[Souvenoise]

Can anybody tell me what this song is about? Any political event?

Kann mir jemand sagen, warum der Song geschrieben wurde? Irgendein politisches Ereignis?

[chatterflower26]

@Souvenoise homeless people and how people don't know how lucky they are, that there's people worse off than them....

[KalhProductions]

You have a typo "cries a little pitty". Two t's in pitty.

[ImJustVilde]

I love this song. It is one of the most beautiful songs that ever have been made.

[YOlittleSTARinHEAVEN]

[rosfelrub]

Just wonderful... looking at lyric and music..!!

But really sad at the same time..

I learned this song in England exactly in Cambridge (perfectly sung by Peter & Derek), and it remaind on my mind forever... Great creation.! With much love, from Madrid-Spain...

Memory keep flashing and flipping back its pages of how blissful life was when I was as a student studying there and staying at Leinster Square, Greater part of London. This beautiful song with the lyrics is enough to put me into the state of going down the memory lanes. Thank you sir for posting it. I love this song so much.

[kebuhrussian]

My choir teacher was diagnosed with lung cancer. But wen she listen to this song, she would always think her life wasnt as bad as the ones in the song. In the end, she had surgery on her lungs and it was all good

[smatini]

wie kannst du nur behaupten du wärest einsam.... lass mich dich an die hand nehmen, ich führe dich durch londons strassen, ich zeig dir etwas was deine Meinung ändert... "traumhaft" *******

[fa4229]

Thank u for your effort and time to put forward a beautiful song, which has such tremendous depth and meaning... but just a small correction on the lyrics... It is "and held loosely by his side' and not "hand held loosely by his side".... and what is held loosely by his side is "yesterday's paper". Thank you!

[XxCrisisCoreFreakxX]

@fa4229 thanks for your reply - I'll correct it right away :)

[LejlaaChelsea]

This song makes me cry...

And this is soo true , everything what Ralph says!

Oh God...

I feel bad when I tell my mum that I don't like some T-shirt and I don't even think on someone who can't afford that or something to eat!

Amazing song!

[natalieholroyd]

we used to have a teacher hwom used to play this on his guitar and sang like this enjoyed singing this song the part where its says a hero forgotten and a world that doesn't care really wants to make me cry because its actually true there are people in the world like that who don't notice or care they just judge people
