OK, this song might never be an epic. So what? But it means a lot to those of us who it mean a lot to. To the rest of you......listen elsewhere for songs with meaning to you.
It is one of my favourite songs since many years, my dad loves it as well, he has shown it to me and then I heard it on skins last year, that's why it has become my favourite show of all.
I love the arpeggios on the guitar, the harmony of the voices and the sheer poetry of the lyrics of this song. Pop music doesn't get any better than this.
I have a hard time remembering what day it is sometimes...
So yesterday morning at around 3 A.M. I looked at my clock and smiled then I said, "It's 3 A.M. on a Wednesday morning." I put this album in my CD player and then listened to it about 3 times or so. When the song got done playing for the 3rd time, I looked over at my calendar, and "Oh, shit! It's TUESDAY morning, 3 A.M.!"
For some reason, this song just came to mind...It was played at my Grandma's funeral when I was 10. I'm 20 now - it's strange to think that was 10 years ago! It still makes me cry listening to it, but at the same time it makes me feel very peaceful. It's just very beautiful, I think...
@N2651 Unfortunately, someone has added a dislike. That DOESN'T mean that it's any less EPIC, though! It simply means that someone out there is too ****** to appreciate ART!
@N2651 So now that it has one, it isn't epic anymore?
I dare say the amount of dislikes has nothing to do with the quality of this song. I would still consider it to be absolutely amazing if it had twice as many dislikes as likes.
I think everyone here should just shut up. Listen to the song. I know this is brought up in comments for many videos where the "reason" a person listens to the song is disputed, but really. It's just a song. It's not even politically aimed, it's a song about a guy watching his one night stand sleep next to him, who is sad because he has to run in the morning, because he robbed a liquor store. Really. Skins is a specific show, with a specific audience, and it's FINE if you're not that audience.
its a shame that people only hear of this quality by watching shite that is the programme 'Skins' another show created to form a "majority" again forcing young ppl to think that they have to compete in order to belong and to be accepted else they are ruined... sad,sad,sad at least i have this tune to make it all seem a little less pathetic.
@CT27NX well unfortunately mate having that attitude of "relaxing about the impact on children" is the exact reason children are in such a shit state hahaha so no im not gonna ignore or as you say relax because its my responsibility to be a decent role-model.. people like you should man-up and learn not to quit so easily.
@CT27NX mate.... ummm.. whatever... yea kids are kids.. but did you know there's been a 68% increase in arthiritus in children aged 6-10 hmmmmm i wonder why that is... oh yea too many kids spending too much time on computers because they have parents like you saying shit like "there aint no solution", "kids are kids" basically you attitude is just "oh well its too much hassle for me, just give up"... also well done for making your point look stupid... who cussed 1st??
@CT27NX nah man dont start trying to runaway, you gave your opinion on my comment UNINVITED so now im gonna pay you back.... now that its my turn to reply you tell me to stop - not at all!!!.. look at the end of the day you have your opinion and i have mine... you should leave it at that... but i will say that at least i didnt sink as low as to swear at someone for nothing.. it shows even though i disagree, i have a little amount of respect for you... peace!!
@hbcht dude you are so full of shit... "trying to understand different points of view"... hmmmm so based on that comments whats your problem with what i said?? exactly!! you preach equality until someone doesnt agree with your point of view... next thing your starting arguments and contradicting yourself along the way.. i can accept wank shows like skins, but can you accept i dont like them???????? if so then what the fuck are you doing??
@hbcht so your allowed to have your opinion and say what you want.. but im not allowed to have my opinion?? all i'll say is this unlike you i have no problem with you and i wont have a problem even if you say "i love skins" but just because iv said its shit - fucking deal with it man, your gonna meet plenty of people who dont like that show, what are you gonna do then? fight everyone who thinks its wank?? plus you cant actually do nething to me, so whats the point you having a problem with me?
@DodgyJusByName when u were exchanging comments with CT27NX you were talking about respect and now you're innsulting and not showing respect at all, oh, and you say "... preach equality until someone doesnt agree with your point of view..." about hbcht... but that's more or less what you do. So please be polite when you post comments here and enjoy the song.
@Aqualung1989 not at all, think about where im coming from, i put a comment on here just having my opinion, then some ass says he's got a problem with me because i think its crap... but yea i suppose im 100% wrong.. you better go preach to "nellster66" as well he agreed with me. oh yea by the way.. why should i show respect to someone who swears at me? i didnt tell him to and i did enjoy the song until it lost its identity to a t.v show. im looked-down upon because im not a fan.. c'mon thats bad
@DodgyJusByName well yous tarted saying Skins is "shite". I personally have never watched the show, although I think I'd probably not like it. However, with that comment you may offend some people. You want to give your opinion? That's perfect, but if you want people to respect you, you should also be respectful.
@Aqualung1989 yea i said its shite.. so what?? i see comments everywhere on youtube of people saying things that i like are shit, but i dont engage them in an argument, thats when i keep my opinion to myself, plus comments on here should be taken with a pinch of salt, it could've remained respectful but he decided to swear 1st, if you check my comments it reads.. "look at the end of the day you have your opinion and i have mine... you should leave it at that" then im an asshole, whateva im out
@DodgyJusByName I was gonna give you shit for posting the same thing on another video but it was my playlist repeating so I'm the dumbass. Don't know what Skins is, and judging by your comment that's a good thing.
@HuntingForHumans ok, not sure if your having a dig, but skins is a t.v show shown here in the UK, a vast majority like it, but its because its the "norm" over here to say you like something just to be accepted into the 'in-crowd', worship celebrities and idolise them instead forming there own opinions from experiences and scenario's etc the annoying thing is because i dont follow the whole reality t.v and fashion stuff etc im looked upon as a dick!! its a shame originality has disappeared here.
I love this vid cause it provides me a mono version :D

@DodgyJusByName a ver coño
1. i don't have kids, but clearly if i had i wouldn't let them be in front of the pc all day - that's just bad parenting
2. the majority of cases of arthritis are either from disease/infection or from wear and tear (too much exercise!)
3. a statistic saying 68% increase means nothing if i have no initial or end value - that might just mean an increase from 3 to 5 kids per annum!

accepting everyone no matter who or what they are or they come from.
trying to understand different points of view.
and therefore NOT competing to belong.
