The boy I love tried to kill himself two days ago . "There's nothing I can say to make you try to feel okay. There's nothing you could do to stop me feelling the way I do. But if the chance should happen that I never see you again, just remember that I'll always love you." is the only thing I've been able to say to him . This song talks so much about the way we feel when we are about to lose somebody . Simply fantastic .
I send this to the man who's been by my side for quite some time now, he doesn't know i don't have much to live, and doesn't understand it much.. but continues to be there for me.. i just need to gather up the courage to tell him, but for now, i'll let the song be a hint..
Such a good song i know it sounds quite grim to say this but id want this song played at my funeral, love Badly Drawn Boy the bloke can play about 20 instruments to find a musician like him near days is nigh on impossible......
yes, i hear the beep. it's supposed to be there. it sounds like a glass or a small piece of percussion. it might even be a harmonic or some other sound from the guitar.
Things that should be said that never get said. Its songs like this that highlight some personal pride in humanity. Love. People we love, mum, dad sister, brother; friend. more than life itself; that is a special achivement. Theres nothing you could ever do to ever let me down, and rember that ill always love you !!! let someone know, if they cant belive in themselves, you will always belive in them!
Fantastic song. I know it's about an attempted suicide in the context of the film, but listen to it and imagine a loved one dying of a terminal illness. My dad died of cancer and this song helps me deal with that by saying the things I know we would have said to each other if he hadn't died so quickly.
That's the sign of great song, something that can be interpreted by the listener as much as its meaning can be intended by the writer.
@bustedwinger I agree. I am glad that this song made you feel better. But having lost my brother (soldier) 6 yrs ago, roommate (suicide) 3 months ago-and best friend (tortured to death by 2 criminals in SC for her money) 13 months ago- I am taking this song for what it is, a promt. The recent deaths are only a start, I want to go forward, but it seems impossible.
@orsetto81utube I don't know what to say, only that I hope you do find your way forward. It's hard enough for me and I've only lost a fraction of what you've lost, and yours in such difficult circumstances. I hope you can stay strong and get through it somehow.
@TheUnstableMonkey i know this is a year after you posted on this video but no it isnt on the watchman soundtrack, that was a song by bob dylan,i think "how times are changing" is the one you might be thinking of, very similar style especially in this song, i think bob dylan is a influence on badly drawn boy, sorry if this is to late just trying to help
@GarethHairyBear dont know how you came across my comment but thanks a lot :) much appreciated i will have a listen forgot about this song tbh glad youve reminded me though :)
Really love this song makes me think of somebody I use to really like but will probably never see her again

@kakpadshiyangel
Actually, there is something there.
but it's nothing significant. Really it's just a high note on a keyboard or something to that effect.
You can tell if you listen hard, but it keeps going after 2:09
