gavin said in an interview, he learned how to play because he thought that music is a great medicine. watching him play for a child with cancer makes my eyes tear up. he is my inspiration I learned to play guitar since I was a kid watching him. now I bought a piano and now learning how to play it.
I play and sing Golden Slumbers often and every time I do I think of Tucker and Gavin together. Sometimes I get through it without crying not often. RIP Tucker
This, 💯 percent. The song choice by Gavin was more powerful than most probably appreciated in that moment. The lyrics were a beautifully delivered message to Tucker in his final weeks. I don't often get openly emotional, but this video (specifically the Golden Slumbers serenade) makes me cry every time I watch it. Condolences to the family, and Kudos to Gavin for the sentiment. "Sleep pretty darling, do not cry ... and I will sing a lullaby" -PM
This video helped me stop using drugs. I was in a very dark place when I stumbled across it. Watching it, crying was one of the deepest spiritual experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve been clean for 2 years now. God is good. Thank you for helping me see beauty. I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me. Thank you Tucker and Gavin, and mom.
So sorry for the loss of your son. Cancer is such a sad thing. I'm home dealing with alot and woke up just now with Gavins lyrics on my mind so came look at music and seen this. All things happen for a reason. Sending love your way
Just came across your video. This is beautiful. Your son looks like such a special person and a beautiful Angel. I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope this helps spread awareness for childhood cancers 💕🙏
Wow, what a talented young man. So sorry for your loss. Tucker RIP you are still loved ! Thanks for posting this as you keep him in your thoughts. . And Gavin, you're a class act !
This just randomly popped up on my You Tube feed and I’m so glad it did! Please know that Tucker’s story continues to inspire. I know he’s tickling the ivories watching over all of you 😊. And what a class act too in the incomparable Gavin. God bless you all ❤️
Saw your video a couple years ago and it was heartwarming and heartbreaking. I have two daughters now and I can’t imagine the pain of losing one of my angels. Peace and love to you and your family. Thank you for inspiring me to appreciate life more today. ❤️
I have just watched this and read your story and im so sorry for you all it has brought me to tears here as i remembered my own loss but life goes on and we always remember our loved ones with happier times in mind
I have the utmost respect for Gavin Degraw after seeing this interaction. I am amazed he got through this performance. I get a lump in my throat when I watch it. His selection of Golden Slumbers is particularly significant, considering he sang it to a terminally ill young man. The original context was different, but in this instance the concept of being lovingly lulled to sleep, going home, and being at peace was a metaphor for passing on. I am profoundly sorry about the loss of Tucker and thank you for sharing such a private and moving experience.
been sitting here a couple minutes trying to put the words together to express my heartfelt sorrow for you and your family...but really cant imagine losing a child, my soul aches for you. So glad you had such a beautiful moment like this before your son passed away.
