Lifelong Blaze Foley fan... I think he'd be proud to hear this.

Listening to this song made me forget about the anxiety and stresses of tomorrow. Christ has blessed you with an amazing voice my brother. Keep inspiring others man ❤🙌

Hearing Tongi sing Merle Haggerd is amazing. RIP Lewis Talley

Blaze Foley one of the greatest song writers nobody knows. And you sung it beautifully.

How did you know how much I am missing my parents? Mom has only been gone a year and I have already completely ruined my life. My heart is shattered and I am so tired. Just want to feel safe with my family again. I wish I could fly to them.

Iam your voice is so soothing. God has truly blessed you with such a beautiful gift.

Much love - I discovered you as I was losing my grandma. Your music conveys how it feels to miss someone with your entire heart and soul. Thank you.

Iam you make my soul feel whole and full of love when you sing these heartfelt songs. 🧡🩵🧡

❤ from Korea to Beautiful Iam

Wooooo let’s go tongi

Love it, so beautiful

You always help me feel the emotions of the lyrics. It also took me back to visiting the Islands of Fiji, Honiara, Port Vila and New Zealand on a cruise playing those wonderful instruments. God has blessed you. You will always have that wonderful connection with your beloved dad. Best wishes, Elizabeth, from Australia.

Today would have been my dad’s 79th birthday, he has been gone now for almost 15 years. I just lost my mother this past July 2023, two sisters in between the both of them….the sound of your voice is soothing to my soul.

Merry Christmas Iam Tongi and God bless you ✨️ 💖 🙏 Australia

Just an amazing voice and emotion

Hello @ Iam, just beautiful 💫 PURE GOLD 💫 🙏❤

Shout out to Lucas on the pedal steel guitar. His mad skills on the pedal steel really accentuates Iam's emotional vocal performance. Also Iam's skill on the acoustic guitar is superb and underrated. Lucas + Iam + Blaze = perfection. I can't stop listening to this song. I love it so much.❤

Amazing song and I’m sure your daddy is in heaven rejoicing and is so proud of you!! This is not the end it is his beginning of his eternal life and one day when God comes and says it’s your time IAN to come home and that’s when you and your dad will be together again! Keep your faith strong, pray, If you have question about life read the Bible over and over the Bible is if you don’t know and I didn’t know this until I was in my 40’s. I was a late learner and bloomer!!! But, I finally got it anyway so Bible is THE ( BOOK of INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE we LEAVE this EARTH. Your voice is a God given talent and it is just so heavenly! You are a blessing and you are blessed!
