed too bad

David at his peerless, best. ❤

Si è vero.
Here here...as silly as it sounds this is the song that reminds me of my dog that I had to put down...we had one last walk and il meet him again....
And we walk down this shore line one last time together...step out the shade were gona go where we can shine...
