I lost my dad to cancer 6 months ago and I've just found this song , it reminds me so much of growing up and struggling to communicate with my dad but in the later stages of his illness I found the courage to tell him how much I loved him and looked up to him all my life and for that I'm grateful.

Well since we're sharing..my father was a alcoholic from the time I was born til now..I'm a decade in at 27 ..my mom is a drug addict and I'm 5 yrs in..they were terrible raising me but they did .she was 15 he was 17 I make excuses for all of us and try my best to be respectful but I find myself mirroring their emotions at times and feel/know this isn't right and it isn't me .this song hits different wen I talk to them and Iknow I'd never put them in a home ,I just wanted someone to talk to all these years and blow and beer have been my therapist...but I'm religious and I have witness gods work it will get better before I meet my family's fate...thank u for listening...thank u for talking.❤

This song always moves me to tears. Throat gets choked up. It makes me think of my uncle who took his own life. I never met him, but growing up and seeing the harrowing sorrow reflected in my Nans eyes impacted me. She lost her son, and my Dad lost a brother. Suicide lingers through generations. The line "I can talk to anyone ,but I cant talk to you" makes me ask my Uncle Mark "who did you want to talk to but felt you couldnt in your last moment"
I love you Mark

My father had a really abusive childhood and that was the excuse everyone around me gave for why my father was abusive towards me, his eldest daughter. The best thing is for me to move out and live my life. I have a lot of healing to do, but this song somehow makes me cry and feel calmer, even if I don’t have a good relationship with my dad, I’ve always been determined to be a kinder person to my future children.

Well this song just destroyed me. I'm nearly halfway through this world of connecting and passing walkways and the losses begin to add up. I have my own son that carries the torch, and grandsons too. Everyday I find myself searching for some magical wisdom to protect them from the world around them and each day I find that I am learning that life doesn't make us responsible for being certain of anything. That's a burden we place on ourselves and it too often makes our torches burn a little less brighter when trying to find out where we are. But still when things are too difficult for them, I put my torch out and find their light. We can get anywhere together if we just try.

Sam's instagram caption for this song explains the context: "This is one of my favourite songs on the new record, it’s a song about boys and their dads. It’s based around my own relationship with my old man, and how we both struggle as blokes to communicate the way we feel to each other without it becoming a stand off. It’s about how the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as I get further in to my twenties i see so much of myself in him, especially when it comes to being stubborn. The second half of the song talks about seeing him with my grandma when she passed away, and how I saw him as a son, and how that moment reminded me to make the most of my time with him. If anything, it is a declaration of love for him."
