My daughter, Kassidy, and I love this song. My beautiful Kassidy died on Oct 10, 2021 from Covid pneumonia after she fought courageously for 2 months to stay alive. She was 35 with 2 young children. A BIG piece of my heart died with her that day. This was the first song I played at her funeral. It’s a beautiful song and it captures the love I have for her. I have loved you Kassidy for a thousand years and will love you for a thousand more.

My wife loved this song. She sang it to me when we got married in 2017 and God she could sing. She literally saved me after my divorce in 2011. I lost her on March 27th. This song crushes me with memories of her every time I hear it. For you Vicki, we will see each other on the other side.

I have finally found my true love.we are in our 50s and we feel like 16 again. Never give up.

We don't search for new songs We search for old memories ❤

My ex-wife lost her battle to breast cancer 2 years ago. I had used a few lines of this song to express how I felt when we had first met in my eulogy of her. This song still wrecks me in the middle of the night while watching over our son.

My son died 6 years ago in the age of 6. This song reminds me so much about him. I feel for the distance and I know one day we'll meet again. Love you my son. ❤️

3 people, a piano, one guitar and a grand voice. That all you need. Love this song

One of the most beautiful songs created by human kind

I dedicate this to my wife. Tina, I love you as much , no more, today than I did 52 years ago. You have been my first and only love. I will love you for a thousand years.

to everyone passing by to listen, remember there is always someone that loves you, even in the lowest moment. spread love as much as you can, and love will surround you always and forever.

This is my husband's and I song. When he passed away in 2020 I played this as he was passing at home in hospice.

The day we met, Frozen I held my breath Right from the start I knew that I'd found a home for my heart Beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone? All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow One step closer I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this One step closer I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more I'll love you for a thousand more Ohh One step closer I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

Dedicated to a husband I lost 4 years ago. But I will love him for a thousand years. RIP Mark Josey🙏✌❤

Tell me I'm not the only guy that has tears welled up in his eyes. I don't connect the song to any past lover, any child etc... I'm just overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of it. After watching the studio version, which floored me, I found this clip and I'll tell ya... for me the Earth stopped rotating on its axis for ten minutes.

I’m here because on Friday I’ll see a doctor to find out if I’ve got the thing that killed my dad. My daughter is 3 years old. Whatever your faith, whatever you believe, if you can, pray for me.

To my hero who died 39 yrs ago,my MOM

I'm 61 and this song really touch's my heart. I don't know how people can come up with such beautiful words. Thank God they do.

Possibly one of the most beautiful songs of all times. Hundreds of years down the line, people will be singing this song.

I found the love of my life at 16 and when we broke up then we went on with our lives until we met again 20 years later. We're now married for almost a decade This song reminds me that I found the one who is meant for me after all the challenges we both went through. Our love was never forgotten even after all these years ❤️

This is the ring tone when my husband calls. Called rather, my Mike passed away May 15. The other day I thought, wait, it will be my ringtone for when EVERYONE calls….. every time my phone rings I think of my beloved Mike❤️💔

I have sung this song at a wedding & now as I'm preparing to sing it at a funeral, it amazes me how the same words can fit 2 totally different circumstances.. But that's what beautiful music is, words for every story..😢

I’m dedicating this to all of you out there fighting for you and yours .... stay safe and may God watch over you.

June 15, 2024, Saturday. Philippines. A Thousand Years was the length of time I waited to find true love. I found true love on April 17, 1960.

The first part makes me cry so hard because I just picture me as a young teen given birth and seeing my first born son being placed on Me that was love at first sight. He died at 21 in 2021 . I hope I get to be his mom in every life we live here on earth

I heard this song a few days before the death of my dear husband: companion, friend and partner. For a thousand years I will love him, and I await the day when God will make it possible for us to be reunited.

Listening to this song while reading the comments melts my heart...nothing like the power of love

2021 and still listening and will listen for a thousand years more. (I hope you are all doing fine in this pandemic)

Most beautiful song I've ever heard. Goosebumps

This is probably the most beautiful love song ever written.

I had asked my wife to listen to this song when I first heard it. After nearly 45 years of marriage this song brings back the day that we me and started dating. We're like a movie of our life the day that it started off slowly. Then it fast forward like a movie on warp speed. Then our time together ended as suddenly as it started.

With this softly playing in the background I held the hand of my forever love, my husband of 31 years as he took his final breath. Walking him home on that final 26 hour journey home was such a sacred gift. Thank you for saying the things I could not

If you can imagine a man singing this song to his love, then you know why I just love this song! I was profoundly blessed to have found, dated and married my true Juliet many years ago! And 46 years later, we are still married with 4 beautiful daughters and 6 grandchildren! I cannot watch this video without shedding true tears of joy! To God be the glory!

So, I, a 35 year old prior service Marine, has found one more song that can almost bring me to tears. Thanks, Christina.

Just found this video after 8 year, this live performance is even better than its original music video.

I am one who says “todays artists don’t compare to anyone from my day”, the 70s & 80s…but I have to give this young lady credit. This was quite a performance, and will be on my all time greatest songs list for sure.

I hope everyone in this comment section finds someone that looks at them the same waythat guitarist looks at Christina Perri

One of the most under-rated singers out there. Absolutely deserves a few Grammy awards! Her voice is simply amazing.

This song is for my wife that I met in high school. Were been married for 38yrs. She is the best wife and mother to my 3 children. Love you very much my darling

My mom suddenly passed away last year, and since then life doesn't make sense for me anymore. I'm still devastated and can't wait to find her again soon. This song reminds me of her and touches me deeply as my heart is pressed and wrapped so hard as by the kisses and lovely words that I used to give her, and I'll never be able to do it anymore. This song is beautiful and crushes me.

This was the song that was on the radio when I got in my car the day my mother died in the hospital. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of my mother and I cry, Thank you Christina for such a beautiful song...

After getting divorced, it sucked for a while but then I found the best girl. We had 2.5 years together before she was diagnosed with kidney cancer that she battled for nearly another three years. She passed away in 2018 at the age of 45 with two kids...this song always gets to me. Hold on to what's important because it can be taken in an instant.

My wife was a huge twilight fan. This was her favorite song. She passed last year on valentine's day suddenly after 22 years together. I played it at her funeral. When I listen to it I know she is singing it to me.

I absolutely love how the man playing the guitar is looking at her as if she is his only reason for existing.

Who is listening during this covid19 pandemic?

when my wife was pregnant, we used to have our baby listen to this song and till now, 4 years old, whenever he hear the song he just say, dad, thats my song with mom!!!

my hearts go out to everyone who have lost loved ones.. I dont think how so many HEARTFELT COMMENTs would be posted. AND HER VOICE IS ANGELIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a beautiful live performance. Christina has the voice of an angel.

Literally cry every time I hear this song. It’s the song my wife walked down the aisle to at our wedding. We don’t have kids yet, so that’s the best day of my life so far.

I can't decide what is prettier, her face or her voice.

Man the guitarist playing and harmonizing is incredible musicianship. What a talent!!

This song saved my life. Agoraphobic, suffering major depression from PTSD injury, I played it over and over nightly without any knowledge of the artist. Funny because I live in the Twilight film state, and travel the Olympic peninsula yearly. I feel fate brought me to hear the song. I would very much want to thank Christina

When you listen the song and pay attention the lyrics this song is timeless .And nobody can sing exactly the original singer and her voice is perfect for the song.

Absolutely beautiful...my grandson is autistic, and they played this at his graduation. We were in tears

My soulmate and life partner passed 8/24. He was, and is, the "love of my life. My past and future will always be touched by his memory. "1000 years" loved before and after...!! ❤❤❤RIP, Shahid, in HEAVEN with GOD. I will see you again one day....

As soon as I played the video and heard her voice, several memories of mine came to my mind. And those memories were memories of when I went through hard enough even to attempt suicide. I've loved the Twilight series since I was little, and I really liked this song, which is the background music for the movie, to the point of listening to it thousands of times. When my head was filled with all kinds of negative words and thoughts, and I couldn't do anything, I just moved my finger and played this song. I don't know exactly why I played this song, but I think that something inside of me used this song as a shield to block thoughts of wanting to die. And when I listened to the song, I just shed tears like a baby. After crying heartily, I was able to feel my heart calm down, as if all the tightness and negative things in my heart had been washed away. And this made me feel that this song is a great healer than any medicine for me, and I feel really grateful for this. 🙏

what a beautiful singer.. she sings with her heart .😢😆 simply perfection. never grows old.

wish everybody to find the one real love of life

Anybody who dislikes this song has to be bitter with life.

I love this song. This is how I feel about my wife of 42 years.

David Hodges on piano... Ex-Evanescence writer/composer/member (on keys). He wrote this song for Christina to sing.

It's very rare for a person/band to sound this good live, amazing. Truly talented

My mom died when I was 11. I always listen to this song when I miss her. I feel like it really just expresses how I feel for her. My Nana "her mom" is still recovering. Your never supposed to lose your child. To any of u out there who has lost your child just know it will be okay. If you want to know what happend and how she passed read more. She was in a motorcycle wreck. She was on the back of her/boyfriends motorcycle. She was riding with two other people. Her dad on his motorcycle and a friend on his motorcycle. Her dad's motorcycle malfunctioned and he couldn't stop. The motorcycle she was riding on flipped over and she fell off. Her friend on his motorcycle ran over her head. She had a broken jaw. Her skull was cracked open. She was in a coma for 7 months. Her brain was messed up. The doctors said that she probably wouldn't wake up. They said if she did that she wouldn't be able to do anything on her own. She would have been paralyzed. They gave her medicine to try and help her wake up and it helped a little. She started moving her eyelids. She then just stopped. Then passed.

This song will truly live for at least a thousand years.

Has anyone noticed Christina wearing a tie made of pearls? So cute on her! ❤

I loved her expressions. She doesn't only sings but feels it which is best thing I have noticed in her. May you go far in your career. Love from INDIA.

I have played this video for more number of times as I can remmember, and it is only now that I paid attention to the comments which made my heart melt and my tears flowed. We had this song during my wedding march, and now our family is going through difficult times, it made me appreciate more what I have right now and to stop complaining what I do not have. God bless us all and let us continue fighting. And to Ms. Christina Perri and Mr. David Hodges who composed and made the song come to life, may you continue to inspire people to love.

This was my mum Dad's wedding song. they got married when i was six and i still remember that magical day. What a wonderful thing it is to fall in love with someone, I hope that one day i can feel the unconditional love for someone, like they have for each other :)

I never saw such grace in a performance. She's so calm

They say that music was created from the Heavens with this song being a stunning example of how beautiful it can be ✨ I want my sisters/brothers to prosper in life with all of these devastating tragic stories as Ik it feels like they’re gone for more than a thousand yrs but know that you’re not Alone. STAY STRONG LOVE YALL 🖤 Praying for everyone in the comments

The guitarist is amazing in this. Solid professional playing all the way, and his backup vocals are good too.

I met my husband almost 30 years ago. For me, it was love at first sight. We were both young and life took us in different directions. Both with 2 divorces, we finally reconnected in 2015 and now happily married. This song reminds me of us, and how every step in life we've taken, has brought us back together again.

and here I am, 2021, listening to this beautiful song. Anyone else?

Gave me goosebumps just what I needed to hear. Was just missing my late wife and this is like she sent me a message from heaven. Thank you so much made my day

in the beginning of I lost my wife of 29 years to heart failure. Later that year I met a woman who lost her husband to Covid. She is 15 years younger and many did not or do not agree with me moving on. But this song mean so much to me as the first time I met her she stood alone outside her work and I told her I was going to stop and say hello. When I met her she was crushed after being married 25 years an alone for the first time in her adult life. I simply asked and gave her hug and told her all would be ok. Never expected this would turn to a love story of the ages. I was so happy with my wife who passed but I have entered the final chapter of my life and I feel so happy in my heart and its because of this wonderful woman and her amazing soul...

Her voice is like silk; and the way that guitarist/singer is looking at her, it appears he's in love! This version of the song is beautiful and haunting!

I love the amount of confidence she has in her voice, it’s apparent that she knows she’s nailing every note. That kind of confidence leads too exceptional performances such as this one 👍🏼

This song is so sweet. I lost my wife on November 4 it will be 4 yrs.I think about her every day.She was a gift from god, my whole world.Kat took her life that night in our back young yard.I found her hanging.She took my heart with her.I myself wanted to die but my mom and dad needed me I just hope one day and I will see her again I love you Kathleen

There’s a real sense of confidence, maturity and closure in this version. Love it!!

She's so sweet, my heart melts when she smiles.

Walked down the aisle at our wedding to my amazing husband to this song. Thank you Christina for the beautiful song.

This song speaks heavy of love and loss, one journey which we all share. Man it gets me too and I'm suppossed to be this tough ex infantry guy. My ex fiancee and I can't be together at the moment as I'm dealing with chronic pain and she's dealing with getting off the alcohol, so I'm desperately trying to be the best version of myself so we can get back together. She's the only woman I trust.

She has such a unique voice that's so soft and you know it's her immediately. Not to mention she's so beautiful.

My baby girl has been singing this with me since she was 7. Now almost 7 years later she’s still belting it out Jan 1, 2020.

The day we met Frozen I held my breath Right from the start I knew that I found the home for my

Who's watching this during Quarantine ? 🥺

I met my husband just after I turned 50. I knew he was the one when I heard his voice on the phone the first time. This song has so much meaning for the two of us....simply beautiful

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Great live version.

She is amazing, anyone who can make you tear up by singing is a angel

Christina Perri is the most beautiful person both inside and out.

1.5k dislikes????????? WTF is wrong with you people?? This is my wedding song next year. Thank-you Christina ❤️

I’m 50 and have given up on finding someone. I have never been married, no kids either. But this is a beautiful song from a beautiful young lady with a beautiful voice. 😭

Is the song I associate with my former four legged son. It's three years since he gained wings. His loss remains a huge void. This song appeared multiple times during his final two weeks. Time still stands still...I have died everyday.

I love that she does things like this live. She isn't the most trained voice out there to stay on key, but she has the raw talent. Wonderful songwriter too.

A song that will be listened to over the next generations. You, your children, your grandchildren. They probably will listen with nostalgic feelings while you already passed away. Don't be sad. They will remember you while listening.

A yr and I'm still here listening to her pouring her soul into this beautiful song.

She's a dream girl how could any guy not love her.

The girl can sing, but the guitar player can truly love for 1000 years.

Her voice doesn't need any autotune. Flawless

One of the underrated singer. Pray to hear more of her music.
