  • Amy's lyrics are so interesting. She seems to look at things from a very different perspective than most do. My only beaf with song, though.. it really needs to be sped up a bit. The slow tempo kinda weighs it down when it could really rock. Regardless, I love it.

    Come to America, Amy!

  • these lyrics are amazing!

  • She is an INTP for sure

  • @Moatw001 I am too.. must be why I like her music, lol.

  • 18 people must be wags and don't like this song 

  • briiliant!! x

  • i was reading about her on the Wikipedia and i find it quite amusing that she is engaged to footballer lol

  • Does anyone recon giggsys wife is listening to this at the moment?

  • hey dont forget amy is the talented 1 of the pair she'll earn more than him

  • I love the way she says Marilyn Monroe <3

  • Gosh ! The beginning heards like some song of Within temptation or Nightwish. Strange !

  • That Scottish accent just does it for me.

  • I don't understand how people can dislike amy macdonald... shes beautiful, and amazing songwriter and singer... plain amazing

  • This song has always made so much sense to me. I've always felt like I was born in the wrong time and that a lot of things that we feel are 'important' nowdays are just nonsense.

  • Amy you are what I believe to be a true musician and I hope your magic carrys to all that believe in your music! xx

  • this is a great song and amy is a great, talented and beautiful singer! :]]

  • Why are there even a dislike button for art? Amy are a deep breath of fresh air, but still people keep listening to this pop song that no one can remember next month. I have´nt been listening to Macdonald for a long time, but I know that she are our only hope to bring back the folksingers with personality in their voices. Rihanna will still be there but we gotta fight to show the kids of today the real music. Rule the world Amy, and hopefully we will follow you.

  • Where have you been all my life ? x

  • wowwwwwwwwwwwwww pure class!!!

  • Who did she get married to again? lol

  • Oh Mr James Dean, he don't belong to anything

    Oh he left before they could get him

    With their ways, their wicked ways...

    RIP James Dean and Marilyn Monroe

  • I think she is singing about Cheryl Cole - a talentless individual who leverages off other peoples fame. The references to James Dean, Ginger Rogers, Fred and Marilyn are contrasting the days when real talent found its way to the top by being the best in their chosen field. Cheryl Cole is still making millions without being able to sing. Keep on writing Amy and keep on rockin - you are a breath of fresh air in an industry filled with very mediocre people who are just relying on publicity.

  • @charlesdargmail Isn't Amy Mc going out with a footballer?

  • @charlesdargmail Isn't Amy Mc going out with a footballer?

  • @Soulinisolation1 Yes she is, I actually think she sings about victoria beckham.... ;D

  • @Soulinisolation1 Yes but she isn't famous for being a 'footballer's wife' but for her music, unlike those girls 'from the show' (reaility tv) and footballer's wives.

  • @Soulinisolation1 Yes but i don't think you get the point of the song. Amy didn't become famous because she dated a footballer and she started dating him when she was already famous so.

    Amy became famous for her talent not because she's dating a footballer.

    And besides the footballer she's dating isn't really famous like DB or w/e.

  • @Sup3rMegaNerd Yeah I did get the point of the song, and she makes a good point about vacuous 'WAG' culture which the media are obsessed with. Still a bit ironic though, although I don't think dating a little-known SPL player makes you a WAG really!

  • @Soulinisolation1 She readily admits that the irony isn't wasted. But the song was written a long time before they met. The song is a diatribe about the culture of young girls whose sole ambition it is to be a WAG, then continue to do nothing more than flaunt their hollow lifestyle for money.

  • @mikenco

    You`d better join than isolate. Smile.

  • @charlesdargmail

    good point. But I think that it's not abou Cheryl (because she had been a singer long before she married her ex; she can't sing that's true but we all know that's not the reason she's famous). I think she's singing about Victoria Beckham. But we'll never know. xD

  • @slanis You could be right! But the line in the song - the girl from the show yes the one we all know - I thought that would probably be Cheryl - I dont recall VB being famous in a show but I may have missed it, and I dont think VB told stories about DB. Would love to meet Amy just to ask this one! Meanwhile I enjoy listening to it tremendously.

  • @charlesdargmail I think when she says "girl from that show" she's maybe talking about ppl who get famous by being on a reality tv (like BigBrother, Hills etc.). And I found this, "The irony hasn’t been lost on me," she says, grinning. "But it doesn’t change the way I feel about young women whose sole ambition is be a football Wag. My main gripe is that a lot of these girls don’t actually do anything, but just want to flaunt their lifestyle.''

    Either way the song rocks ^^

    Yeah me too.

  • love her, and glad to say i am scottish as well...

    viva l'eccose!

  • nádherná skladba

  • nádherná pisnička

  • love u amy! =)

  • 'i dont think so' eitha babe....ya class. nuff love to ya xxxx

  • Its funny watching how heated people get on music videos/songs on youtube. On one hand critics can go over the top in their 'critique' , make baseless statements and crude comments, on the other hand fans can get a somewhat stubborn view that they and they alone are allowed to comment; they remind me a bit of hardline religionists who cannot tolerate criticism of their religion. Personally speaking I like Amy McDonald's music but I think people that don't, have every right to comment;

  • Great song!

  • Lmfao at the retards on the comment "She's married to a footballer irony much?"

    And so on.

    Are you fucking kidding me, do you not hear the lyrics? It doesn't say that being married to a footballer is bad but marrying them just because you want to get famous off it is bad.

    Did amy get famous off the footballer? No nobody even knows who he is and she met him after she got famous.

    Listen to the lyrics before you create retard comments i mean honestly are you people that stupid?

  • @BladeAndSoul i knew who he was. Im a football fan, get your facts right cheers.

  • seems like the lyrics aren't epic enough for the epic music o.o

  • @Predictions5 my opinion is these are the most epic lyics i ever heard...she is rejecting the Big lie of the music industry...James Dean is the attention seeking famous male...marilyn monroe is the deva star famous female...she realises there is MORE than all this BETTER THAN kinds of people...my opinion

  • @lovetruthpuity Yeah, it just sounds like it would be about something more epic than the music industry though, doesn't it? lol like...wars or something. I dunno, I still love this song though xD

  • With my opinion i don't wanna offend anyone. But I simply believe it is anyones job to blame others. She is both judging other people as well as building her own fame on it... that is not fair. I like the music tough! Don't forget... it is just my opinion

  • @Axialpower freedom of speech dude, good you speak you mind without forcing it on any one :-)

  • Comment removed

  • it's the very best.

    i love it so so much.

    i love her!

  • she's hardly a footballers wife, she's engaged to a retard who's now playing in league 1

  • Comment removed

  • nice and smooth melody...

    I love it. <3

  • a maturity in song writing not seen for decades,joplin eat you heart out.

  • maturity in her songwriting and outlook on life, a brilliant career ahead of her love both her albums, the joplin of today,

  • Amazing i love this song :) i saw amy live and it were amazing! love you amy!!!

  • Very talented writer and singer. Not sure if she is commercial enough to compete with todays studio manipulated pop singers. I certainly hope so as the music world can do with real talent.

  • She married a footballer, says it all. Was this a premonition of her own vacuous lifestyle and music?

  • Comment removed

  • She' got amasong voice!

  • amazing!

  • She's gonna be a footballer's wife, the irony.

    I love this lass though

  • Before you leave this life, there's so much more to see

    I don't believe this is how the world should be...

    ^^

    Don't ever change, Amy MacDonald. =)

  • I dont think so..... Great song :)

  • SHIT,Marilyn wasn't a bitch!

  • This girl is awesome! Interesting and engageing lyrics, smile made of sunshine. It dosen't get much better than this. I really like her voice, could listen over and over again.

  • Her first album was the best, Isn't? Such unique lyrics, more like ballads, and good music. Second one was not THAT good... If you really like her songs, do not thumb, but buy her album, goddamn:P:P

  • she reminds me of silver from 90210

  • GRRREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this song seems to be special to me, i like all of her songs, but this one is a real diamond !

  • love her songs

  • Love The Song :D

    But She Goes Out With A Footballer =S

  • amazing lyrics :)

  • Oh Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire

    Won't you dance for me cos I just don't care

    What's going on today

    I think there's something more, something more

  • this song is just amazing..especiallu the intro blows my mind!

  • I rly dont hear the similarity between this is the life and footballers wife.

    Are people tune deff or something?

    Its very different.

    Love all her music and love her new album its so emotional.

  • @BladeAndSoul

    it's spelled "Deaf".

  • Comment removed

  • love it

  • Overall I like it because lyrics are interesting, but tune is still too similar to the identical melodies of "This is the Life" and "Lets Start a Band."

    I loved This is your Life and thought 'Great! Someone who can sing and write good songs and melodies!" But the more 'new' songs i hear the more I am bored because the melodies, or large swathes of them, are the same!  Lyrics are original but she lacks musical originality.

  • @harryf200 but tune is still too similar to the identical melodies of "This is the Life" and "Lets Start a Band."

    I agree.. but this song rocks!

  • @1maary4 LOL! Yeah, it rocks! :o)

  • Comment removed

  • There is something so epic about this song.

  • That voice is nothing but beautiful... This "belieeeve" at 2:27 equals Goosebumps

  • oh  WOooOW

  • J'ai découvert cette superbe chanson grace à une interview de Calvin Russell realisée par Joe Farmer dans son émission "zap zik" sur france inter.

    Amy et Calvin : vous étes des trés trés GRANDS...

  • it's about England's (not Britain's) obsession with celebrity, which leads to women acting as supposed stars just because of being married to a footballer or someone rich and famous. so they write autobiographies and appear on the first pages of newspapers although they have done nothing noticeworthy.

  • Thnx for information :-)

  • Comment removed

  • her name is amy mcdonald not amy macdonald!!!

  • um, no ... it's amy macdonald.

    and she's scottish, that's usually a hint that it'd be 'mac' instead of 'mc'

  • oh sorry.... i thought her name is mcdonald^^ sry

  • mc stands for mac lol

  • yeah.... i thought she's named mcdonald....sry^^ here in germany we don't knew mac for mc^^

  • I know it and I'm german ;-P

  • Her namy is Amy Macdonald!!!

  • perfect:::

    Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories

    Throughout your life, there's just something unappealing

    It don't catch my eye

    It don't catch my eye

    Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories

    Before you leave this life, there's so much more to see

    I don't believe this is how the world should be

  • Amy é uma estrela que brilha dentro do meu coração azul...

  • I see it as her commenting on life today. Generally. It's very moving.

  • it says about jade goody, "the girl from that show, yes the one we all know"

  • she's not a footballers wife

  • yes but its about her

  • or maybe a footballer's wive that is from a tv show? like cheryl cole maybe...

  • I think the song is about that wife of Mr whatisname, eeh, Backham, that guy. The song is about that woman, I don't know her name, but I dont fucking care. xD

  • I don't think it is only about Mrs Beckham, but about all wives of celebrities who think they are stars just because they are married to rich and famous people.

  • miss beckham had a pop career, i thought she was more talking about rooneys misses.

    the one that we know from the show we all know.. will be jade goodey.. or chantelle?

  • That song is so right. Today there are still very talented stars but there are also many who are annoying...

  • Comment removed

  • AMAZING songs.

  • One of her best songs :)

  • love this song...really makes you think

  • And now, in the row of James Dean, Ginger Rogers and Marilin Monroe you may join Michael Jackson...

  • Yep

    Very underrated

  • nice to know (Y)

  • I think this song is about Cheryl Cole

  • This song is amazing

  • "The river runs deep when the ∈mperor is far away"

  • ten kawałek porusza moją dusze

  • These lyrics are so right, like wannabees and so called celebrities are nothing compared to the vintage real stars :) It almost makes me sick how much people crave fame today from reality shittt.

    It was so much better back then.

  • fantastic mixutre o marylin monroe and james dean, love the song and lyric

  • 她的歌是让人用心去体会的。

  • this a beautiful song .. i like her voice (:

    and she's so beautiful .. aaw

  • Fantastic song - great music. Its a pity when viewing comments you have to read all the driffle as well - embarrassing to be English - grow up!

  • frumos dar ritmul putin trist ...greets from romania :D

  • Oh! Qué hermosa canción! Tremenda cantante!...

    Ehm! Jajaj it's so funny! I'm from Chile, in SouthAmerica, and I speaks almost four lenguages! But as Hellwyr said, people like me just wanna say things in our own lenguage.

    By the way, for her, it's so much better thant we write our ideas in another lenguage than english, 'cause, if she could, she could read that she is going famous in others continents!... :3 see ya!

  • i <3 her

  • I don't care about people writing in languages other than English. I can understand that many prefer to express their ideas and feeling in their mother tongue or maybe they 're utterly unable to do so in English.

    And if they could but don't care to express what they have to say in such a way that everybody undestands them then what they have to say cannot be so important as for me to care about it ^^

  • This song is one of the amazing songs thar I hear!

    Greez from The Netherlands

  • I'm not nitwit, I'm just wondering why they all don't put it in English for Amy or whoever manages that channel to understand:(

  • Amy Macdonald rocks:D I love her music, and wtf is up with all these foreign people!!?? How the hell do they even understand her?-.-

  • there are people who speak/understand more than one single langauge ;-)

  • Yes but shes an scottish singer, so they could at least speak in english or scottish

    :3

  • english is a world language and lots of people have to learn it in school, maybe the likes of you dont understand this.... btw internet is international ...so there so no reason for you to force people to speak english or scotish-gaelig
