My daughter was born in Jan 2018. She was rushed to intensive care and had a heart op. 5 months later another one and she ended up on life support. We were told it was 50/50 chance of survival as it was the 5th day. This was at Bristol Children’s hospital. At one point there were 18 medical staff around her bed. She made it. This song breaks my heart.

Criminality underrated song

A timeless classic. One of the best songs I've ever heard.

Best songs ever. Memories of my sister who passed. Biggest heart E, we miss you ❤. Uk 🇬🇧

awesome! i remember listening to this record a lot when i was 18 years old in 2005 and it still gives me goosebumps now. great records never age.

Heard this on Radio 1 yesterday and almost blubbed like a lil girl. Had a premature kid a few years back and this always brings a tear to my eyes

My son was born 3 month early and this song is a full musical representation of his first year of life on this planet which was spent in a plastic box with wires running in and out of him in hospital.

As others have said this song brings home many emotions as my son was born two months prem. The first night after an exhausting day I came home alone with my wife in one ward and son in NICU, this song came on and despite knowing it before the words hadn't resonated until then and this pretty much sums up the early days. Pleased to say he's five and doing very well 💪🏻

It's such a beautiful song. Almost impossible to listen to without bringing a tear to your eye.

EVERY year awesome! This song going from soul. I know every moment!

Timeless..nearly 20 years..thank you

"First night of your life, curled up on your own" Swear to god i feel like im about to bawl crying everytime i hear that line

This is essentially what I went through as a baby and obviously I remember nothing but just thinking of what my parents must've been going through back then is enough to make me cry pretty much every time I hear it

yeah January 2000 my eldest lad 1 week old Sheffield childrens hospital.. some things you just never forget.. And looking at him now you would never know.. he was one of the lucky ones..

When i saw this song live, he came on afterwards; just him and an acoustic guitar and he then got the crowd to sing the bridge. Definitely one of the best moments of my life...

this is surely a live! there are some imperfections in the vocals that make u understeand they're completely live! great band and great song i love them!!!

You got wires? I bet you got goose bumps now, amazing song.

My daughter was born in Dec at 24 weeks and is still in hospital, this song will live with me forever.... I see it in your eyes.... Thank you Athlete, it helped me let it out x

for all of you who have had to live the words of this song as i have, Peace will come.

Man, I don't see how he can sing this without breaking down. I can't even listen to this without bawling my eyes out. I just keep remembering when my youngest daughter was in the hospital five years ago whenever I hear this song and I break down.

Still love this band now 💞

This is so raw.

This will always be a great song.

This song means the world to me it got me through tough times. When I wanted to give up I didn’t, I think this song has something to do with that.

UGHHH I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH😔😥💗

This song reminds my dad of when i was in hospital. That's what hits me most about this song. makes me cry! XxX

I can't help but cry every time I hear this song..and to be honest, a lot of my friends think I'm weird when I listen to this on the school bus. You know, I don't think it's normal for 14 year olds to randomly start crying on the bus when listening to music...

Saw these today at Trafalgar Square, soooooooooo dignified and flawless... thanks chaps and thanks for doing it for the reasons you did. God bless xxx

Seen then live 3 times now... They make you cry every time cause they are that good live

My mum had to go through her pregnancy alone. Dad had Tetanus and was in a coma. So sad but when he woke up - he had a baby daughter. Me. He even said I was a gift from God 🎁❤️😍

This and 'loneliness of a tower crane driver' by 'elbow' are the only songs that can make me cry when I hear them. Powerful stuff!

A fantastic song. Reminds me of my late uncle James ❤️

this song man... so sad but so beautiful at the same time.. he unleashes everything in the end. Just amazing!

amazing live performance and sound...great.

This song is fucking amazing, so powerfull and so deep !

Que hermosa canción

graaaciias por esta poesia

Brilliant song

Chills and thrills coming in

What a beautiful song... Filled with so much emotions. A beautiful inspiration for the song also; watching your premature first born child inside an incubator with wires attached on it's fragile body.. Seeing tears running down it's tiny eyes, and crying yourself because you are so afraid and uncertain (scared of the facts). Running up and down the hospital corridors.. And finally seeing the light of hope as the child opens it's eyes and looks at you.

beautiful song

Perfect !!!
