Dean made some quirky records but this is one hell of a song.Brilliant

[monkeymonkey165]

My names Lydia and my dad asked to play this then tell me this is what i am named after:D love it 

[Prolinium]

Jeez. I'm latter 40s now.... I was young and in the clouds I guess when I used to play this song and cry my heart out !!....Lost the record many years ago...the title came into my head and I bashed it out on YouTube...and...here it is - guess what ?!?...same crazy response for various reasons....

[chaoticAssualtbuddys]

thanx for posting have a great life

[decbond]

really great,sad song

[AuntieSoul33]

still absolute class.. nothing compares.. :)

[LollyLydia]

omg my names lydia love this song xxxxxxxxxxxx

[824koumari]

This song paints a sad picture of the guy and of Lydia. Their love was not meant to be.

And I always liked the strings arrangement since I first heard it. Brilliant soft, yet powerful love ballad.

[jenny198932]

this song reminds me of a girl called mariane who i knew in 1978 good times

[Germonicus]

He appeared on stage with Half Man Half Biscuit last year.

HMHB did a song called "The Bastard son of Dean Freedman" which he apparently thought was great.

[TheCaliber64]

Y'all still watching ol' Dean in 2011???

[HannahEStorm]

@TheCaliber64 I think some people came to this song for the title

[jrb1802uk]

Wow, so powerful.. absolutely love it

[MusheyBiscuits]

[tinman784]

@MusheyBiscuits and me what ever happened to her brilliant song

[824koumari]

I never knew he was so good looking. + I just loved this, 30 or more years ago. I just never told anyone. It was for the older generation then. Always appreciated his songwriting.

[dangerbarron]

[721RAYT]

Thumbs up to Monkeyclarke for posting this song/video for us all to enjoy. Friedman's music brings me back with laughter and tears to the most sane and insane period of my life. There's not a single Dean Friedman song or album that I don't love. Enjoy this ... I do.

[Waiting4Cain]

Now you know where Robbie Williams got Angels from listen and tell me i'm wrong !

[pdc5552000]

@Waiting4Cain  he got it from some guy in ireland !!!!!!!!

[frenchhouseparty]

You can hear Dean sing this, up-close and personal at his summer 2010 songwriting course in Carcassonne, SW France. Residential four-day holiday with the French House Party - all-inclusive and a private concert thrown in! Begins 30 July. Ring 0044 7900 322791 for details.

[YesHellFrozeOver]

And another thing. This guy writes a song about some girl he would go round and fuck at his convienience, and you think it's GREAT?

Yeah, why not, if you're 19....

God bless you Dean....

[YesHellFrozeOver]

Yeah, brilliant tune, shame my mum used to play it to fucking death when i was younger. That and Leonard Cohen. Music to slash your writs to.

Peace out.

[petercunningham100]

[merlin17784]

[oneniluptwoonedown]

Big Apoligies 'merlin 177784'....I accidently gave you a 'thumbs down for this song...it was meant to be a thumbs up...I was drunk!!....Super song agreed!

[croftonjohn]

One of my favourite Dean Songs. going to see him on 31 oct in Dublin. Check out my 13 year old daughters first attempt at making a video on you tube. Dean and Hannah singing "one day ( a childs prayer)

[gordonyoungg]

[daimin1]

absolute underated!

[cyeber2004]

@daimin1 totally underated!

[lydiababe01]

i love this song because my name is lydia (: x

[westview80]

Hi Lydia, Your parents have great taste! I named my daughter after this song, and gave Dean a picture of her when I saw him after a concert in Cork, Ireland. The Marx Brothers also did a song called Lydia, but my daughter isn't as keen on that one!

[Patsik]

The orchestral "solo" in the middle is the most beautiful of all pop songs ever.

[LOMANDYO]

Any man that drinks the black stuff is a mate of mine

[LOMANDYO]

I have just listen to my D Freedman back date's to the early 70's and found I had a few tears flowing,not many song writer have done that to me. Dean thanks xxcc

[69devil96]

[LOMANDYO]

What can l say ,a great song writer and he can sing them to !!! ,pure magic I have listen to the man since the early 70's and he still sounds fresh.

[tyreburster]

Quality song. A classy tune. The words mean mean nothing to me but it's brilliant nonetheless.

[VampireMotorcycle]

Great song! Great video!

[bigqaraman]

What a great song! Funny how age makes you appreciate the finer things in life - this is one of them. Thanks for posting

[Fangita66]

Dear MonkeyClarke,

Sincere thanks, this hits the mark at the end of a Guinness filled evening. Ta, Nathaniel

[69devil96]

At last someone posts this on youtube, I have it on CD which is now unfortunatley scratched, as someone previously states so underated. Could you also post the Lakeland song if you have it cheers ;)

[2pikeman]

these songs always bring a tear to my eyes as i drift back to the good old days

[LCBiiNiiT]

This song makes me smile

cause my name is lydia :D

[beardiex]

i absolutely adore this song it always makes me wonder where all the years have gone. my wife has just brought tickets to go and see him live can't wait

[dymond9999]

beardiex.

I sincerely hope you and your Wife enjoy Dean,s concert as much as my Wife and I did 10 years ago.

If you can believe my comment below, you both are infor a fabulous night,s entertainment.

[dymond9999]

So very underrated, I had the pleasure of seeing him perform in Glasgow 10 years ago long after his chart success.

But the man played a magnificent set as if he had never been away.

But the best part was that after the concert he came out and did autographs and photo,s the mark of a wonderful performer and a truly wonderful man.

[pdc5552000]

great tune, takes me back a few years

[mudrocker]

so underated......
