[TheFenTiger691]

[roydeckx1]

sad for us del amitri have spilt but justin curry is still recording and playing live gigs would have got his new cd and it's great ( sounds like del amitri ) so good on you justin keep up the great work

[76devl69]

dont respond idiot go listen

[76devl69]

Tip to be honest you have no taste or thought go judge Gong Show oh you also dont know what that was well nowadays no Gong

[76devl69]

hey Tip shut up

[DikTip100]

I think he has an awesome voice,and Personally it is a very good country song, But to be honest I think He kinda Hid his voice until he belted out the 3d chorus. After that I noticed how awesome his voice really is, I think it is about equal to the doc walker.

[sandysailer]

What an amazing song...

[555hugs]

such an underrated band, this is one of their best

[flitts]

awesome.....just brilliant.thanks guys



[kylie330]

y has jeff lynne not got in contact?



[drover44441]

these boys are the coolest band on the planet. not because i am from Glasgow too but because the perform magic without trying. if they had wanted to be they could have been more famous than the Eagles. when you come from a small nation and can do this stuff you have to be great. Slainte!

[81woot]

I miss seeing them live, come back Del Amitri

[chumowski]

Classic...



[mattus701]

No other band can move me as much as Del Amitri

[d0ctormarten]

This is pure class.Long live Justin curry and del amitri.

Writing and performing your own songs is pure gold.

Fuck cheryl cole and her puppet master cowell.This is real music.

stupid sheeple

[Aliwhoops]

I'm 14 and I love this

[Aliwhoops]

I'm 14 and I love this <3

[daviearmit]

awesome song

[101truthhurts]

Time and fads did this band down. I've got all of their albums. They were a stunningly good outfit.

[NathanBara]

Pay VERY VERY close attention. This is a beautiful song. Took me a long time to figure out what this was about. Don't let the point interfere with the musical quality of this song. It took me an age to learn to play this one

[EDOMEX1020]

Y EL VIDEO????

[shroomerspizza]

Good is a relative term . Everyone is different .Bad is Also .The Choice we make is what WE ARE . I choose everyday to listen to music like this and be happy.I never could understand how my Father would listen to the radio and Bitch about the commentator everyday and become angry , instead of listening to comforting music and be happy .

[76devl69]

a tin eared lyric >? Jason shut up twice ! Do you even know what that means? Oh that's right you were probably born in the 90's so shaddupp!

[JasonRadley]

'When you're swimming with your boots on...' a tin-eared lyric which stops this from being a really great song.

[TheUtubeteacher]

@JasonRadley I didn't realise there were rules like that.

[JasonRadley]

@TheUtubeteacher It's an opinion, stupid. Go on, be a devil, try it yourself.

[TheColeMichael]

@JasonRadley This is a really great song. You, on the other hand, are a cynical asshole.

[JasonRadley]

@TheColeMichael Yeah because anyone who musically disagrees with you has to be a)cynical and b)an arsehole. You dumb cunt!

[bs0lth]

I had never realised the significance of this song, I just knew it fitted with the dark place my mind was in, and its strange now thinking back of parallels. It is still one of my all time favourite songs, they just dont make them like this any more.

[exley33]

the pain of this most difficult decision permeates this song...that is why it's great...

[elektromafiabath]

Why can people just never enjoy a beautiful song for what it is?!?!

[chalant1965]

Unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide nothings going to make me break from her side!!! Cause when your driving with the brakes on, when your swimmin with your boots on, it's hard to say you love someone, it's hard to say you don't. It's hard to say you love someone, it's hard to say you don't...

[SlothsOnValium]

@anto1191 Why do you and so many others say the song is about abortion?

[anto1191]

@SlothsOnValium listen to the lyrics i have beenlistening for as long as i can remember if its not about abortion what is is it about ask del amitri what its about and they will tell you its about a couple in difficulties after they have terminated a pregnancy

[anto1191]

@SlothsOnValium listen to the song you will understand if you listen hard enough

[lespauldeluxe1969]

@anto1191 would you have an abortion if you fell pregnant from being raped? Let's say you're a male, would you want your girlfriend or wife to keep a baby that was due to her being raped? Not sure if there are black and white, right and wrong for this subject...

[anto1191]

@lespauldeluxe1969 sorry if my comment is too black and white buts its what i believe i also agree with people being able to make their own minds up i firmly do believe that killing the unborn is wrong and have a great deal of experience in dealing with the aftermath of abortion , if some one is raped and made pregnant it's up to the individual to decide , but what would a visitor to our planet say about a species that has made an industry out of killing the unborn not out of need but for profit

[UnspecifiedCarnage]

@anto1191 I'm coming in late on this argument, but "killing the unborn" is such an oxymoron, you can't "kill" what hasn't been born yet...

[anto1191]

@UnspecifiedCarnage Yes you are very late coming in on this exchange and my mind is made up .

[cheeserockfan]

@UnspecifiedCarnage

To be fair.. born is just the extension of living.

Don't have to be born to be living.

I don't disagree with abortion.. just prepared to see other people's opinions and understand their value.

[apatheticempathy]

Ive been there... such sad hard truth written in the lyrics of this song.

Ive slid through this whole life at half speed, and this song captures the whole feeling of my fake, lazy life. Rip the damn boots off for once.

Great song for a faker !

[adapterman2]

She s got the wheel and I had to deal from now on. Does anybody know the chords for guitar. I think he is using a capo....

Great tune, great band and the fat sound are making me happy. Thanks for that !

[KP11520]

Capo III. Chords are with Capo as nut: C, Amin, F and G. The 1st fret on B string that is on C and Amin gets alternated on and off. You can also do it with the F and G if you use the F Shape on the first and third fret (for the G) after the capo. I hope that helps. It's a BEAUTIFUL tune about a bad situation. Life and.....

[MrMungus1]

@KP11520 I do it with Capo on 1st and it then becomes D Bm G and A the little hammer on riff becomes D and Dmaj7 the Bm just hammer and remove 2nd finger. It's then dead easy and the tones seem right. Just wish my voice was as good as his :)

[MehefinHeulog]

great track

great album

thanks

[youngoneheska]

Thanx very much for putting this on.

[mixineer]

[daschuma74]

[kmdlondon]
