For example, in the Czech version, sung by the country band Taxmeni, the song continues with an additional, joyful strophe, narrating further events in the grandson's life: the birth of his son and the purchase of a new clock on the same day, to maintain the family tradition. The song was covered and translated many times, versions in other languages may vary. However, the sequel never reached the popularity of the original. In the grandfather's house, the clock was replaced by a wall clock, which the grandson disdains (referring to it as 'that vain, stuck-up thing on the wall'). The grandson laments the fate of the no-longer-functioning grandfather clock вЂ“ it was sold to a junk dealer, who sold its parts for scrap and its case for kindling. Work published a sequel to the song two years after, and again the grandson acts as the narrator. After the grandfather dies, the clock suddenly stops, and never works again. Yet the clock seems to eerily know the good and bad events in the grandfather's life вЂ“ as it rings 24 chimes when the grandfather brings his bride into his house, and near his death it rings an eerie alarm, which the family recognizes to mean that the grandfather is near death and gathers by his bed. The clock is purchased on the morning of the grandfather's birth and works perfectly for 90 years, requiring only that it be wound at the end of each week. The song, told from a grandchild's point of view, is about their grandfather's clock. It was in this Piercebridge hotel that the author encountered a remarkable clock that inspired the song.
