I had this on a demo cd 10 years ago when I was 8 or something which I really liked, and it just vanished from existence ... thanks to the comet advert I thought "Bloody heck, I know that song", and found it again ^^ great to be able to hear it after all that time !
@mcbrite TOTALLY agree! This is one of the few songs I recommend to people when they're down. It always works for me. And the louder you play it, and also if you play it while outside (in a car etc), the better!
@joydivisionthecure yeh there was on the music channels when this was out years ago... just shots of him busking in london, half way through it cuts to a radio show where a caller phones in saying BDB is busking... ah well... im sure it will resurface in the future
Just been listening to XFM episodes with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington and they play this quite a bit so thought I'd look it up. Great song!
@hyoncake I'm all for artists' songs being in commercials. That whole "selling out" attitude sucks to me...it means more exposure and money for the artist without changing their sound; the company approached them because they liked the song as it was, really a great compliment for the artist. I don't think alot of people think about it, but alot of creativity goes into commercials, so that's respect from one creative person to another.
I'm amazed that so I've found so many people that also love this track! I saw the busking video about 3 years ago. I fell in love with it that first time. If anybody knows where to get that video please let me know. Sweet
I equal fodder but i believe that the problem is much more serious ours fuking consumption, in all forms, is the one that is burying geniuses every day we are the badest thing! this society run too much...
He does a great live version of this song were he comes down into the audience to sing it. I'll phone Damon and get permission to get some live shows on You Tube.
This tune is certainly one of the greatest I have heard today. Its words really touch those strings of wanting things to get better and we can have that HOPE. Thanks For recording such a beautiful piece.
@Jigglytuffy uts pretty sik! has a nice good sound to it right? 1st time i heard this i was wrking for verizon and it was playin on the radio while i was opening the store, and i liked ever since then
i understand exactly what you are saying...i feel that way about a lot of songs that make me cry and are not sad...music is a language though that speaks for it self and says something that words can not...i think thats the part that makes us cry sometimes...peace to you ...
There should be an advert for Comet before this video so we can hear the song twice.

his voice is amazing....
if i ever saw him, i'd probably ask him if he's hiding any crack in his hat and ask him if i could have some.
