I love his voice in this song, because it shows what love is. it's not smooth or perfect, it's rough and the truth. The son being so good shows that love doesnt have to be perfect like in the movies, or how we picture it. love is the struggle to be with the person you give your life too. It's the day to day effort to try and be with her/him. But we still want love in all its roughness and effort, because in the end it all comes out amazing....
My boyfriend sang this and played guitar to it for my valentines present tonight. It meant way more than a stupid old gift that people usually give on valentines day. I'm so addicted to these lyrics. <3
aaaawwww the ending is so cute! my BF is gonna break up with me and this song is making me twice as sad. but this song is so sweet I don't want to stop listening :')
A good song for all those who think there's a "soul mate" out there waiting for them. Love isn't about winning the lottery, it's about working for a paycheck.
This is the version recorded before the Wide Awake sessions began. This, and the song formerly known as 'One Foot In Front of the Other' and known on the album as 'Land Locked Blues' had already been on the "internet" for about a year.
the guy i like did a cover of this song for me :) i asked if he could sing something for me, his response"can i choose?" me"yea" i get onto my facebook, this song is playing <3
In a weird way i love this song, didnt like it straight away, thought he was boader line of not being able to sing to be hoenst haha.. if that makes sense. But its quite cute actually.
I remembered this song an a rush of memories flowed in my brain bringing up an old feeling to an old person was once the only person i wanted to be with </3
I hate this song...i dated my girlfriend for like a year and she showed me this song and said it described me to her perfectly...then she broke up with me that day. :(
@spintmes Just like my story!!! :( first time i gosh how the memories came back remembering this song and the day he played it to me in the car </3 :"(
For those of you who wonder how such terrible singing can be so successful, it's because Bob Dylan came into existence decades ago. Quality does not matter nearly as much as conveying emotion, and Bob Dylan showed that to the world. Now it's possible for musicians like this, musicians who want people to feel their music and not just hear it, to be successful.
I'm not gonna say it's bad cuz I don't wanna insult someone's music choice, I understand we all have our own opinions but.... wtf!? This guy sounds like a dying duck when we "sings". He can't even hit a high note. Shit if he can make money off of this I'll make a CD. Toss me the money ;)
This song is just amazing!!!!! , I used it to propose to my -now- wife ... look for the video "Our Facebook Wedding Proposal / Propuesta de Matrimonio de Facebook "
This is one of my favorite bright eyes songs in the whole universe :)) I sing it to my boyfriend all the time and it makes him smile, and I love his smile, so it makes me happy.. Moral of the story: This song spreads happiness :)
This is one of my favorite bright eyes songs in the whole universe :)) I sing it to my boyfriend all the time and it makes him smile, and I love his smile, so it makes me happy.. Moral of the story: This song spreads happiness :)
One day, I opened my front door, and my boyfriend was standing there with his guitar. As soon as he saw me, he began playing and singing this song for me. I love it(:
I thought i wouldn't like this song when I first started listening to it. I thought it was gonna be dumb and have pathetic lyrics, i thought his voice was to cracky.... but i love it. everything about it. it changed my life. and i dont know why.
"This Is The First Day Of My Life, Im Glad I Didnt Die Before I Met You"
Made me tear up, because my boyfriend struggles with depression and has attempted suicude, but told me that since he met me, he has been happier <3 I love you babe, always <3

@rogie90044 im listening to this song because im in love with a girl... and she doesnt know it and well i hang out with her .... and this song reminds me of us ... i know you dont care im just saying (:
You know, I had to listen to this song about 50 times before I realized that he's a bad singer. He just has such powerful emotion when he's singing this that you can really feel what he's saying because he obviously believes it wholeheartedly. I love it.
this is song is..well i can't really describe it...it's beautiful and awsome, etc...and not just the melody, also the lyrics, especially the lyrics!! =)
helloo.. just uploaded a little cover of this song... can't promise it'll be anything like the original, but please have a quick listen, would be much appreciated!! :) x
Oh my goodness! I love this song! Totally playing this at my wedding... This version of the song is rather raw, the track I have sounds a lot better... But still such a sweet song!
When I first heard this, I thought, "My god, why does this have so many views and videos? It sucks!" Then I listened more, and more, and now, i'm hooked<3
@xxDinosaurgoRAWRxx Same here, i was on pandora and this song played and i thought, "who wold listen to this?" then i played it again, and again, and again, and then i said" who wouldn't enjoy this song"
People care far too much about the vocals, listen to the lyrics. They're amazing. You don't need to be a perfect singer to be an amazing artist. DAYUM B.
@cutiepanda21 that's what makes it so good.....music people care about..no matter what it is. music is filled with too much meaningless waffle these days..
