Paolo Nutini - Tricks of the trade

[NickAnarky]

Does anyone know what on earth he does to the neck (other then stroke it) to make it sound that way at 0:15 ???

[nixynooo]

I know the writing's on the wall: She's leaving on January the 4th for the other side of the world and I don't know how I'll survive, this song gives me hope. "And, Oh, how our glory may fade, babe" x

[adibazli]

makes me weeps.

[63thekey]

defence was week.... the tricks that are used to confuse and hypnotise only work on the most in need of the truth and who may never get the chance as they kill themselves in the confusion

[respectcourage]

nice guitar playing style

[leegee23]

Genius. As for lyrics - go and buy the album and read the lyric booklet, and you'll know as do I.

[leegee23]

I'm hoping and I'm wishing

that this bird won't fly away

We can see life hand in hand,

the green, the blue, the rough, the sand

And in our time and in our land

we'll savour everyday

Oh my Gosh. Exactly what I feel.

[JitneyTV]

Thank You harrismctweed!!! :)

[gabygmty]

Thanks for posting this!! I really love this song!! I think I might like a little more the Vegas version (maybe because I have listened to it more times and I got used to it... it's also a little slower than this one). Anyway great video!!

BTW this is the first time I see Paolo's forehead, he always has hair covering it lol :D

I LOVE PAOLO!! Thanks again :D

[Lauraatje01]

Everytime he keeps surprising me.

From the first time that I heard him I thought he was freaking awesome.

But it looks like he's getting greater and greater! damn .. He just can't bore you ! NEVER..

His whole body speaks..no, his whole body IS the music !

What a guy :) Unbelievable

[Lauraatje01]

BTW this is the first time I see Paolo's "forehead"

And .. do you like it !? :p

[gabygmty]

I like everything about him... he is perfect!

lol :D

[Inaura17]

Thanks Mrs McTweed - This is fast becoming a favourite, I cant wait to get my grubbies on the new album... :)

[CatinPortland]

Thank you harrismctweed and Laurinhabb - It makes the waiting more bearable. The boy and his music has grown into a very special part of so many of our lives. What a talent!!! Cathleen

[OneWorldt]

More of my guess as to what the lyrics may be:

I think he's saying " And you gathered from my pleas to you that I am but a clown."

Also "the green the blue the rough the sand" is what I'm hearing, but "rock" seems to make more sense... I wish we had access to Paolo to clear this up... I guess I can dream... :)

[harrismctweed]

yeah,that's what i hear,too ...

Hoping to get this cleared up as soon as the album is released ;-)

[OneWorldt]

Thanks so much for posting! I didn't know how to capture it... It is my favorite rendition of this song so far. :)

Yes, I also think it starts with: "Was it love or recognition that has healed this mans condition."

Also: "Oh, how our glory may fade, babe."

Then later "I fear only a hero can defeat these demons now." My guess... :)

The sound and the visual together are so overwhelming for me. I love it! :)

[mdobbins]

I just loooooove that voice. :)

[ana61290]

oh cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laurinhabb]

OMG OMG! Thank you! amazing I love it!

[harrismctweed]

You're welcome...I thought it may help you to find out about the lyrics ;-)

I think at the beginning is :

Was it love or recognition....

[laurinhabb]

Thanks! =)
