This gives me some old Beatles vibes a bit. I grew up on that kind of music and its so nice to hear something new that takes me back.

its weird bc i know this song is originally written from the perspective of a parent watching their child grow up but having just turned 23 and moved halfway across the world for grad school, I cant help but hear in it a self reflective sadness about the passage of times in one's own life. the absentminded girlhood now gone. either way, this abba song always gets me but its never made me cry in the way his cover of it did. amazing.

@puanmarceline 3 ай бұрын

you put this into words so well. i'm 23 and about to finish my bachelor's degree in july, and it makes me want to hurl thinking about how time passes. where did all the time go? how am i suddenly here? i'm glad for all the experiences that i've had, but the way that time just flies still makes me tear up.

This is really really beautiful .. beautifully done ... He re-arranged the song in a way that feels very much like the Beatles and as many people pointed out, he even sounds like McCartney .. Very talented lad .. I'm finally listening to his music thanks to this cover after having known his name for so long .. might even grab those last tickets to his concert :)

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go? Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why? I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
