My dad passed away a couple weeks ago. I didn't shed a tear because I was more mad at him than anything. He drank away his liver in just a short couple years. Your song finally let that anger lift and reminded me we all have monsters inside. This was the first time I've cried since he passed. Thanks for your inspiration. P.S. I inherited his guitar. Plan on playing this for his service.

Most kids grow up thinking their Dad is superhuman and unstoppable. There comes a time when you have grown up and you realise the mortality of your father and that he no longer is that super human you saw as a kid and everything just flips. This song really reflects that brilliantly.

Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away [Verse 2] Oh, well I'll read a story to you Only difference is this one is true The time has gone I folded your clothes on the chair I hope you sleep well, don't be scared The time has gone, so here it is [Chorus] I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away [Bridge] Sleep a lifetime Yes and breathe a last word You can feel my hand on your own I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on Let there be no darkness in your heart [Chorus] But I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?

Iam, your voice is heavenly and you are divinely talented. Every time I hear you singing this song I burst into tears. My dad passed away 12 years ago. The thing is when he died we were not by him. He was on a trip to visit his siblings and passed away there. So we never got to say goodbye to him. It still hurts after 12 years. I miss him so much. I wish you the very best. You make your daddy proud, my boy. I really love you.

Hace una semana mi padre falleció por la enfermedad de Alzheimer y me tocó espantar sus monstruos muchas veces. Esta preciosa canción me hizo llorar porque se siente que más que de las cuerdas vocales viene directo del corazón y tu padre y el mío están allá arriba recibiendo aún nuestro amor. Gracias, infinitas gracias 🙏

I just lost my father a couple weeks ago. His health had been deteriorating really fast the last couple months. Its not easy watching your parent die. I am having a really hard time with arrangements and coping. Listening to this I cannot help but lose control of my tears. I hadn't broken down until I heard your cover. I have to be a rock for my family so I try to keep my composure, its rough feeling the need to always be in good spirits. Thank you for your cover.

This is by far not only the best cover of this song but I think it’s better than the original. Every time I listen to you sing it, my heart bursts and I cry. I have also lost my father. Keep singing and sharing your voice with the world. ❤️🇦🇺

How awesome! One of the guys that close their eyes and sing to their dad while strumming away , will win this season. Book it. I’m a fan!

My dad passed away January 2022. My husband was watching your audition on American Idol & so i looked you up & watched.. As soon as you started singing, memories of my dad just came flooding in, couldn't hold back my tears. Sorry for your loss. I know your dad is super proud of you! Keep up the amazing work. RR4L _\,,/

I lost my father when I was only a month old. I have my own children now, and your singing of this has taught my 4 year old son about the loss. It’s hard to explain. But thank you. We love it.
