This gives me some old Beatles vibes a bit. I grew up on that kind of music and its so nice to hear something new that takes me back.
That's an Abba cover, maybe that's why :)
@@obstsalat21 Yeah, its his voice for me that makes me think he sounds a bit like the Beatles. Both The Beatles and Abba I do enjoy. :)
Well, the pre-chorus has the same chord sequence as the chorus of John Lennon's Imagine. : )
Wow, tha's exactly what I thought listening before I read the comments!
Reminds me of she’s leaving home by the Beatles
As some people on TikTok have pointed out, there’s something very McCartney about this cover.
someone did an AI cover of Mccartney's vocals over this song and it sounded exactly like he did when he first sung it on an Instagram live. Even Declan was shocked himself lol
ABBA are very Beatles at their core if you strip away the disco affectations
@@loveino1269 It was Declan's vocals, he was shocked people thought it was AI McCartney.
in particular in this version,a magical mix between mcCartney and Tom Yorke
@@sharpvidtubeooom yesair
So glad he released this, it’s so comforting.
It’s on Spotify too. I’m assuming in other places as well
@@EM-rt9us Not this version tho, its the guitar one
its weird bc i know this song is originally written from the perspective of a parent watching their child grow up but having just turned 23 and moved halfway across the world for grad school, I cant help but hear in it a self reflective sadness about the passage of times in one's own life. the absentminded girlhood now gone.
either way, this abba song always gets me but its never made me cry in the way his cover of it did. amazing.
you put this into words so well. i'm 23 and about to finish my bachelor's degree in july, and it makes me want to hurl thinking about how time passes. where did all the time go? how am i suddenly here? i'm glad for all the experiences that i've had, but the way that time just flies still makes me tear up.
also i'm sorry if this came out of nowhere, but if you're a reader, i think you would enjoy reading coming home again by chang-rae lee (it's a short story).
@@puanmarceline Ohmygosh!!!!! Random stranger!!!!! How dare you recommend me something so beautiful but painful!!! I cried so much while reading it. Kind of shattered my soul, actually. I really enjoyed it, thank you so much for the tip to check it out I probably would have never heard of it otherwise. 💛
@@puanmarceline im glad it’s not just me feeling that way
ABBA were unbelievable songwriters. It’s good to see Declan appreciates this.
the livestream he initially sang this on is such a core memory
Tears streaming down my face, what a beautiful song
You kidding me this was all heartfelt and I’m in tears
This is really really beautiful .. beautifully done ... He re-arranged the song in a way that feels very much like the Beatles and as many people pointed out, he even sounds like McCartney ..
Very talented lad .. I'm finally listening to his music thanks to this cover after having known his name for so long .. might even grab those last tickets to his concert :)
Haven't come across anything from Declan since Brazil, which I couldn't stop playing. This is really nice
You should listen his last 2 albums, they're really good
I know what the song is about but it always reminds me of watching my mum pass away due to cancer last year
Takes me back of when I was young and in the comfort of my family - I'm in tears
Wow. Just wow.
This performance moved me, its all music has to be for me. It also reminds me why I love playing the piano. So thank you for the beautiful video
Throwing this in the best covers of all time list
I'm so in love with this cover since i saw him on tik tok 🥺❤🔥 Such a talented musician!
found this cover accidentally today and it inspired me to try to learn it on guitar. couldn't help my tears at the very end and i don't find myself really great at singing. i don't know how he's able to sing this with so much heart without shedding a single tear. love you so much, declan. thank you ❤
Amazing performance of a beautiful song from an incredible band, greetings from Mexico
What a magic moment!
and now we're getting Live version 😘👌
This songs soo good i cant stop listening to it
Very good Performance
Between tears and goosebumps.
Much love from Argentina.
I love this song ,brings back so many memories .
this is beautiful
It maximum satisfies me to see, that such a young man loves an/that ABBA song that much and that he kind of sounds like beloved Harry Nilsson - a three-in-one thing somehow...
Shout out to Brazil. You have a lot of fans here
This is so good!
ABBA ❤❤❤❤
Wow this is so beautiful Declan
Wowwwwwwww I loved that, very soothing 😌😌😌🤩🤩🤩
this renditon have my tears streaming down my face
I started tearing up less than a minute in.... definitely one for the books.
I stumbled upon this right as I was about to start writing a little entry about how lost I've been feeling. In this song, I see a little shadow of being lost and yet knowing where you really have and want to be. Thank you :')
This song is sublime. I wish I had this relationship with my mother, but it's always been hard with her
Finally a full version 😅 so satisfying
He released it on Spotify and CZcams like two months ago as a studio version
This is nice Declannn
It's my little girl's 6th Birthday tomorrow and I have just discovered this! I can relate to every word 😢❤
Wow! So beautiful! ❤❤❤ Love this version
Its just not a song. Its an majestic masterpiece
Amazing singer, amazing song!
This is perfect
I m so excited to see you in Lyon un march !
@@shanks14bm58 ultimate fan française ici aussi ! Mais malheureusement je n'ai pas pu prendre de place pour le concert 🥹 (il ne pouvait pas mettre ses dates en France PLUS en plein dans mes exams... c'est pile les 4 jours ^^')
Je te souhaite de kiffer le concert vraiment ! ^^
This is good good❤
Wonderful song!🎵🎶☮️
OH ❤
Listening to this staring into my newborn daughters eyes 🥺
Wow .
Finally ❤
Ah Declan, eres un tesoro mundial
Angélica María como la extraño 🥺💕
oh my god! finally he released the full version
TE AMO HOY Y SIEMPRE DECLAN MAIZENA
MANO DECLAN MAIZENAKKKKKK
Great song, amazing vocals !
8 seconds in and I knew i had to leave the like
First I heard this, I could have sworn it was Harry Nilsson. Love this cover!
IM SO GLAD I CLICKED
This is the Beatles vibe we didn't know we need
i'll stan Declan for life
Arriba el Perú abajo los caseros
Wooow 🫂❤
beautiful 🤍😊
this version got me 🥹
omg this piano version made me cry at the very first words spoken
💚💚
my heart :(
mine too :(
Blessed.😊
I thought for a while when I heard this cover for the first time, this was a Paul McCartney's version I never knew about.
Thank you 🤍 just thank you.
The best version of the cover to me. It's just... perfect. Absolutely perfect.
(My personnal order :
1- BBC version
2- Original insta live version
3- Streaming platforms version)
(Tho they're all perfect little sugar cubes honestly. It's just for fun purposes)
It goes without saying this man has been heavily influenced by young Beatles material. Tysm to his parents for exposing him to music before his time & nurturing his beautiful gift. I can't wait to see what he does in the future but for now I'm just going to love & listen to this song more than I'm going to admit here. I love this song 🎵 ❤️
U know it's an ABBA song?
@oliverlong4963 Yes, I thought it was in Mama Mia but it's not the song that people are referring to but his vocal style. That's where I'm coming from
his voice reminds me of colin firth, very fitting.
❤
Praying for this for the uk tour
To release an absolute classic that is "Brasil" at 16/17, Mckenna deserves the world!
😩❤
Declan should be bigger than he is
😍👍
I genuinely think this is better than the recording.
hoping you can feature The Rose as a musical guest too
Its like a Paul Mccartney ❤
slipping through my fingers 😔😭😔
If you like this cover check out his new song mulholland’s dinner and wine!! SO GOOD
I’ve always said that I want this song to be my funeral song. ❤😅
ABBA forever ❤
That's beautiful! I'd love to know what kind of electric piano (I don't know how it's called 😊) it is.
Finalmente
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go?
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why? I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I saw some golden retriever jumping into his owner with this song as background
So do I...
When I heard it for the first time I thought it was The Beatles ☺️☺️✨
break my heart why don’t you
Please get some other guys for a band and create a new beatle-esque band that can fill that very big emptiness that your cover really revealed in everybody! Your McCartney-like voice give me some of the biggest chills. Not belting out notes, not doing any crazy stuff. Just delivering me pure emotion.
YES!
😮😮😮
I miss my mom
me too ): 🕊️
🥺🥺🥺
This is tons better than his latest album
You don't know it yet but one day you gotta cover a song by Neil Young...
You’re telling me this isn’t just Paul McCartney reborn??
He should play paul in sam mendez biopic
John Grant Jr . 😊
Declan McCartney
What headphones?
he could play the main character in sex education
Vengo aqui a llorar por los hijos que no tengo
