Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - No Bad News

[ashkon52]

When a band like this who otherwise make meticulously crafted sounds manage to present their inception with a striking melody... its a moment to be hold. No Bad News is an example of this moment. Haunting landscape..

[skint0n0minted]

i wouldn't know who this poet was if it wasn't for Dead Mans Shoes.

[subsamadhi]

@skint0n0minted I saw the movie "Julien Donkey-Boy" and he's in that. I didn't even know he was in it until I read about it. I was aware of him and his music before I saw the movie too.

Lovely.

[dariotti]

i discovered this guy's music few days ago... and i found a new mate in life... i'm not alone... once again

[waukschun]

Same way I felt the first time I heard him. There is hope for music after all.

[jakke007]

"Bad news" from the album "the letting-go"

listen to it! and also listen to 'palace brothers' and 'palace'. earlier bands of Mister Will Oldham.

Today was announced he's coming to Brussels......Grrrreat!

What A beautiful Song

[MoverAndQuaker]

hey little bird ... what a wonderful ending

[wonderturtle1000]

sounds like Mr. Billy has listened to a Nike Drake album or too?

influenced much?

[obscurelines]

Seriously? It's lovely but the lyrics are quickly written. It's quite childish. Sometimes we see things as profound because they're beautifully sung but write them down and you don't have much.

[hastertthebastard]

It's too bad that your retarded.

[hastertthebastard]

Sorry, it's too bad that you're retarded.

[musto24]

its like your comment was intended for another song. childish? how is this childish? maybe the lines arent obscure enough for you???

[obscurelines]

It's just not very profound. It's has a lovely melody and it's sung nicely but there really isn't much to it. Go to a lyrics page read it - there just isn't much there. I said childish to be provocative, mostly because the content of subsequent lines are always predicated by the need for a rhyme (or semi-rhyme) - it's quickly written. Don't get me wrong, I love it. But there ain't much there. Thank you for your retarded comment, I possibly am too stupid to see the lyrical genius here.

[sodoesplastic]

Any meaning inherent in a song can be conveyed by more than just words. I agree that BPB's rhymes often sound forced, but he reinforces it with beautiful music.

[rapidrex]

You dipshit...it is a SONG! WTF

[AnusPresley1234]

Quickly written and childish. How would you know how long it took to write?

[amelie1laforce]

a friend said, he would give all his talents if he could just write a song like this - he is a film director

[Anotherartist]

An amazing song, especially its ending hehe. I think for us it's impossible to understand the special lyrics... for a long time oldham lived just for reading books and books and built up his own lyrical, poetic reality.

[mithella]

This is beautiful!

[swanzola]

What was this, made by a child with iMovie? enough already with youtube and 99% pure garbage. Jeeezus, now I will always see horses and propane tanks when I hear this song, and that pretty much sucks. And those damn horses, please people.

[mm4ng]

so, do i hve 2 be drunk to post in this thread? nice vid, but damn, lay off the alcohol ppl.

[curlyfroggy]

Karina Persson, WI, one of the many songs written for you.

[Joeey]
