Reading the comments in here is heartwarming, devastating but incredibly humbling to know just how many people have related to the message in the song, within the lyrics, see themselves or a loved one in the video.. it is an honour to read these incredibly honest stories from your own lives and experiences. I will never be able to show how grateful I am to you for allowing my music to be a part of your life in such a pure and sincere way. It is genuinely what I consider my greatest achievement. Forever grateful. x
I listen this song every night before I sleep ❤ And whenever I feel lonely or left out , I always back to this song feeling it and told myself that I'm not the only one I have hope 💙 Hell.... this song means world to me 😭 Thank you for sharing this with us and we are very lucky to have a guy like you where we can look up and say .... " Yes we exist and my family will always be my side when I comeout ". 💙
Hoping for you to find that someone special to show your family, too and if you already have: even better. Stay the way you are... humble, brave and genuine.
so happy to have written this song w Calum, to have fought for the song when the label didnt want it on the album, and to see now how many lives it has touched. I applaud everyone who can live free and show the world who they are without fear
I remember crying to this 4 years ago when i found out what it meant. Thank you so much. I hope I at least get to experience being accepted like this one day
This man just knows how to get to our hearts and makes us cry ❤ this reminded me when I came out to my mom as bi and she said this exact same words, she loved me no matter what...now she's been gone for a yeat and it hurts like hell
This song is so moving for me. I'M crying like a baby right now and I'm 51 ! I still never hear my father say "I love you no matter what" If only every parents could know how important they are for their children's self esteem ! I cut the links with my parents since I am 18. They never tried to find me, they never send me any Christma's card, any birthday card. My sister told me they never spoke about me since I left. It's like I am dead for them. Calum Scott sing exactly how I felt during my childhood and after. TERRIFIED is the exact world How is it possible for a child to feel terrified in front of his parents for what he is?
I am going to be dancing to this song with my son next year on his wedding day with his partner. This song means so much to us. As we LOVE him no matter what!
You son is a very lucky gay man who has a supportive mother just as I did! I hope that he and his partner have many years to experience together and they remain devoted to each other. Because you raised him knowing that you loved him “No Matter What!” he will be able to love himself and also love others without hesitation! For that you have earned the right to be proud of yourself as well as him. As I am writing this to you I am fighting back my tears. I only wish that I still had my Mom here with me! I miss her everyday!! As the famous poem says “If only Heaven had steps to climb I would have started climbing them the moment she passed away! Your story has blessed me with sweet memories of my Mom and the unconditional love that she felt for me and she was never afraid to show me that love! When everyone turned their back to me she was standing there beside me and never waivered in her love for me! Parents fail to realize how much what they show their kids how much they are loved by them! Painful and hurtful words that are spit out towards them cause deep pain in their children. I can remember when and how my father said things to me that were intensely hurtful for me. I can’t erase or ignore the words that he spoke to me with such venomous tongue!! I will carry that pain with me until I pass away and join my Mom again. I will again have happiness in my life! That day and time will certainly happy for me! I will be able to rejoice once again!! I wish to Thank you again for sharing your story with all of us who are LGBT humans who happen to love those who love some people have decided that we should not be allowed to love who we want to! The situation is definitely improving with people’s attitude towards LGBT citizens. We are no where close to where we should be but we are making small advancements with that!! I am thankful for that at least! When I served my country in the US Navy I was not allowed to be a gay man wanting to serve and protect my country from evil and bad things happening here where we live and call home. I was constantly hassled about my sexuality! I was a very good soldier and was asked to rejoin the military that I loved and was proud to serve in. I was given a honorable discharge with full Veteran’s Rights! I just could not express how I felt and was denied my right to be able to love who or whatever I chose!! I remain bitter about this even today! Who do they think gave them the right to decide who I was allowed to truly love?? Today young LGBT humans can openly serve their country without shame or fear about who they love. I am thankful and proud that maybe I helped the future soldiers who just happen to be LGBT being allowed to serve as proud soldiers who are not forced to deny themselves happiness! Maybe I helped with our cause! Even after all the disappointments and shame I was forced to endure throughout my life I am a very proud GAY man who despite many obstacles being placed before me I was successful in competition of my problem and duty to protect my country and my President from any harm happening here in MY COUNTRY THAT I LOVE SO MUCH AND GAVE UP SO MUCH OF MYSELF TO SERVE WITH HONOR! I am so sorry for using this platform to vent my feelings so openly and so much pain with me!!
I am a 61 year old straight woman. This makes me cry because I didn't have the support of my parents for anything. I never quite measured up, even though I never got into any trouble, took care of everyone else, got straight A's in school and raised 3 kids without help. At 59, I was diagnosed with ADHD which explained all the things they always told me were my "character flaws". Thank you for this song that reaches so many people who have gone without support and unconditional love for whatever reasons. I have loved your music ever since I first saw you on BGT. Love to you and Jade
love Is far from "basic" but I know what you mean. Its the most powerful emotion in the world and can concur anything. You're right, no one should be deprived of love but if you're not loved here on this earth, you do have a heavenly Father who loves you NO MATTER WHAT!!!!
O but Love is as "Basic" as anything. It is what we are based on as Humans. For it was "God's Love" that breathed us into existence and that he loved us so much he sacrificed his only child so that we may have Eternal Life. 💯% Basic is Love and God's Love s the Only Love that matters.
I saw him perform this song live and he said this was his own personal story told through this song, and that he was deathly afraid of telling his dad. When he finally did though, he said it was beautiful and that his heart melted when his dad accepted him.
@@hypegirl4175 At Hershey Stadium in Hershey Park. I went to see Pentatonix in concert there and he was the opening act. He sang this song and told the story behind it.
I'm a 40 year old straight man and I seriously bawled my eyes out while listening to this. It is so sad to think that hundreds or thousands of people live in pain and loneliness just because of who they choose to LOVE!! humanity still has so many lessons to learn when it comes to acceptance. Less judgement, more love!
Im 45 and i pushed it all deep down in side any feelings i had bout coming out into the open and gave it no thought again now im older i would really like to find that happy place in my life calums music has made me realise not everybody will accept these choices but with a supportive group like this it makes it little bit easier
Came back to this song again, whenever I listen to this song, I'm still hoping one day my parents will be able to accept who I am, I know it's quite impossible due to culture in my country, but I'm still hoping a miracle will happen......
How have I never heard this????? Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!! Breaks my heart so many kids, teens and adults hide for years afraid of being themselves. This song hits home for our family. I will 100% love my children no matter what!!!!!
completely agree, nothing could ever change the love I have for my child! I would accept them just the way they were, and encourage them and answer any questions they had. My daughter saved my life and changed my for the better :D
I was extremely ashamed and confused as a kid and teen and even today still struggle ended up being raped by a much older guy and it left me with major trust issues
@@mattsmyth2810 I hope you're allright now. No one deserves something as deprived as that. For what it's worth, take this from a random internet user probably on the other side of the planet, it was and it will never be your fault.
He preformed as a guest at a concert, and preformed this song. I remember how still the air felt, as if the whole world had become quiet for him. The atmosphere was so peaceful. Like a sense of unity in the crowd. Everyone rose to clap. Such a beautiful song that spoke to everyone in the crowd in some form.
@Nolan Nez but it shouldn't is my point. You shouldn't have to fight should you? Everyone is entitled to love whoever they want to, no questions asked. I'm a straight man and one of my friends came out as Gay when we were 23. It didnt change our friendship or what I think of him one little bit. As long as he is happy, I'm happy for him 🥰
@Nolan Nez I just placed this in another comment from someone. It does matter to us Gay people. It matters a significant amount. There are many many many people who don't get positive responses from their parents and it makes a big difference.
I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break She said, “I love you no matter what” Damn I was about to cry
Calum when i heard this song it brought me to tears., as it stands i`m a closeted 15 yr old....and you`re song just gives me hope that maybe one day when i gather the courage to do what u did my parents would have a similar reaction.
Just know you are loved sweetheart!! ❤️ the strength will come with time and you’ll be ready when you feel it’s time. Sending all good thoughts and positive vibes your way!!
i love this song.. im straight but it still speaks to me.. im 39 and still looking for my father's approval.. i recently started therapy i cant deal this on my own anymore
I’m straight. I love this song. I am so sorry for people who have to hide, get bullied, ridiculed, etc. I hope more people see this video and receive the power calum gives you. Happy pride to you guys who need this.
My son came out to me in high school. I love him no matter what. He just got married to his boyfriend. He picked your song for the mother son dance. I cried. It was perfect. Thank you.
Sad to say that I can no longer tell my mother that this is me. I feel like she's the only one who can understand who i am. She passed away years ago when i was younger ,and until now, I am not ready to come out.
I'm a bit older, in my 70's now, so when I finally worked up the courage to tell my Mom I was gay I truly expected the worst, since things were a lot different back then. She gave me a hug and said, "Well, I guess I've been wrong about gay people my whole life, because to me you're perfect, and I love you just the way you are." My Dad and siblings took a bit longer to come around, but I knew I always had my Mom in my corner--she allowed no one to say anything negative about it. She died at 92 ten years ago, and this song brings tears because it reminds me of her and I truly miss her so much--never knew another like her.
@@mattkim5782 I'm sorry to hear you say that--but I acknowledge that for some families and cultures it's still a real struggle. It makes no sense, but it is reality. I hope you can find something that brings you enough joy to balance out the hurt and sadness.
I'm so glad you found the support with your mom and that's a wonderful memory. Having that one person who is your light and in your corner, I'm sure made all the difference in the world for you. Also, I'm so happy that your dad and siblings eventually came around. In this case, I agree with the phrase, better late than never!
@@jamesconrad940 Thanks James...of course, one must somehow find a way to survive...and I survive and endure but some how I always find something is missing, I can never truly be my own - anyhow James...have a good weekend and stay safe... :>
@ibrahim khan This question isn't as easy to answer (in my opinion) as a lot of people think. This is due to the fact that sexual attraction is a full scale and not just a binary scale for lots of people. However, in my own case, from the time I was very young, I was only attracted to males. I liked girls, but only as friends and I never fantasized about having sex with them. However, I've talked to lots of people, and everyone's experiences seem to be a bit different. I do know that certain religions and cultures can emphasize the "wrongness" of being gay to such an extent, that many people deny their own feelings for many years in order to conform to family and cultural expectations. It would even be a good idea to find a counselor you can trust to just talk to without worrying about being judged to find your own way to understanding your own feelings outside the demands of other people. I would add that most people who "wonder" if they're gay, almost always are, because very few straight people ever wonder. The wondering usually comes from trying to reconcile feelings with cultural expectations. I wish you well.
Age 23, My dad sent me this a week after I came out to him, at some point between these events, my sister told him why I was afraid to tell him, which sparked this
I remember the day I talked to my parents. I was terrified. I was in tears, but the long warm hug the gave me and saying " you are our son, and nothing will ever change that and they LOVE me anyways" I never mentioned the word. They just knew.
Enrique San that is so beautiful! Having a parents acceptance is so beautiful, because some people don’t have that. This brought me back to coming out to my parents when my dad hugged me and told me he loves me no matter what ❤️ I will never forget that moment for as long as I live.
Wow.... you are so lucky.. love them no matter what till the end.. unlike me... my parents asked me to change and they said its not acceptable plus they said this brings down their family dignity..
I was persecuted for it by my own mother. Spent my life trying to get her to accept me. Got married, had children. Got divorced, now my daughter at 26 thinks I'm a horrible dad. Impossible for a gay man to be a horrible father. I'm trying hard to figure out the problem and cannot. Your blessed and for those less fortunate move on live for you. Dont wake up 55 and alone like me.
My brother interprets this song differently. He struggled from drug addiction for years and my mom had no idea...when he first heard this song both him and my mom just Broke down in tears. This is the most beautiful song. A mother's love outweighs everything ❤
When I heard this song, i broke into tears. I grew up in a very religious background and I was so scared to come out to my family especially my dad! When I came out to my parents my parents told me “son We still love you and no matter what We will support you” I’m very fortunate to have a family the accepts me for who I’m.
Lost my mom to Lung Cancer 08/08/18, she was my very best friend and I will never love anyone as much as I loved her. She always loved me no matter what, told me just to be who i am 💜 I love you Mom! Miss you every second of every single day
I heard about Calum before and I liked it. But when I heard "If our love is wrong" and "No matter what" I discovered the great talent, feeling and authenticity in his music. This video is beautiful and so true to the lyrics! I hope it reaches many people!
Renee Garcia I just like this I was 108. Which 108 is my parents address in TN. They love me still I told them in 1994. U are amazing support is what children need. Parents need support too. ❤️❤️
Oh God if only. My family has not spoken to me for 28 years. I met my partner in 1989 we still together today 2020. The cost of love was the loss of my family. I would make the same choice again if I had a do over. My lover saved me loves me and each day our love gets stronger. I have no family but I have him.
Hi. I was reading your message and thinking..... you have a family. I'm sure you are happy and your life is full of Love ano respect of each other. Hugs and kisses from Brazil!!!!!
I relate my dad fucked me off to one of those conversion camps down south and after that I up and left I have no one but him and my love for him makes it okay.
It’s like rupaul said we get to choose our family. If they can’t accept you for who you are then it’s better to cut them out of your life. Keeping them would just make your life toxic.
When my daughter came out to me at 19 I told her “I have loved you since the day you were born, it doesn’t matter who you love as long as you’re happy” That’s all that matters, if you’re happy, be happy and enjoy life.
This video is so beautiful. And it as a powerful message to people and parents. Out there. I love you no matter what. We should all have that in our hearts and minds.
My mom died when i was 5 and my father left me now i come to this song everytime and think of my mother holding my hand saying i love you no matter what ....i just cant😥
Literally playing over and over.❤❤ It hurts to realize how much people like him and I have to feel so alone, but everything is better with someone who loves you no matter what 💕💕💕💕
Cannot imagine what it feels like to love someone and cannot show it...everybody has to be free to love whoever we want to love....my heart goes out with all those that can not come out becuase of thier closed minded family!!!
I'd be honored if some Calum Scott fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael and PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
+greatt-big dong First of all... Gays only want to love... Nothing else... Someone who is gay stay the same person, the only thing that changes is that he or she will be attracted by men or women. It's just love! You can't stop someone for loving, you can't hate someone for loving... Love is love!! Then for the reproducing part, if gays could reproduce and have babies, it wouldn't mean that the child would be gay... Cause there is no gay gene, you can't see if someone is gay by it's DNA... So the child could be straight! And you know... Stop blaming gays about this... Because it's the straight people that are having gay babies. So can you just please let the gays love...
This is exactly how my late Mum reacted when I finally told her I was gay. We lost her to cancer on the 23rd December 1997. This song has reduced me to tears.
Thank you for sharing this incredibly beautiful song. This remind me so much of my Granny who said "Oh baby I knew that, I love you no mater what". I miss her every single day, she was my entire world.
The group of words that I wanted so much to hear from my own mother. Two yrs ago she passed and I never heard them with my own ears. But every now and then I feel whispers from above, her voice finally telling me.
Thank you Calum for such a beautiful song this is the first time I have heard it. My adopted son came out to us when he was 17, it was a shock but the love I felt for him was so much stronger. This was in the early nineties and my fear was for his safety especially AIDS. He has just turned 40 and has been with his partner for over 20years. They are very happy and we have gained another son. God bless you and keep up your amazing music. To all those parents that may be facing coming out with their child just remember they are the same person that you loved and cared for before you knew as they are now.
I normally don't comment on videos, but man, this one got to me. I wish I could say that my parents have unconditional love, but I don't know if that's ever the case from time to time based on our history. This just doesn't speak to me a gay man who now walks and holds his head high, but speaks to anyone who is different or outside of the normal life. Love is love. Regardless of who we are or how we were born. Be who you were born and destined to be. Live in your truth. Love yourself, no matter what. Calum, thank you for sharing your story and living your life in truth and love, no matter what.
Literally just cried my eyes out😂 Can't begin to explain how much this song and video spoke to my soul. I lost it twice and the second I saw the dad scene I literally started sobbing. The relationship and struggles my family and I have gone through when it comes to my sexuality, has been a journey to say the least. So many ups and downs, and so many times of feeling so alone while being surrounded by people all day. You're my favorite artist because your songs truly speak to me, and it's been so long since I've seen an artist portray so many beautiful messages in an amazing way. Thank you for acknowledging that no one is alone. One day, I dream of getting to go to your concert and seeing you live. It would be nothing but an honor. Thank you for the beautiful work you do, along with the beautiful messages
No Matter What Calum Scott When I was a young boy I was scared of growing up I didn’t understand it but I was terrified of love Felt like I had to choose but it was outta my control I needed to be saved, I was going crazy on my own Took me years to tell my mother, I expected the worst I gathered all the courage in the world She said, "I love you no matter what I just want you to be happy and always be who you are" She wrapped her arms around me Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not 'Cause I love you no matter what" She loves me no matter what I got a little older wishing all my time away Riding on the pavement, every sunny day was grey I trusted in my friends then all my world came crashing down I wish I never said a thing 'cause to them I’m a stranger now I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break She said, "I love you no matter what I just want you to be happy and always be who you are" She wrapped her arms around me Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not 'Cause I love you no matter what" She loves me no matter what Now I’m a man and I’m so much wiser I walk the earth with my head held higher I got the love that I need But I was still missing one special piece My father looked at me He said I love you no matter what I just want you to be happy and always be who you are He wrapped his arms around me Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not 'Cause I love you no matter what" He loves me no matter what They love me no matter what Follow my ig @jheseikel
@@fufuerian793 oh pantes.. baru ngeh gw haha.. heran aja pas liat audisi dia di BGT ko nyanyi lagu (yg skrang jdi single prtama dia), tapi kaya lagu "cewe yg lagi kcewa krna cowo nya slingkuh didepan mata dia". Ternyata emang sekong ya. Mungkin doi pernah pacaran sama straight guy. Jadinya kecewa deh
Sowry! but you're wrong!!! i had 2, the first pissed me away when i was 4 ish, the second hated me cause she thought she had been pawned into raising an aboriginal kiddo... Mothers' love should be unconditional, i have to agree. the day that's a damned fact, i can retire... finding loving/accepting homes for children is tiresome!
When I found out my brother was gay, he was absolutely terrified. He was on the stairs of my home and he started shakingand crying. I just smiled and told him it was okay and that I loved him. No matter what.
I love my brother so much. He never had the courage to tell me but I knew it. One day I went straight to him and said I know you are gay and don't be afraid I am here for you.
When I first listened to this song, I was so touched and cried. As a woman brought up by Asian parents, many expectations to be fulfilled and rules to be followed. A simple single thing in life, I couldn't be fully enjoyed due to responsibilities and expectations.
Yadana Oo This is so so true 😣 so many expectations and what to do and what not. Everything changed when we moved to the uk but still such high expectations and pressure
my mom had a lung cancer and brain tumor and this song reminds me of the last time I saw her before she was sent in ICU where she died and told her "please come back to me" and she just smiled and told me "i'm always here" p.s.always say I love you to your loved ones while you can still hear them say "I love you" back
Jesus, this song says it all. All a child wants is love from their parents. To know that your parents love you, even though you are gay is a huge deal. Thank you so much for this song.
I'm crying because of that so very beautiful song.Thanks to my parents and to every other parent that raise their kid/kids with so much love.God loves us all.
Thanks I have come a long way to this great point and right from the very beginning you my fan have been solidly there for me , it's been a landslide but we pull through together ... your love and support are amazing and I appreciate every little effort .. always believe in yourself to achieve your goals ... Have you been to my concert before ?
At 33, I am still healing and accepting who I am and deconstructing old toxic beliefs that damaged my self worth as a person. Religion made me hate my humanity. I don't need religion moving forward from all the pain it caused me. I will find and shine my own light from now on and find joy and pride in the things I do to bring goodness to this world.
Good on you! And I completely agree with a few of the statements you made, sadly, religion does in fact destroy many people like in this example. It's a serious problem that people like you have to go through this, and have this self hatred because of the hatred they were around while growing up. I'm not saying all religions are bad but it is truly devastating that a lot of them include so much anger, indoctrination, hypocrisy, and overall hatred.
What a music video ! Tears are flowing because your tears are real at the end. You gathered all the courage in the world to tell your story to help out others people and it's beautiful, brave and more than that. Congratulations, Calum ! I hope you're proud of yourself because I'm sure I'm not the only one to be proud of you. Support from Belgium x

Kindly drop your Email address and WhatsApp number so that I can send you a direct message for a private conversation. Stay safe ❤️🎻🎼❤️🎻
My twin brother was gay. He served 20 years in the military. He hid who he was there. Never told any of his family. He retired and drank himself to death because he was so ashamed of who he was. It makes me so sad that people still hide this. Because I still love him no matter what. I got to meet the man he loved for 19 years. I wish my brother gave us a shot to accept him for who he was
Indeed. He has been out for several years and it took a lot of courage to not hide who he is, as he began his career. I too think he is a wonderful example for those working through their sexual orientation. Both young and old. Special recognition to Capitol Records who signed Calum and backs him. Simon/BGT walked away from Calum.
B B I agree 😌 I have been a huge fan of him for a while now and he opened for pentatonix who’s my favorite group and he provided lovely vibes and he walked out and right before he preformed this song he came out to the crowd (most of us already knew) and he was so genuine and kind and proud of him self which he should be . He’s Definitely changed lives
@@rea4775 He has an active Twitter account and posts often. I sort of keep up with him by checking his tweets. I just went there and he was mentioning this video. Gave him a like. Just as he was starting to formally release his music in his album, but before its release. I guess about a year ago now. I did send him a couple of tweets. One expressed my recognition of his courage and his pioneering to help others accept themselves. He actually responded. I suspect he is too busy now. So I don't send him any tweets.
I love you mom and dad... R.I.P. Happy Valentines Day to both of you! Edit... Thanks for the likes and the heartfelt messages! May all of you, your moms, dads, and loved ones, live long prosperous lives.
It's scary to accept who you are and what you want in life fearing of what others will think of you. When you do its a big weight off your chest and a big joy knowing the people you love accept your decisions and you feel stronger. Love the video I cried.😊💜
My oldest son came out to me just a few days ago, now i see this song again on my youtube page. I truly understand why he was scared, but it didn‘t change the smallest thing. Its my son, and i love him to the moon and back, no matter what!
My son came out to me 3 years ago at age 26. Breaks my heart to think of all the years he carried that secret by himself thinking he would be rejected. I love him no matter what!❤️ His therapist gave him the best advice. “Those who matter won’t mind and those who mind don’t matter”
Thanks Karen wonderful story.Im a 67 year old man in Australia who never came out.My parents died when I was young and it was so different in those days.I knew I was gay about 11 years old.You dont get a choice.You are a great loving Mum.Best wishes to you;yourson and family.Love rules.Love from Australia.
I love that advice and it's absolutely true. My whole life I was so afraid of telling my family and friends the truth that I was gay. I never got the courage to say anything I have kept this my whole life. My parents died 5 years ago and I never told them anything. Now my half sisters know that I am gay and she told me I was disgusting and said some horrible things to me and she absolutely came at me because of all sorts of things. Someone who said I would always be taken care of totally lied to my moms last request. She has totally disowned me. I still hold this inside me and til this day hardly no one knows that I am gay. I feel so alone in this world because everyone has someone and I am all alone in this world and seems no one cares and loves me at all. I cry all the time and a lot of days I am so heartbroken because I've been disabled for over 33 years and I live all alone now in my parents house. Sometimes I wish I was the one who died and my parents and baby brother was alive instead of me.
One of my greatest childhood friends came out after he moved away. He said he waited because the other kids at the school would have destroyed him and that he was afraid of what his two best friends would say. We would have stood by him and fought the war with him. He was an amazing person who was tired of seeing people be ugly towards one another. He was a scared young boy who grew into a hardworking man that was comfortable with who he was and he embraced others for who they were. Differences never mattered to him and smiling is something he really enjoyed. Unfortunately this great man was a victim in the shooting in Las Vegas and he passes away in the arms of his boyfriend that loves him to the end of the universe. You can't put a limit on love and I am deeply saddened for anyone that thinks they have to hide who they are for the sake of others. And I will always be proud of everyone that has found the courage to stand up and stand out. I am a straight woman but who am I or anyone else for that matter to have a right to tell strangers who they are supposed to love? It doesn't work that way. I love you all. You are not broken. You are human that carries human emotions, no matter what the size, race, sexual orientation etc. Love is Love and it is interpreted through each person differently. Just because it's different doesn't mean it makes it wrong. ❤
I feel sorry for your lost. I knew how devastated it must be. To be honest i felt it, i am feeling it. Because it happened to me. My BF died because of cancer couple months ago. We’ve been together for 13 years. I accompanied him beside his bed when he was dying. It was the scariest moment i ever felt. But what scarier is that there were no family of him present during his last time. All of them against him because his decision to be in relationship with another man whom he loved so truly. I would never have a word to express how heartless they were. So i listened to this song a lot and i dream in the future, people will be more educated and more understood that love is the greatest give and we can love whoever we want and there’s nothing wrong about it. When we’re in love we just the person for who they are, not because of gender, racial, religion or anything. And by reading your encouraging positive words, i feel confident that my dream will becoming reality 💖
@@spheniscusmagellanicus675 I am deeply sorry to hear about your loss. However, I am happy to know that he was loved with pure honesty and I am happy that you were there for him. You have an Angel watching over you now. I am also sad to hear about the hatred. It's ugly and it's wrong in so many ways. Nobody on this planet is allowed to tell you who and how you are supposed to love. Warm hugs to you.
your words gave me goose pimples. I am a gay man now 55 and times have changed for the better thanks in part to positive, caring and loving people such as yourself. My how the world would be so much better for all if only people saw others and with the power of love such as yourself. Sending you love and light. May they follow everywhere you go.
Emotional song heart touching voice. It's make me cry. You are the reason was the first song that I heard and I became a huge fan of you. I love your voice keep it up dear☺👌👍💖🌸
Since everyone else is doing it who’s listening to this song in 2020 Also I love this song and just the pure emotion in it and it just digs deep because it is deep
Never knew the true meaning behind this song…. I can’t play this without tearing up but for different reason. I have always seen this as a bond between a mother and son, where I have made mistakes and faced life’s challenges and my mother has always been there through thick and thin as a rock I can always count on… and the importance of the family bond. However this song resonates with you, just know you have someone to turn to that loves you no matter what (cringe but these days people need hope) ❤
This song doesn't talk about the difficulties and prejudices that someone has to experience because of being gay. It talks about your own acceptance regardless of the reason that causes not to love yourself. It talks about the love of your parents that is key to overcome those insecurities, especially at those young ages. An incredible song!!
Love conquers all. If only each human being on the face of the earth could love the other person as they love themselves. This world would be great. Beautiful song
As a bisexual I told people in school and was attacked and bullied. Before I came out I had 6 friends, I now have 1 best friend who has been by my side for 15 years. This song hits home.
Du brauchst nur einen Freund wenn es der richtige ist! Falsche Freunde ziehen dich nur runter und stehen nicht an deiner Seite wenn es drauf ankommt. Zu einem Outing, gerade während man noch in der Schule ist, gehört eine Menge Mut... Es tut mir leid, dass dein Umfeld sich schwer getan hat dich so zu akzeptieren wie du bist!
As a wise man once told me; You dont need 6 people you just need 1 bad ass guy to be with you and you will run the world together. Stay strong you got it
Calum, thank you for writing a song that really speaks volumes for all of us, I always felt who I was, but society was telling me it wasn't right to love who I married, yes I am married after 20 years with my husband, I appreciate you for your courage and for writing songs that will change the world. We count for artist like you to make a difference in society.
Reading the comments in here is heartwarming, devastating but incredibly humbling to know just how many people have related to the message in the song, within the lyrics, see themselves or a loved one in the video.. it is an honour to read these incredibly honest stories from your own lives and experiences.
I will never be able to show how grateful I am to you for allowing my music to be a part of your life in such a pure and sincere way. It is genuinely what I consider my greatest achievement.
Forever grateful. x
Thank u for making this beautiful song🥺💖🙏
I listen this song every night before I sleep ❤ And whenever I feel lonely or left out , I always back to this song feeling it and told myself that I'm not the only one I have hope 💙
Hell.... this song means world to me 😭 Thank you for sharing this with us and we are very lucky to have a guy like you where we can look up and say .... " Yes we exist and my family will always be my side when I comeout ". 💙
You are an amazing man 🌹❤
A song can change many lives. This is one of those songs. Thank you.
Hoping for you to find that someone special to show your family, too and if you already have: even better. Stay the way you are... humble, brave and genuine.
Beautiful song..I'm straight and cried like a baby when his dad looked at him and smile. Everyone deserves to be happy and accepted.
I agree with you, everyone deserves to be able to be who they are!!
Same, that last bit got me emosh, I’m straight and I’m balling in bed
You are right every one should be who the are
Not everyone is that lucky
I cried also
so happy to have written this song w Calum, to have fought for the song when the label didnt want it on the album, and to see now how many lives it has touched. I applaud everyone who can live free and show the world who they are without fear
This song has inspired and consoled so many people man. Thank you.
I remember crying to this 4 years ago when i found out what it meant. Thank you so much. I hope I at least get to experience being accepted like this one day
This man just knows how to get to our hearts and makes us cry ❤ this reminded me when I came out to my mom as bi and she said this exact same words, she loved me no matter what...now she's been gone for a yeat and it hurts like hell
This song is so moving for me. I'M crying like a baby right now and I'm 51 !
I still never hear my father say "I love you no matter what"
If only every parents could know how important they are for their children's self esteem !
I cut the links with my parents since I am 18. They never tried to find me, they never send me any Christma's card, any birthday card.
My sister told me they never spoke about me since I left. It's like I am dead for them.
Calum Scott sing exactly how I felt during my childhood and after.
TERRIFIED is the exact world
How is it possible for a child to feel terrified in front of his parents for what he is?
I wish could give you a hug 😫 Sorry to hear what you have been through. I know how it feels like.
ppppppp6614 God loves you more than anyone
ppppppp6614 I want to hug you tight now. Please do know that somewhere in this world, someone loves you and accepts you. 😢😘
dont say that, you make me crying right now
I wish you find all the love you missed in your childhood through an other person. Good luck.
I am going to be dancing to this song with my son next year on his wedding day with his partner. This song means so much to us. As we LOVE him no matter what!
That wonderful to hear
You son is a very lucky gay man who has a supportive mother just as I did! I hope that he and his partner have many years to experience together and they remain devoted to each other. Because you raised him knowing that you loved him “No Matter What!” he will be able to love himself and also love others without hesitation! For that you have earned the right to be proud of yourself as well as him.
As I am writing this to you I am fighting back my tears. I only wish that I still had my Mom here with me! I miss her everyday!! As the famous poem says “If only Heaven had steps to climb I would have started climbing them the moment she passed away! Your story has blessed me with sweet memories of my Mom and the unconditional love that she felt for me and she was never afraid to show me that love! When everyone turned their back to me she was standing there beside me and never waivered in her love for me!
Parents fail to realize how much what they show their kids how much they are loved by them! Painful and hurtful words that are spit out towards them cause deep pain in their children. I can remember when and how my father said things to me that were intensely hurtful for me. I can’t erase or ignore the words that he spoke to me with such venomous tongue!! I will carry that pain with me until I pass away and join my Mom again. I will again have happiness in my life! That day and time will certainly happy for me! I will be able to rejoice once again!!
I wish to Thank you again for sharing your story with all of us who are LGBT humans who happen to love those who love some people have decided that we should not be allowed to love who we want to! The situation is definitely improving with people’s attitude towards LGBT citizens. We are no where close to where we should be but we are making small advancements with that!! I am thankful for that at least!
When I served my country in the US Navy I was not allowed to be a gay man wanting to serve and protect my country from evil and bad things happening here where we live and call home. I was constantly hassled about my sexuality! I was a very good soldier and was asked to rejoin the military that I loved and was proud to serve in. I was given a honorable discharge with full Veteran’s Rights! I just could not express how I felt and was denied my right to be able to love who or whatever I chose!! I remain bitter about this even today! Who do they think gave them the right to decide who I was allowed to truly love?? Today young LGBT humans can openly serve their country without shame or fear about who they love. I am thankful and proud that maybe I helped the future soldiers who just happen to be LGBT being allowed to serve as proud soldiers who are not forced to deny themselves happiness! Maybe I helped with our cause! Even after all the disappointments and shame I was forced to endure throughout my life I am a very proud GAY man who despite many obstacles being placed before me I was successful in competition of my problem and duty to protect my country and my President from any harm happening here in MY COUNTRY THAT I LOVE SO MUCH AND GAVE UP SO MUCH OF MYSELF TO SERVE WITH HONOR!
I am so sorry for using this platform to vent my feelings so openly and so much pain with me!!
@@larrydavis5630 ❤️ u r awesome
@@alwinpaulalias657 Thanks so much for the compliment!
@@larrydavis5630 I think it would be good for you to forgive your father. Because then you let that pain, anger and/or other negative feelings away.
I am 71 years old - if ONLY I had seen this video 60 years ago. I know - times have changed. You are helping so many people with your bravery!!
Bravo.Im an older man who never came out.So difficult for me.Great song and best wishes from Australia.
And, I'm 69. Thank you.
I am a 61 year old straight woman. This makes me cry because I didn't have the support of my parents for anything. I never quite measured up, even though I never got into any trouble, took care of everyone else, got straight A's in school and raised 3 kids without help. At 59, I was diagnosed with ADHD which explained all the things they always told me were my "character flaws". Thank you for this song that reaches so many people who have gone without support and unconditional love for whatever reasons. I have loved your music ever since I first saw you on BGT. Love to you and Jade
Hey! Now 55 and learnt I have always been beautifully neurodivergent when I was age 50. You are, and always have been enough ❤️
💖💖💖✨
No one should ever be denied something as basic, and as human, as love.
love Is far from "basic" but I know what you mean. Its the most powerful emotion in the world and can concur anything. You're right, no one should be deprived of love but if you're not loved here on this earth, you do have a heavenly Father who loves you NO MATTER WHAT!!!!
O but Love is as "Basic" as anything. It is what we are based on as Humans. For it was "God's Love" that breathed us into existence and that he loved us so much he sacrificed his only child so that we may have Eternal Life. 💯% Basic is Love and God's Love s the Only Love that matters.
@@lloydhollycribbs1893 l
Beautiful response x
Agreed!
The very end of the video shows how personal this song is to him. It’s just beautiful and pure and ya I did cry a bit ☺️
I saw him perform this song live and he said this was his own personal story told through this song, and that he was deathly afraid of telling his dad. When he finally did though, he said it was beautiful and that his heart melted when his dad accepted him.
Beckiesue Sim that’s beautiful.
This song is about Calum telling his parents that he's gay and his parents accepted it.
@@beckiesuesim2157 This is his personal story?
Where was he performing?
@@hypegirl4175 At Hershey Stadium in Hershey Park. I went to see Pentatonix in concert there and he was the opening act. He sang this song and told the story behind it.
I'm a 40 year old straight man and I seriously bawled my eyes out while listening to this. It is so sad to think that hundreds or thousands of people live in pain and loneliness just because of who they choose to LOVE!! humanity still has so many lessons to learn when it comes to acceptance. Less judgement, more love!
Amen 🙏 friend 😇
Same here!!!
I'm 17, came out, wish my mother was supportive 🙁
@@aaronfjdjdkddjaka8301 give it time.. hopefully she will realize you are still her son... No matter what.. Hugz
Im 45 and i pushed it all deep down in side any feelings i had bout coming out into the open and gave it no thought again now im older i would really like to find that happy place in my life calums music has made me realise not everybody will accept these choices but with a supportive group like this it makes it little bit easier
Came back to this song again, whenever I listen to this song, I'm still hoping one day my parents will be able to accept who I am, I know it's quite impossible due to culture in my country, but I'm still hoping a miracle will happen......
How have I never heard this????? Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!! Breaks my heart so many kids, teens and adults hide for years afraid of being themselves. This song hits home for our family. I will 100% love my children no matter what!!!!!
completely agree, nothing could ever change the love I have for my child! I would accept them just the way they were, and encourage them and answer any questions they had. My daughter saved my life and changed my for the better :D
Same..never heard this one...it's beautiful 😭🥰
Calums got so many great songs this one is i think the greatest ive heard yet
I was extremely ashamed and confused as a kid and teen and even today still struggle ended up being raped by a much older guy and it left me with major trust issues
@@mattsmyth2810 I hope you're allright now. No one deserves something as deprived as that. For what it's worth, take this from a random internet user probably on the other side of the planet, it was and it will never be your fault.
This song made me want to cry and smile at the same time.
He preformed as a guest at a concert, and preformed this song.
I remember how still the air felt, as if the whole world had become quiet for him.
The atmosphere was so peaceful. Like a sense of unity in the crowd.
Everyone rose to clap.
Such a beautiful song that spoke to everyone in the crowd in some form.
is there a video of it here on youtube?
It was so beautiful to see him perform it. I was in tears, and here I am again.
paulthehuman I don’t think so, I truly don’t know. I would love there to be one though.
I love this song, it’s so powerful and full of love. It makes me cry and fills my heart every time I see it
The fact that Calum is gay doesn't matter at all. What does matter is how criminally under rated he is! An amazing, inspirational singer..
@Nolan Nez but it shouldn't is my point. You shouldn't have to fight should you? Everyone is entitled to love whoever they want to, no questions asked. I'm a straight man and one of my friends came out as Gay when we were 23. It didnt change our friendship or what I think of him one little bit. As long as he is happy, I'm happy for him 🥰
Is that so impossible to convert self to be heterosexual?
@@stuartr1422 you are so sweet~
@@stuartr1422 factssss
@Nolan Nez I just placed this in another comment from someone. It does matter to us Gay people. It matters a significant amount. There are many many many people who don't get positive responses from their parents and it makes a big difference.
I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face
Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break
She said, “I love you no matter what”
Damn I was about to cry
Wait, you DIDN'T CRY AT THAT PART?
Beautiful
Calum when i heard this song it brought me to tears., as it stands i`m a closeted 15 yr old....and you`re song just gives me hope that maybe one day when i gather the courage to do what u did my parents would have a similar reaction.
My child be positive and know that the world loves you no matter who you are.. you are unique and beautiful inside and out...😘❤💜💗
Just know you are loved sweetheart!! ❤️ the strength will come with time and you’ll be ready when you feel it’s time. Sending all good thoughts and positive vibes your way!!
@@lauraparker1726 yes indeed
You would have this day someday my friend! Love always comes to the one who's deserved for!
Just be glad you are you..cause you will realize you are very special in your own way...then people will be there to appreciate that...
i love this song.. im straight but it still speaks to me.. im 39 and still looking for my father's approval.. i recently started therapy i cant deal this on my own anymore
I’m straight. I love this song. I am so sorry for people who have to hide, get bullied, ridiculed, etc. I hope more people see this video and receive the power calum gives you. Happy pride to you guys who need this.
This. So much this.... there are more and more heterosexual men AND women behand all of the LGBTQ community. We will always show up for you
My son came out to me in high school. I love him no matter what. He just got married to his boyfriend. He picked your song for the mother son dance. I cried. It was perfect. Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️
A beautiful comment. Thank you for being an amazing parent to your son.
Thank goodness when I came out to my parents they both accepted me fully and completely. I love this song. ♥️
Sad to say that I can no longer tell my mother that this is me. I feel like she's the only one who can understand who i am. She passed away years ago when i was younger ,and until now, I am not ready to come out.
This got me so emotional 🥺
Calum a beautiful song that touches the heart and soul of many you've got a wonderful voice ❤️
I'm a bit older, in my 70's now, so when I finally worked up the courage to tell my Mom I was gay I truly expected the worst, since things were a lot different back then. She gave me a hug and said, "Well, I guess I've been wrong about gay people my whole life, because to me you're perfect, and I love you just the way you are." My Dad and siblings took a bit longer to come around, but I knew I always had my Mom in my corner--she allowed no one to say anything negative about it. She died at 92 ten years ago, and this song brings tears because it reminds me of her and I truly miss her so much--never knew another like her.
James, I'm 55 and I don't know when I can come out to my family...gay life = sad life, sad but truth
@@mattkim5782 I'm sorry to hear you say that--but I acknowledge that for some families and cultures it's still a real struggle. It makes no sense, but it is reality. I hope you can find something that brings you enough joy to balance out the hurt and sadness.
I'm so glad you found the support with your mom and that's a wonderful memory. Having that one person who is your light and in your corner, I'm sure made all the difference in the world for you. Also, I'm so happy that your dad and siblings eventually came around. In this case, I agree with the phrase, better late than never!
@@jamesconrad940 Thanks James...of course, one must somehow find a way to survive...and I survive and endure but some how I always find something is missing, I can never truly be my own - anyhow James...have a good weekend and stay safe... :>
@ibrahim khan This question isn't as easy to answer (in my opinion) as a lot of people think. This is due to the fact that sexual attraction is a full scale and not just a binary scale for lots of people. However, in my own case, from the time I was very young, I was only attracted to males. I liked girls, but only as friends and I never fantasized about having sex with them. However, I've talked to lots of people, and everyone's experiences seem to be a bit different. I do know that certain religions and cultures can emphasize the "wrongness" of being gay to such an extent, that many people deny their own feelings for many years in order to conform to family and cultural expectations. It would even be a good idea to find a counselor you can trust to just talk to without worrying about being judged to find your own way to understanding your own feelings outside the demands of other people. I would add that most people who "wonder" if they're gay, almost always are, because very few straight people ever wonder. The wondering usually comes from trying to reconcile feelings with cultural expectations. I wish you well.
I used this song to confess my sexuality this Christmas. Couldn’t be more grateful for this inspiration.
Thats grate
skyler robinson I’m glad I wasn’t the only one 😂🏳️🌈 congrats!! It feels so much better afterwards
❤️
That's awesomeness
Age 23, My dad sent me this a week after I came out to him, at some point between these events, my sister told him why I was afraid to tell him, which sparked this
I swear I cried when I was listening to this song! Thank you! Such a beautiful song!
I am 55 years old. When I was 25 I had a different perspective...these days...this video got me. Love who you love.
I remember the day I talked to my parents. I was terrified. I was in tears, but the long warm hug the gave me and saying " you are our son, and nothing will ever change that and they LOVE me anyways" I never mentioned the word. They just knew.
You are adopted
KAPPA
Enrique San that is so beautiful! Having a parents acceptance is so beautiful, because some people don’t have that. This brought me back to coming out to my parents when my dad hugged me and told me he loves me no matter what ❤️ I will never forget that moment for as long as I live.
Cool!
Wow.... you are so lucky.. love them no matter what till the end.. unlike me... my parents asked me to change and they said its not acceptable plus they said this brings down their family dignity..
I was persecuted for it by my own mother. Spent my life trying to get her to accept me. Got married, had children. Got divorced, now my daughter at 26 thinks I'm a horrible dad. Impossible for a gay man to be a horrible father. I'm trying hard to figure out the problem and cannot. Your blessed and for those less fortunate move on live for you. Dont wake up 55 and alone like me.
My brother interprets this song differently. He struggled from drug addiction for years and my mom had no idea...when he first heard this song both him and my mom just Broke down in tears. This is the most beautiful song. A mother's love outweighs everything ❤
When I heard this song, i broke into tears. I grew up in a very religious background and I was so scared to come out to my family especially my dad! When I came out to my parents my parents told me “son We still love you and no matter what We will support you” I’m very fortunate to have a family the accepts me for who I’m.
they must not believe the Bible because things like that are against the Bible and God.
What a bitch to say this!
this song never gets old no matter how much i listen i never get bored
ikr?? i love this song so much🥺♥️

May her soul rest in peace
Im sorry for your loss man. But August 8 is my birthday and it makes me sad to hear she passed on that date☹️
Thank you all for your condolences, who knew that condolences from strangers could mean so much to somebody!
I heard about Calum before and I liked it. But when I heard "If our love is wrong" and "No matter what" I discovered the great talent, feeling and authenticity in his music. This video is beautiful and so true to the lyrics! I hope it reaches many people!
They’re both amazing. No need to compare, they have different qualities that make them stand out and shine. Amazing collaboration guys 🎉😊

Are you Brazilian?
Oh God if only. My family has not spoken to me for 28 years. I met my partner in 1989 we still together today 2020. The cost of love was the loss of my family. I would make the same choice again if I had a do over. My lover saved me loves me and each day our love gets stronger. I have no family but I have him.
Hi. I was reading your message and thinking..... you have a family. I'm sure you are happy and your life is full of Love ano respect of each other. Hugs and kisses from Brazil!!!!!
I can’t imagine having to make that choice and I’m sorry that you had to. So glad you have one another though ❤️
I relate my dad fucked me off to one of those conversion camps down south and after that I up and left I have no one but him and my love for him makes it okay.
It’s like rupaul said we get to choose our family. If they can’t accept you for who you are then it’s better to cut them out of your life. Keeping them would just make your life toxic.
I pray for you and God bless you 🤗 Happy 2020😃 Juntos venceremos el Coronavirus 🙏😷
When my daughter came out to me at 19 I told her “I have loved you since the day you were born, it doesn’t matter who you love as long as you’re happy” That’s all that matters, if you’re happy, be happy and enjoy life.
Your an amazing parent thank you
So heartwarming!!!😭😌☺️
This video is so beautiful. And it as a powerful message to people and parents. Out there. I love you no matter what. We should all have that in our hearts and minds.

That's me and it's sucks. But you know it might be better if I die than have to live like this, pretend to be not who I am.
sad insnt it
This is how society should be... Loving everyone no natter what...
I'd be honored if some Calum Scott fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael and PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Yeah like Jesus
More pussy for me.
@@kushOG-tq5gq virgin?
+greatt-big dong First of all... Gays only want to love... Nothing else... Someone who is gay stay the same person, the only thing that changes is that he or she will be attracted by men or women. It's just love! You can't stop someone for loving, you can't hate someone for loving... Love is love!! Then for the reproducing part, if gays could reproduce and have babies, it wouldn't mean that the child would be gay... Cause there is no gay gene, you can't see if someone is gay by it's DNA... So the child could be straight! And you know... Stop blaming gays about this... Because it's the straight people that are having gay babies. So can you just please let the gays love...
This is exactly how my late Mum reacted when I finally told her I was gay. We lost her to cancer on the 23rd December 1997. This song has reduced me to tears.

07:23 hey how are you doing?
Thank you Calum for such a beautiful song this is the first time I have heard it. My adopted son came out to us when he was 17, it was a shock but the love I felt for him was so much stronger. This was in the early nineties and my fear was for his safety especially AIDS. He has just turned 40 and has been with his partner for over 20years. They are very happy and we have gained another son. God bless you and keep up your amazing music. To all those parents that may be facing coming out with their child just remember they are the same person that you loved and cared for before you knew as they are now.
I normally don't comment on videos, but man, this one got to me. I wish I could say that my parents have unconditional love, but I don't know if that's ever the case from time to time based on our history. This just doesn't speak to me a gay man who now walks and holds his head high, but speaks to anyone who is different or outside of the normal life. Love is love. Regardless of who we are or how we were born. Be who you were born and destined to be. Live in your truth. Love yourself, no matter what. Calum, thank you for sharing your story and living your life in truth and love, no matter what.
well said man
Well said
Respect man you got me !!!!
!!
Literally just cried my eyes out😂
Can't begin to explain how much this song and video spoke to my soul. I lost it twice and the second I saw the dad scene I literally started sobbing.
The relationship and struggles my family and I have gone through when it comes to my sexuality, has been a journey to say the least.
So many ups and downs, and so many times of feeling so alone while being surrounded by people all day.
You're my favorite artist because your songs truly speak to me, and it's been so long since I've seen an artist portray so many beautiful messages in an amazing way.
Thank you for acknowledging that no one is alone.
One day, I dream of getting to go to your concert and seeing you live. It would be nothing but an honor.
Thank you for the beautiful work you do, along with the beautiful messages
That is the exact scene that got me.
me too😭🙈
This song makes me bawl every time it’s so beautiful ❤
No Matter What
Calum Scott
When I was a young boy I was scared of growing up
I didn’t understand it but I was terrified of love
Felt like I had to choose but it was outta my control
I needed to be saved, I was going crazy on my own
Took me years to tell my mother, I expected the worst
I gathered all the courage in the world
She said, "I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
She loves me no matter what
I got a little older wishing all my time away
Riding on the pavement, every sunny day was grey
I trusted in my friends then all my world came crashing down
I wish I never said a thing 'cause to them I’m a stranger now
I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face
Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break
She said, "I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
She loves me no matter what
Now I’m a man and I’m so much wiser
I walk the earth with my head held higher
I got the love that I need
But I was still missing one special piece
My father looked at me
He said I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are
He wrapped his arms around me
Said, "Don’t try to be what you’re not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
He loves me no matter what
They love me no matter what

Ternyata emang sekong ya. Mungkin doi pernah pacaran sama straight guy. Jadinya kecewa deh

A mother’s love is unconditional. The only thing a mother wants is for her children to be happy.
Read some of the comments. Not all mother's of LGBT children act the way you describe.
Sowry! but you're wrong!!! i had 2, the first pissed me away when i was 4 ish, the second hated me cause she thought she had been pawned into raising an aboriginal kiddo... Mothers' love should be unconditional, i have to agree. the day that's a damned fact, i can retire... finding loving/accepting homes for children is tiresome!
meh
Some mothers..
If it were any of my kids it would not matter to me I love them for who they are. Simple
When I found out my brother was gay, he was absolutely terrified.
He was on the stairs of my home and he started shakingand crying.
I just smiled and told him it was okay and that I loved him.
No matter what.
Champion mate.I wish my Bro was like you.We dont even talk.
I love my brother so much. He never had the courage to tell me but I knew it. One day I went straight to him and said I know you are gay and don't be afraid I am here for you.
Fantastic lyrics.
All parents should listen to this and raise their children with this in the forefront of their minds.
yesssssss
yeah.. if only people would be more understanding to one another, whether its parent-child, friends, family, and others.. :")
When I first listened to this song, I was so touched and cried. As a woman brought up by Asian parents, many expectations to be fulfilled and rules to be followed. A simple single thing in life, I couldn't be fully enjoyed due to responsibilities and expectations.
Yadana Oo This is so so true 😣 so many expectations and what to do and what not. Everything changed when we moved to the uk but still such high expectations and pressure
I feel you sister. Remember your not alone. :") we re all in this together
I feel it too :(
I just wanted to say thank you for putting what I'm going through in words. I have so much to say, but too afraid to let it out.

my mom had a lung cancer and brain tumor and this song reminds me of the last time I saw her before she was sent in ICU where she died and told her "please come back to me" and she just smiled and told me "i'm always here"
p.s.always say I love you to your loved ones while you can still hear them say "I love you" back
Sorry for your lost
She is sitting right beside u, she would be there no matter what
Aww🤭😥 I am so sorry!

I'm really looking forward to a collaboration of calum Scott and James Arthur
Atiku A L that would be awesome
That would make my life complete
And sam smith. Gosh that would be amazing
That would be divine ❤️
Yes! That would be so lovely!
Jesus, this song says it all. All a child wants is love from their parents. To know that your parents love you, even though you are gay is a huge deal. Thank you so much for this song.
I just recently came out, and I haven't quite gotten this support. But I love who I am and I'm proud of myself!
You go, girl!
Be brave. There’s a huge community out there to support you
Me to! Have courage!
And girl that’s all you need!! So proud of you, keep on being you 🥺❤️

I'm not part of the LGBTQ community but I support all of y'all! Be you! Be and stay the strong beautiful humans that yall are! Much love!💖💗💓💞💕❤
No Matter What this song is beautiful
You are right
Yeah
I'm crying because of that so very beautiful song.Thanks to my parents and to every other parent that raise their kid/kids with so much love.God loves us all.
Thanks
I have come a long way to this great point and right from the very beginning you my fan have been solidly there for me , it's been a landslide but we pull through together ... your love and support are amazing and I appreciate every little effort .. always believe in yourself to achieve your goals ... Have you been to my concert before ?
At 33, I am still healing and accepting who I am and deconstructing old toxic beliefs that damaged my self worth as a person. Religion made me hate my humanity. I don't need religion moving forward from all the pain it caused me. I will find and shine my own light from now on and find joy and pride in the things I do to bring goodness to this world.
Good on you! And I completely agree with a few of the statements you made, sadly, religion does in fact destroy many people like in this example. It's a serious problem that people like you have to go through this, and have this self hatred because of the hatred they were around while growing up. I'm not saying all religions are bad but it is truly devastating that a lot of them include so much anger, indoctrination, hypocrisy, and overall hatred.
@@DesignedAssassinJust look at some of the religious hatred on bidens speech about lgbt people one deemed it a mental illness
Religión hurts. God never fails. Belive.
What a music video ! Tears are flowing because your tears are real at the end. You gathered all the courage in the world to tell your story to help out others people and it's beautiful, brave and more than that. Congratulations, Calum ! I hope you're proud of yourself because I'm sure I'm not the only one to be proud of you. Support from Belgium x

My twin brother was gay. He served 20 years in the military. He hid who he was there. Never told any of his family. He retired and drank himself to death because he was so ashamed of who he was. It makes me so sad that people still hide this. Because I still love him no matter what. I got to meet the man he loved for 19 years. I wish my brother gave us a shot to accept him for who he was
So heartbreaking. I’m sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for you my brother is gay too. But I still love him it makes no difference to me
That is such a tragedy. I am so sorry.
I'll meet your brother when it's my time
You don't know where we live but tell me when it's your time, he's a great guy.
This song saved My life
So beautiful Calum , thank you for sharing. Thank you for helping young kids be who they are. You’re truly pure gold ❤️
Indeed. He has been out for several years and it took a lot of courage to not hide who he is, as he began his career. I too think he is a wonderful example for those working through their sexual orientation. Both young and old.
Special recognition to Capitol Records who signed Calum and backs him. Simon/BGT walked away from Calum.
B B I agree 😌 I have been a huge fan of him for a while now and he opened for pentatonix who’s my favorite group and he provided lovely vibes and he walked out and right before he preformed this song he came out to the crowd (most of us already knew) and he was so genuine and kind and proud of him self which he should be . He’s Definitely changed lives
@@rea4775 He has an active Twitter account and posts often. I sort of keep up with him by checking his tweets. I just went there and he was mentioning this video. Gave him a like.
Just as he was starting to formally release his music in his album, but before its release. I guess about a year ago now. I did send him a couple of tweets. One expressed my recognition of his courage and his pioneering to help others accept themselves. He actually responded. I suspect he is too busy now. So I don't send him any tweets.
I love you mom and dad... R.I.P. Happy Valentines Day to both of you!
Edit... Thanks for the likes and the heartfelt messages! May all of you, your moms, dads, and loved ones, live long prosperous lives.

Hey how are you doing?
June 2020
Pride month
This song speaks volume❤
✊🏻😌
It's scary to accept who you are and what you want in life fearing of what others will think of you. When you do its a big weight off your chest and a big joy knowing the people you love accept your decisions and you feel stronger. Love the video I cried.😊💜
Anyone else crying while singing and tears just keep falling down even more?😭
Life Time
This song saved me from cutting. I can tell I cried.
Always.... Whenever this song rings in my head😔
so you can be used to work 😢😭
I was as well I still cry when I hear it now and I listen to it like ten times a day I cry because I’m scared to tell my mum that I’m bisexual x
😢😢😢😢💔😭
My oldest son came out to me just a few days ago, now i see this song again on my youtube page. I truly understand why he was scared, but it didn‘t change the smallest thing. Its my son, and i love him to the moon and back, no matter what!
I’m in tears ... thank you for this song ! You courageous ! I love you 💜
My son came out to me 3 years ago at age 26. Breaks my heart to think of all the years he carried that secret by himself thinking he would be rejected. I love him no matter what!❤️ His therapist gave him the best advice. “Those who matter won’t mind and those who mind don’t matter”
Thanks Karen wonderful story.Im a 67 year old man in Australia who never came out.My parents died when I was young and it was so different in those days.I knew I was gay about 11 years old.You dont get a choice.You are a great loving Mum.Best wishes to you;yourson and family.Love rules.Love from Australia.
Your son is lucky to have you if only everyone was like you. Your comment is wonderful. ❤
I love that advice and it's absolutely true. My whole life I was so afraid of telling my family and friends the truth that I was gay. I never got the courage to say anything I have kept this my whole life. My parents died 5 years ago and I never told them anything. Now my half sisters know that I am gay and she told me I was disgusting and said some horrible things to me and she absolutely came at me because of all sorts of things. Someone who said I would always be taken care of totally lied to my moms last request. She has totally disowned me. I still hold this inside me and til this day hardly no one knows that I am gay. I feel so alone in this world because everyone has someone and I am all alone in this world and seems no one cares and loves me at all. I cry all the time and a lot of days I am so heartbroken because I've been disabled for over 33 years and I live all alone now in my parents house. Sometimes I wish I was the one who died and my parents and baby brother was alive instead of me.
I can feel the raw emotion of the song because of Calum's voice
So BEAUTIFUL and honest💜!
Ikr I love his voice
Beautiful... I have anxiety, this is so calming
Hey dear how are you doing?
One of my greatest childhood friends came out after he moved away. He said he waited because the other kids at the school would have destroyed him and that he was afraid of what his two best friends would say. We would have stood by him and fought the war with him. He was an amazing person who was tired of seeing people be ugly towards one another. He was a scared young boy who grew into a hardworking man that was comfortable with who he was and he embraced others for who they were. Differences never mattered to him and smiling is something he really enjoyed. Unfortunately this great man was a victim in the shooting in Las Vegas and he passes away in the arms of his boyfriend that loves him to the end of the universe. You can't put a limit on love and I am deeply saddened for anyone that thinks they have to hide who they are for the sake of others. And I will always be proud of everyone that has found the courage to stand up and stand out. I am a straight woman but who am I or anyone else for that matter to have a right to tell strangers who they are supposed to love? It doesn't work that way. I love you all. You are not broken. You are human that carries human emotions, no matter what the size, race, sexual orientation etc. Love is Love and it is interpreted through each person differently. Just because it's different doesn't mean it makes it wrong. ❤
I feel sorry for your lost. I knew how devastated it must be. To be honest i felt it, i am feeling it. Because it happened to me. My BF died because of cancer couple months ago. We’ve been together for 13 years. I accompanied him beside his bed when he was dying. It was the scariest moment i ever felt. But what scarier is that there were no family of him present during his last time. All of them against him because his decision to be in relationship with another man whom he loved so truly. I would never have a word to express how heartless they were. So i listened to this song a lot and i dream in the future, people will be more educated and more understood that love is the greatest give and we can love whoever we want and there’s nothing wrong about it. When we’re in love we just the person for who they are, not because of gender, racial, religion or anything. And by reading your encouraging positive words, i feel confident that my dream will becoming reality 💖
@@spheniscusmagellanicus675 I am deeply sorry to hear about your loss. However, I am happy to know that he was loved with pure honesty and I am happy that you were there for him. You have an Angel watching over you now. I am also sad to hear about the hatred. It's ugly and it's wrong in so many ways. Nobody on this planet is allowed to tell you who and how you are supposed to love. Warm hugs to you.
@@spheniscusmagellanicus675 im sorry to Hear that =(
Thank you ❤️
your words gave me goose pimples. I am a gay man now 55 and times have changed for the better thanks in part to positive, caring and loving people such as yourself. My how the world would be so much better for all if only people saw others and with the power of love such as yourself. Sending you love and light. May they follow everywhere you go.
Emotional song heart touching voice. It's make me cry. You are the reason was the first song that I heard and I became a huge fan of you. I love your voice keep it up dear☺👌👍💖🌸
Same here
Same here
Since everyone else is doing it who’s listening to this song in 2020
Also I love this song and just the pure emotion in it and it just digs deep because it is deep
Nice edit
is he gay
Ashley Paterson is it a problem?

Never knew the true meaning behind this song…. I can’t play this without tearing up but for different reason.
I have always seen this as a bond between a mother and son, where I have made mistakes and faced life’s challenges and my mother has always been there through thick and thin as a rock I can always count on… and the importance of the family bond.
However this song resonates with you, just know you have someone to turn to that loves you no matter what (cringe but these days people need hope) ❤
This song doesn't talk about the difficulties and prejudices that someone has to experience because of being gay. It talks about your own acceptance regardless of the reason that causes not to love yourself. It talks about the love of your parents that is key to overcome those insecurities, especially at those young ages.
An incredible song!!
Amem to that. My Son is Autisic and I make sure he knows daily, I love him no matter what
Agrree
Love conquers all. If only each human being on the face of the earth could love the other person as they love themselves. This world would be great. Beautiful song
Exactly! Who care about bad and hateful human?? Ignore their words and actions is the best way to enjoy your life.

As a bisexual I told people in school and was attacked and bullied. Before I came out I had 6 friends, I now have 1 best friend who has been by my side for 15 years. This song hits home.
Du brauchst nur einen Freund wenn es der richtige ist! Falsche Freunde ziehen dich nur runter und stehen nicht an deiner Seite wenn es drauf ankommt.
Zu einem Outing, gerade während man noch in der Schule ist, gehört eine Menge Mut...
Es tut mir leid, dass dein Umfeld sich schwer getan hat dich so zu akzeptieren wie du bist!
A true friend! Keep your head up and stay positive. Let the haters hate. That's their problem not yours.
As a wise man once told me; You dont need 6 people you just need 1 bad ass guy to be with you and you will run the world together. Stay strong you got it

Calum, thank you for writing a song that really speaks volumes for all of us, I always felt who I was, but society was telling me it wasn't right to love who I married, yes I am married after 20 years with my husband, I appreciate you for your courage and for writing songs that will change the world. We count for artist like you to make a difference in society.
