Sometimes I feel like listening to Tom's songs is like going on an adventure without a map. Sometimes you may like it more or less but its always makes me do not want to go back to normal life and reality.

As a registered nurse, I've seen firsthand the peace and ultimately, willingness to take a last breath that can come to a dying person when their family gives them permission to go-- "it's okay dad, you can go" moved me so much. Thank you for such raw and accessible songwriting. It matters.

Well, I haven't expected to cry that hard...
My dad died 10 years ago. On his last day my mom and I sat next to his bed, knowing he wouldn't wake up again, watching him sleep and singing to him.
So I started crying with the first lines of the song. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
I'll never forget you, dad.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about one of my former high school teachers. He was one of the most interesting people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I can't possibly express his person in a single comment, not even a full book could do that. He was truly one of a kind... for better and for worse, haha. But I can say that I don't think I'll ever forget him. In the best way possible.
He loved Bob Dylan. Now every time I hear Hey Mister Tambourine Man, I think of him. With Dylan's 80th birthday now, the reminders are everywhere.
I went to see him in the hospital only days before he passed. I'm very glad I took the chance to say goodbye. I'm incredibly thankful I got to have him as a teacher. He would be happy to know that he definitely made an impact.
This song made me think of him. I too hope that he made it safely past the hospital car park. He'd always been an adventurer - I'm sure he took on the new journey with his typical boldness, stubbornness and curiosity.
Thank you ❤

I feel humbled that you trust your listeners so much to put out this heart-wrenchingly emotional song. It's not a tune that will gain a lot of traction, but most definitely a song that everyone of us will come back to when it's time for it.

'Had to go a long way to be who you are' just a simple line, but means so much to me!

Thank you! My grandfather died last weekend...and this song catches so many of my emotions. I had to laugh at the "I hope you make it past the hospital car park". Thank you for that!

I know you appreciate stories behind our first listenings of your songs, so here's mine. This is the first song I listen to since I've been told that my greatgrandmother died. She passed away last night and obviously this song couldn't have been released at any better time. Thank you for sharing it with us, I will hold it dear forever

"And tried to store up every single vein fixed in my mind for all tomorrow's days". That hit me. My grandmother passed away this February, we took shifts staying next to her and holding her hand. I tried so hard to remember everything about her, every vein, every wrinkle. Thank you, Tom. Your songs have been with me through all kinds of places in life. Thank you.

I spent wonderful 2 weeks helping to look after my grandad before he died. My family doesn’t have close bonds and I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him. When he got to the hospital he was miserable, I hated to see him like this. He was a musician so I got him an old disc man (he was mostly blind, so I needed something with proper buttons). His wife brought his CDs and I taught him how to use the disc man. He was so happy. The last time I saw him, I brought my ukulele and sang him songs. I knew it was the last time, he didn’t have much strength to do anything other than move his foot into the rhythm. He asked to see my instrument and he touched it all over and said that I might need new strings. I miss him even though I didn’t know him for most of his time here.

My dad is battling cancer and even though now everything looks like he'll easily live another 10+ years, the past weeks and months of uncertainty and to actually get confronted with the mortality of my parents for the first time destroyed me, needless to say this song is draining my eyes right now. It's really beautiful though :)

I have special needs and autism. This song is making me feel feelings that I’ve never felt before. My grandpa is in the hospital as he had a heart attack four months ago, been on and off a ventilator. He’s not able to swallow food and he failed his swallow test so they are keeping him longer. I want him to come home but all we can do is wait and pray that he gets better soon. ❤️

Tom, I don’t know where I’ve been but I stumbled on your music yesterday and I can’t stop listening to its lush and sublime. My 13 y/o dog Buffy died 4-months-ago in my arms and I’ve just been wracked with grief in some feverish and strange dream of missing, yearning, the existential, and no shortage of magical thinking. Reality and daily functioning find their in there, too. The grief centers on her but is also filled with so many thoughts of my grandparents, father, friends, and the other four-legged children who flew away before her. And so many heads whose heads I lay mine on. And so many many memories and wishes fulfilled and so many remaining unfulfilled. Thank you for this album from the bottom of my heart. May we all soar. 🧡
