I wrote the lyrics to this song on my dad's funeral card 2 years ago, we loved this song. Imagine my surprise when I hear the the John Lewis advert today - on his birthday! Love ya dad ❤️
It was my dad's fave song too. Ido sign language and signed supported English through song lyrics and going to do this one at the end of the year and post it for all who have lost their families whether it be Covid or not since it all started
Chelsie Glover, Sorry for your loss. He will be looking down on you knowing what you wrote and he is in these lyrics and forever will be xxx Merry Christmas xxx
Also Tayt, Grandad waited for the John lewis Christmas advert every year, he loved them, but for this one to be the first he didn't get to see with his favourite song is just amazing! Love you darling xXx
❤❤❤❤ I'm so sorry for your loss. My grandads funeral song plays in the new york part of universal studios there, and he loved florida. It's the "signs" of comfort you'll grow to appreciate one day x
Heard this song on the radio. Made me tear up I lost my daughter at 3 months old to sepsis before she was due out the hospital. I miss you so much Leah, mummy loves you always love never ends xx
Hi Mel I also lost my baby girl at 3 months in October 2021. She was a twin, her twin brother is 3 now. I am a singer and I’m singing this song this Wednesday for the homeless xxx
I don't know what's better ... listening to this or reading the comments! Kinda restores your faith in humanity in these trying times ♥️♥️ we are all wanted and special so much ... a dream to someone 😊😊😊
My sister is slow dying of a brain tumor I played this for her yesterday We both cried As we was born on same day But 10 years apart And same time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My dad died some 30 years ago and it always reminds me of him, one of my favourite songs too. I know love never ends. My hearts goes out to anyone who has lost a loved one x
Lost my grandad on the 29th of December 2020, this was his song, it was played at his funeral, it’s so special to us, feels like this Christmas advert was sent from my grandad as he knows how hard this Christmas will be👼🏼✨🤍thank you for singing this so beautifully xx
Just saw the John Lewis advertisement. Loved it and loved the song. This was a song and movie was from my generation. (I was 16 when this song came out) It will always remind me of my teenage years as a son of an expat in Africa.
I only knew you for a while I never saw your smile Till it was time to go Time to go away (time to go away) Sometimes its hard to recognise Love comes as a surprise And its too late It's just to late to stay (to late to stay) We'll always be together However far it seems (love never ends) We'll always be together Together in electric dreams Because the friendship that you gave Has taught me to be brave No matter where I go I'll never find a better prize (find a better prize) Though your miles and miles away I see you everyday I don't have to try I just close my eyes I close my eyes We'll always be together However far it seems (love never ends) We'll always be together Together in electric dreams
Lola, when I first heard your rendition of this classic song in the JL ad I just had to get it and it was played today at my mother's cremation as the curtains closed, Thank You.
Taken me a good 7 years to get here! this was the first song playing when I visited my mother after she suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage, my life spiralled out of control with the pain of losing her, this is the first Xmas that I know she would be proud of me and how I'm living, humbled by this version of the song, so gentle and sincere :)
I just saw the John Lewis Christmas 2021 commercial and had to look up the singer of this! I'm overwhelmed with emotion. It is beautiful. Congratulations on such a fantastic cover
I’ve loved the original for longer than I can remember, and this is without doubt the best cover of it I’ve ever heard. It’s such a touching rendition - truly beautiful.
Such a beautiful song, I was left crying tears of joy at the end of the song. I felt like she was singing like a mother, singing to her child. Thank you Lola Young, for bringing me joy to my heart, after a long a difficult time
I've always loved the original and this version is so beautiful. For my beautiful nephew who passed away 2 years ago 😢💙❤️ today he would've been 23. I love you forever and I'll always remember your kind heart and beautiful smile . 💙💙💙
Truly Gorgeous, I've always loved the original from the moment It was first aired and this version brought me to tears in my car when I heard it last week!! Lola you have an amazing voice and I don't have to tell you the Human League love your version as they are all angels to music, well done sweetheart xxx
"Two diffrent worlds, but one feeling!". Just because two people can no longer or never be with anyone personally, dosent mean they can be together in thought.
This song reminds me of my dog, mainly because the last video of him my mum sent before he died the original song was playing in the background and when our first Christmas without him was coming and the new JL ad song was this with this song.
Heard this on the radio had no idea it was anything to do with christmas ads, it's beautiful in this style, I'll still be listening to it long after Christmas has gone that's for sure
Heard this for the first time today at work, they cant keep bringing these tracks up todate with choirs and heavenly synths.. thought i walked into my final moments on this earth listening from 2:14 walkin from basement onto shopfloor... such a sentimental cover thankyou
Awww sounds daft but i used to listen to this after losing both my fur babies within few months of each other. The words 'i only knew you for a while,... love comes as a surprise and its to late, its just to late to stay'... Gets me every time 😢
Your music gives me chills (In a good way) had it not been for John Lewis' as campaign I may not have heard your voice. I normally hate covers of classic songs as they usually pale in comparison to the original, but this... It's a glorious reinvention. Thank you.
Wow Lola you own this song and rightly so, Very first time I heard it was on the Xmas ad a few years ago but that first time sent tingle's down my body to my toes and still does. It's truly beautifully done well done.
My best friend of 25 years died 10mos ago and my heart is still 💔 😢 He would have loved this, and Lola, too! 🥲 I will love you forever Robie, my Bezzie Mate Infinitely 😪
Hello Lola, When can you come and sing it for us live? What a master-piece resurrected with a much better harmony than the original. Keep the good work and have a fab 2022!
I do love singing along to this song it makes me appreciate what I have got&others haven't got.It still brings a cry to this song but when you really listen to it you will understand what I mean. But it isn't just Christmas it is all year,but I suppose Christmas is when everyone gets together with their family and loved ones&again covid has played its part as well.
This was me and my first boyfriend’s song and I suppose considering the lyrics it wasn’t meant to last long 😅 but this lovely cover does hit the feels.
My amazing sister died in April this year. She was so brave with her cancer battle . Please please please find a cure 🙏 😢 Lost my mum, my mums sister and my own sister to the damn disease. All too young.
I'm so sorry to read of your loss. I lost my mother to breast cancer five years ago and it was as if the world stopped for me (at the time). I can only empathise and say I completely agree with you: let's find a cure for cancer.
I went on iTunes after seeing the ad to download this version and they didn’t have it! BUT I checked later in the day and it was there! Of course I purchased it! Love it Lola!
I wrote the lyrics to this song on my dad's funeral card 2 years ago, we loved this song.
Imagine my surprise when I hear the the John Lewis advert today - on his birthday!
Love ya dad ❤️
It was my dad's fave song too. Ido sign language and signed supported English through song lyrics and going to do this one at the end of the year and post it for all who have lost their families whether it be Covid or not since it all started

I hope I can do it justice xxx
Whenever I hear this I can see my beautiful cat and know I will always ❤ see her soon in my electric dreams ❤ xx

My heart goes out to you if you are reading this ❤❤
My heart is with you.
My you be blessed with comfort and may you find peace and happiness.
We lost my mum 2 months ago today. This moved me to tears when I heard this this morning.
I don't know what's better ... listening to this or reading the comments! Kinda restores your faith in humanity in these trying times ♥️♥️ we are all wanted and special so much ... a dream to someone 😊😊😊
My sister is slow dying of a brain tumor
I played this for her yesterday
We both cried
As we was born on same day
But 10 years apart

Wow that rare!
Please keep the faith and strength of love . The whole world is with you both whatever happens . ❤️
Sending you both lots of love.❤️❤️
Im so sorry Robert. Makes me more thankful for my family.. My thoughts are with yours.

Just saw the John Lewis advertisement. Loved it and loved the song.
This was a song and movie was from my generation. (I was 16 when this song came out) It will always remind me of my teenage years as a son of an expat in Africa.
I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
Till it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes its hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
It's just to late to stay (to late to stay)
We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go
I'll never find a better prize (find a better prize)
Though your miles and miles away
I see you everyday
I don't have to try
I just close my eyes
I close my eyes
We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
The original was mine and my dads song, I’d always drag him up to dance to it, this is a beautiful version played at his funeral ❤️
Fantastic version. Well done Lola Young.
Eurovision 2023 ❤️
Lola, when I first heard your rendition of this classic song in the JL ad I just had to get it and it was played today at my mother's cremation as the curtains closed, Thank You.
Bless you and your mother ❤️
Saw her sing this for comic relief last night. It was beautiful, had me in tears 😭😍
the words the tone beautiful just lost my gorgeous little boy and this will be played at his funeral thank you
I'm very sorry to hear that. Stay strong
Taken me a good 7 years to get here! this was the first song playing when I visited my mother after she suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage, my life spiralled out of control with the pain of losing her, this is the first Xmas that I know she would be proud of me and how I'm living, humbled by this version of the song, so gentle and sincere :)
I just saw the John Lewis Christmas 2021 commercial and had to look up the singer of this! I'm overwhelmed with emotion. It is beautiful. Congratulations on such a fantastic cover
Same here; beautiful performance.
I personally think this is the best cover in there adverts to date
Agree 100%, what a beautiful cover!
Absobloodylutley
Shame John Lewis pinched it from a band called The Potraits!
This hits the heart like a truck when you think of a passed loved one or a pet you’ve lost, especially at Christmas 😩
I’ve loved the original for longer than I can remember, and this is without doubt the best cover of it I’ve ever heard. It’s such a touching rendition - truly beautiful.
Excellent cover version of a classic 80’s song. Hauntingly emotional.
Turns out, it is a rip-off of a different arrangement. Sad.
This song never meant much to me when it was around the first time, but your version hits me right in the feels ❤️
Such a beautiful song, I was left crying tears of joy at the end of the song. I felt like she was singing like a mother, singing to her child. Thank you Lola Young, for bringing me joy to my heart, after a long a difficult time
This is amazing this song has been covered slowed down what a voice what a talent I prefer this to the original
and me and i am 65
I've always loved the original and this version is so beautiful. For my beautiful nephew who passed away 2 years ago 😢💙❤️ today he would've been 23. I love you forever and I'll always remember your kind heart and beautiful smile . 💙💙💙
Truly Gorgeous, I've always loved the original from the moment It was first aired and this version brought me to tears in my car when I heard it last week!! Lola you have an amazing voice and I don't have to tell you the Human League love your version as they are all angels to music, well done sweetheart xxx
The most beautiful version of this song I have heard.. incredibly well done ...
My Bf used to sing this to me. He was killed just before his 19th birthday, over 35 years ago. I still miss him. This is beautiful ♥
"Two diffrent worlds, but one feeling!". Just because two people can no longer or never be with anyone personally, dosent mean they can be together in thought.
This beautiful remaster of a song I loved dearly❤
My nan died and this song means the world yo me knowing that it's true no matter how far it seems well always be together❤🧡💛
i absolutely love this song ❤
Same❤
Lost my grandad start of the month. This song is one of my coping mechanisms ❤️💔
This song reminds me of my dog, mainly because the last video of him my mum sent before he died the original song was playing in the background and when our first Christmas without him was coming and the new JL ad song was this with this song.
This just stops you dead in your tracks. It commands that you stop and listen. Stunning.
Beautiful representation of our united human experience of love - in this life and beyond.
people are saying they only like this because it reminds them of their lost ones or it was their lost ones fav song, i just like the song XDD
Love this song so nice very Emotional
What a beautiful singer.
Absolutely beautiful
Heard this on the radio had no idea it was anything to do with christmas ads, it's beautiful in this style, I'll still be listening to it long after Christmas has gone that's for sure
Stunning version love your voice
Heard this for the first time today at work, they cant keep bringing these tracks up todate with choirs and heavenly synths.. thought i walked into my final moments on this earth listening from 2:14 walkin from basement onto shopfloor... such a sentimental cover thankyou
I really loved this song.
Me and my daughter Lotus and my wife...
Thank you for this very dreamy song!
Did anyone else understand this. Because I did. With a mix of emotions. Another brilliant ad from John Lewis.
Lola Young,,,,,,at last someone has the sense to put up a good version of a loved classic...........
Awww sounds daft but i used to listen to this after losing both my fur babies within few months of each other. The words 'i only knew you for a while,... love comes as a surprise and its to late, its just to late to stay'... Gets me every time 😢
This version is outway the original one. Thank you so much for singing it. ❤❤❤
A beautiful arrangement of Giorgio and Phils song, well done.
Beautifully executed. One of my old time favourite songs.
Oh dear Lord, this sucks ever bit of emotion out of the song 🤯
Your ears don't work.
Love the original, but this is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL cover of it. Made me tear up 😢😢😊
It's a sad & a beautiful version, possibly we'll be all in electric dreams if these earth catastrophes keep happening..
fantastic cover, one of the best and most beautiful 80s songs imo
Your music gives me chills (In a good way) had it not been for John Lewis' as campaign I may not have heard your voice. I normally hate covers of classic songs as they usually pale in comparison to the original, but this... It's a glorious reinvention. Thank you.
My uncle died when it was like 2019 I was crying this means the world to me tysm for the amazing effort
Wow Lola you own this song and rightly so, Very first time I heard it was on the Xmas ad a few years ago but that first time sent tingle's down my body to my toes and still does. It's truly beautifully done well done.
Love this version, gorgeous vocals
My best friend of 25 years died 10mos ago and my heart is still 💔 😢

I do love singing along to this song it makes me appreciate what I have got&others haven't got.It still brings a cry to this song but when you really listen to it you will understand what I mean. But it isn't just Christmas it is all year,but I suppose Christmas is when everyone gets together with their family and loved ones&again covid has played its part as well.
I can’t be the only one who got teary eyed at the end of the John Lewis’s new advert?
Tears came down my face too, they will always be together
Maybe you are... 😁
