Searched for this song after hearing it on After Life. Smashing song - aways great to hear an artist you've never heard of and they have loads of material!

Thank you, After Life and Ricky Gervais, for introducing us to this masterpiece

Instantly searched for this after hearing it on After Life. What a beautiful voice.

This song made me cry , when my dad was really poorly , he used to say 'play one of my guitars son ' then he'd be closing his eyes and i'd stop , he'd open them again and say 'why have you stopped son i was listening to that' an make me carry on playing !! these lyrics remind me of that so much ...... and he was broken , i just wish i could of fixed him :( I loved him more than he knew xx

Remembering my baby boy who came into this world too soon to survive/thinking of all the Christmas we never had together. I will always sing you lullabies.

Kate wrote the song - it was about a friend of the family Davy Steele who died and clearly was an influence when she was young. If you want a real tear-jerker then look up "My Young Man" which she wrote about her ex-miner grandfather who was afflicted by Alzheimers. It was penned from her grandmother's perspective. It's what folk does best - melancholy.

Simply beautiful.❤️ Just paused "After Life" to look it up. This is at least, the fifth amazing song/artist I've found due to the show. The person who chooses the music should get a raise!😊So much great music! #MyLastStand

me and my three sisters sang this at my dads funeral last year. i listen to it whenever i need to to. my dad use to sing me to sleep every night. this is very important song to me and my family. completely beautiful, the lyrics the melody, everything.

Just watched After Life 3 and had to look up this song. Beautiful

Here because of Afterlife 3, what a beautiful song ❤️

Found this from watching afterlife series 3.what a voice ❤️

I cry every time I hear this song. My daughters are adults now, but this song brings back memories of a time that is gone. Enjoy your children when you can. Soon they will be gone.

Just love Kate for the last 10 years

Some won’t hear lullabies now at Southport. This brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Kate. Sad times.

I played her for my 5th Grade students and they all said; "She sounds like an angel!" Indeed.

My Mom will be 100 years old soon. When she leaves us, this song will be played at her funeral. Thanks Kate.

If everyone would listen to her, there wouldn't be war any longer...

Almost tells the story of my life. I'm broken and the nights are too long but music keeps me going. Beautiful song. Thank you

Omg your voice is stunning. I too found this song on Afterlife. Your tone, delivery and the emotion that you put in the song is everything and more.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This song was written by Kate for a friend of hers Davey Steele, he died in his early 50's. They were both at one time in the Battlefield Band, type in 'the last trip home', Davey wrote this, it was played at his funeral. So you now understand why there is so much emotion here, it's straight from the heart.

My future wife left me to this song i still love you 9 years later I Love you ELIZABETH

I get a thrill run up my leg every time I hear her voice , and she is very beautiful as well .

she has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

Still peaceful you make and child song memories as I drift into sweet fresh pillows and dreams of happiness. Good night Our Kate. X

Such a beautiful voice - it sends shivers up and down my spine. The added attraction of the Yorkshire accent just about makes me want to cry. This young lady is absolutely sensational.

I cant watch this without crying - it is exquisitely sad and beautiful all at once. Sunbeam :)

When I take the final long sleep, I hope someone will play this and those gathered will sing me lullabies! God Bless you always Kate.

Heard this on Afterlife, so glad I find this artist 🎶

I discoverred Kate tonight and I have been amaised at the songs she has given, My DVD of the leeds concert is on its way. I am amaised that I have listened to Kate songs most of the night and they are all wonderful The Yorkshire Couple is a gem. She is a wonderful singer and musician she will be masive in the future and she is a doll I orderred my dvd tonight love this lady

End of Afterlife S3, Ep 2. The voice of an angle. Beautiful.

come to Tennessee Kate. Bring your strings n bless the merry folk here with your songs...

get this girl to Tennessee, USA. would love to see/hear her.

You have the voice of a angel Kate, Love Lyn Goldsborough

So yeah, Ricky brought me here too. Amazing. Makes me wonder how many artists are there around the world that will never have the opportunity to be heard and seen. And then 15 years later someone puts their song in a series and it becomes an inspiration to the world.

Seen Kate a couple off times in Glasgow love her music ❤

Kate's music changed my entire perspective on life and this song started the process. Her music is, without exception, achingly beautiful and a road map to a better way of life.

It is like a bittersweet punch in the heart that makes you feel the pain of loss and grief and remember all those people you loved and lost and will never meet again. Makes me think of my lost youth as well and all the joy that the cruel passage of time takes from us piece by piece.

This song has that timeless aesthetic to it that you rarely come across but never fails to put you back in some moment which was so surreal it was not until later you really experienced the emotional pain from the loss.

The Afterlife 😢

Soundtrack for Afterlife and Stella,the most beautiful of songs 💚

I love this song it makes me cry wish I could have my life again a different life I miss my mum and my sister grace love from alison❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 3:47

Massive fan of Kate, love her to bits as we say in Yorkshire. She is brilliant. Her songs are inspired by her experiences, Her song" My Young Man" is so powerful when you realise it is a song from her grandmothers perspective of her life when her husband was dying. That is very personnal and she does it with dignity and beauty,

How is it that someone i've never met can see so deeply into my soul?

Lay me down gently, lay me down low, I fear I am broken, I won't mend I know. There's one thing I ask when the stars light the skies - Who now will sing me lullabies? Oh who now will sing me lullabies? In this big world I'm lonely, for I am but small. Oh angels in Heaven don't you care for me at all? You've heard my heart breaking, for it rang through the skies. So why won't you sing me lullabies? Oh why won't you sing me lullabies? I lay here, I'm weeping, and the stars they have come. I lay here not sleeping, now the long night has begun. The man in the moon, oh he can't help but cry, For there's no one to sing me lullabies. No there's no one to sing me lullabies. So lay me down gently, oh lay me down low, I fear I am broken, I won't mend I know. There's one thing I ask, now the stars light the skies - Who now will sing me lullabies? Oh who now will sing me lullabies? Oh, lullabies... Who will sing me to sleep? Who will sing me to sleep? Who will sing me to sleep? Who will sing me to sleep? Who will sing me to sleep? Who will sing me to sleep? Who will sing....

I heard this while watching After Life, a week after my Dad died. It is now and always will be for my dad. It is my lament. I can't hear it without crying, but I am okay with that. Love you Dad

This is powerful stuff.....more so after watching it 50 times non-stop! I only heard of this girl yesterday, just bought tickets to see her twice this year! It's like finding a missing link in life. I own over 1000 albums of all genres and this has slipped through my very wide net, no longer though..she has been caught!

Just gorgeous 😍❤

We saw Kate at the Birchmere (northern Virginia) in April 2002, I think. I've been in love with her voice and music ever since.

I can add a bit more here, Davy Steele was part of the Battlefield Band, he wrote 'the last trip home' that was played at his funeral, it is on youtube, and worth a listen. Good-day Colin.

Her music is just what I need to hear when I do not want to be in my own head,she chases away all the boogie men

I'm going to watch the Barnsley Nightingale this Wednesday and am very excited. She tours constantly and it's well worth buying a ticket.

To treat myself I listen to Kate from November the 5th -through to Christmas something to look forward to - Wishing you all a happy Kate Rusby season

One of my favorite songs ever! Kate's voice is angelic and achingly beautiful! Perfectly performed!

Saw Kate last night in Cardiff she was brilliant. I've been waiting an age for her to come to Cardiff but it was well worth the wait. I dont think you are prepared for how wonderful her voice really is. When she started singing I felt quite emotional. A most wonderful concert. She's quite funny also must be great company. These people who poke fun at folk music don't know what they are missing.

Beautiful. I was in Womad about 15 years ago heading to the regge gig...heard a voice singing ...hadd to stop...started listening...and it was her...i cried from joy ....i eventually made it to the regge but very late. Love her. Her songs over lockdown ..bloody awesome!! ❤

Who could possibly dislike this??? I will never understand the people who click 'dislike' on such beautiful videos! Love this song, Love Kate....magic!

...I'm speechless...

This song captures just how I'm feeling right now. Her voice is so lovely.

I couldnt have put it any better imashpa - this is just beauty in every way.

Kate..... Thank You & WOW!!!! the word emotion does not begin to convey the depth and feeling of your songs...... we just luv yer music Lass ;-)

I am smitten after hearing this on After Life. Just beautiful!

Shresbury's new 'Theatr severn' venue hosts Kate Rusby on the 20th May 2010. Look forward to going and watching it :)

This is sending shivers doon me spine

Reminds me of my mother and how it felt when she passed. How it still feels. Beautiful song.

I come from germany and I've never heard anything of her. In our country she's not so famous,but I love ronan keating and so I know her because she is singing a song together with ronan

Absolutely love Kate Rusby’s amazing voice what a talented artist.

A song about loss, of all sorts. I can't listen to this without a tear in my eye when thinking about all those who I have loved and who have now departed this life, leaving me without lullabies. Painful but Wonderful.

What a silky mesmerizing voice. Thank you Kate for sharing your "gift" with the world. Truly beautiful.

Omg what a beautiful song. What a amazing voice with beautiful lyrics.

Goodness! Who is this genious and why is not the world worshipping the path she leads!

We love Kate too. Heartbreaking.

I love her music makes me tingle everytime I hear her songs. I was lucky enough to see her once. Anyone heard of Jim Moray? Just can't get him on You Tube he's awesome too.

The man in the moon isn't the only one who can't help but cry.

That voice! That voice! It sees my soul....

Who's here thanks to Ricky Gervais?

this time tomorrow -I'll be at her show - Can't wait!!

A voice that makes me well up every time…..beautiful.❤️

I still don’t understand why Kate isn’t a mega star. Her songs are far better than Adele or any other contemporary female song writer.

This song brought tears to my eyes when she performed in Rochester Castle Gardens this year. It does the same here.

She's just announced she's having a baby in the autumn. Congratulations Kate!

She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

Beautiful - so perfect for After Life.

I'm now so attuned to this song that the opening chord results in tears without end...how can it not when you know the story?

Hi Kate...thank you so much for sharing your remarkable talent...your voice just reaches so deep inside ..it touches every nerve ending.....you are truly gifted and myself and my 11 year old daughter truley ..admire your gift of song ..thank you ..

Brilliant song can't help but cry every time I hear this song

Just beautiful.

Brilliant live love this song British folk music at it's best!

I'm another American who's just dicovered Kate; for me she's great. Too bad most here don't know her music.

Beautiful song. Searched for it after hearing it on After Life ! Thank you.

Thanks Kate..!

Kate Rusby is a total legend - probably my fave singer of all time

Kate Rusby is an ABSOLUTE treasure. She's the voice of an angel. Thank you, so much Kate.

This song will forever both break and heal my heart in equal measures. It reminds me of the babies we lost, but then we played it to our amazing little boy every night in the womb and to this day, this song is for him and his siblings we never had the chance to meet 💛

Simply beautiful x

Absolutely love this song..I used to sing it to my daughter when she was little.

Funny to hear everyone has finally discovered Kate after the ' After Life' soundtrack, She's been a national treasure and a cottage industry in the UK for decades. I love her accent,

Thanks Kate, for a true heart and passion it's possible to get beautifull song out from three old chords. Symple, beautifull, sweet as a motrher singing a lullaby to her child. Thanks. Daniele

Noooo, let her come to the Netherlands please .. ;-) Beautiful soft voice, with a lot feeling ... astrid Netherlands

I have been finding it hard to go to sleep recently due to exam stress and stuff... so everynight I play this and by the end of the song I am ready to drift off. I really love this song and it will always have a place in my heart. :') xx

I absolutely love this song, I to heard it on after life.The melody, the voice and the meaning....just beautiful 😍
