this was played at my dad's funeral. it was an amazing tribute as it speaks about his life.

[jamesglennie]

Going to playing this at my wife’s funeral next week, it just says everything I can ever say to her. I miss her so much it hurts to breathe. My darling Moira I will be with some day so just wait for me. Love you forever xx

When you listen to the original version it sound more upbeat and happy without much meaning. Listen to Sleeping At Last, it's mush more meaningful and makes you think about life, and its beauty. I can't my love for Sleeping At Last is overload

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you.
And when I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you.

And when I come home, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home to you.
And when I'm dreamin', well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm workin', yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's workin' hard for you.
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass along every cent of it to you.

And when I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you.
And if I grow old, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
[x2]

When I wake up, well I hope I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's waking up to you.
And when I'm dreamin', well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time I had with you.

The original by The Proclaimers is for the journey
This cover is for the destination.

this is so beautiful, it's like the original version sounds how we pretend to be, happy and stuff, but this is how we really feel inside.

[mrsmay]

my wedding song..I found it! now to find the man and I'm golden!

[hopemccaul]

i actually like this version better, it gives it some meaning. i still like the other version its like the fun version but this version is more meaningful!!

[emilyhedgecock]

Why are people saying that this is depressing? Just because it's a slower version doesn't make it depressing, it still has a happy and deep meaning to it. I love this cover! It was beautifully done.

Ryan has the gift of being able to sound broken-hearted in EVERY song. I am SO HAPPY that he is a family friend. Glad you all love it.
Have a great Of. Your. Life.

My wife and I went to the Karaoke Cafe almost every week for five years...everytime we got up and sang 500 miles by the crowd really got into it...especially the da da da da's 😁!
We were married 38 years til she passed away last December 💔😢.
A fiend of mine just sent me this version....I thought that after 9 months the heavy tears were passed.
This song.
This week....
.I've cried harder and longer 😢
Than ever, !!!


I miss you Eunice 😘

Love, Otis.

What a beautiful version of a very much loved song

[Veinsmcgains]

It's amazing how the speed and the tone can change the whole song's meaning.

This was my brother's wedding song. They met in 7th grade and dated ever since. She had to move to the other side of the county for college but they didn't let it stop them. They got married the summer after they graduated, and it was beautiful.

[bubblyrai]

Awwe this brings back bittersweet memories of my first love. Wished he's happy and safe wherever he is now.😌❤

[davewardlaw]

I sadly lost my wonderful wife 4 yrs ago, she was very proud to take my surname ( it’s Scottish, meaning ‘people from the hills’ ) I can’t hear this beautiful song without thinking of her.
tell your partner that you love them Everyday!
Never argue, nothing is worth it
Hold them
Care for each other
A bunch of flowers always bring a smile
Kiss good night
A million memories are the only thing you’ll have left and this song

[ErikZarins]
