  • so glad i found out about this song!

  • I wish it was longer. :)

  • I will be in a long distance relation ship soon. This song means a lot to me.

    I don't want to hold him one last time...

  • I love <3 the kooks :D:D:D:D:D...make me happy

  • hi_ÃnYõÑe_wãñÑá_chat_wÏth_mÊ_Ì­_fëËl_so_löNélY_tÔÐàý...

  • @CutaaaMauraao937

    kein wunder..

  • I know I might get killed by people for saying this, but

    "A-b-c-d-e-f and -g

    Oh that reminds me of when we were free"

    is just the weakest lyrics of all time.

    Or can someone explain to me what nearly a quarter of the alphabet has to mean in here? Maybe I just don't get something here.

    Don't get me wrong, I like the song and the lyrics, but those lines are just poor lyricsism.

  • @go1988 It's refering to the simplicity of the alphabet.  When life was simple, they were free.

  • @acn1191985 Oh, ok. I obviously haven't thought about this interpretation. Thats interesting, thanks for the reply!

  • @go1988 It means the usual rhythm of life. The way days go by, like they were made by somekind of a rule.

  • @go1988 i actually believe it refers to the simplicity of life in earlier years, such as kindergarten, first grade, early school years when we were to recite the alphabet. The sweet naivety of a young child. I'm personally a big fan of those two lines.

  • @Pattydickk Wow, I never thought I'd start such a discussion of the interpretation of those lines. Thanks for you reply and your thoughts. And thanks for giving me the experiance that it is ACTUALLY possible to have a civilized, interessting and intelligent discussion on youtube.

  • @go1988 Listen to the whole sentence before you judge anything

  • my favourite by The Kooks i love it for the same reason most of you guys do, memories...

  • missing the woman in my life i just wish i could be with her again

  • genious

  • THE KOOKS is just perfection. i mean, every song they do. gosh. <love3

  • the beginning of this song gives me chills <3

  • This song is beautiful. I heard this at school and I fell in love with it.

  • "Can I hold you one last time

    To fight the fear that is growing in my mind

    I know I did us both all so wrong

    I know I'm not always all that strong"

    Good lyrics.. I love this song :)

  • there's nothing worst when someone love someone and life does all its best to pull them apart

  • ich liebe liebe liebe liebe liebe dieses verdammt geile lied.

  • What a beautiful song. It makes me think of "Time to grow up and face reality!" and puts me in a time with less worries at the same time. And it's just amazing.

  • i'm obsessed with this song. & means alot to me tbh.

    <3 laaaaaaaaaav it.

  • lovely !!!

  • this song is amazing!

  • Do only I think that lyrics on their 2nd CD r much better than on the 1st one?

  • I'm moving away from my boyfriend, too. I hope it will work,but the song is so beautiful but it makes me sad. We are together for 2 years and still so happy. I always think " Why is destiny so mean? Why is life tearing us apart?" :-(

    Still a great song ,even if it makes me so sad.

  • @monsterlovex3 Moving away isnt destiny, meeting up at a later time to rekindle what you had, now that is destany. i had this girl i was in love with in highschool, and before i could tell her how i felt she moved away. I told myself if i ever saw her again i would tell her, I got my chance and i froze, desteny gave my my chance and i blew it. In life you dont always get second chances but learn from my mistake if you got one.........................ta­ke it.

  • o my gos....

    Love the song!

    Love the oeeeeoeeeee

  • can someone tell me the meaning behind this song? :)

  • bestbestbestx3 gonna learn it on guitar NOW!:):)

  • i think all the songs of the kooks are too short :)

    so beautiful!

  • Its a fucking goooooood song but its to short !

  • love this song <3

  • best song ever.

  • Beautiful [ :

  • I'm living in Munich in less than a month, and my "girlfriend" lives in London, this song means a lot to me, as we both knew we couldn't be together for long, but being together made us happy, so for the short time it worked, it worked really well. This is exactly what I listened to on the train home yesterday afternoon, after I saw her for what is presumably the last time before I move away. I love it. <3

  • for me is the same cause i live in milan and she lives in san francisco..

  • The same story to me too.. just different places and different persons...:-<

  • @britcomfan247 Thats awful to hear, but it made me smile to know you can love someone. when I left for California, America from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. I thought i lost everyone i loved... mate, shes only 200 miles across a little bit of land and a small patch of water. I live 6,000 miles away from the ones I love, you only ever find out how much you love them when you leave, but you never stop loving them.

  • @pissedofftwinky Thanks for the reply mate, Unfortunately it didn't work out between us, but it was an excellent time while it did work out. We saw each other a few times when I was living in Munich, then I moved back to London and it all eventually fell apart. Funny how one last time can make it or break it, isn't it? Peace. X

  • @britcomfan247 wow...it sounds like a great story for a movie^^

  • @britcomfan247 I move away soon too. And the girl I like doesn't want to get attracted to me, because of the fear. Fuck.

  • I'm pretty sure it's oh not all in the first verse

  • "Can I hold you one last time

    To fight the fear that is growing in my mind

    I know I did us both all so wrong

    I know I'm not always all that strong"

    so I broke up with my bf recently and this really reminds me of me and him because i'm feeling like I made a huge mistake.

    it's a great song and it holds so much truth and emotion.

  • i listend to the album many times and never thought this song was exeptionally great.

    but when i saw the kooks live last week, it almost made me cry. dont know why though.

    anyways, now its my favourite kooks song. kind of felt in love with it :) ohhhohhhhohhh

  • I love this song! :]

  • ♥ ♥!

  • I diddnt hold anyone for a long time :( gives me a lonely feeling...

  • its not 'to fight this feeling' its

    to fight the fear that is growing in my mind.  :/

    LOOOL.

  • my ex gave me this song after we broke up, it's so emotional but so true...:(

  • this song i sent to my ex when we were on rough edge's we did finally get back together but a month or two later we finised..sucks but it gets me everytime she got anoother bf now so when i listen to the script breakeven that annoys me also lol
