Badly Drawn Boy - You Were Right

[fmafan43]

I've seen this video so many times and heard this song probably more and it never gets old.

[Lieven29]

The clip reminds me a little of Animal Farm.

[Harryg183]

Yea yea yea

[MrSteevees]

great song , love the lyrics

[LeoCast96]

american pie brought me here

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

I'm turning the lights down low, I'm ready to make my move"

[Harr123]

Married to the Queen eh? BDB would make a fine alternative to Prince Philip lol

[chuckb11]

lol. Did he seriously just compare Kurt Cobain to John Lennon and Frank Sinatra? Nirvana is the most overrated band of all time.. Not that I think they're bad... But come'on.

[rightmoves]

@chuckb11 Yeah! I mean, HOW DARE he express sadness about the passing of fellow musicians he admires! How dare he have his own preferences in music, and the audacity he shows in mentioning it in his own song!!!

[chuckb11]

@rightmoves hey dipshit, I never said he shouldn't have his own preferences or that he can't write about Cobaine's passing. he can write all he wants about an overhyped, untalented piece of shit he wants. That still doesn't change the fact that IT IS A FUCKING STUPID COMPARISON AS HE HAS NOTHING IN COMMON WITH FRANK SINATRA.

[rightmoves]

@chuckb11 Except that he died, and it was sad. Which is really all he is pointing out in this song, if you know, you listened to it...

[CBeautrelet]

I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died

And the night Jeff Buckley died

And the night Kurt Cobain died

And the night John Lennon died

I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone

And that was a lot of nights

And that was a lot of lives

he's so right....

[grahammoffat7]

Great song

[StyleArzT]

listen again and again !!!



[setmindinmotion]

@flushnex. nooo? just

[setmindinmotion]

"I'm turning Gaga down, I'm calling it my best move......"

[flushnex]

@setmindinmotion It's Madonna

[centurygothic1234]

Very underated band. Fabulous.

[kezmcg]

just bang on

[ImIncapable]

Music 10 years ago is ALOT better then the shit today.. It all sounds the same.. Such a shame.. But awesome song :D

[forky401]

just about perfect I reckon



[nirvananwa]

As odd as it seems this is about Kurt Cobain...

[Theechosen1from1993]

@nirvananwa

how did you figure that out? or if not then where did you hear it?

[CANADA5UCKS]

@nirvananwa shut up

[PivotMakeranimations]

@nirvananwa not really, he just said kurt cobain, its not about him...

[77stevek]

i was busy finding answers while you got on real life - sou

nds familiar

[giantgreenbuddy]

this song isnt that good

[BohemianAsh]

@giantgreenbuddy - Your face isn't that good

[giantgreenbuddy]

@BohemianAsh ..that's not what your mom told me

[BohemianAsh]

@giantgreenbuddy - Mum jokes? Please, hang yourself for the rest of mankind now. You're as ancient as your shitty sense of humour.

[giantgreenbuddy]

@BohemianAsh lol simmer down ..ur taking me too seriously

everythings gonna b ok

[fmafan43]

@giantgreenbuddy Why would you listen to a song and then waste your own time commenting if you didn't like it? I hope you genuinely didn't like it and that you weren't just trying to be different. I hate that attitude.

[jaboodi]

I'm trying to figure out my favourite lyric in this song but I can't, it's all so good.

[buddyjesus1000]

i got on with real life and it got me nowhere

[fmafan43]

And this was a lesson learned

I'm happy to be your fool

And get you tickets to what you need

Why was this part left out?

[EdwardPlatt]

@fmafan43 The part with the whisteling is missing too. Maybe it's the single version? Sometimes the record companies don't want to go much above four minutes fearing lack of airplay, not that this song got any (sadly).

[fmafan43]

@EdwardPlatt yeah, I wish they played stuff like this on the radio.

[jcbiscuitsniece]

@EdwardPlatt ah it did get airplay to be fair, a lot of it. (back when it was released)

[EdwardPlatt]

@jcbiscuitsniece College radio doesn't count.

[chungadaddy]

wow... My guitar player is right: "you cannot invent new chords".. However, just listen to George Duke's "I love you more" and perhaps the remastering in "Digital LOve" of Daft Punk... I do not believe that the similarities in some segments of the song are coincidence. And you can check the dates of the "Discovery" Album (2001) and "Have you fed the fish" (2002). At least Daft Punk credits the samples.

[fecapeluda]

@chungadaddy i just came here to post the same :D

Anyways cool song.

[AndEyesRBloodShot]

Always hoped you'd be my wife

But I never found the time

For the question to arrive

I just disguised it in a song.

And songs are never quite the answer

Just a soundtrack to a life

That is over all too soon.

amazing

[77stevek]

another top tune and video from back in the day love it

[manikin6599]

video doesnt do song justice

[juhaszgellert]

@manikin6599 I listen it two days ago, and after i saw this video the music can't give the feeling. It would be a great video for happy songs. :( but the song is masterpiece!.

[mattlove1]

This might be the best song ever written. And what a great video to go with it

[ickleberry]

wow...good song!

[comeonfuckingcunt]

BEAUTIFUL!

I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died

And the night Jeff Buckley died

And the night Kurt Cobain died

And the night John Lennon died

I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone

And that was a lot of nights

And that was a lot of lives

Who lost the tickets to what they need?

[eddietheturdburglar]

@comeonfuckingcunt YOU FUCKING SAD KNOBJOCKEY SHITCUNT

[comeonfuckingcunt]

@eddietheturdburglar EH!??

Why so angry? What the fuck is your problem??

[balzingmacs]

Good song and nice vocals. Only if the instrumentals were better, than the song would have been a real classic.

I rate it 3 stars.

[BackingTracks6661]

I remember doing nothing when Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon, and the other people who died in the summer of '09.

[scidriver]

I remeber doing nothing the night Layne stalley died.

[kezmcg]

wonderfully written song, this guy has a happy knack of doing that.

[josemorrisinio]

This has become one of my favourite songs, amazing lyrics, amazing feel...it makes me feel so happy and so sad at the same time. Brilliant song.

[doombuggy84]

this song actually introduced me to jeff buckley

and i couldnt be more thankful

[finalfantsy9]

@doombuggy84 SAME Jeff Buckley is just so....undescribable...I think you know what I mean... Jeff Buckley is art. Total man crush.

[TheYogiBunnie]

@doombuggy84 Jeff Buckley introduced me to this song.

[djdrumming]

is the best song

[thetoy3]

Brilliant song. It's so life affirming whilst also being quite depressing. Beautiful.

[russ7510]

i havn't heard this song for years i forgot how great this tune was

[89cheapmonday]

honestly though, i remember doin nowt the night stephen gately died!

[matsoupitsouni]

perfect perfect perfect!!!

[omarqure]

Haha is this the original video? Really good song beautiful lyrics

[Stelsailor]

obviously dumbass,a normal person is not able to make efects like these.

[derek27years]

There is an artist Jeremy Messersmith that blatantly ripped this song off seriously. Listen to his song Novocain.

[JAMIEGRANTHAM32]

i know the drummer dave verner he knows my uncles band well and he's taught me a few things on drums :D

[GREENHOFFS]

I love this song

[floozyinthejacuzzi]

Off one of my fave albums ever!

[Prettycrap]

I watched this the night Michael Jackson died.

[shankpool]

genius, can't understand why he's not world-famous ??????????

[Stelsailor]

i know,hes a fuckin genious hippie,hes not famous cus he dotn make comerical shit,thats why

[RKNij25]

Great song, great voice, great text (I'm turning Madonna down!)

[HeroSerp9]

this is suppose to be about kurt cobain singer of nirvana's death

[Stellsailor]

this hippie is a fuckin genious

[marquisdemcbride]

They always play this song on ASDA FM. I assumed it was a song from the 60s until I discovered it was by BDB.

[89cheapmonday]

asda fm, jesus. what's the world coming too.

[marquisdemcbride]

To be fair I found it hard to hear the lyrics so I didn't realise.

[Yulietab]

Acabo de darme cuenta de que todas esas canciones que tanto me gustaba escuchar en el radio y que no sabia de quién eran, pertenecen a BDB!!!!!!! Increible sorpresa =) Qué contenta estoy....

[cystiq]

One of the most under-rated singer songwriters of the modern era.

Songs in which we can listen to, and associate with.

[77stevek]

im turning maddonna down

[fredth3cat]

this sounds like a belle & sebastian song

[SamFisher147]

O.O trippy...

[bigra84]

I have heard this song a lot since it came out and it has never lost it's immediacy. I don't I'll ever grow tired of it.

[RKNij25]

Songs like this make me want to hug the first person I see.

[saraj12]

this tune is killer.

[Brougham1984]

Artists like him annoy me. How can he be so good man, and get so little accolade.

pure genius

[MrMonkeytrumpets]

Haven't this in a while. Forgot how good his stuff is. 'Im turning Madonna down, and calling it my best move' Guy Ritchie should've been listening. .

[SarcasticGenius]

Fab song.

[shnibbles6]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[kathchick7]

I love this song soo much

[christianperez2008]

esta bien chido

[sweetiecandykim]

Sounds just like 'something to talk about'

[fartarse1]

And the night Princess Di died

[danthebrit]

the song was making reffrence of famous singers who had died in the last 20 years so why would it mention P.D. in it

[fartarse1]

And the night Jade Goody died, then

[danthebrit]

she was not a famous singer and this song was written longer than a few weeks ago and dont think BDB has a crystal ball! so that one does not count as well

[scarey2k7]

She died in the least dignified way possible! I mean, she practically sold her death to the media! I dont see why she was so loved either. What did she ever do? Go on big brother, go on celebrity big brother and go on an indian version of big brother. Thats it!

[cfdalpd]

se parece al video de oasis alla around the wordl

[ReksaR]

This song has something big in it. Something that touches people all over the world. A masterpiece.

[harryhillys]

Best song by BDB. The album this came from was a disappointment though.

[timtimtimtim83]

wow really? i LOVE this album!!!

[Antici22]

cool!!

[PANkaporHRTO]

nice song.....american pie forewa

[cazatron88]

This song is amazing.

Loved it ever since it was released.

Thanks for adding it.

xx

[Geraldon1]

amazing

[podgeeee]

iv been looking for this song for bloody years. Im after coming across it by fluke and i cant believe it. This is an amazing song. Truly amazing

[xjaycazx]

I'm turning Madonna down, and calling it my best move.

Dammit, I used to feel like that!

[BelleOceans]

love love love this song!

[z4172]

how drugged up was the guy who made the song video, still a great song

[VelvetGirl92]

Damon Gough, he rocks

[markhallam28]

This guy is hit and miss, I love a few of his songs, like, I could listen to them over and again but other songs well, I think they're just there to fill gaps in the albums and sound like it

[05097576]

i miet this guy when i was 12 and known his since... pure talent.

Says things how it is! =D BRILLIANT.

[poopoorodriguez]

jeff buckley was the greatest singer since nick drake. who's next? no one it seems

[colorbarrs]

COMPLETELY agree

[DannyP255]

Elliott Smith was, but then he died.

[jordamen]

I just dont like Jeff Buckley´s moaning falsetto, but.. this is a nice song though.

[royal24]

and the night Kurt Cobain died

and the night John Lennon died

[garymilli]

sometimes its hard to love someone until the day theyre gone !

[bomber610]

unusual enough for you Auto?

[fkthsh]

I didn't really like this album for some reason, I realle love his other stuff tho, 1. hour of bewilderbeast, 2. About a boy, 3. Born in the UK, 4. one plus one is one, 5. have you fed the fish. I ussualy switch the order of the last three depending on my mood.

[saraj12]

Turning Madonna down and calling it my best move - genious.

[ollicompollimaster]

wawaweewa!I've got that album!

[cheshirespider]

Fantastic song - fantastic video. Geniusness!!

[ALICEtheMONSTER]

Jeff Buckley MMM<3

[nemajic]

"synical"

[purplecube]

"cynical" lolz.

[ollythemagicbum]

it is pretty simple yes, it is purely sinical thinking, as it leads on from a 'misery' filled few lines, he is most likely saying, 'does everyone else think the world is as dull as i, or is it just me?'

[ollythemagicbum]

Ignore the last one

it is pretty simple yes, it is purely sinical thinking, as it leads on from a 'misery' filled few lines, he is most likely saying, 'does everyone else think the world is just dull, or is it just me?'

[patmuck]

hey rachieroo,feck! means what u want it to mean!i mean really! website for explanation,wow! feck! u serious? surely not do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone? tis self explanatory do they? look the same? to everyone? thats it do they? are u serious? or Jeremy Beadle? feck! love the Escher sequence of relativity in this vid though,and what a class song!!

[nemajic]

what a tuuuuuuune :)

[rachieroo7]

what is the "colours of the rainbow reference"? what is a good web site for the explanation of lyrics?

[daniel625]

i think its trying to say that everyone has a different perspective on things. I might think that cheese is horrible, and someone might love cheese!!!

[iCthulhutl]

This IS MY SONG.

BDB wrote it becouse of me!!!

[kaskaskia17]

does anyone have the song epitaph on here

[wiggso]

one of my fav BDB songs, one of the best songwriters of his generation

[onaoasis]

wow good, one good song , nice  . i didnt think they had it in em'

[zico77ch]

i too stayed up to watch the news with everyone :)

[ohnoudidnnt]

good song by under rated artist

[scotter101]

great tune

[biggerbigd]

Love the song and love the Jeff Buckley reference. If you never heard Jeff, do yourself a favor and look him up.

[bubble992]

same, th refernce is th only reason i lookd up this song. Wish id discovered buckley wen he was alive, gr8 man

[AngelWest]

"Do the colors of the rainbow look the same to everyone?"

[AngelWest]

"Songs are never quite the answer, just a soundtrack to a life..." Wow

"I was busy finding answers while you got on with real life..."

"I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died, and on the night Curt Kobain died, and the night John Lennon died... who lost a ticket to what they need."

[contourman]

I don't like this one of his for some reason.

[jeffjeff22]

Anyone got Disillusion????....I'm sure it's the one where he is the taxi 'driver' in New York...loved it....got the T-shirt too!! Bit big for me, but the locals in Thailand loved it....although the constant cries of 'taxi' do begin to get on your tits after a while....to be expected though I suppose!

[pottymouse]

Does anyone have everybody's stalking??

[ViolinistAthlete]

A M A Z I N G! I absolutely LOVE this song!

[chippachris]

I'll get you tickets to what you need.

[jteglund]

Thank you for this one.

[junlopez2]

i've been looking for this song a long time ago and found it by accident... yay!! Awesome video!!

[annama]

it's a brilliant song. i found it by accident.

[n0th]

I love this one!
