[shaneshaneist]

@holeyhan Why would you want to miss the explanation? It's nice to know what the song is actually about.

[holeyhan]

@shaneshaneist that was for me really heard the explanation about a hundred times

[caolanoh1]

Excellent song and version

[mikeyghan]

Bell X 1 please don't ever blow up and loose your roots. I lived in Smithfield in Arran Quay, if only I knew.

[bill11097]

@AlphaSpartanOmega good luck xx (ran out of space in the last comment) I hope all goes well for you

[bill11097]

@AlphaSpartanOmega You mustn't ever give up ever. People haven't treated you right but one day you'll find the perfect person, and cause of all the shit you've been through you'll value it so much more than if you haven't. I've been cheated on before so i know how you feel, sometimes it's cause the person makes a mistake or is just an ass who doesn't understand the workings of emotions, my guy made a mistake and i forgave him it took a long time and alot of tears, but maybe it'll all be worth it

[Pdunnoable]

!!!get a life!!!

[SuperJohnO87]

magic



[Naturespixel]

<3

[frankykid]

i love you so deeply krissy may, im hurting so badly im sorry i couldnt change and shine for you

[Pdunnoable]

He's just copying Glen Hansard with his intro!!

[alk3ie]

@Pdunnoable yes, as glan hansard invented the art of introducing/explaining a song...

[Dano94910]

@alk3ie *glen

and hes being a dickhead and suggesting that hes copying the song falling slowly

[foxstumblesnorth]

@Pdunnoable "Rocky Took a Lover" was written and recorded in 2005, and "Falling Slowly" was written and recorded in 2006. It would be pretty difficult for Bell X1 to copy a song that didn't exist at the time. And Glen would roll his eyes at you if he ever read your comment. He, unlike you, has class.

"Better to keep your mouth closed and have people assume you are an idiot than open your mouth and prove them right."

[lfbyrnecarnisle]

this and lamposts are my favourite songs off the album. Bell X1 are a special band.....

[herbo102]

I love the intro of what the song is about at the start.

[stellayaa]

[maggiezuhlove]

stfu about all this genre shiz. I agree with @trollfinger there is no such thing as bad music it all depends on taste and as we all effin know everyone has different taste. So shut up stop being so bias and enjoy this beautiful song<3!

[olympicjip]

@maggiezuhlove i think this is a god song, but u cannot say there is no such thing as bad music, there is a such thing as bad music, your wrong.

[deadendemily]

tugs at my heartstrings i wanna have him sing that to me, so beautiful

[DjDozzyy]

Makes me want to cry <3 love love LOVE.

[meiseymac]

I love art when it is described to me, when the person who created the art explains what it meant to them and this does all of that so it is more than art. This song is poetry., it is also literature. I hope it is as loved by you as it is loved by me and the people I have introduced to it. Long live real acoustic lyrical music.

[Dekellier]

Just a great observation on 2 live in music,could be anyone anywhere

[hillcrest1983]

This song is very soothing for my hungover head today...Thanking you Bell X1!!

[sloucifer]

it is the story behind this and all of they're songs that set them apart from everyone else!

I can't stop listening to this song - almost everytime I log on - it gets played - Very rare can any band do that for anyone.

[richardwilson1234]

beautiful.....that's all it is

[Brendje79]

Saw you 2 times in fucking Amsterdam, just great, I'll book Bellx1 @ my wedding!!!!

[Fegzy]

I wanna shine in the eye of Orion...

what a great first line. love this tune!

[Watdafuke]

Lovely song - these boys are a hidden gem.

[ewanbyrne]

i like the story :)

[keysersoze206]

great song

i dont believe in any old jesus

if there was a god ,

then why is my arse the perfect height for kicking?

great lyric...

[honkafrog]

i have tingles from this song <3

[incanto101]

does anyone have the tab for this???????

[sullyboyev]

luv these guys i just sit at home after school just playing and singing this :D

[MattBattMan]

absolutely awesome singer, awesome musician, awesome songwriter, awesome band...great

[houstonveer]

Pure pop genius. 95% of bands don't even attempt this genre because their gnat sized talents would not allow them to in a million years. Punk, funk, rap, metal and country are pale genres populated almost exclusively by talentless hacks looking for the suckers born every minute. They ought to all go to Eureka, California, and jump in the ocean.

[YELLOWSduckie]

@houstonveer aha tbh metal, country are probaly more talent than you think =P and i know there aint much to punk but some of those people have loads of talent same with rap =D

[wiiner128]

@houstonveer I don't mind you liking this song but don't talk shit about types of music you don't have a fucking clue about.

ok?

Thanks

[bill11097]

@wiiner128 yeah thats what i was thinking its a good song but that doesn't mean that no othe music is any good 

[Cussen85]

@houstonveer} Funk and metal... talentless??? C'mon now, be serious!!!

[trollfinger]

@houstonveer

What are these genres you speak of ? there are only two types of music. Good music and bad music.

[FishinWhoLove]

@trollfinger There is no such thing as bad music, its all about taste

[trollfinger]

@FishinWhoLove

Have you seen Jedward ?

[theluckyhustler91]

@houstonveer funk.. talentless??... have you ever heard the song maggott brain?!! think before you speak.. good funk takes a lot of dedication and talent

[feeks84]

@houstonveer amen to that

[chocoholic454]

Breathtaking!!!

I was on holidays this summer in Purto Rico and a band called The Gummey Bears did an amazing cover of this with a guitar and a banjo...it was simply amazing, love the sone ever since!!

[grahamer06]

yea i seen them too very good indeed

[MsAustenfan]

Thanks for Posting,

They are fabulous Looking forward to seeing them in Croke Park in July Yeah!!!!

[richardwilson1234]

Got to be one of the best lines in any love song ever .. I wanna be that star, I want to be that star, so then I can shine for you....
