LYRICS :
I don't think I could sing this song to you
Hold my lips and power through
Think about a different day
I don't think I could do this without tears
Pick a moment, fly the years
What will there be left to say?
Oh my life is a song for you
Oh my life is a song for you
I don't think I could hide you in my mind
All those questions left behind
Answers in forgotten dreams
I don't think I could lead it like you lead
Read the books that you once read
Back in other lives
Oh you would hate this to be sad
The moments we've had
And I've just found out that life is a goddamn miracle
And the ending is a song
And there are a life time of words that I could say
But I've got none
I don't think I could love you any more
Take a minute feel it soar
I have got this till I'm gone
And if there is a light that tumbles through
How could it just not be you?
Hiding in the sun
Oh you would hate this to be sad
The moments we've had
And I've just found out that life is a goddamn miracle
And the ending is a song
And there are a life time of words that I could say
But I've got none
I don't think I could sing this song to you
Hold my lips and power through
Think about a different day
Oh my life is a song for you
Oh my life is a song for you

    10 years ago, my boyfriend and I decided to split. We stayed together from our 18 to 28 years old. We still loved each other, but we were not sure how to continue. Few weeks after, 13 september 2010, he didn’t come to his work. I was called, and I found him, alone, in what was our flat, dead from a heartattack. Today I am a mum, I am in love with my husband. Nevertheless, I still read his letters and try to live the best I can. Thanks Tom for being able to capture so well in words what is hidden in our hearts. See you in Paris next week.

    This made me miss my Nana so much. She was this incredible cook and baker and she made clothes and raised 7 boys and ran a farm and drove a Land Rover without power steering! I wasted my time with her, the things I so desperately want to master now, she could have taught me. The cooking and the sewing and the making bread every day from scratch. My mum told me I had inherited her intuition when I cook and I cried into the pans on the stove. I have her apron and her salt pot with the little wedge of cork cut out the lid to fit a spoon in. Every time I add salt, I think of her.

    My mom is sick. She has had alcohol psychosis since I was born and has been shouting at me day after day, calling me the devil until she moved out. Since then I've seen her occasionally. Yesterday was the last time in a year. It was wonderful. I was crying in her arms in the evening and we were talking about all this. That she knows that she was sick and still is. This knowledge cannot be taken for granted. And this morning she yelled at me again and said that I should go home now. It's the same every time. A message just came from her about how proud she was of me and that she had a guilty conscience. Shit how much I love her This song makes me miss the old times so bad, when she was healthy, caring and playing with me

    My grandfather loved to travel... he worked so damn much his whole life. He never spoke that much... but it always was thoughtful when he did. I always thought he never loved me as much as my big sister cause he always traveled with her instead of me. Then there was my 18 Birthday and then christmas... I got a letter from him with an invitation for travelling with him. 3 months after Christmas he died... and when I was in that far far away country I was sure he was there with me and when I think to much about it I start to cry again. Your Music does something to me.. it's good I think. Thank you for your music ♡

    I've been fortunate enough that throughout my 18 years of life I have never experienced a death of any loved ones yet. Its something that quite honestly terrifies me because I know that any moment could be the last with the people I love. Death has always terrified me as well since I don't believe in an afterlife, so death truly will be the end in my mind. Even with all of this, this song helps me feel the emotions and prep for the inevitable that I know will have to come. Your music never fails to bring emotion out of me and I love that.

    Sorry to hear that Sabrina. Please don't blame me though. 🙏 It wasn't my fault. I miss my mum and dad. I have nobody from my family on my side. I never realized Karen giving me the dose with a defective medical pen would cause so much chaos and pain in people's lives. I wish I had upgraded my locks when starting fertility treatment. It has caused major mental health issues for children which breaks my heart. I have also had childhood trauma memory issues from the age of 10 u 13. I never knew Tom Luke or his brother Simon from Friday night dinner but his work with Marie Curie is a good cause.

    This song means so much to me, I had a very deep connection with my uncle, he practically replaced my dad. There were so many times he sacrificed parts of his life for me, just to keep me happy. We shared so many wonderful moments together his presence and his wisdom occupied a huge part of my heart. I cannot express enough how my heart felt after he had passed. It felt as if I was missing half of my life when he wasn’t in it. I wish I could’ve expressed my hurt to my other family members but I just didn’t know how to do that. So when I performed this song on guitar for my whole family during a remembrance event for my uncle, I felt as if that was the most effective way to express and share how much I loved and still love my uncle for how much he affected my life. I want to thank Tom for creating such a beautiful song that helped me express my emotions. Thank you so much and please never stop creating such beautiful art. I am also very sorry for how this is written as English is not my first language but I felt the urge to express my thoughts.

    My dad died last saturday and I want to thank Tom for helping me grief... In a time like this I find it hard to not try to act strong, I get confused and I don't know how to let it out... but this song makes me remember that my dad will still be with me and I have so much of him in me... Thank you so much Tom

    A good cry is needed when there is so much love in one video
