One of the most underrated song writers of all time. One of the very few who are better live than on a record too. He sings to.somebody that's why he so amazing
Love to all. I'm a dad of only 41. Listening. I have stage 4 lung cancer in the brain. I have a 1 year and 3 year old daughter. I can't begin to explain. Hold onto everything and everyone xxx
My dad had a mental illness. We did not get along. Wished I chased the monsters before he passed with lung cancer. We never said goodbye. I cry every time I hear this song.
Moved to tears. Lost my Dad last year, amidst recalling his mistakes, errors, failures and monsters he didn’t chase away which he eventually paid for, l miss him everyday and hope to make him proud by chasing the monsters and darkness he left behind and mine too away. Rest On Dad. Miss You Always.
Time to chase the monsters away,,thats what a lot of dads used to say at bedtime, and then to say its my time, what a incredible piece of music and lyrics,,it is a very sad song thats resonates through your loss of the man you called dad, RIP, all dads
My brave ex-service father had a beautiful standard and bugle send off 1st July. I wanted to sing this to him but couldn't even as a trained singer. James, your words went with him. Thank you.
I’m sorry for your loss I lost my dad last year to cancer on the 15th of January. What’s crazy is I had never heard this song until a month after his passing and it was from Iam Tongi’s audition on American Idol. And to make the story unbelievable is that that episode aired the 19th of February well we had my Dad’s ‘Celebration of Life’ just the day before on the 18th of February. I feel like I was hearing it at the right time. And my brothers and our mom watched the audition too. Very emotional 💙
I heard this Song yesterday for the first time at the NO BORDER FESTIVAL IN ITALY and I cried for the first time after my father died 10 years ago... THANK YOU FOR THIS EMOTIONAL SONG❤️❤️❤️
My mum and dad separated when I was five and I never saw him again. Whilst in the army I told myself that once I was out and home I'd search for my dad. I left the army in 2000 and tried to find him, unfortunately he had died two years prior from leukaemia. This still guts me today as there were so many things I wanted to ask him. Don't put off what you can do today and love your family with all your heart!! Sleep well Dad and Mum too!! 🙏
we don't know each other but know that you are an incredible person, sorry to hear that, and know that he would be proud of you today, stay an amazing person and I wish you the best for the rest of your life.
For everyone out there who has lost someone they love more than life I am so very sorry for your loss and I send you my absolute blessings and love for the future ❤️❤️❤️
My mom died 4 months ago 3 days before her 95th birthday. She was doing great, said something funny. Closed her eyes and died while I was singing Danny Boy. I come from a family of joke tellers. My sister and brother came to the hospice and my younger sister said mom was so desperate to get away from me singing she had to die to have me stop. Seriously being alone in the room while my mom passed the greatest and most personal.thing I've done. Farewell to my great Irish mom
Very single times I'm listening to this song I'm cry like baby, almost 13 years my father passed away, but I'm feel like it's happening yesterday tho, now your and my memory left behind, miss you so much daddy
“It’s my time to chase the monsters away.” This line of finality that takes you back to the memories of being tucked in my dad… to a time when you hoped things were eternal. I believe in eternity but regardless of what you believe in or do not, the effect is real either way. Love is real regardless of what you believe.. and love is something that nothing can touch.
Have no idea how he can sing this song when it’s clear how personal it was to him its a beautiful sorrowful song my soul broke open from this song while dealing with dad’s dementia
Oh, before they turn off all the lights I won't read you your wrongs or your rights The time has gone I'll tell you goodnight, close the door Tell you I love you once more The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away Oh, well, I'll read a story to you Only difference is this one is true The time has gone I folded your clothes on the chair I hope you sleep well, don't be scared The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away Sleep a lifetime Yes, and breathe a last word You can feel my hand on your own I will be the last one So I'll leave a light on Let there be no darkness, in your heart But I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away
This sounds exactly the same as the music video a lot of singers can't make their songs sound as good as the studio quality live very few are capable of that and I'm new to James but damn can he sing and has amazing lyrics too.
The director or producer I forget who wanted to added like auto tune or whatever on the video to make James sound better. He told him no I want it as raw as it can get.
Oh, sebelum mereka mematikan semua lampu Saya tidak akan membacakan kesalahan atau hak Anda Waktunya telah berlalu Aku akan memberitahumu selamat malam, tutup pintunya Memberitahu Anda "Aku mencintaimu" sekali lagi Waktunya telah berlalu, jadi ini dia Aku bukan anakmu, kamu bukan ayahku Kami hanya dua pria dewasa yang mengucapkan selamat tinggal Tidak perlu memaafkan, tidak perlu melupakan Aku tahu kesalahanmu dan kamu tahu kesalahanku Dan saat Anda sedang tidur, saya akan mencoba membuat Anda bangga Jadi, ayah, tidakkah kamu menutup mata saja? Jangan takut, ini giliranku Untuk mengusir monster pergi
