I was born is 69. I was deeply moved by this song. My dad passed at the age of 61. I was only 38. Like you and so many, I felt lost and alone. What comforts me is the universality. Not one person is not affected by loss. "Want do we do?". Collectively. No one is immune to pain. Sure that doesn't minimize your own grief, but instead makes you cognizant others may be better equipped to comfort the mourners or those experiencing grief as they were themselves equipped to handle it and now can help another. Bless you. And, God never left His alone. Hugs.

Clearly you haven’t actually spent any time exploring the music of the generations that came after you. It’s such an ignorant and pointless boast. As if you had anything to do with it anyway.

I understand completely. My amazing Father died when I was 11 years old, in 1975. My Mom and Dad were 42 years old when he passed away from a sudden Heart Attack. I dreamed about his passing 3 days before it actually happened. My Mom fell apart and couldn't even dial our push button phone. I had to handle the whole thing, which is what I did in my dream. God truly prepared me for what I had to do and I'm grateful for it. Four years later, the last dream I had of him, he said, I have to go now. He hugged me and disappeared. Fast forward to 2023, I had an NDE, and I got to see my Dad, and his Parents, my wonderful Grandparents. Dad smiled at me, walked up to me, and spun me around and I came back. Not my time, but just seeing them even briefly, did me a world of good. It was indescribable, but so amazing. I miss all 3 of them, and the pain of losing them has never left me. I was just too young. However knowing I will get to spend eternity with them in Heaven, gives me such great peace.

I know I do, even when it wasn't all a bed of roses. But I'm truly grateful for what my parents gave me. I try to pass those many good things on to my children - just the way life is meant to be, if you're lucky enough to be blessed with children. It's allright to mourn. To miss your parents. To feel sad about the loss. But remember: it's a good sign. The feeling tells you that life has worked out just the way it should. Count your blessings. And know that you're not alone. Naturally.

I was a little girl when this song came out, I was a teenager in the eighties and light simple pop and rock was my thing. As an adult I started broadening my musical tastes,of course,and I can whole heartedly say nothing beats the music styles and the songs from the seventies. Songs told stories,some were catchy,some were intense,some were sad ,but 99 per cent were well crafted and you could feel there was talent and hard work behind. Please show me any of that in any of the lame tunes you hear now. Gilbert O Sullivan,like Tod Rudgren,Scott Mckenzie, Brian Protheroe or Al Stewart wrote some of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to, I'm so glad we have Spotify or KZhead to keep enjoying them and to discover dozens of others who belonged in that glorious decade and are there for us to discover and listen to!

I can imagine that would be so good played on sax. Gilbert O’Sullivan was my teenage music days - loved his music and all the rest of the 70’s music - such a wide range of great music in the day and didn’t know we were so lucky. So many favourites - Slade was a favourite for a good while, wizard, David Bowie, sweet, just so many different genres - not to forget elvis of course and just coming off the back of the fabulous 60’s - we were so lucky to have all that wonderful music in the day

Jim Valvano the North Carolina State basketball coach who passed from cancer said there are three things to do to have a full day. Number one is to laugh to find humor in every day things. Number two is to cry. They can be tears of joy or of sorrow. Number three is to make time to be deep in thought. If you do those three things in a day that's a full day!!

I was surrounded by thousands of other GIs going through the same deep, dark depression in a shit hole eight thousand miles from home.

I was 11 in 1972. The words of this song hit me later in life. My father passed two weeks before my 38th birthday. His funeral was on the day before my birthday. It poured rain that whole day of the funeral, like the sky was crying with me. There's just no good time to lose someone you love.
indeed. BTW I was 14 and I still am moved by this song. "What do we do?"
I was 16.
I was born is 69. I was deeply moved by this song. My dad passed at the age of 61. I was only 38. Like you and so many, I felt lost and alone. What comforts me is the universality. Not one person is not affected by loss. "Want do we do?". Collectively. No one is immune to pain. Sure that doesn't minimize your own grief, but instead makes you cognizant others may be better equipped to comfort the mourners or those experiencing grief as they were themselves equipped to handle it and now can help another. Bless you. And, God never left His alone. Hugs.
I was 19 when this wonderful song was recorded. I felt so grown up then. Now suddenly I'm 71 and I don't know where all those years went. Looking back across the years, I had so much growing up yet to do, and now I'm the older generation.
I was 47 when my father died I cried and didn't care who saw
Every generation likes to think its music was the best ever. Turns out, ours really is.
Total BS Your knowledge of music is limited If you had lived in the 1920s you would say exactly the same thing
This generation don't have any great songs. They don't have the love songs and song like this stuff who had meant something. It's the words is in the words. The words have a meaning that's a message. And the music and a message in the words today's music aint got no message. There's no message in this stuff. It makes no sense. They do whatever coming to mind to sell records to sell the songs that's all they care about.
Oh brother. GenX here…This is a clever song with a great hook. Guess what?There are still songwriters doing that. Why do Boomers always have to come to the comments and attempt to elevate their generation by putting down those that came after? Clearly you haven’t actually spent any time exploring the music of the generations that came after you. It’s such an ignorant and pointless boast. As if you had anything to do with it anyway. Also, this generation seems to be the only generation that does this.

This song is about death upon death, loneliness, and despair. Just curious, how does it make you happy? 🤔
May be the word "happy" is not the right one to describe the real emotion this song can arise, but the thing is that when you are getting old even sad but beautiful songs like this can make you happy, because you realize that at that time you were really happy being surrounded by your family and friends and also neighbours that I in the meantime have unfortunately passed away. I wish you all real "happiness" in your present❤

I know how you feel. I was a young girl of 17 when my Beloved Dad passed away in 1977. I'm 64 and despite moments of joy here and there, the crushing loss of my hero has forever changed me. The yearning to just see him again, has never went away. God Bless our Precious Dads
Im 50 and have 3 young kids. Hope im around to see them all grow up and do well in life.
God bless you❤
I understand completely. My amazing Father died when I was 11 years old, in 1975. My Mom and Dad were 42 years old when he passed away from a sudden Heart Attack. I dreamed about his passing 3 days before it actually happened. My Mom fell apart and couldn't even dial our push button phone. I had to handle the whole thing, which is what I did in my dream. God truly prepared me for what I had to do and I'm grateful for it. Four years later, the last dream I had of him, he said, I have to go now. He hugged me and disappeared. Fast forward to 2023, I had an NDE, and I got to see my Dad, and his Parents, my wonderful Grandparents. Dad smiled at me, walked up to me, and spun me around and I came back. Not my time, but just seeing them even briefly, did me a world of good. It was indescribable, but so amazing. I miss all 3 of them, and the pain of losing them has never left me. I was just too young. However knowing I will get to spend eternity with them in Heaven, gives me such great peace.
That's how I feel about my Mom.😢😊
I was born in 1972. However, I'm still listening to this masterpiece in 2024. 🎉🎉🎉
Still stunning beautiful. 2024
Never gets old, so beautiful

This song make cry, my husband passed, my Son also passed, they fought the good fight, I believe that will see them again soon and very soon when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoice that will be when wevall see Jesus we will sing and shout of victory !
I believe if we are children of God, eternity with our loved ones was paid in full at the cross. So sorry for your losses.
Of course, you will be with them and your words are very beautiful they resonate with my heart.
I am sorry for your losses. I do know that pain. I really believe God has carried me through some things I did not have strength to endure...... God bless

Yeah, but you're just repeating what every generation says about the next generation. People of the 1940s said that about the music in the 50s, and the 50s about the 60s....and so on. Comments like this have been taken place since Ancient Greece. Adults just seem to forget what it was like to be young, and todays kids will become adults and say the same about tomorrows kids.

@@rozchristopherson648 so sorry for the loss of your Beloved Dad. Being a young girl, my Dad was my Prince and Hero. He donated his body to science so my last vision of him was laying on his bedroom floor with paramedics pretending to revive him. I was young but I knew he wasn't alive. No goodbyes or even a hug. I had no closure and I'm still waiting for my hug. Here I am at 64 years old, grieving the greatest man I ever knew. Fortunately my Sweet Momma lived until I was 50. She truly was my Rock and Comfort. My profile pic is my little sisters and I a year after Dad's passing. My life was changed forever in 1977. Heaven was Blessed but we were broken. I Love You Daddy 💝💝💝

@@orlandosoto6080 so sorry for all your losses. My aunt was the last of 13 children. She always said she hated to be the only one left. She finally was reunited with her family about 7 years ago. I always told her to live her life with joy bc she would eventually be with them again. I truly believe she finally embraced her life again just like you need to. My faith tells me I will spend eternity with my loved ones, one beautiful day. God Bless You and always try to live life to the fullest. Our loved ones are just around the bend. 😇🥰😇

Wow. I read that twice😢❤
One of the most honest songs ever written. Just tells it as it is in an unpretentious, straightforward manner. At 71 years of age I feel that I am on borrowed time and this song truly strikes a chord. I shall hopefully soon be reunited with the two most important people in my largely miserable life - my Mum and sister....

Ditto hugs to you
There's so many of us. Orphaned later in life - just the way life is meant to be. If you're lucky, you will have so many great memories to cherish. I know I do, even when it wasn't all a bed of roses. But I'm truly grateful for what my parents gave me. I try to pass those many good things on to my children - just the way life is meant to be, if you're lucky enough to be blessed with children. It's allright to mourn. To miss your parents. To feel sad about the loss. But remember: it's a good sign. The feeling tells you that life has worked out just the way it should. Count your blessings. And know that you're not alone. Naturally.
Try and find comfort in knowing that you will be together again.

I was a little girl when this song came out, I was a teenager in the eighties and light simple pop and rock was my thing. As an adult I started broadening my musical tastes,of course,and I can whole heartedly say nothing beats the music styles and the songs from the seventies. Songs told stories,some were catchy,some were intense,some were sad ,but 99 per cent were well crafted and you could feel there was talent and hard work behind. Please show me any of that in any of the lame tunes you hear now. Gilbert O Sullivan,like Tod Rudgren,Scott Mckenzie, Brian Protheroe or Al Stewart wrote some of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to, I'm so glad we have Spotify or KZhead to keep enjoying them and to discover dozens of others who belonged in that glorious decade and are there for us to discover and listen to! Thanks for the video of this young Gilbert,!
Thank you God bless 🙏
You nailed it with that comment ❤
Sorry for your pain BUT why not listen to the lyrics of Chris Martin..e.g. ‘Fix You’ & especially ‘The Hardest Part’ which was recorded years ago..of course I’m a Coldplay fan,so am biased,but I really think we should be open minded about music Classical,Pop etc etc All the best to you 👋

death frees us from loneliness and sadness the main thing is to die with Christian dignity
Sometimes its better to be alone.
I was just 13 when this gorgeous song was released, just love it. Think I had the .45 record. too. What a voice-piano playing and the meaning is so sad & melancholy, 🎶 “What Do We Do?”🎶 So so true.

Love this song,I do hold back tears,my husband mother and father have all gone so it resonates with me,I am only 61❤

Every time I hear this played (usually on SXM--The Bridge channel) I stop, even if driving and listen. I cry every. single. time. I married my college sweetheart in 1972. We didn't stay together, but hearing songs from then always makes me think of him again; reminded once more that we were so young and immature. . .

What a hauntingly sad but beautiful song. I remember it from the good old days of the Second half of the twentieth Century when truth and reality had the upper hand.
A street musician played this on a sax in Sin City a few days ago and I knew God was there. This song is beautiful.
As for Gilbert's piano playing - he was taught to play piano by his best school house friend, Rick Davies. Rick also went into music, founding a band he named Supertramp!
I can imagine that would be so good played on sax. Gilbert O’Sullivan was my teenage music days - loved his music and all the rest of the 70’s music - such a wide range of great music in the day and didn’t know we were so lucky. So many favourites - Slade was a favourite for a good while, wizard, David Bowie, sweet, just so many different genres - not to forget elvis of course and just coming off the back of the fabulous 60’s - we were so lucky to have all that wonderful music in the day
Not god, Gilbert.
One of the greatest songs of all time !
Maravillosa canción. Era un adolescente cuando la escuché la primera vez y me impactó.
This man was a genius, loved hearing his songs when I was a kid
He is...he is still alive, thankfully
My father passed away and I wasn't there by his side. I think of it every day. Life is too short.
Jim Valvano the North Carolina State basketball coach who passed from cancer said there are three things to do to have a full day. Number one is to laugh to find humor in every day things. Number two is to cry. They can be tears of joy or of sorrow. Number three is to make time to be deep in thought. If you do those three things in a day that's a full day!!
A sad song that will last forever!!! ❤
Sad but beautiful. 😢

Una montaña rusa de emociones, melodía, letra, interpretación..es cerrar los ojos y viajar al pasado de una forma que solo pocas canciones pueden lograr...solo esta obra está a años luz de todos los regetoneros juntos, jamás, de todos los jamás llegarán siquiera a comparación alguna.
I was 7 yrs old and I loved this song in 72
Iraq in 2003 and Afghanistan in 2013. I've never felt so alone and empty in all my life. We didn't get by "day by day"...it was "one second after the next and one breath after the next" until it all slowly added up to a year and we could go home. I was surrounded by thousands of other GIs going through the same deep, dark depression in a shit hole eight thousand miles from home. For those of you who've never experienced something like this, you have no right to ever criticize combat veterans.
Legendary Song.of.a Legendary Singer..
As a songwriter I’m constantly studying well crafted song like this. It’s the bridge that really has me impressed though
I Was 15 when this song came out and still love it in 2024
I love singing this song every time we have our sunday fam day karaoke 👍😎👌Used to sing this to my dad, he loved this song a lot! ❤
Reminds me of the innocence of my youth growing up in the early 70’s 💕😃
1972... I remember this song. I was in my first year of college.
What a great song, better than 99.9% percent of the absolute garbage “music” foisted upon us nowadays.
Back in 1972 , l went to Puerto Rico and l heard this song on juke box. And since l like it. Brings me memories of the time l spend in my home Town Patillas.
I am 78 and my wife of 45 years passed away 5 years ago. She was an angel, she wouldn't even let me kill an insect. We added a phrase to our wedding vows "Until we meet in Heaven". I miss her so terribly. Some old songs are hard to listen to. I can never listen to "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro. Bless everyone who has lost a loving spouse.
この曲は素晴らしい。完璧だ。あのポールマッカートニーも唸っただけあるな。何度聴いても飽きることはない。
CUANDO LA MÚSICA ERA ARTE, PASIÓN, EMOCIÓN Y SENTIMIENTO. AHORA LA MÚSICA PERDIÓ SU ALMA.
