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

Love how also bertie puts his fathers shoes on the piano
who’s chopping onions in this room, which is also dusty, and also is covered in cat hair, which i am allergic to 😭👏👏💖💖
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.
Tom and his art deserve more recognition for sure. Though I low-key feel so lucky to have his songs on my phone without letting the other people know him

Huh, seems kinda selfish
Bertie and Tom are the dream team, this was so beautiful
'my dad was and my dad is' what a powerful line in the context of this song! perfect match.
Understated and stunning. What a masterpiece. Bringing together everyone's shared experience of grief and turning it into art to honour those lost and show how really they are all still with us. Cried from beginning to end
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.

It usually happens that way. Its hard to value things when you have them, and when not, you just realise what you had. But life is about keep going and moving on
I'm already in tears. I can hear the words.

You, and everything that you are, will be okay. Breathe, rest, take care of yourself.
Tom should be knighted for this song.
I lost one of my dearest friends almost five years ago, she was only 22. Today it's her birthday and this song really touched me. I see her in every ballerina, in every leaf that floats and I think that she is always with me. We should talk more often about anorexia.
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
this song is a goddamn miracle
"and I just found out that life is a goddamn miracle" you truly never know how wonderful something until it is gone
"I don't think I could do this without tears" indeed.
People coming together and creating something beautiful out of something sad. Let's do more of that! x
This is gorgeous I lost my grandma a year ago & she was literally my second mother & it feels like she died a week ago the grief is real & I don’t know that the pain is going to go but instead i like to say thanks that I met her. I’m so grateful that I had her as my grandmother

I lost my grandpa 3 weeks ago and he was my super hero everytime and we wanted to do so much this year but now I'm here watching this video and not feeling that alone anymore
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.

I feel the same. Im so terrified of the possible death of my grandparents. Unreal.
At 1:40 when he says, "thanks dad," and smiles I get choked up in the best of ways. I am dad and I feel such pride for his father💛
I am lucky enough to say that I have never lost anyone important to me but this song still made me feel so much. During these 4 minutes Every possible emotion went thru my body. Thank you Tom, you are truly an amazing artist but most importantly an extraordinary soul.
this made me immediately burst into tears for reasons i don't even know
this song captures such a sadness that can not be remade. truly beautiful and great to bertie working on this as well. well done everyone.
This is soso beautiful
I hope I feel love like this someday
Yup. This one is going to hurt so much. It already feels so hard. I hope making the song and the video helped you too. Love you
Why do I already feel this with just the title and the thumbnail and without even hearing the song itself?? This is gonna be good for sure.
I could write miles about this song, all your songs, you. But I don't have to. All i need is one word, Beautiful. Truly beautiful. Thank you.
I lost a classmate/friend at age eleven. even though we weren’t extremely close, his memory gives me motivation to keep going with my life. i always think that what i do, is for him, that his spirit will experience these life moments with me, beside me. i think about him a lot, and i think this is for a reason. he’s definitely my guardian angel. i miss him still.

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.
The thumbnail already got me 😭😭😭 I'm not ready...
After loosing my grandpa at the end of last year, I never really realised quite how much grief makes you appreciate the little things and realise that little quarrels aren’t the things you remember, it’s the way they make a cup of tea or the music they used to listen to. This was beautiful and moving and poignant. I love this. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much for this art. I miss my grandad so much. Its been a little over 6 months since he passed, and this made me weep for the first time since his funeral. It hurt so much but it feels good to remember him. We both loved reading and writing, and this has inspired me to start writing again, to keep our passion alive. Thank you all.
I love you, grandma. And I miss you so much, I'll never forget you. Never
The lighting is nostalgic the emotions of grief I felt in those moments. And seeing as this has been posted on the same day as 5 years ago, my grandma was and still is a light.
They keep living through what their kids and friends and loved ones do, through their art and stories
This video has soul. Inspiring in many ways. It is one of the most beautiful ways to honor the memory of someone who has gone. Thank you Tom
I feel like my life is a song largely thanks to you, Tom. Thank you. Lots of love ❤
Your music videos are so emotional and capturing. They're not just videos of random people partying on a table, it's like a story and a background that connect people. We're all connected through the stories or through music. It's beautiful
i lost both of my grandparents a year ago. i don’t think i’ve ever truly processed the grief because of how much sadness i had (/have) inside but watching this video brought back some memories i had with them. thank you
Every time. Every time your music and videos are bringing me back faith in humanity and kindness. I have tears in my eyes, what a great job you all did. Beautiful ❤️
All my love
Thank you Tom.
Life IS a goddamn miracle. 💛💛💛
i hope Mr.Tom Rosenthal never stop making music...
I cried.
My grandpa died 10 days ago. It still feels unreal and I miss him terribly. He was such a great person and an Inspiration. I am glad that I knew him.
thank you. thank you for me, thank you for my best friend who passed away two years ago. thank you for your words, thank you for your music. you saved me
I've never not cried while watching this
I've met you on the street in London today with your daughter and that just made my day! Thank you for your songs Tom!
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 can do this without tears Pick a moment fly the years What will there be left to say?

It’s good to know the song continues after their gone
this is beautiful and so heartwarming. i lost my mum almost a year ago and almost everything i know how to do is because of her. and i am so grateful she passed so much knowladge onto me in my short life. some people leave such strong mark on you and they are forever missed and forever loved once they are gone.
this song is like a warm, much-needed hug from a special person
I love you dad.
thank you to everyone involved in this. Bertie is a genious, and I'm glad Ciaran was part of this project as well, but I want to thank every individual for their wonderful contribution. You did a great job, all of you.
Nothing but tears
Love this song and love your whole work Tom, greetings from Poland! ❤️ Hope to see you in my country soon
My God, as soon as you started to sing I burst into tears. Oh the memories...
Poignant, touching, and moving...
Thank You, Tom.
This song reminds me of my grandpa. He died last March during the beginning of the pandemic. He was the funniest person I knew, always in a good mood. I miss him so much.
I’ve never seen this before. this song is iconic
One of the most beautiful videos I've seen.
the song is incredible and really hits the nail on the head with those powerful words
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.
This is so damn beautiful.
Man, this is incredible, over the time pass you make your songs more sentimental and for me that was great. You give us the words that we can't say and put them in a beautiful song. Thanks for all the things you do Tom, you are amazing.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so utterly beautiful. A true masterpiece of intimacy and love.
so now i am crying and i miss my grandpa very much.
Another beautiful video and song
this song is absolutely perfect...i lost my big sister 6 month ago... and the grief is ...real...after we lose someone...i don t think that we ever gonna be the same.cause the hole is bigger every day
It’s beautiful but not too sad. I didn’t cry.
Lost my father back in 2013,diagnosed with anxiety and depression,ended a relationship of 5 years last year,since then I have not been the same me,cried myself to sleep,lost interest in everything I loved. But anyhow your music does give some sort of joy and peace even though it's just for a minute or two,and I can't be thankful enought towards you. Thank you,Tom.
oh god, i'm crying out here. this is beautiful!!!!
Love you Tom! I share your music with my mum and she said this is your best one yet, both huge fans and somehow your music brings us together. Thank you again
I didn't know how much I needed Bertie Gilbert and Tom Rosenthal to collaborate on something till right now
He's a damn genius, every single song is a masterpiece and the videos are just art. Love it! Greets from Germany
ART ! One of my favorite musicians, well artist. Everything he does is an absolute masterpiece. And this one is one of my favorites at the moment.
I just want to thank you. This video made me cry so much and put so much emotion out of me. I had to pause the video and write an entire song and cry my heart out until I couldn’t anymore. Thank you. I can’t thank other artists enough for pulling so much emotion out of me that I can’t help but put it into art.
Beautiful!!
This is so beautifully human it hurts
Tom, you are so special
I miss my dad ❤
my fav artist and my fav director
Sweet baby Jesus
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you to Tom and Bertie, and everyone involved. Every bit of it was felt, I promise. x
Thank you, Tom. This really hit home when I saw this premier yesterday. I lost my mother in '07 and yesterday was Mothersday here in Norway. The 12th year without her. Sincerely, thank you. Keep being you
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
already crying
Gorgeous honestly
You don't find this song. It finds you when you need it most.
I'm almost crying before I even watch this Tom thank you for opening our hearts
Deep. I love you, and this song for you. Thank you very much tom.
A good cry is needed when there is so much love in one video
Well I hadn't planned in sobbing today, but I'm glad I did.
I feel privilidged I can experience your music. Thank you, such a great artist ❤
Wow.
