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.

So glad he released this, it’s so comforting.

As some people on TikTok have pointed out, there’s something very McCartney about this cover.

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.

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

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 ❤

Takes me back of when I was young and in the comfort of my family - I'm in tears

Between tears and goosebumps. Much love from Argentina.

Amazing performance of a beautiful song from an incredible band, greetings from Mexico

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...

Wow. Just wow.

I'm so in love with this cover since i saw him on tik tok 🥺❤‍🔥 Such a talented musician!

Throwing this in the best covers of all time list

I know what the song is about but it always reminds me of watching my mum pass away due to cancer last year

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

Very good Performance

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 :')

What a magic moment!

Finally a full version 😅 so satisfying

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

This is so good!

I love this song ,brings back so many memories .

IM SO GLAD I CLICKED

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)

beautiful 🤍😊

💚💚

Blessed.😊

8 seconds in and I knew i had to leave the like

my heart :(

Wooow 🫂❤

First I heard this, I could have sworn it was Harry Nilsson. Love this cover!

this version got me 🥹

❤

omg this piano version made me cry at the very first words spoken

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 🎵 ❤️

This is the Beatles vibe we didn't know we need

Praying for this for the uk tour

😍👍

😩❤

To release an absolute classic that is "Brasil" at 16/17, Mckenna deserves the world!

Finalmente

Its like a Paul Mccartney ❤

If you like this cover check out his new song mulholland’s dinner and wine!! SO GOOD

his voice reminds me of colin firth, very fitting.

slipping through my fingers 😔😭😔

I’ve always said that I want this song to be my funeral song. ❤😅

hoping you can feature The Rose as a musical guest too

I miss my mom

ABBA forever ❤

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.

That's beautiful! I'd love to know what kind of electric piano (I don't know how it's called 😊) it is.

When I heard it for the first time I thought it was The Beatles ☺️☺️✨

😮😮😮

I genuinely think this is better than the recording.

🥺🥺🥺

break my heart why don’t you

I saw some golden retriever jumping into his owner with this song as background

Declan should be bigger than he is

This is tons better than his latest album

John Grant Jr . 😊

You’re telling me this isn’t just Paul McCartney reborn??

Declan McCartney

What headphones?

he could play the main character in sex education

He should play paul in sam mendez biopic

ON REPEAT!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BEACH OUT 2/9/24 PREORDER NOW

You don't know it yet but one day you gotta cover a song by Neil Young...

Vengo aqui a llorar por los hijos que no tengo

we need Paul McCartney singing this song

Damn I actually prefer this one over the guitar

Sounds like the Beatles kinda
