[Gonzoidzz]

tragic,

[joelataxi]

just read the book / i will never complian again

[mickosabian]

Very, very sad.....

[stenwald]

So endearing. My mum too also suffered a stroke the same year as him and it's good to see that both are strong individuals.

[TheMimifur]

Brilliant programme. I loved his music and I keep watching this doc on youtube. It's brilliant.

[yb3000]

Edwyn's such a beautiful, strong and talented soul. Cheers from Poland !!

[allen63b]

An absolute superstar in my eyes and it was great seeing him "rip it up" last sunday in Bristol

[joydivision808]

very moving always loved orange juice so sad watching a really great guy

[antisadism]

Holy shit thats Alex Krapranos.

[jtun3z]

@antisadism love his voice

[sparkyinbath]

Read the book Falling and Laughing. Should be called Falling and Moaning. 300 pages of someone complaining at the NHS. Collins is a cool guy. Shame his wife is such a miserable cow.

[svenpenie]

woah it must be a real struggle for them but he keeps on going really inspirational

[martinrat1968]

REMARKABLE FILM ABOUT A BRAVE COURAGOUS TRULY GIFTED AND

REMARKABLE MAN

[GlasgowSkate]

I love how Al Kapranos(Franz Ferdinand) is doing the voice over!!!

[jocksilver7]

@darling67 ...you're damn right! Just go back to his OJ days, just go back to his early solo albums, and the rest and there y'll find the spark of scottish pop genius. Collins is a master of wit (so precociously evident for the world to see and ignore...). It's the nature of the world that bitter irony of fate strikes brilliant minds like his. But the man his strong hearted and hard-headed as always and it's with great pleasure that we see him recover! Postcard forever! Upwards and onwards!

[telboyofpeckham]

How come only 21,675 have watched this? If we all watched it we might appreciate the spirit of humanity so much more. Life is fragile, treat it as a privilege & with utmost respect , then live it to the full, just as he does.

EDWYN! Looking forward to seeing you live (alive) at the Royal Festival Hall tonight. Rock it out!

[mankydave67]

Touching but encouraging excerpt. I wonder how all this fits in with George Osborne's plans to f*ck up the welfare system. There must be 10,000s of people with similar/different illnesses that need the medical support after strokes and all the other horrible illnesses out there.

[leonericforman]

LOL, it was such a  surprise when alex starts talking.

[woodifer1967]

you have a great woman there edwyn.stay strong!!

[RedSushi76]

his music is just ageless! It's hard to find some music touches my soul - but he really did and does!

[TheMaRHarrison]

I love you Edwyn!

[InspectriceGadget]

i really loved it too ! ;)

[majutek22]

Jesteś koleś na maksa !!! jedną piosenka zmieniłeś moje życie... Jak dla mnie KOZAK !!!

[jdmusic07]

What a great woman to help him through it all. Think about how it must have felt for her when the person she loved doesn't recognize her! yikes...

[SharinganJutsuu]

Alex Kapranos is narrating! <3 Love his voice.

[35sixer]

Wow.. I had no idea he went thru this.. God Bless the Collins family.. I live his work..

[thehomefront]

[corelgott]

[llamajuice9]

[Callie78]

@llamajuice9 thats the only reason why i watched it =p

[slackjawed7475]

What a terribly sad but also terribly uplifting story. A fantastic, immensely creative talent is Edwyn Collins.

[lutheringram]

met him once - a truly nice guy, funny, a bit wise even. good to know you'r e back again!

[chets808]

those old Orange Juice albums (Rip it Up) sound totally fresh today as they did in 82 (ish) ?

[yon8317]

Inspirational! What a brave and gifted man! Thank you.

[Anon060]

you have a lot of courage edwyn :D

everyone's with you =3

[KaitainCPS]

Having heard him on the radio last week I'd say there's been a noticeable improvement in Edwyn's condition since this was recorded. Not a recovery, by any means, but his speech was much more fluid and coherent.

[leisleis]

With inner strength and courage he will make it... all the best Edwyn x

[gunlodge]

Amazing.  What a guy

[issofunky]

6:45-7:12 is a little bit of magic....i just can't describe how deeply that touches me them working together to make a song happen.

[issofunky]

always wondered why I couldn't find any more songs from him.

[jpg080state]

un abrazo collins!!un grandisimo artista!!

[cmomofilm]

What an inspirational and talented man, hes the Pride of Scotland. I think this video is narrated by Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand.

[creativefunnel]

what a strong wonderful person, the vitality of his music resonates all over the world, a true inspiration.

[DANNY200000000000000]

this actually really heartbreaking

[cycloneCJproducts]

very very touching!!! what a strong man! keep working hard, Im thinking about you!!!

[ilikepbnj]

Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand narrated this :)

[Toast960]

I've only recently become a fan of Orange Juice and Edwyn Collins. I had no idea he went through this. He's gained a whole new level of respect from me. Cheers to you Edwyn. Hope you continue to get better.

[lucaindie77]

my hero

[keef71]

amazing docu - one of the great, underrated heroes of the scottish music scene - you either knew of orange juice, postcard records etc. or you knew his 2 big chart hits - no matter, edwyn was always a 'good guy' in an industry full of 'wanks' (ref. 'chewin' the fat')

i love the way, debilitated as he is, he completes grace's sentences, a sign of true love surely

my fiancee died aug05 from an SAH, but while in the ICU, edwyns case gave me hope. it wasn't to be, but here's to you edwyn

rock on!

[wakama12]

Very moving.  Well made documentary - brilliant chap.

[genki2genki]

Seeing this makes you admire him all the more. Canada loves Edwyn.

[drees71]

I've been looking for a while for this to show up! Thank you, such a moving documentary without being sentimental or mawkish, just great.

[9teen9tys]

Thanks for uploading!

[Imropie]

Thanks very much for uploading this. Edwyn is one of my musical heroes from years back.
