Listening to this song made me forget about the anxiety and stresses of tomorrow. Christ has blessed you with an amazing voice my brother. Keep inspiring others man ❤🙌
Jesus Christ loves you and yours, Brother!@@officialiamtongi - May God Bless you on your Journey and let you Endure through any Struggles you're going through!
@@officialiamtongi If you like Blaze I think you’d like Townes van Zandt too (two legendary TX songwriters). I’d love to hear you sing “if I needed you” by Townes. Keep doing your thing brother, your voice is beautiful, really touches people’s heart.
I know of Blaze! Clay Pigeons is one of my favorite songs! Way to go, Iam. When I feel bad, listening to your singing makes me feel better. You are such an inspiration and I think of you often and send a prayer up when I do. Thank you. ❤
Must be one very lovely place you're at when you shut your eyes to sing, Iam. Glad a place like that exists. Keep going there. Love from this side of the world 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
@@officialiamtongiHello Iam, this is a very beautiful cover version of one of my favorite country songs. Originally song by the late great Merle Haggard. "The Great Hag", as he was so lovingly referred to as a nick name.❤
How did you know how much I am missing my parents? Mom has only been gone a year and I have already completely ruined my life. My heart is shattered and I am so tired. Just want to feel safe with my family again. I wish I could fly to them.
@@officialiamtongi I am praying for you too. My Dad was my special person too. So, I know how deep your hurt is and I am so sorry you are going through it at such a young age. Your music helps me a lot and I am so thankful for your incredible gift. Much love to you too! ❤️
Iam , im thankful to be living in the same era as you because u get to enjoy your music and it helps me . im from malaysia and i think its impossible for me to meet you in person but i pray that all the good blessings and good health upon you and the person you love always
Shout out to Lucas on the pedal steel guitar. His mad skills on the pedal steel really accentuates Iam's emotional vocal performance. Also Iam's skill on the acoustic guitar is superb and underrated. Lucas + Iam + Blaze = perfection. I can't stop listening to this song. I love it so much.❤

Today would have been my dad’s 79th birthday, he has been gone now for almost 15 years. I just lost my mother this past July 2023, two sisters in between the both of them….the sound of your voice is soothing to my soul.
Ihr Beiden seit mit eurer wunderbaren Musik unschlagbar. Ich danke Gott, 🙏 daß er euch dieses musikalische Talent geschenkt hat. Liebe Grüße aus Germany 👋.
You always help me feel the emotions of the lyrics. It also took me back to visiting the Islands of Fiji, Honiara, Port Vila and New Zealand on a cruise playing those wonderful instruments. God has blessed you. You will always have that wonderful connection with your beloved dad. Best wishes, Elizabeth, from Australia.
Lost my mom in Aug 2023 this song makes me miss her . Miss having coffee with her decorating her place for Christmas and everything about a mom her hugs . She was in a care home but had short term memory loss… but she still asked for me and knew me the smile the look of recognition in her eyes …Love you mom❣️will always miss you mom 🥲💕 Anther beautiful song Iam my heart melts…🫠🥲❤ Beautiful done Iam
❤ your voice is so Crystal Clear and smooth such a very beautiful song so much meaning and love thank you for sharing and as always God bless you and your whole family we love you from Connecticut you brighten our days❗♥️🙏🎶🎶💯🌴❤
Very good version of the song, but I think you should acknowledged that it's a Blaze Foley cover in the title and let the new generation discover him. ❤
Thank you Iam for accompanying me with your music on those lonely and eternal afternoons, full of melancholy, excellent musician, I love you bro, greetings from Guatemala, aloha!!!!
I love this song. It says what I feel more often than I care to. Happy Birthday Iam. Are you really 52? You don't look like you've run around Earth that many times. Love & Blessings always.
Listening to you bro just makes everything in this world disappear your music brings me peace and no worry’s keep it up brother your changing the world ❤
Wow. What a beautiful rendition of a fantastic Blaze Foley song. Your voice is truly a gift from God. Thanks for This Wonderful Upload. Blaze would approve. Regards Frank
Amazing song and I’m sure your daddy is in heaven rejoicing and is so proud of you!! This is not the end it is his beginning of his eternal life and one day when God comes and says it’s your time IAN to come home and that’s when you and your dad will be together again! Keep your faith strong, pray, If you have question about life read the Bible over and over the Bible is if you don’t know and I didn’t know this until I was in my 40’s. I was a late learner and bloomer!!! But, I finally got it anyway so Bible is THE ( BOOK of INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE we LEAVE this EARTH. Your voice is a God given talent and it is just so heavenly! You are a blessing and you are blessed!
Absolutely beautiful...I love the song ,I love that you and your accompany on the key board guitar collaborate so beautifully...you take every song you do and make it your own,your story telling in your singing is so beautiful,and why america loves you ,and american idol was very lucky your mom asked you to audition.not only are you helping so many thru whatever they aregoing thru including me in my time of healing and grieving ,but it's helping you thru your journey also.. Merry Christmas IAM ,and your family
I absolutely love this song! I have it memorized and sing it all the time. Blaze Foley is a next level songwriter. And Merle Haggard made me fall in love with this song with his interpretation of Foley's masterpiece. I really like your arrangement of this song, Iam, but I wish you would have included the third verse. (I know it's really long song though.) The way you sing it, Iam, is so warm and genuine. It's just beautiful. The pedal steel and acoustic guitar are the perfect accompaniment to this gem. I'm super happy that you covered "If I Could Only Fly". Tomorrow is my birthday and this song is the perfect gift. :-) Thanks Iam! Needless to say, this is going on repeat on iTunes. This is by far my favorite of all your releases so far, Iam. :-)
Ian, I have been following you since your first audition on American Idol. Your voice is so good. The pain you feel comes out so strong in your singing. I am so sorry you have to know that pain, but let isinging heal you. Your Dad is smiling so big from up above. I have lost both af my parents. I know that pain. Keep up the great work. I can’t wait to be able to add this Song to my play list.
Not since Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole have I seen such emotion projected in someones music Iam you are going to go down in history as one of the greatest singers of your generation I'm 1000% certain of it
I lost my mom this year right before your season aired, you got me though some things. I feel all your emotions. ❤ Thank you for another beautiful song.
Beautiful song, beautifully sung and beautiful accompaniment. Another comment called it a keyboard guitar. I've never seen or heard one before and I really loved that sound. Shame you didn't give the guy a credit, Iam.
