That part always puzzled me. Most won’t know that brand. Listening back, it makes more sense now. Thank you for clarifying. I edited the lyrics in the description to cover this.
My grandmother Catherine Donovan (“Kitty”), who I’m named after, died of cancer at 37…leaving my grandfather, Cornelius O’Leary, with 3 young children to raise by himself in San Francisco, CA….far, far away from all of his family in Ireland. He was determined to continue to raise his children while mourning the loss of his young wife and against all social norms,at the time, for a man doing so! Needless to say, the lyrics of this song hit me so hard…tears are still flowing as I write this…
I heard that Niall says he wrote this song about his grandfather. His grandmother died the year before Niall was born. After she died his grandfather just became like a recluse and never left the house so he wrote the song about her leaving his grandfather alone in the world. Niall said he didn't know if the song would make it on "The Show" album. Sadly it didn't. I hope he releases the song sometime. It's one of the most beautiful songs that I've heard in a long time. Here's the link to video where I got the information from. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0er8-zUgbj4.html
Such a sad beautiful song that tells a really sad story and tugs at your heart strings. He is enormously talented. 😢🎶❤️ I just listened to it again and now I get it. The lyrics are written as if his grandfather is singing the song. If you listen with that in mind it all makes perfect sense. 😢❤️
My husband and I were high school sweethearts and been together for 43 years, when he passed away 5 months ago.. My heart is broken, dealing with the grief, the pain and loneliness is so much to bare… This song is beautiful and so true.. I thank God for every moment I had with him..Truly blessed and I know I will see him again🥺💙🙏
Your story of love gets me right in the heart. It reminds me of my parents. My Mom and Dad met when they were 13 & 14 years old...they fell in love with each other right away and were together until his passing at the age of 37 of stomach cancer in 1974. I was 16 at the time and my Father told me he was glad it was him going first because he would never be able to live without my Mother. My Mother told me years later not to be sad when she dies as it will be the happiest day of her life to be with my Father again. My Mom is still waiting (she is 87) and believe me...she feels your pain my dear and I am sorry for your loss. If you believe...and when your day comes...he will be eagerly waiting for you with a big smile on his face.
Half of me died on April 12, 2014 when I lost my Dad to cancer. The other half of me died on September 9, 2022 when I lost my mother due to a failed arterial bypass in her legs. I feel this song in the core of my soul. I am here all alone. I just want to be with my family again. I am just waiting on God to decide that whatever purpose I am here for has been served.
Im so very sorry for your loss. I miss my mom,dad and the love of my life everyday. I find comfort in Jesus, His arms are big enough for us both and then some💫💜
Sorry for all your loss. I feel like an orphan since my parents passed. I am a parent and I know that when I have passed on, I want her to enjoy every minute of her life still! Parents want that for their kids, please keep pushing for healing, I feel certain that want that for you! ❤
Oh my gosh. That song is incredible. I’m 80 years old and I totally get it. I’m usually more of a melody person but the lyrics in this song,Incredible!
WOW!!! I can totally relate to this song!!! After 33 years of marriage, the love of my live died in my arms due to cancer. Even though it has been almost 2 years, I still struggle with him being gone. The holidays makes it harder. Through the grace of God and lots of prayers is what keeps me going, knowing that one day we will be together for eternity. Niall, thank you for this beautiful song!
Anyone who has lost a loved one whether young or old from cancer or an OD or health issues CAN FEEL Nialls words down to their souls & just as my tears fell when I started listening to his heart felt lyrics was reading the comments left by so many who can relate in their own loss of their BELOVED LOVED ONES 😢❤ We have to believe that someday when GOD feels its time that we shall ALL B with all of those that he must have needed more then we thought we did 🙏 GOD BLESS U NIALL 4 writing this most BEAUTIFUL SONG 4 each of us ❤
I know this may seem silly to some but I just lost my kitty last Saturday. I loved him so much and things are extremely lonely without him. My routines are different now. I miss his purrs and his cuddles.. I can’t wait to see him again.
NO, NOT silly at all! Our furbabies are our family just like any others. The pain is deep, deep and never truly fades. My heart mourns for you. Know that you are not alone. You will see Kitty in Heaven.
Such a beautiful song! My Momma passed away this past March & it’s hard trying to get ready for any holidays! Christmas was her favorite holiday! This Christmas won’t be the same without her! I love & miss her so very much! Thanks Niall for writing & singing another song that touches hearts! This song should be a hit! It’s a hit to me & I love it!❤❤❤
Lost my Mom in April, this holiday season has been so hard. This will be the first Christmas in my 72 years without her and it’s so hard sometimes. But I know she’s at peace in Heaven with Daddy and that helps. Praying for you
@@cathysmith1555 thanks so much for your kindness! I’m sorry for the loss of your Momma! This Christmas is the 1st Christmas in my 64 years! It’s super hard to be excited about anything this year! I know she’s at peace & she’s in a better place but that really doesn’t make my heart hurt less! Prayers for you as well!🤗🙏🏼
Beautiful song,words are so true of most people in loving long term relationships,I was married for 40+it's been 10 years and I still struggle,at times my life was totally turned upside down I still celebrate our wedding anniversary every year I can't let our special day go by with out acknowledging it this Jan will be our 50 th wedding anniversary.God bless everyone who struggles with loss in there lives and heart✝️
Nial ~ Waiting on God is so beautiful and so timely. Please consider releasing this song- I'm a 71 year old widow. My husband of 50 years took his own life last year, when I was interring my Dad ashes in another state ( He couldn't live with his Parkinson's anymore), and my Mom passed away this fall. That's three precious lives in a years' time... It's so annoying to have to pull up youtube every time I want to access this soul song. Bless you and your gift.
God bless you. So sorry for your terrible losses. It’s true that music speaks the words of your soul when you just need to grieve. For me it’s Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli singing The Prayer that we played at my sister’s funeral. Lost my sister’s young daughter too, 30 years old to alcohol addiction.
OMG such a beautiful song and the lyrics amazing he didn’t again a story telling how long does he have to wait for her to come cause he doesn’t want to be alone 😢
Love this song~~So beautiful~~I've never heard of him until he became a judge on "The Voice"~~.Then I did some research on him cause I was pretty freaked that I didn't know this sweet, adorable man with that awesome accent of his~~I thought I knew every artist ever~~I've heard it all and I basically hate today's music~~Most of it~~I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music~~I don't even watch award shows anymore unless they're honoring someone I love and a fan of~~I really don't know anyone anymore~~What I've heard from today's music are a bunch of freaks~~I give every new artist a chance~~I love Billie Eilish and her awesome brother and Harry Styles~~Going back to Niall and finding out he was in One Direction and I was like, ewwww, don't care for them but gave them a chance~~Don't recall seeing him in O.D.~~I also watched an audition vid with just him on another Voice show, I think but not certain he auditiond The Voice Australia or The X Factor~~Simon Cowell I think put One Direction togrther~~Yucky~~lol~~But seeing him now and how much he's evoled in his singing voice just blew me away~~Also he's very smart and he's a great mentor~~He's one of the best~~I'm a huge fan~~"The Voice" finally did something awesome and that is bringing Niall and Reba~~They need to bring Kelly back~~We gotta have Kelly~~This is the first year I really enjoyed the show with Reba and Niall~~Kelly, Kelly, Kelly~~~lol~~I still think that the show is slightly fixed~~Just like the later years of American Idol~~When Kelly won Idol that was real~~Then as the years past something was wrong~~Great singers were let go and the not so great they kept~~I dunno and I guess we'll never know the truth about what really goes on with these shows~~But yet I keep watching~~Have a nice day ya'll~~💖💖💖
this is a beautiful song I could have used it when my mother and best friend when they passed love to listen to it when I feel peaceful I thank God for every moment that I had with them and I will see them again!
How has this song not become famous? It is such a beautiful song! Niall’s voice is incredible!!! Please make sure it’s played often! I listen to it several times every day!!!! Thank you, Niall!!
