My dad died an alcoholic/drug user when I was 16 when I close my eyes I hear his voice singing this song. My dad wasn't perfect but he was my dad. ❤️

My brother died in 1997 and I avoided this song for over 20 years. I heard an Irish man sing it on karaoke whilst on holiday and it broke my heart but also filled it with joy.. I had to speak to him and tell him my story, me and the Irish man have been friends ever since. Jason Kearney fae Dublin is that guy. .❤

My beautiful wife died 4 months ago due to cancer. She had 8 weeks of radiotherapy and chemo. The drugs didn't work, she was a shell. I miss her so much

I'm seven months clean after almost four years of shooting heroin. My girlfriend of three years was unable to quit, and died of a heart infection three months ago. She was 23, with a 4 year old daughter. I remain clean, but struggle with suicidal ideation every single night and most days. However, I go off the street, and work a full time job. My music has been on the radio four weeks in a row, and I'm recording again. There is hope. You are more powerful than you can imagine.

You know, the comments on here are so full of compassion and understanding. It’s rare to go on YouTube and find this. It’s so full of people giving stupid advice from high and mighty places and people that have never experienced the hurt that others have suffered. Thank you all of you ❤

For my son who is in recovery keep strong and your faith my boy

Probably one of the greatest songs ever written.

Clean 4 years of heroin and when you've lived a life of addictive substances this song means much more and hits even harder. Much love to all those who've come through the other side and much love to those who haven't and prayers to those gone to a better place than the one they couldn't manage to live happily in ❤️

Lost my little sister to it all. She just wouldn’t quit. Left 4 kids behind. My heart is broken and there is nothing I could do for her, but tell her I love her. 2 years ago and like it was yesterday. My life is not the same knowing I can’t even find her in the streets anymore. I love you sis with all my heart. You’re always on my mind.

A hugely underrated work of art.

Today saying goodbye to my niece. She choose to leave this life at the age of 27😢. As a recovering addict myself, I knew the pain she suffered. This song was always one of my favorites, and now it helps me to allow me to feel the pain and sadness. It's ok, her pain is over, she finally found peace. I will never forget the beautiful person you were, rest in power! I love you forever❤

I lost my wife just over 2 years ago. Nothing to do with drugs and alcohol. But for some reason I listen to this now and I find it so emotional. Anyone who has lost someone through either drugs or alcohol or both my thoughts are with you. God bless.

I lost my brother to heroin over 20 years ago when I was 14. I cried deeply tonight and I’m grateful I did - proper release. I love you John.

Powerful song. My dad used to sing this to me, he suffered with addiction. But now he's sadly passed away and this song just brings everything back 💔
