Bonnie Prince Billy - You can't hurt me now

[apysti]

I was randomly looking for cds in a local store when i found this aww... very nice :)

[Oroboros525]

It's too short, snif...

[stephentube9000]

What a guy! Love this song too.  He's so cool and unique.

I don't understand the Beware hate, I think it's a superb album

[reminouailhac]

Chords are as follows (in tune with his guitar)

(C) Oh, I know everyone knows the trouble (G) I have seen.

That's the (Am) thing about trouble, (G)

You can love (C) everyone as the eyes and ears to be where (G) I have been.

You can (Am) have that heaven here and not wait for (G) up above.

The (C) more I feel my(G)self,

the more (F) alone I am.

Though (C) you can't hurt me (G) now,

I still (Bb) feel (F) love's plan.

Now play :)

@reminouailhac thanks for the notation, it was nice of you. just one more note..he says "God's plan" at the end, which is what i take as an important part of the song's meaning.

[alaiasurfers]

anbody know the chords??

[MeshGearFox]

I hated Beware when it came out but then I started listening to it again this spring and loved it. Go fig.

[ElevenMileRecords]

Will is pure magic. Absolutely brilliant clip.

[scarym0nster]

The whole thing plus two additional tracks can be seen if you search for 'bonnie prince billy you can't hurt me now' using yahoo search and look for the bbc culture show link. :-)

[BlackAndrew]

What a fucking bizarre human being... that perverse little boy smile at the end... jesus I love this man

[darktowersl]

his eyes are emerald green here! they are biuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful!

[szyroki]

This video always brings a smile to my face. Thank you for posting this.

How's things with the full broadcast?

[terrybrass]

B"p"B=God...

[Guinizelli777]

Great!

[wernerslostblues]

love the new album. been a long time fan of wills. this album is new. i love this clip. i this this is the most epic his beard has ever been. i love when he smiles at the end.

[Mntgoatsfan]

So.. where can I see the whole fucking thing?

[mooortje]

wow :)

[jun7per]

hes got a stupid grin at the end because poor me I feel so alone is just a bunch of bull shit and ego.

Will Oldham has lost its magic. Could be the good life and all the money that shadows honesty and inspiration.

[SyrodaBawagi]

You're funny.

[blackguarding]

Oh for fuck's sake... people like you have been saying that same tired old shit for years. He hasn't lost anything, you are just desperate for something to be cynical about.

[higerto11]

people arent in the same mood their entire life you know. meaning at the time of performing here he is in a completely different than when he wrote this song. i think it's stupid to assume things about someone you can't possibly know anyway.

[stevenallan23]

what a cool smile at the end!

[xxkrydxx]

step upon the Louisville scene my friend

[bendebiase]

it seems like he was being shut down at the end, his smile reflects that i think, either way it's the best one minute performance ever!

[molho]

He knew, he ends the song really well. That smile is quite often in Will's face, I think. But i agree it is the best one minute performance ever!

[molho]

And, girls help me here, but Will looks better than ever here, doesn't he?

[homegirrl]

Will always looks good.

[jun7per]

Same old shit Will.

[bendebiase]

he is a messenger of beautiful prose and metaphor, a bringer of truths, you are just a mole

[Bolinas1971]

yap yap

[aelephaent]

0:47 I love the chorus to this song very much.

[polaricecaves]

master

[ravenorama]

last i saw there's three full songs on 'the culture show' bbc website

[alias6]

Hey gw26, thanks for this...

Any success with capture complete song?

[cougarman8]

Yes! This seriously made my day. This is incredible, and I was looking for an acoustic version of this. Does he play the whole thing? Or does he stop there anyway? I'd seriously pay money to have a video of the whole song...

[gw26]

There's an extended repeat of the programme on BBC on Friday, so hopefully the full song will be on, plus an interview I think. I'll try to upload whatever they show. There's three songs up at the BBC website but if you're outside the UK you won't be able to view them unless you can browse via a UK proxy.

[jameslayton]

Glad you put this up. Was just watching it. What a fantastic version of this tune. Looked on iTunes and it's only there in full country glory! This one's much better. Nice one.
