If someone notices this, I’m still alive and fighting depression

The worst part about someone dying isn’t when they die, it’s when you realize that they aren’t coming back.

I sent this to my brother because we are both fighting chronic depression. We watched it together and both cried like babies together for a few hours

A message to future generations: don't let this song die. Masterpiece!

"And if you were drowned at sea, I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe" That's true love.

"The saddest part of the life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory.. "

I lost my Big Brother 5 years ago. he was my foundation, my safety, I knew everything was gonna be ok when he was there. I see this song as a promise to him. that even though he's gone, I'll keep going. I know he is on the other side fighting for me and our family. I just want to make him proud. I miss him. ❤

Everyone 2024?

The saddest part of this song is the fact that these brothers can’t make new memories together.

Dear person that’s reading this, we don’t know each-other but I wish you all the best in life!.

I lost my big brother, my soldier this year. On my first day of junior year. This song hits so close to home, i always wish i would've reached out, wish i would've notice him mourning the loss of our oldest brother. I should've known he was hurting, this song is so beautiful. I love it and I think of him every single time i listen to it but it breaks my heart knowing i have to wait a while until i can see him again. But I've got to continue both their legacies so I'm going strong. Thank you so much for this song.

The most gut-wrenching and heartbreaking music video I have seen. I don't have to have siblings to know that losing a sister or brother is one of the most soul destroying events one can experience. It's a bond like no other. A sacred bond even. 😢

words are not enough to describe how beautiful the song is.

“If you have nothing in life but a loving brother, you’re rich.” -Unknown

My sister showed me this song like 7 months ago and recently she passed away aged 24 I can't listen to this without crying my heart out. I miss n love you Charley Robertson,😢

Who still listening in 2024

This song is enough to make a grown man cry

Just imagine loosing one of your siblings at a young age. That’s a whole different type of heartbreak.

I lost my brother 15 years ago and as soon as I listen to this song my tears just came down what a truly heart breaking emotional song.

don't matter how many times its been, I will probably always cry to this.

As the doctor once said “the day someone dies isn’t the worst, as lest you have something to do, the worst day is all the days they stay dead”

damnit kodaline stop making me cry

Stop and read this comment If you are fighting some thing God is working in your life. Even if you’re fighting depression or have lost a family member. Don’t hurt yourself always remember there’s always someone out there for you, i promise you I’ve been there

Lost my brother January 1st of this year and had to "celebrate" my 28th birthday without him. I'm now an only child and struggle to find meaning in life without him now. Since then my mother has had 2 strokes and I'm not hopeful she's gonna live another 2-5 years because of health problems. The only thing keeping me remotely sane is my wife and son. Losing a sibling is harder on me than anything I've ever experienced in my life. We go through life expecting to lose parents and grandparents, but siblings are the people we are supposed to grow old together with and help each other in times of great need. Now that's all taken from me and I'll never get to experience that type of bond with anyone else again. Rest in Peace brother. Till we ride again in Valhalla.

I've had broken arm, bruises, scars but nothing hurts more then just the thought of losing my family.

We need more songs like this. " I've got you, brother" This isn't just a lyric, it's a feeling.

listening this song after an argument with your brother definitely hits different. the anger, the fear, the sadness. they all are mixed and the result is just tears and a need to get a big hug from him. reading all the comments makes me realize how lucky I am, but also so scared of losing him… thank you.

I lost my brother yesterday, and searched 'brother' looking for a song to help me get through this horrific pain... thank you..

2017:I'm crying 2019:I'm still crying

This song always bring tears, it’s too good 😭

A song I always dedicated to my brother because even if the whole world goes against me , I always know he would be by my side , and I hope he realises he's the most precious person to me.❤

I lost my brother a month ago. I don't know how to live without him. We had so many plans together.

I'm leaving my comment here, so whenever someone click thumbs up, i'll always be reminded of this masterpiece.

My brother passed a year ago and I have been looking for a song that captures my regrets, my wishes… everything I still try to keep bottled inside. Thank you for writing this.

If you're struggling any sort of problems don't worry brother ...the greatest men in the Bible suffered the same but in the end they came out shining. Hold on tight,don't give up 🙏🏻

Just lost my brother last week and everyday I feel like I am losing myself into a darker place but I am staying as strong as I can

I was a horrible older brother. I would abuse my brother emotionally and physically, he grew up suicidal since the age of 11. He cut his wrists daily, and I was too stupid to comfort him. Instead I would yell at him, call him names, I even said kill yourself multiple times to him. At age 15 he started going off the rails, drugs he ran away from home multiple times. And during this time anytime he would come home I would be so negative to him, like he didn’t even matter to me anymore. Throughout this, my mom was dying of kidney failure. Dialysis 3 times a week few hours a day, so my parents were rarely home as my dad had to start working doubles almost everyday to support us. But my senior year was the worst. She was in and out of the hospital. I couldn’t handle living at home, it was terrible, I was depressed and wanted out, I was skipping school, lying to my parents, failing all my classes. I became homeless right after I turned 18, my parents found out I wasn’t graduating, and I was too ashamed to even want them to see me. The first person I texted was my brother. Now by this time we were okay, we had matured we understood now better than when we used to. He responded instantly, offered to give me whatever he had money wise to get me off the streets. I couldn’t take any of it, I lied and said I was fine living with a friend etc. Keep in mind at this point my brother is still on the streets and is only a year younger than me. Fast forward, the worst moment in both of our lives, 2/8/19 when my mother died, the only parent who ever loved my brother as a parent should. My dad and brother always butted heads. After that I texted my brother every day, praying he didn’t take his life. And thank god he didn’t, 3 months after that his girlfriend gave birth to a beautiful girl, giving my brother another reason to live. Fast forward a year and he’s my best friend. Idk where I’d be without him, we’re both going to job corps this September to get our diplomas and we’re both studying to become CMC nurses. Please if you have a sibling, don’t be mean. Regardless of how upset they make you. It’s not worth any of the struggle or heartbreak I promise you. Edit:Thanks to everyone who read this and responded with positivity! Please keep your family close and spread the message, this generation of suicide and depression has to end, we need to treat everyone with kindness. Also a huge shoutout to my younger sister, I didn’t include her in the story because she didn’t really have any issues but she’s been the best. so keep her in your thoughts too bless you all!

This song means so much to me. My little brother passed away four years ago and I chose this to play for him at his funeral. I still cry every time I hear it and I play it all the time . He was even a redhead like the boys in the video so I love watching it. Thank you so much for this song it just says everything I couldn’t put into words at the time. ❤❤❤❤❤

This video tells you how much you love your siblings even how much they annoy you. You'll never forget how much you love them and the pain youll suffer if you lose them will power over you. So even how much your siblings annoy you you can never forgive yourself if you didn't spend time with them. So you should spend time with them and before you know it their gone forever.

"A man doesn't die when he is dead he dies when he is forgotten"

My brother took his life yesterday and today is his birthday. I sent him this song once when talking was hard. I should have been there when I wasn't. His pain overwhelmed me. I made it my own. I should have forced my way in. I should have called him everyday. I'll never get to tell him I love him again or yell at him for being a total dick, which he could be. Hug your people tight. Check on them regularly in these trying times whether they reply or not. My brother is gone and I am left with all this regret. This song is really getting me through it. I don't know that I could have saved my brother but I do know and will always know that I could have tried harder. There is no therapy that will ever erase that knowledge.

My parents gave me two brothers and life gave me three, for any of the five I would give everything and they know it, sometimes I don't do the right thing with them, but if something happened to them I don't know what would happen to my life, I love them very much and I am grateful To God for having them, every moment we have lived, moments of joy, of sadness, we have laughed together, we have cried together and despite everything we remain together and every day our friendship becomes stronger. Thank you.

isn’t it crazy how songs come into your life at the right time?

These two actors are brothers in real life. In case you wondering why their chemistry is so amazing. Such an emotional video

My mum neglected us and our dad wasn’t in the picture so it was just me and my brother for 15 years. He basically raised me, he was my best friend. I lost him to substance addiction on Christmas Eve 2020 at the age of 18 and I miss him more every day. Thank you brother, for being there for me and making me who I am today.

I lost my dad today which made me heart broken because he was everything to me...I love you daddy..rest well😢😅

damn this song hits deep and hard 😢 it felt like this song was written for me !!! I had three brothers and i'm the youngest one. Unfortunately....all of my three brothers had passed away 😞😭 The eldest passed away on 2013 when i was abroad working and due to my contract i couldn't even attend his funeral ⚱️ i didnt even had the chance to say goodbye to him even at his last moment.And then the 2nd youngestgot drowned in a lake on 2017 !! It was really devastated and a painful memory cause he and i were very close ,we had a special bond and he was a very cool ,loving guy 😊 And again on 2018 ,Feb my Father passed away due to heart attack !!! And just when we think that things couldn't have been worst , only two months since my father had passed away ....the 2nd eldest brother passed away again 😢😢 Its like ,i was having the worst nightmare of my life 😱😰😖 So ...in just a matter of one year ,i lost my two brothers and my father !!! It was really hard to cope with reality and the only thing that comes to my mind was suicide,so that all of this trauma,the loneliness,the pain inside my mind ,the idea of being next etc would stop and i could forget all of this incidents 😖 i really dont care about my life anymore and i dont care about anyone.I was so lost and isolated from the world.Long story short,i started having depression, anxiety,panic attack,insomnia, hallucinations and some mental illness.I visited many doctors but it keep getting worst day by day.I started taking pills and got addicted to it !! My life was horrible and dark too but my mother never gave up on me and every night she will pray for me in hope that one day i will change my life and live my life happily like i used to before.Well,her prayer had been answer by God ,now i'm sober and regain my life 😊❤ When ever i listen to this song,i close my eyes and recollects all the things that me and my brothers used to do when we were young 😢 And whenever i miss my father,i used to listen ...Cat Steven's song,Like Father and Son 😀 its a nice story telling song ❤🎉 Thank u for everyone,who had finished reading this long comment about my tragic story ,wish u a prosperous life ❤

I'm the youngest of three siblings. My brother is the oldest and my sister is the middle child. When we were young, our parents used to fight all the time. An there is this one incident I remember so clearly like it was yesterday. I was only four years old but for some reason it burned itself into my memory. Our parents were in the kitchen, fighting. My father was screaming at my mom while she was standing there, in tears. My siblings and I would eather hide behind the kitchen door (like we did on that day) or sit on the upper stairs and listen to them. Our mom caught us and told us to go outside and play. I just remember the three of us standing in the garden, speechless, scared and still able to hear the yelling of our parents. I used to be, and still am very sensitive. So as soon as my brother saw me on the verge of crying he just pulled me into his arms and hugged my sister and me. I never felt closer to them before. We swore each other that no matter what would happen to our family, we would never separate. We held the promise even after our parents divorced ten years ago. They are both downstairs watching a movie right now. Hearing them laugh after everything we've been through makes me so incredibly happy. I'm so happy I got them both in my life. They've been there every step of the way, we got each others backs. I don't know what I would do without them.

the golden words: "If I was dying on my knees You would be the one to rescue me And if you were drowned at sea I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe" Just made me cry........

Makes me think of my mom, who I lost when I was 9. Im now 15, my brother and family got me through the pain. It doesnt matter that im adopted, my family is family. They cared that I lost my bio mom💜💜💜

Dropping by to say I miss you so much little brother and I love you forever my brother!!I wanted to have you here, because you were more than my brother, you were the only one capable of saving me, of getting me out of this chaos. I will wait for you, wait for our reunion because you are my brother, if I were dying you would be the only one to save me I love you my brother and I miss you so much little brother!!

For those who died, we won’t forget you. For those who are alive, we hear you.

I'm crying like a baby even tho I've seen this video and heard this song so many times already.

Never miss a moment to love and create memories with your loved ones. To all the strangers reading this comment, i wish u love and courage to fight ur way out in this life

Every time I watch a video I read the comments. I hear people’s pain, struggles, sometimes their innermost vulnerabilities. I feel like I know some strangers better than I know some people in my life. To all of you, I send my love and the most supportive energy. Tragedy doesn’t break us, it makes us.

This is the saddest and at the same time the best song I have ever seen.

who's still watching and crying in 2020

My brother is clearly struggling with his bad habits , like almost everyone elese does . He is just 17 , has gotten into almost every bad habits . I really feel for him . Don't really want his future to be that bad . Sometimes i abuse him but i always curse myself for doing that . I promise u mere bhai you will get over it . Tumhare liye tera bhai hai abhi jinda ❤️🙏

This never fails to make me cry.

The worst part is, *I dont have a brother but still hurts.* The more time you spend, the more you make memories, together, the more you love a person, The more it hurts. :')

No matter how many times I watch this. No matter how old I am. No matter if I’m alone. No matter if I’m in public. No matter if I’m at school. No matter if I’m in a test. Every time I watch this official video, whether I hear the lyrics and imagine seeing the video or just watching it, I will cry. And I will do so, with dignity. If I get judged? So be it! If I get laughed at? Who cares? If I’m mocked the rest of my life for crying, then so be it. This song will always bring the soft, sad, and sweet me out. Kodaline, best song lyrics and video. I will play this song if or when one of my brothers die. This is will live on forever.

I lost my brother when I was 12, he was 18. He had his whole life ahead of him, he died of a heart condition he was born with. He died in 2012, he just graduated high school like 4 months before he passed. I have another older brother who I’m close to, last year we finally talked about that situation. Hearting breaking thing is, we both struggled, nothing told each other or our parents. Every time I listen to this song, I go back to that day, and keep questioning while I’m still alive, and why he isn’t. ❤❤❤❤ love you big brother.

This broke my heart. My family loss my uncle three years ago. My dad lost his older brother. Even thought my dad 55 years old at the time he still looks at my uncle as his older brother and him still the baby brother. Even though your grow up the ranks of oldest to youngest never change. That truly evident at my uncle grave side how my aunts and uncle turned back into there younger self grieving there brother. My dad was grieving his older brother and it was absolutely heartbreaking and devastating to witness first hand.

it's impossible to listen to this without crying.

why kodaline always make me cry!?

Rest in peace, to those who lost their love one.

I love my lil bro so much. He means the world to me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lost my brother 5 months ago in a car accident. This song kills me I can’t stop crying

Fuck man. I still have my brother but this video just made me cry like a little girl seeing the stuff these brothers did are the same shit me and mine did growing up and all i could think about was what if i lost mine. So grateful for him and im sorry to all the other brothers out their that have lost their brother. Stay strong.

I lost my brother when I turned 13… I was slowly fighting myself of a broken heart to the point I couldn’t feel anything in my body and went numb. Went home from school pale and my father told me I need to stop. I can’t give up on myself when my brother is watching me now I need to do it for him. I graduated high school and walked the graduation line not just for me that day but for him as well. Now I’m in college going on my second semester and will walk that graduation line for him once again. To show him that we both did it. When he gained his wings I chose to finish these things he wasn’t able to. Together we walk side by side, on earth or in another life. I got you Brother!! Forever our little rascal

I will listen to this song every day so I remembers peaple in my famliy that past that I never got to see and know

I lost my brother 3 years ago. We had a very close relationship, he was such a cute and smart boy. I always cared about him, and he's always cared about me too. We loved each other and almost always finished the other's sentence, laughing at stupid things together. All that fun and laughter, all the memories we had together, it ended suddenly. I wish I could gave him to my lungs. We had an accident and he drowned. He fought for his life, and so did I, who was by his side in the water the whole time. I saw my brother died. I screamed and screamed, but he never came back to the surface. I thought I'm in a very bad nightmare. That fear in his voice, that moves what he did... I couldn't save him. It breaks my heart every time to think about it. And I found this song yesterday. My tears falling while I listened and I thought this song is for me. It's for my brother. For Us. I don't really talk about it, but this song brought back very deep emotions. Beautiful song with a very moving video clip. I wish every brother and sister a lot of strength who had lost his/her best friend, soulmate, support, or even the one who constantly upset him/her with his/her silly jokes. Sibling is a wonderful thing. I know mine's always here with me.

This song brings tears to my eyes nearly every freakin' time.

I was fine for the whole video but the last scene just hit hard and I started crying immediately

My brother was born with a rare genetic disease, he died only at 12 and I remember every moment of his life, happy, sad and hard. He was in and out of the hospital. One day, my parents got a call and they rushed to him at a hospital and he passed away. My biggest regret and the lowest moment of my life is a didn't get a chance to say goodbye. He was my brother my friend and best friend. RIP Ben, I love you.

Lie down Try not to cry Cry a lot

I first heard this song three months ago after losing my younger brother in a drowning accident, so these lyrics hit so fucking close to home for me. He had just turned 23 in March, and me 25 in February.

My grandma passed away a few years ago and I still have dreams about her and I miss her so much!

who actually cried while watching? i did/:

I’m literally crying at this point. Not only the song is touching and emotional but so is the video, bro I’m in literal tears. It’s a rainfall that’s coming out of my eyes

Deadlift workout music right here 💖 *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s* 💖 dun took Kodaline oFf 2 da big leagues and for dat I will always be super grate

My older brother passed July 20, 2017. Which is less than a month after this video was published on youtube. Somehow, I stumbled across this video in the short time in between this video getting published and his passing. I got very emotional thinking about the possibility of something like that actually happening to me/my older brother. It helped me feel a deep appreciation for my brother being alive, not knowing he wouldn't be for much longer. You're never prepared for losing someone, but I look back and feel God put this video in my life as a way to try to and help me.

Dear brother, I miss u. I wish u were here. Growing up with me.

my brother Martin died from a miscarriage, I'm 18 and every now and then I think of how we'd be together and act with one another. This video gave me the visualization I needed and everytime I watch this I'll be thinking of him. RIP Martin, Cant wait for the day I finally meet you bud. I hope I've been making you proud, God Bless everyone

The song is enough to bring back memories, the video is enough to make you cry.

I love my brother so much that's why I understand this song ❤❤❤❤😊

2:27 "I'm not going anywhere" Guess who cries? Yes. Me.

I'm so happy that people are coming back 3 years later and still sharing positivity and kindness. This was needed for 2020 Edit: If your going through something in your life atm that's pulling you down I wish you the best and hope that you look at some of these amazing people in the comments 😊

She may never see this but I dedicate this to my big sister. I'm so proud of her for fighting everyday her demons. I'm glad you stood up even in a lot of pain. The world is a better place with you in. Even if one thousand people hated you, I would still get up and scream how much I love you. I may have hated you at some point of my life, but we can't forget we grew up in a toxic household where our family did everything to make us hate each other. If you see this one day, Kelly, I hope you know and realize I would do anything just to see you smile. I've got you sister, even in the despair of cold and hurtful nights ❤❤ I will never settle for less than my real worth and I hope you too cause you deserve the whole world and even more x

"If I was dying on my knees you would be the one to rescue me" Hits deep

at 2:27 im pretty sure he said "ill be here when you wake up" im crying over this

I hope Kodaline having a good day

I miss u grandma life is so depressing without u

Writing this for my brother, idk/idc if he will ever see it. I may be your sister but I got you 100% whenever you need it.

in the comments of a kodaline song... people open their hearts and talk about their feelings... this band can be described by just one word MAGIC

This is so hard to watch when you have siblings.... [Edit] Thank's for the likes I guess 😅 and also to all the people in the comments who lost their sibling... I'm so sorry for your loss 😪 the world is so unfair ...

Our brothers are our second father with more patients ❤

Lost my brother 3 weeks due sickness. My everything. He was only 61. Every night I dream of him. ❤️❤️

I lost my big brother back when i was 7 years old he was 19 i still remember when he made a promise that no matter what he'd always protect me no matter where he was. Back then i didn't understand what he meant by that back then but looking back he was saying that even in death he would still watch over me and protect me. When i turned 8 my mom gave birth to my little brother and named him after my big brother and i made the same promise my brother made to me and i take care of him the way my big brother took care of me

I lost my brother 1 week ago on a car accident. I think I'm never going to stop crying. I just really wish he was here. I love him so much.
