Neil Hannon - Our Mutual Friend (From The Basement)

[lostcause130]

impressive to come out with this when ur pist.... i'd need to be completely sober !!

[jonnivvvvvvvvvvvv]

bello e fantastico.......

[MrMagneticfields]

so cool!the orchestrally backed perfomance is also very cool,but this is better!his inflections are more poignant!stunningly beautiful!

[glepetitcastel]

Divin.......

[smugalemer]

he always has an expression that says, im saying this, but im thinking something else..

like in the end, where his face was '' :/ '' then quickley changed to '' :D '' for the people

[TheDayWeAwake]

i am so in love w/ him

[StephenGBrady]

Fantastic, beautiful, genius. I also love the full orchestra version of this song on the Live at the Palladium DVD.

[brianmeenan2000]

best song ever

[4TheDoctor2]

how can one person dislike this?! Are they clinically insane?!

[thomaskew]

WHERE CAN I GET THE PIANO SCORE FOR THIS????!!!

[MiguelRValle]

In my opinion it's the best song in "Absent friends". Don't you think the best albums in his carrer were made in Setanta? Which are your favourite songs? For me:

1) Something for the weekend

2) Sunrise

3) Gin soaked boy

4) Our mutual friend

[doctorqwerty]

@MiguelRValle My top four would have to be:

1. Something for the Weekend

2. Our Mutual Friend

3. A Lady of a Certain Age

4. A Note to Self

[arraiami]

HE IS SO DIVINE AND BRILLIANT ON THIS PERFORMANCE.SO VULNERABLE.

+ + + + + +

i wish i could play piano...

[dendi182]

pure genius.

[devilboydc]

Overwhelming.

[Rivermanga]

Unreal!

[TirednessKills]

After the full orchestrated version of this brilliant song, you'd never think he could pull this off solo on the piano... but it's an even better version than the full orchestras. Awesome musician.

[EXCELLENTpoo]

I love his sharpshooter mime at the end. Nailed it! Beautiful rendition.

[yhapster]

Like? where's the 'love and adore with whole heart and mind' button?

[qksweird]

it's such a shame he would never come to mexico

[gmnkyrrr]

@qksweird Lo es, y tampoco vendrá a Argentina :(

[FlowersInHisHair]

@qksweird Buy him a plane ticket then!

[BitchGirlStar]

@qksweird Ni a Chile :(

[egambrill83]

That smile at the end just kills me!

[sophiegazelle]

The best one ever...

[heatwaveradio]

*crying into my cornflakes*

neil hannon writes the most beautiful, heart wrenching melodies...

[Japlick]

This is great, but i must say i prefer a bootleg version i've heard with him on acoustic somewhere in ohio i think!

[armazem42]

can anyone transcribe this for the rest of us to viciously MURDER it on piano?

[cosmichippoted]

first chord :Eb + C in left hand and Eb , G , C in the right

Second: F +C in left and F , A, C in right

Third: D + Bb in left D ,F ,Bb and C in right

Fourth: Eb +Bb in left Eb , G + Bb in right

he just varies this the whole way through..

the brigde is G minor mostly

[AliDDJV]

@cosmichippoted Do you have, by any chance, absolute or relative ear ? :)

[MusicGhosts]

@AliDDJV defiantly relative ... perfect pitch to an extent ... i can identify and sing notes after a few seconds of hearing them and visualizing them in my head

[deathii77]

*sobs*

[krysthopher]

wtf is this?

[gmnkyrrr]

tu vieja en tanga y haciendo un tema de the divine comedy en el piano.

[krysthopher]

GENIAL!... Ahora lo escucho, sólo que tarda un huevín en cargar esto, eh... =)

[Calvardeg]

@krysthopher This is awesomness.
