Watched these at the Cardiff City Stadium last year, and to be fair this song sent a shiver down my spine like no other song, they rocked the stadium, and i'll never forget the 4 minutes they played it! Without a doubt their best song!

[nickychappell1]

love the phonics. love this track. doing the valleys proud

[johnc19842010]

Possibly one of the greatest bands ever to come out of nowhere and go everywhere!!!

Kelly Jones and Liam Gallaghers voices define the last 16 years in music!!

Amazing!!!

hi everyone,

I made a song the other day, and then I sketched it, so I came up with a "music video" LOL I'd like you all to check it out and tell me what you think. it's a cartoon with some harsh lyrics. I'd like to get some feedback on that.

[M1tchy0306]

now this is real music

[PeteK147]

During an interview with Sky Arts HD after his performance at the Hay festival in June 2010. Kelly Jones explained the meaning of a few of his songs and said that "Local Boy in the photograph" was based on the true story of local boy Paul Boggis, who was killed by a train travelling between Cwmbach and Aberdare. All the songs on the album are about people and events in the Aberdare area

[NorthCountryBoy43]

@PeteK147 . Yep, his mate killed himself on a railway line.

Hense the line "You'll always be 23"

or better ..about half tv screen a live concert and half a story ...

exscuse me for my bad english

[Kieran84ire]

Mr Jones has a knack of writing about booze, women and death ( probably in that order mind you) but it still sounds VG

[sweetttina666]

Now all kids are will try to get hit by trains so someone will write a song about them

[wearetheglosterboys]

[lwm90]

what a song, one of theeir best ever.

[Mrmemania21]

one of there best

[YayyForYaoi]

TBOz1 is right,

The lead singer told the kid when the next train was - and the next thing he knew, the boy was under it. He didnt find out till the next day when the guys face was staring up at him in the paper.

It really effected him, so he wrote this song, which if you ask me, is one of their best.

[PR2UK]

Thanks for that info

[MrSilban]

@YayyForYaoi

Kelly told him when the next train came ?

(Sorry about my English I´m german)

[YayyForYaoi]

Yes, Kelly told the kid when the next train was coming.

The kid killed himself under the train.

Kelly saw the boys face in the newspaper, and it effected him so badly he wrote this song.

Your english is fine. (:

[deanBORO]

No he didnt!!! haha!

[YayyForYaoi]

Yes he did!!! haha!

o_o
